The Ultimate Adrenaline Rush

Hawaii's shark diving tours take you 3 miles offshore into crystal-clear waters where Galapagos, sandbar, and tiger sharks patrol. Whether you choose the safety of a cage or the thrill of open water freediving, you'll witness these magnificent predators up close.

No scuba certification required for cage dives—you breathe surface air through a hookah system while sharks circle just feet away. It's safe, thrilling, and unlike anything else in Hawaii.

Most tours depart from Haleiwa Harbor on Oahu's North Shore and last 2-3 hours total, with about 30-45 minutes of shark viewing time.
