Don't leave the north shore before going on this shark tour! 10 out of 10! It was such an incredible experience to be so close to at least a dozen amazing Galapagos sharks. Bonus, we got a glimpse of a whale on the boat ride out to sea. The captain and staff answered all of our questions and made it a safe and fun time! Thank you Haleiwa Shark Tours! I'm recommending this to all of my friends.

We had a successful and safe shark sighting tour the morning of January 8th. Waters were rough, however the 2 young men operating and navigating the Kamohoali'i boat were excellent seamen and found sharks for us to see and whales and dolphins near by were also pointed out to see. Then returned us safely back to the dock. Highly recommend to visit here when you want to see live sharks in their native environment.

These guys were great! Definitely worth the $$$. Our Captain's were informational and helpful. I had a hard time getting out of the cage as I've had double knee surgery and they helped me and made me very comfortable with getting back on the boat. Very chill environment and a beautiful trip. The sharks were amazing to see in their environment. No need to be afraid of trying something new. Amazing experience!!!!

We had a lot of fun with Alexis and Koma. They talked a lot about the sharks we would see and answered a ton of questions. My 10-12 year old kids were treated very well and had a blast.

Definitely a must do if you are into sharks!! Did this activity with my son and absolutely fantastic experience. We saw so many sharks, they come up very close to the cage and circle the cage the whole time. We rented the go pro to capture memories. Definitely a must do for thrill seekers. You feel completely safe all throughout. Water was very choppy for 1pm ride but you have no control over it. Absolutely Loved It!!!! Would do it again.
