We went on the 8 a.m. tour (I'm sorry, but 6 a.m. is just way too freakin early) and the water was still relatively calm. The boyfriend felt a little queasy during the 20-minute ride to the cage, but it's his fault for drinking the night before. I refused to eat breakfast until after, and I felt fine. We volunteered...

I booked this through Expedia (who I have to say were rubbish and completely messed up my booking, however it was resolved and wasn't North Shore Shark Adventures fault). I went with a friend and we asked for the 1st possible tour as I'd read that they can be cancelled if the weather gets bad. There were about 16 of... More

This excursion certainly does not disappoint if your idea of fun is taking a boat out into the ocean for 15 minutes, getting into a shark cage for about 30 minutes, being surrounded by about a dozen 8' to 12' sharks the whole time and then taking the 15 minute boat ride back. That's exactly what we were looking for... More

The North Shore Shark Adventure in Oahu was worth it for me and my kids- girls at 13 years and 10 years. If you have a car to drive , drive up to North Shore Port to save money (about $50 per head to be picked up from Waikiki). The Adventure itself costs about $100 per adult and $60 per... More

Mahalo to the crew on the Abunai!! My husband, son (17) & daughter (19) & I booked the 11 a.m. tour on April 3, 2012. This was by far, the best experience I've ever had. The crew were just awesome in preparing us for the swim and for providing information about the types of sharks we would encounter. On the... More

My husband and I went out on the 7am tour on April 10, 2012. We read the reviews and booked the earliest tour possible so that the water would be at its calmest. When we arrived at the dock, we literally parked and walked up to the boat. Do not expect frills or a show- this isn't that kind of... More

Go!!! It is very safe and I'm an extremely protective mom. We all loved the experience. I went with my husband, 17yr. old son and 15yr. old son. My 11yr. old daughter decided not to do it then regretted missing the experience. We saw many, many sharks. A whale literally swam under our boat then rolled over so we all... More

I was so excited about going on this tour after reading such fantastic reviews on Trip Advisor. My husband and my 6 year old son are both shark fanatics so I thought this would be a fantastic experience for them both and really expected it to be the highlight of our trip. The idea was that my husband would hold... More

The crew take you out the see the sharks which is about a 20 minute trip but there was not much talk from the crew. The boat also didnt have a rest room or a place to change after the snorkle. The cage itself seemed very safe and there were 5-10 sharks in the area (7am trip). We were able... More
