Our cage-free experience allows you to SAFELY swim with sharks in their natural environment. You will walk away with a new perspective and appreciation for these beautiful creatures. Photos and Videos are included for free! We're a family owned and operated company rooted in Haleiwa, Hawai'i on the North Shore of O'ahu. On your trip, we'll be headed three miles off the coast of Hale'iwa to a location that's been in our family for generations, which is about 300 feet deep. A safety diver will escort you into the water where you will be able to safely watch as well as swim with the sharks, and other pelagic creatures. While swimming in the open ocean with sharks and other pelagic creatures, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the ocean and its inhabitants - disposing of the irrational fears and misconceptions of sharks and other ocean creatures. This is a "cage-free" experience where we will be free swimming with sharks for about 30 minutes. No heavy equipment is used. Just us with snorkel gear - so we keep the experience as natural as possible.

Truly an amazing experience! The crew was very chill and helpful, I felt calm and safe the whole time. I could stay out there for hours if I could. 10/10 would definitely book again!

The guides did an amazing job. We got fitted for flippers and they guys cracked jokes but when we got to the spot to see sharks they were serious and super helpful. We ended up seeing 3 sharks and had a fun time doing it.

Amazing so glad I did this and not in a cage, swam with 3 tiger sharks and some regular sharks. Intimidating but best thing I did in Hawaii
