Description
Looking to make your experience of Haleiwa truly unforgettable? Join us on our cage diving with sharks tour! We are the only cage diving experience on Oahu’s North Shore owned and operated by true Native Hawaiians. Our boat holds up to six people, and our tours are available daily. Just want to come along for the ride? We offer rider rates too if you don’t want to brave the cage!
As the North Shore’s only cage-diving experience owned and operated by Native Hawaiians, Haleiwa Shark Tours is the most authentic adventure available.
The sacred and culturally significant mano (shark) is a powerful apex predator that we want to share with visitors and locals alike. Hawai‘i is home to approximately 40 different shark species, all which serve as caretakers of the ocean by removing sick, injured, and deceased animals, thus maintaining a balanced ecosystem.
As we head out 3 miles from Hale‘iwa, we teach you about the importance of sharks to Hawaiian culture and history and even discuss the shark God Kamohoali`i! You learn that when sharks were killed in ancient times, the shark’s skin was used to make drums for music and cultural ceremonies, and the teeth were used to make traditional weapons like clubs. In fact, everything was used, and the mana (energy) would live on in other forms.
We are proud to share our history and one of our most magical family members with you! Come meet this important symbol of Hawaiian culture on a diving experience you’re sure to remember for a lifetime.
