Swim with Sharks (cage-free)

Summary Description

Our cage-free experience allows you to SAFELY swim with sharks in their natural environment. And you'll walk away with a new perspective and appreciation for these beautiful creatures.

We're a family owned and operated from Haleiwa, Hawai'i on the North Shore of Oahu. On your trip, we'll be headed three miles off the coast of Hale'iwa to the "pelagic zone" which is about 250 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, dolphins, whales and other pelagic creatures. With nearly 40 species of sharks in the waters around the Hawaiian Islands, 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 40 minutes. No heavy equipment is used. Just us with snorkel gear - so we keep the experience as natural as possible.
