Highlights
  • Island View Hawaii - Our cage-free experience allows you to SAFELY swim with sharks in their natural environment. You will walk away with a new perspective and appreciation for these beautiful creatures. Photos and Videos are included for free!

We’re a family owned and operated company rooted in Haleiwa, Hawai’i on the North Shore of O’ahu. On your trip, we’ll be headed three miles off the coast of Hale’iwa to a location that’s been in our family for generations, which is about 300 feet deep.

A safety diver will escort you into the water where you will be able to safely watch as well as swim with the sharks, and other pelagic creatures. While swimming in the open ocean with sharks and other pelagic creatures, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the ocean and its inhabitants - disposing of the irrational fears and misconceptions of sharks and other ocean creatures.

This is a “cage-free” experience where we will be free swimming with sharks for about 30 minutes. No heavy equipment is used. Just us with snorkel gear - so we keep the experience as natural as possible.

Amazing experience! Unforgettable! - The staff were very friendly and chatty, they answered any questions we had! They made us feel safe! We got to see about 5/6 reef sharks who got close to the boat. What a great experience that I will never forget! The pictures and videos the staff took were free and they sent them to us straight away!

Top 3 must do in Oahu. - Highly recommend. The crew did great job of educating us. The water is deep blue and you have the opportunity to see many different types of sealife. Definitely a highlight of our trip. Do it! It's amazing!

A fabulous experience with wildlife - Experience was fantastic! Crew was kind, knowledgeable, and wonderful. We felt totally safe throughout the entire experience. The crew made sure to point out the sharks and attract them if they could!! Kinda wish we could’ve taken cameras, cause i feel like there were some pics taken that didn’t get sent to us, but the free photos were super nice and good quality!

Fabulous experience snorkeling with sharks - Wonderful trip swimming with sharks in the deep blue ocean. We saw lots of sharks and just being out in the deep ocean was an experience in itself. The crew and the in water safety divers were incredibly friendly and gave us lots of info about sharks. This is a small family run business that does a great job of giving you an opportunity to swim with sharks in a small group setting. Thanks for a great trip!

Feels safe, 30 mins in water - The staff is very comforting, great customer service. If you don’t want to go in, they won’t force you. You are only in the water for 30 MINUTES, so that was sad, right when more sharks came, they took us out of the water… but it was an amazing experience.

Awesome Experience! - This was an absolutely amazing experience! They did a great job at explaining everything and making me feel comfortable. Slightly intimidating at first but once I got in the water it was fantastic. Highly recommend if you like a little fear factor in your adventures.
