If I could give a 4.5 that would be good. I’ll explain- first off 5/5 for seeing that big of sharks up close! Very very cool. Boat was very nice and crew were great. Easy to find with instructions sent day before! I love that it’s locally owned company

However I didn’t realize the size of cage vs how many people on board - only 11 of us so split in half and each group only got 20 min in the cage . I was expecting a little bit longer time for the price paid and length of tour. I like to know what to expect so that came as a shock I assumed everyone would be in for the length we were there . Would be better if companies advertise this so not false expectations

For my own experience, there wasn’t a photographer so I had a nice camera I was using for my parents… there was a newly wed couple on board who didn’t have a camera , we were in different groups going in water , couple asked me if I could take a few pictures for them I said yes but crew absolutely wouldn’t let me in for a second longer than 20 min as it wouldn’t be fair to others if wanted more time too… I understand that but those other people weren’t asked to take pics, AND there could have been some flexibility either asking other passengers how they felt or let me get in for a minute and end of the first group just to snap a few- getting photos from above is not even close to the same as underwater. Anyway I was just volunteering to help and feel like I got slammed for it with no way to work around- just didn’t sit well with me - especially when one guy on board got out after 5 min in the cage? Sure it won’t work if everyone wants extra time but usually that’s not the case… anyway just personal opinion and experience! Otherwise it was great

Highly recommend booking a tour with Haleiwa Shark Tours! Derek, Kama, Forest, and Kala were all excellent guides and very helpful and knowledgable for the private charter my video production had booked. They helped us feel extremely safe around the sharks and provided some insightful history and context for Hawaiian culture in relation to the ocean. Also recommend them because their boat is large and sturdy and is great for people with motion sickness! Thanks for a great trip :)
