North Shore Shark Adventures

For travelers seeking an unforgettable marine adventure on Oahu, North Shore Shark Adventures offers a thrilling and safe way to come face-to-face with Hawaii’s most fascinating predators.

As the original shark cage diving company in Hawaii, operating since 2001, they’ve introduced thousands of visitors to the beauty and importance of sharks in Hawaiian waters.

Over 20 Years of Experience

North Shore Shark Adventures was the first company to offer shark cage diving in Hawaii, and their experience shows. With more than two decades of incident-free operation, they’ve earned a reputation for professionalism, safety, and customer satisfaction.

Guaranteed Shark Sightings

Their tours take guests three miles off Oahu’s North Shore, into waters naturally frequented by Galapagos, sandbar, and gray reef sharks. The company guarantees shark sightings on every trip—no baiting required, just respectful, eco-conscious encounters in the sharks’ natural habitat.

Family-Friendly and Accessible

The tours are designed for a wide range of visitors. No scuba certification is needed, and even non-swimmers can enjoy the cage experience with provided flotation and snorkeling equipment. Children ages 3 and up are welcome on board, and observer tickets are available for guests who prefer to stay dry.

Convenient Scheduling & Transportation

With early morning departures (ideal for calm seas and clear water), North Shore Shark Adventures offers multiple time slots each day. Optional shuttle service from Waikīkī makes access easy for visitors staying in Honolulu.

Commitment to Safety and Conservation

North Shore Shark Adventures places a strong emphasis on guest safety and environmental responsibility. The crew provides a comprehensive safety briefing before every tour, and all equipment is sanitized and maintained to the highest standards.

Importantly, the company adheres to Hawaii’s wildlife protection laws—there is no live baiting, chumming, or shark feeding. Sharks arrive naturally due to the vessel’s presence and the vibrations of the engines, ensuring that interactions remain respectful and non-disruptive.

Their mission is not only to provide an unforgettable experience, but to educate guests about the critical role sharks play in maintaining healthy ocean ecosystems.

Outstanding Reviews and Reputation

With thousands of five-star reviews on TripAdvisor, Google, and Yelp, North Shore Shark Adventures consistently ranks among the top-rated activities on Oahu. Visitors highlight the professionalism of the crew, the awe-inspiring nature of the experience, and the sense of safety throughout the tour.
