Shark tour Went on this awesome shark tour with my girlfriend. We had a blast! Saw so many sharks and even heard whales singing in the water. We saw lots of Galapagos sharks! All super friendly and swam around the cage the entire time, Definitely worth it. They have amazing staff and really good boat captains as well. If you are looking to do a shark tour this is definitely the one for you to do.

We took our kids for this excursion on our recent trip to Turtle Bay. The captains (Keys and the main captain) were awesome. They were informative and helpful through the process and were big on safety. We had an awesome time. Make sure to get a water proof case for your phone to grab photos.

I had a wonderful experience with Haleiwa Shark Tours. The crew was very responsive and communicative from the moment I booked. I was a little nervous at first about the dive, but felt well taken care of by the crew. It was a really memorable, even relaxing, experience in the end.

Really great experience! The captain and deckhand were very knowledgeable and helpful. The water was crystal clear and along with seeing sharks we were fortunate enough to also see a whale. Captain Derek and Deckhand Koma were amazing and glad we chose the locally owned shark experience! Would highly recommend this company! Mahalo!

My daughter and I had an amazing time during our Haleiwa shark tour. The guide and boat captain were very knowledgeable and engaging with us. While on our way out to the dive site, the guides pointed out pods of dolphins and whales in the water around us. During our dive, the guides told us all about the sharks and fish we observed during the dive. It was an amazing time that you can't pass up.

This was an amazing experience!! They were knowledgeable, professional and fun! The boat was clean and everything was well thought out. They knew exactly where to find large sharks, I was scared to do this and I felt VERY safe while in the cage and with these professionals. They knew how to get the sharks to come up to the cage. They had a photographer who got a video of us and she was outside of the cage! I will bring my whole family next time! Such an incredible experience! Oh, and we saw so many whales close up!! πŸ’–πŸ’–DON’T miss this!!
