Depart beautiful Haleiwa Harbor on the North Shore of Oahu as you take a three-mile journey to the shark grounds, with water depths of around 400-feet. Along the way, enjoy the beautiful rural coastline and watch for playful Spinner Dolphins or Humpback Whales (in season Dec-April) frolicking in the warm waters.
See the curious Galapagos and Sandbar Sharks appear from the ocean depths as you climb into the Plexi-glass shark cage for an underwater look! This large cage can accommodate up to six (6) people comfortably and has built-in hand rails, ladder, and 2-feet by 6-feet wide Plexi-glass viewing windows. The cage floats atop the water and with your mask and snorkel you will be able to view the sharks underwater from the safety of the cage.

Sharks are naturally dangerous, but the amazing crew of Hawaii Shark Encounter apply years of knowledge and experience to provide a safe environment for humans and sharks to meet. This tour brings you out to the sharks in their native waters so you can enjoy their power and grace "face to face".
Animal Planet, Discovery Channel, and National Geographic have all featured Hawaii Shark Encounters as they are thrilled to help educate people worldwide about sharks. |

The tour leaves Haleiwa Small Boat Harbor and lasts two-hours. Tours are available throughout the day Shark Adventures uses a custom 32-foot Anderson boat with a swim step on the transom of the boat. Safety of our passengers is our first priority. A safety briefing is given at the start of the tour. People may bring their own mask and snorkel, however, fins are not necessary. Masks and snorkels are also provided on the vessel "Kailolo II". "Kailolo" means water crazy. Once we get to the area, the shark cage is placed in the water. The cage floats on the surface of the water. The water is a cobalt blue and visibility is approximately 200 feet or more. You can actually see the sharks come up from the deep.

While on this tour, you will have the opportunity to also see Hawaiian Green Sea turtles, dolphins and humpback whales,depending on the season.
The cage itself, can hold two people very comfortably, however, we have had up to four people in it at a time, depending on the weather conditions. We travel offshore of Haleiwa approximately 3 to 4 miles. People are encouraged to bring underwater cameras because they will be able to get some of the best photographs of Hawaiian sharks possible anywhere. |

The size of the sharks range from 5 feet to 15 feet. These sharks will be only inches away from the cage and those inside. You may stay as long as you want in the cage to enjoy the spectacular view.
People from around the World, including England, Ireland, Canada, New Zealand, Australia and Japan. from almost every State in the mainland have enjoyed the tour. Some of the people that come on the tour have not even been in the ocean before. A lot of people come with phobia about sharks. After our tour their inhibitions and phobias disappear and they have a greater respect for the shark and its beauty.
North Shore Shark Adventures have been featured on the BBC Outdoors in England, ESPN Outdoors and soon will be on Canadian Wildlife television. The tour itself includes the boat ride and viewing the sharks from the deck. You may also sign up to enter the cage. Kama'aina rates and military rates are available ..................
