Highly recommend! My family had an amazing experience that will last a lifetime. Captain Ryan and Taylor were exceptionally attentive to every passenger! Don't pick a shark encounter tour that uses a cage when you can instead swim in the open water with them!! Can't wait to get the underwater photos taken by the crew.

Small cozy boat tour. Ryan and Taylor were great in explaining the Shark Dive tour as soon as we got out on their boat. Taylor does the first jump into water to gauge the mood of the sharks; put us first-timers at ease seeing her go in first! I’d highly recommend doing the early 6:30 shark dive like we did.

Taylor offers a photo/video package if you’re interested in capturing some great-quality footage.

If you're thinking about doing something adventurous while in Hawaii, this is it!! My husband and I were thinking about snorkeling with turtles, but decided to be brave and try swimming with sharks. It's a little tricky to find the harbor relying on maps, but we got a text message with better directions the day before. The crew was friendly and we were able to go out with a smaller group (6 of us and 3 crew members), which made for a great experience. Neither of us has been snorkeling before, and our crew walked us through the steps and gave us pointers. (If you have a mustache, you may not get a great deal on your mask). The swells were pretty big and I was feeling a bit seasick by the end of the expedition, so consider taking Dramamine beforehand.
We boated out a few miles and the crew attracted the sharks up to the surface. My heart stopped to see the sharks swimming right beneath the boat. When it came time to get in the water, I let all the others go first before I was brave enough to take the plunge. It is such a an incredible and unique experience to be in the water with sharks. It was scary, but the crew was so knowledgeable and experienced. We had a safety swimmer who swam back and forth along our group to keep the sharks from getting too close to us. There is also an under water photographer to capture this moment for you! The sharks swam under and around us, and while it was terrifying at first, I never had any reason to actually feel threatened by them (other than just being in the ocean with sharks). I felt like we had plenty of time in the water with the sharks and were able to see them swim around us a good many times. Seriously a once in a lifetime experience and well worth the money. We booked through the military MWR at the NEX.

I never thought I’d swim with sharks on purpose, but it was one of the most memorable things I’ve ever done! Captain Ryan was awesome, and we felt safe the whole time. I’d recommend this tour to anyone! Glad we got the pictures too, so amazing ?

My family and I had an amazing experience during our shark snorkeling with Ryan and Victoria! From the moment we booked they were responsive. We got detailed instructions for the meetup and once at the location we were greeted enthusiastically, had a safety brief, and departed comfortably to the dive point. Got so see a lot of sharks and with several of us in the group we all enjoyed different experiences at our own comfort levels and every one of us left with smiles and laughs.

Awesome time with a great crew! Very knowledgeable and friendly! We had an awesome time getting to freely swim with the sharks, definitely a highlight to our trip. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a shark diving experience

Over the last few years I’ve been on almost all the shark tour companies on north shore and this one has by far been my favorite! They give the most time in the water with the sharks and also have an extremely friendly crew. Very helpful and I felt safe the whole time in the water. We even saw a huge tiger shark which was epic! 10/10 recommend, I’ll be back

This is by far one of those most exciting activities I have done on the north shore! My fiancé and I were a little nervous going into it but the experience swimming with sharks is definitely one we will not forget! The amount of time you get to spend with the sharks is great and the staff is amazing and super friendly! I highly recommend this company for your next adventure!
