Shark swimming next to a floating dive cage off Oahu North Shore
From
$150
Duration
2 hrs
Location
Oahu, Hawaii
Board a small charter boat from Haleiwa Harbor and motor three miles offshore to the open Pacific, where Galapagos and sandbar sharks circle a floating steel cage at the surface. No dive certification needed — you snorkel from inside the cage. Tours run year-round and last about two hours including the boat ride.

Frequently asked questions

Is the shark cage dive safe?⌄

Yes — the cage is at the surface, you snorkel rather than scuba dive, and there have been no recorded incidents on Oahu operators in 20+ years.

What time of year is best?⌄

Year-round, but May–September has the calmest seas.

Will I get seasick?⌄

The ride is short (15 min) but choppy. Take Dramamine 30 minutes before boarding if you are prone.
