This is a must do! The crew was great and made everyone super comfortable. My 14 year old daughter started out "terrified" when she heard about no cage. But by the end of the tour, she was bummed we didn't see MORE sharks!? These guys are also the only family run tour out of Haleiwa harbor. Awesome experience!
Amazing experience!

The crew was super nice. They explained everything to us before the tour and took away our fear of the sharks. Even during the tour everything was relaxed and in the water it was really cool. We saw a big Galapagos shark and it was totally impressive. Many thanks to the crew for the great experience
Awe-inspiring

This was a really special experience. All instructions were clear and easy to follow. The guides were knowledgeable about the sharks and other wildlife. It’s not for everyone but if you’re down I say you can’t go wrong with this business!
Best experience ever!

I had an amazing experience! The cousins were very nice and professional. They took great photos and shared them with us for free. We were not allowed to take our own cameras underwater, so there's no need to bring one. We saw two types of sharks, and they were adorable! I highly recommend this experience! It has been rainy recently, but we were lucky to see the sharks. The experience is definitely worth it, especially compared to other tours in Hawaii and their prices. I did get sick before the day I booked, and I contacted them in the night, they helped me to reschedule and provided great service! Thank you so much!
Memorable experience!

Weather was TERRIBLE but the crew helped make it an enjoyable activity. It was both terrifying and exhilarating at the same time. I am not a great swimmer and have never snorkeled, after a quick lesson I felt safe and capable. I am also completely afraid of sharks, the crew helped me through it. My adult children and my 12 year old (great swimmers) had a blast. Would love to do it again, but hoping for better weather next time.
Awesome experience
