Derek and Lono were amazing guides and very helpful to everyone. From the brave to the more unsure. They made sure we got the most out of the diving experience and had a lot of shark viewing action! Safety was their main concern. Fun was only number 2 due to necessity. Definitely take this tour!

So so so fun!!! Went on the 7am tour and highly recommend going early! We had 4 Galapagos sharks with us the entire time and were surprised to see a whale on the way back. Derek and Lono were the absolute best and so knowledgeable. Would definitely go again next time I’m in Hawaii!!

On Monday, November 18, 2024, I checked off a bucket list item…shark dive. What an amazing experience! Not only were the Captains informative but compassionate and engaging. The my experience was incredible! My family’s Aumakua is the Manō, so to see these beautiful creatures up close was absolutely breathtaking! Highly recommend this tour with locals from the islands. 🤙🏽 Mahalo nui loa and Aloha 💕

The crew was fantastic! They did everything to try and hype everyone up on the boat and ease any nervous jitters. Safety was top of mind and before they even turned on the boat they went through all of the safety announcements about life vests and even how to work the radio if needed. There were some massive waves that day so they prepared us for a bumpy ride but it didn't seem bad at all. Great views so enjoy the ride out to the cage. Once we got to the cage we immediately saw some sharks swimming around and they gave us instruction on how to walk down the ladder into the cage. We decided to have video and photos taken and Andi was fantastic! Once I got in the cage I really struggled with the snorkel and the guys told me to take it off and just hold my breath which made everything much more enjoyable. The experience is awesome! Glad I asked what would happen if one happens to touch you and they told us their skin feels like extreme sandpaper and would shred your hands. I wasn't planning on petting any sharks but now I know. Overall it was a unique experience and we are so glad we did it!!

My first time doing this tour, and it was absolutely amazing! Derek and Lono were not only incredibly knowledgeable but also hilarious, making the entire experience so much fun. The boat was in excellent condition, and the tour was exceptionally well-organized and professional. I can't recommend this tour enough—it truly exceeded all expectations and stands out as the best option out there. If you're considering a shark tour, look no further!
