What To Expect

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.

  • Best decision ever!

    This experience was so amazing! The tour guides immediately put me to ease. I’d never been snorkeling and/or used fins before, yet they weren’t phased. The experience itself was incredible, coming face to face with sharks is unbelievable. I wasn’t scared for a minute. I recommend this to anyone who travels to Oahu! The super “touristy” vibe didn’t apply here and they did their best to make everyone comfortable and ensured everyone had a good time. Pictures were included and amazing, they tried their best to get everyone in a picture with the sharks, at the end of the day - the experience was for exactly that and not just for the “ig pics”.

  • So awesome that I had to book it 2x

    A great experience for me! So good that I had to do it 2x. A tip, just be present in the experience versus being distracted by getting a great photo as they have top notch photographers

    Amazing experience. The atmosphere was comfortable with an emphasis on safety. We saw like 20+ sharks & it was really one of the most awe inspiring moments my fiancé & myself have ever experienced. These guys are the only real option if you’re thinking about shark diving.

    There aren’t enough words to explain how amazing this experience is!!! We were super excited after reading many amazing reviews and were eagerly waiting for our experience. Immediately we felt welcome and safe. Braxton our safety diver was incredible - super knowledgeable, funny, and cool. He gave us a ton of info about the sharks beforehand which made it not scary at all. We were lucky enough to see about 7-10 Galapagos/sandbar sharks! They came up pretty close to us, but are more interested in the boat than people. We also got to see a barracuda and saw a glimpse of a hammerhead! The time flew by and we are already wanting to come back :) Such an amazing opportunity & glad to support a family business!! Much love from PA!
