Great Experience! - Our group of 5 had a fantastic trip! We learned so much about the sharks before going in the waters. The company called me due to our original time of booking being too dangerous to go out, and were able to get us on an earlier time slot. Great communication! Highly recommend!

Great experience - Very friendly and attentive crew, we really enjoyed the activity. I was a little concerned because my kid is only 11 but it looks super safe and we saw lots of sharks. Great job experience in general and I would definitely repeat without the cage next time.

Absolutely amazing - This was a bucket list moment I got to share with someone. Awesome time in the cage. Plenty of time in the cage and awesome close up with the local sharks. Highly recommend

Lots of sharks, but ouch. - Tons of sharks. Everywhere. Bumpy as hell in the water. Knocked the hell out of myself against the cage. Didn't enjoy being kicked by the people with us in the cage. It was chaos in there. We rented a gopro, but didn't know how to use it. Unfortunately when we got home it was all audio. :( They promised sharks and they delivered. But if you get sea sick, it's gonna happen. It was cool...if you're into sharks. We also got jelly stings, but they weren't that bad. Can't give it a bad rating, just super bummed about the gopro and the force in which i was thrown against the cage from the waves really hurt. I wasn't expecting that.

Best shark experience - We loved shark diving! We saw several Galapagos sharks and some fish. The water can get a bit rough (it’s the ocean so it’s expected) I did get sea sick and I would highly recommend not eating a big meal before going out and taking some anti- nausea. The staff was so kind, funny and informative. This is a really good excursion to do to help change your view point on sharks. It was so cool seeing them so close in person! I cannot recommend them enough.

Do it!! - This was a bucket list item It did not disappoint. Our captain and crew were very chill calm and collected. They were informative and helpful. The boat ride out was choppy but beautiful. So many sharks in the water! Coolest thing ever!

The experience was... - The experience was amazing!!! We saw lots of sharks. One tiger shark and a dozen Galapagos sharks. My husband got much better video by just turning on video and letting it run instead of trying to take pictures. That way he could be in the moment and get good video. Good crew on boat. Very informative about sharks. Very safe and never felt nervous. I’m not a big snorkler and the equipment worked well. I would definitely recommend the first dive of the day.

Great adventure!! So happy we did it! - Our family of 4 (2 girls ages 9 and 6) had an absolute blast on this tour!! I highly recommend renting the GoPro for $50 if you do not have your own. It was a bit harder than I expected trying to hold onto the cage as it navigated the sometimes large swells of the North Side, but once I got the hang of it, I could help the kids more! We were blessed with a huge Tiger Shark Siting which made the trip even more exciting. There were some jellyfish stings that I wasn't expecting, but after a full moon, they came out in Hawaii, and there is nothing you can do about that. It didn't stop us though from fully enjoying the tour! Great crew members and an overall great time. We did the early tour and only had one other couple so we were able to experience the water a bit longer which also was a bonus. I recommend the early tour since the water is less likely to be so rough- Northside can get pretty gnarly. Thanks for a memorable trip!

Disappointed - I think the waves were too rough for the shark dive. You couldn’t enjoy being in the cage since we were being thrown around all over the place. My friend and I both beat up with bruises from being thrown in the cage.
