Great crew and amazing experience - I don’t know how to swim but the crew helped me out a lot and I ended up seeing 7-8 sharks really close to the cage. Someone in our boat got seasick and the crew made sure they took care of her as well. Felt really safe and taken care of by the crew. There were also a lot of sharks in the area they took us to. Many sharks come up to the surface near the boat so you can see them even as an observer. The sharks are harmless. Would definitely recommend since it’s such a rare and thrilling experience!

Good but easy have motion sickness - It was so cool! The shark is literally around you and the distance is you may touch the shark. So close. But need to drive 20 minutes, current is strong. Easy to have motion sickness.

10/10 Would do again - If you’ve ever wanted to cage dive this is a great first experience! We took our two kids, both young teens, they absolutely loved it. There were many sharks in the area swimming close to the cage. Had great views up close, both in the water and from the boat. Go-Pros available to rent which was a great option. You can be in the moment seeing with your own eyes, but still take the footage home to rewatch over and over. If you’re prone to sea sickness, it may not be as enjoyable for you (we had at least 5 people on the boat puke). But 10/10 would do it again.

Go swim with the sharks. - This is a must do expérience. People are afraid of sharks but this is a cool way to interact with them. On top of that, you get awesome videos and photos you can share with friends and family after the experience.

Great, just take motion sickness meds - Was great the tour guides were awesome. Definitely recommend motion sickness medication, even if you don’t get motion sick. Everyone on the boat got pretty queasy.

Loved this!!! - Loved this!!! So worth the money and saw many sharks! There were only 6 of us (2 could not make it) so we all got to go in the cage at the same time instead of doing 3 cycles of 3people, lasting a whole 45 minutes in the water instead of 25! The two instructors were incredible nice and had good fun vibes. 10/10

Very Disappointing! - This was VERY disappointing. My friend and I booked the 9am on 1/22. The meeting time was 8:30 am. After a one hour Uber there we were informed it was canceled due to weather. We were not informed of this earlier, but at the time we were scheduled to be there for check in. Disappointed but understanding we rebooked for today (1/23), same 9am time slot. Because of the experience we had the prior day I called and spoke with someone around 7am just to confirm everything was ok today. I spoke with someone and he told me they were taking the first group out and the harbor looked good. We take Another hour Uber out to the North Shore just to receive an email at 8:20 am as we were pulling in for our 8:30 check-in that the encounter had been canceled yet Again. Two days, four 1 hour Uber rides ($100+), late cancellations and still no shark encounter. My friend and I were just very disappointed with the company overall. There was no one there for us to speak to in person and when you call the number there’s no sense of compassion they just tell you to call for a refund. I personally would not recommend this company to anyone

Do not book with them - This is the 2nd time that they have cancelled at the last minute. We are an hour away and we’ve wasted our time twice. Very unprofessional and you should not book with them! Worst part of Hawaii is there shark cage diving experience
