Our family had an unforgettable time with Haleiwa Shark Tours — we are Oahu residents and this is our second time with the company, my son wanted to do it again for his birthday. From start to finish, the experience was safe, exciting, and deeply educational. We saw lots of sharks up close, and it was absolutely breathtaking to watch them glide through the water in their natural environment.

A huge shoutout to Lono, one of the crew members, who made the tour even more special. His deep knowledge of the sharks and his passion for Hawaiian culture really shined through. He shared fascinating facts and stories that helped us better appreciate not just the sharks, but the deep cultural connection Hawaiians have with the ocean. You could feel his respect for the sea and the creatures that live in it — it was inspiring.

We felt safe, informed, and completely blown away by the whole experience. If you're visiting the North Shore and looking for something unique, this is it. Highly recommend Haleiwa Shark Tours to anyone — families, couples, or solo travelers — looking to connect with nature in the most awe-inspiring way. Mahalo for the memories!

One of the best tours we've experienced in Hawaii! We went out with Captain Derek and Nelly. Both were incredibly informative, make sure we were all comfortable, and gave us a bunch of great information on sharks. This was truly and experience worth having... would absolutely do it again.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL…. THIS IS A MUST DO IN HAWAII!!!!

NGL… was skeptical at first but once I got on the boat I was ready to go swimming. Capt Derik and Nelly are the coolest crew. They answered all the questions the kids had, they were very experienced and knew what they were doing that’s for sure.

Made everything FUN, highly recommend. I honestly do not want to go home!!!

DO THIS! Will not regret it AT ALL!!!

We were looking for a safe, family-friendly shark and whale tour in Haleiwa, Oahu, especially since we have young children under 7 years old. Safety and comfort were our top priorities, and Loho and Tyler, our amazing captains on the Haleiwa shark tour, delivered beyond expectations.

From the start, they made us feel welcome and secure. They provided water, life jackets, and most importantly, a calm, reassuring presence. I was hesitant at first about taking our boys on a shark tour, but they absolutely loved it! The experience sparked a genuine curiosity and appreciation for the ocean and marine life.

What really stood out was how the crew stayed so hands-on and supportive—they even came into the cage to assist if anyone needed help. That level of care really made us feel like part of their ’ohana (family).

We left the tour not only wanting more, but also feeling connected to the Hawaiian spirit of family and respect for nature. Hawaii is all about community, and supporting a locally-owned, family-run tour like this is exactly what every visitor should do.

Mahalo to Loho, Tyler, and the entire team for a memory we’ll never forget!

Just got done with our tour and had a blast! Tyler and Lono are awesome and we're super informative with our questions. We were able to see a nice group of sharks and tended to everyone in the group. We went to the early morning group and it was a beautiful day to do it.

Definitely will come again! Thank you Tyler and Lono 5 stars for you guys. 🤙

Captain Lono and First Mate Kama are awesome Watermen!! They are super friendly locals with deep connections to the community and they know how to extend the Aloha Spirit to all their guests! Safety comes first on their boat and they ensure all their guests feel safe and get a full breakdown of the rules and procedures to keep them from harm. My group saw tons of sharks, dolphins, yellowfin tuna, mahi mahi, and jelly's. Great adventure and well worth the price, plus the whole company is locally owned and operated!
