Shark Tours on Oahu's North Shore

As the North Shore’s only shark cage diving experience owned and operated by Native Hawaiians, Haleiwa Shark Tours is the most authentic adventure available.

The sacred and culturally significant mano (shark) is a powerful apex predator that we want to share with visitors and locals alike. Hawai‘i is home to approximately 40 different shark species, all which serve as caretakers of the ocean by removing sick, injured, and deceased animals, thus maintaining a balanced ecosystem.

Not only are sharks essential players in healthy marine life populations, but they are also ‘aumākua to many Hawaiians — a family god, a deified ancestor reborn in shark form. There are many beautiful legends in our Hawaiian history of sharks acting as spiritual counselors, protecting family members from drowning, or aiding in food supply for fishing families, and they’re even a central figure in the Hawaiian Islands’ creation story.

THE ORIGINAL HAWAIIAN SHARK TOUR IN HALEIWA ★★★★★

Amazing!! Favorite thing we did all week! Not only did we get to swim with sharks, which would have taken the cake, but we saw whales and got to hear them singing, too.

We got lost and were very late and the staff waited for us. They were great throughout the excursion as well. And respectful of the sharks. About 20 sharks showed up. (All Gallapogas). It was an amazing experience!

Excellent tour, saw lots of sharks up close, fantastic experience. The guys running the tour were great, made the experience very enjoyable. Excellent visibility today.

This experience touched my soul. You NEED to do this once in your life (or a couple million times) The crew was amazing and was there for you 100% If you have any hesitation just DO IT!!!

couldn’t have asked for a better day! This company have an amazing appreciation for the sharks which made the experience even more incredible. Thanks so much for providing a 10/10 experience, highly recommend!

"This was an amazing life changing experience and I urge everyone to do it. It's completely safe. Once I saw the setup I wasn't even a bit afraid. If you get motion sick, and are planning this in winter, take half a Dramamine and you will be fine! Don't forget to tip your captain and his first mate. We will be going back!"

tripadvisor logo

The crew was fantastic! I was TERRIFIED and they really take the time to educate you and make you feel safe in order to overcome the fear of getting in the cage! It was the most amazing experience! So many sharks, several breeds....worth EVERY PENNY!!!

"Best experience our family has ever had! Even our 8 year old got in the cage. Captain Dave was funny, informative, helpful and played the best music a.k.a baby shark to keep the family smiling as we rolled out into the open ocean. We love sharks and this was such an incredible experience that we will repeat any time we head back to this beautiful island! A shark cage dive and then exploring North Shore was an amazing day! Thank you for letting us have this incredible experience!"

"My group and I (7 people total) had such a wonderful time during our tour! The crew was amazing! And even tho it was little rough seas we were able to enjoy a lot! Lots of sharks and clear water! Crew was very informative about the especies and keeping we all safe! This was my 3rd time doing this tour with Hawaii Shark Encounters and I can't wait to go again!!! Also we were able to see a whale!!! It was definitely the highlight of our day!"

"We went out on the first trip at 7 AM. The two employees were very nice and knowledgeable about the sharks. I felt very safe in the cage. I never wanted to get out of it. It was amazing to see that many large sharks up close. Perfect location to keep driving along the northern coast afterward and see many beaches."

"Even though the water was extremely rough it was an amazing experience. And thanks to the captain and his first mate for keeping an eye on our 5yo while we enjoyed the sharks. They were very professional and had our safety as their first priority at all times!! We would definitely recommend this trip to others even with small kids. If the water wasn't so rough our 5yo would have loved it and our 11yo said it was the best experience yet!!"

"I have to admit I did not know what to expect on our adventure this morning. It was fantastic!!! The crew was great and very nice. We had the "A team" at 7:00 am. The water was great and sharks were everywhere! I will definitely recommend this company to others. We loved it!! We live on the island so when friends come we will send them to you!"

"Our family of four had a great time on this trip. Our Captain David and guide Ephram were both very friendly and taught us a lot about the sharks and waters we were in. We had the 10 AM trip this morning but we're able to head out a little earlier because all three parties showed up early. We felt very safe in the cage and must've saw 40 sharks in the water. Our family would highly recommend this trip for the sharks and the amazing service!"

  • What to bring: Change of clothes, towel, reef-safe sunscreen, waterproof camera, and a bottle of water
  • Recommend attire: Swimwear and anything clothing you don't mind getting wet.

Overall rating

Facing my fear was so worth it, the experience was so thrilling and the sharks are so cute once your up close!

Great Morning Out, was the only package on the Island (I checked with tonnes of tour guides out there) that offered Transport to the North Shore and Time in the town up there. 100% recommend, Get out of Waikiki and see ... the island and some Sharks. We also saw Dolphins and Wales but didn't get a refund for that.

Do the EARLY morning tour, it's worth waking up early!

Sharks!! Yes...SHARKS. And yes, you CAN see them from the boat. It's wild to see such majestic creatures in their natural habitat. You go a few miles offshore for this trip so it does get choppy. We did an early morning ... tour which has calmer ocean conditions than the later tours. And I am so glad we did! We only had a super light breakfast before going out (think a bit of fruit, light bites only).

Cancellation Policy

Change policy, what is the possibility of the shark getting into the cage.

This has never happened in North Shore Shark Adventure's 11 years of operation. Sharks have never shown interest in entering the cage. Although the sharks you see, mainly Galapagos sharks, are large, they are more interested in eating the fish.

How long are you in the cage?

You will be in the cage for approximately 20 minutes, offering plenty of time to get up close and personal with the sharks.

How big is the cage?

The metal cage is 9 feet by 8 feet wide and 8 feet tall (deep). There are handle-bars inside the cage on all sides and plexi-glass windows for clear and unobstructed views. A step-ladder is available to allow easy access.

How many people can fit in the shark cage?

Cage divers are broken into 2-3 groups. Depending on passenger count, size, and ability, we may place up to 8 people in the cage comfortably.

How far in advance should I book this activity?

We recommend booking at least 1-2 weeks in advance. If you have very specific schedule requirements and are not flexible, please book sooner. Last-minute availability is often possible, but limited.

What type of boat is used?

Abunai is a custom designed 47-foot aluminum boat and only two years old. Seats 28 passengers but a maximum of 24 for passengers are allowed for the guest's comfort. Padded seats and backrests are available for comfortable seating. Kaiou is a custom designed 35-foot aluminum boat and only two years old. Seats a maximum of 19 for passengers. Padded seats and backrests are available for comfortable seating. Anela is a 32-foot Anderson boat and the heart of the company. One of the original boats in the fleet and seats 15 passengers but a maximum of 12 passengers are allowed for the guest's comfort. This is a true fishing boat and has one of the original cages assigned to it. This boat is operated only as needed.

Do I need to know how to swim?

No. The cage is a closed environment with handlebars, allowing you to support yourself in the water without swimming.

How old is the minimum age to participate?

Children 3 years and older can get in the cage, while all ages may observe sharks from the boat.

However, sharks are actually fascinating creatures, and there are plenty of good reasons to swim with them.
