My brother and I booked this on a whim and it ended up being the highlight of our trip. The crew was super friendly and made everyone feel safe and excited. As soon as we got into the cage, we were surrounded by at least a dozen Galapagos sharks—some of them were huge! The visibility was amazing, and we even spotted dolphins on the boat ride out. Highly recommend this if you’re in Oahu.

This was hands-down one of the most incredible things I’ve ever done. I was nervous at first, but the crew was so calm, knowledgeable, and funny—they put me at ease right away. The sharks came right up to the cage, and it was way more peaceful than I expected. Even if you’re a little hesitant, DO IT. Just bring motion sickness pills if you get queasy. Would give this 10 stars if I could!
