Hawaii Shark Adventures
A Hawaii Shark Adventure Tour
Our Hawaii Adventure vessel depart Haleiwa Harbor on Oahu's North Shore daily. We motor out
to International waters, 3 miles off shore to the shark grounds. For the next hour and a half
we share the excitement and our knowledge of the sharks of the famous North Shore.
Our Hawaii Shark Adventure gives you the opportunity to experience the beauty and excitement
of real sharks in their native waters. Hawaii Shark Encounters are proud of our reputation as
partners in a worldwide effort to improve popular understanding of sharks. HSE's
Hawaii shark adventure crews have been featured on Discovery, National Geographic, and Animal Planet.
Your Hawaii Shark Adventure Tour
Your Hawaii Shark Adventure Tour is truly an experience of a lifetime. The North shore has always had a large resident group of Galapagos and sandbar sharks. We visit a site where the sharks naturally occur and observe them as they go about their business. Guests are presented with facts about shark biology and behavior, as well as information about other ocean creatures such as Whales, dolphins and turtles. We discuss the demise of sharks due to shark fining and over fishing and hand out information with more information on how to get involved in non-profit organizations and tips on what each individual can do to help.
The Hawaii Shark Adventure
The shark cage is where the biggest Hawaii shark adventure thrills happen.
The arrival of the first shark signals the time for the first "shark adventure victims"
to get in the cage. The water here is over 600 feet deep, and as clear and blue as the open ocean,
so just getting in is heart pounding. Once you're in the cage, the big Poly Glass windows are nearly
transparent, so when that 10-foot-long Galapagos shark sweeps his nose against the glass, it looks
like he's coming right in with you. Don't worry, he can't get in. In fact, you can press your nose
against the glass too and you'll be just a quarter inch away from the business end of one big shark!
The cage is open at the top so you can get in and out easily. It's roomy inside, so you can move
around freely. See our "Shark Cage" page for more details.
What You Need to Know
Absolutely no diving experience is required for this veritable Hawaii shark adventure diving fest. But just because everyone can do it, doesn't mean experienced divers will
be bored. Far from it! From underwater pros to people who have never even been in the ocean, our
Hawaii shark adventure is for everyone!
After the shark tour, check out the town and beautiful public beaches nearby. The harbor is easy walking
distance from lots of great shops and site-seeing in Haleiwa town.
