Itinerary
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.

Our week in Hawaii was unforgettable, and this tour truly stood out as the highlight of our trip. While we've dived with sharks before in Cancun, nothing quite compares to the experience provided by this local, family-owned operation.
The staff were not only well-prepared and knowledgeable about the wildlife, but also incredibly friendly. They prioritized the safety of both visitors and animals, fostering an organic approach that emphasized mutual respect between humans and sharks. It was evident that they deeply cared about the well-being of these magnificent creatures.
During our 30-minute underwater adventure, we had the privilege of swimming alongside two magnificent Galapagos sharks. It was an incredibly serene and breathtaking experience. The cherry on top? They captured stunning photos and videos for us, all complimentary.
Thank you once again for the exceptional service and for creating such a remarkable experience for us. Without a doubt, it was worth every moment.

This was an incredible experience for my husband and I! The crew was so fun and welcoming, and made us feel safe and comfortable. They told us about the history of the company and about the different sharks we might see. I like that they keep the tour groups small. We saw a few different sharks and even spinner dolphins on our way back. The crew took some really awesome pictures and videos. I highly recommend! The only bad part was that I got sea sick, but it was well worth it!

Staff were super respectful of the sharks and other ocean life we saw, gave a great overview of what to expect before we left the dock, checked in for safety and comfort often and were fun and kind the entire adventure. We got to see dolphins on the way out to spot we anchored to see the sharks, saw some sandbar and glapagos sharks and even a barricuda. we had a wonderful adventure watching the sharks swim. A huge plus was getting the pictures taken by the crew as part of the package, no extra cost. This is a family run local tour company and theu really know their stuff!
