Great experience

Alex was a great instructor for my beginner scuba diving experience! I was nervous at first, but his support really helped me feel calm and comfortable. I ended up having such a fun and memorable experience! I’d definitely recommend booking a scuba diving experience with them, especially if you’re a beginner!

We saw the Tiger shark Killowaya!

Amazing experience. The crew was awesome, super dialed‑in on safety, and you can tell they care about the sharks. Being in the water with Galapagos and sandbar sharks was already insane, but when Killowaya the tiger shark showed up, the whole dive went next‑level. Seeing a tiger shark up close with no cage is something I’ll never forget. If you’re in Oahu, do this, it’s worth every second.

Great experience

Our tour guides where really cool and knowledgeable. On the ride out there was some wind and waves nothing too bad. Just not a bad idea to take nausea medication before hand !! Lots of sharks and it was amazing. In the cage you need to really hold on the the bar so you dont get hit against the cage.

Absolutely best catamaran out of Wiakiki

Book this one! All female crew was the best! Very accomplished and accommodating. They offer a selection of cocktails, soft drinks and home made cold brew. The turtle whisperer delivered! She was out there on a surfboard pointing them out. We saw plenty. The boat is new and beautiful. I love sailing on the open nets. I did 4 sails in Hawaii! This was the best!

First time swimming with sharks. To be so close to a tiger shark !! 3x for me🫠🫠 absolutely awe inspiring

Gina, Brian and Taylor took us (a crew of about 6-7 people?) out during the 9AM slot today and it was truly an awe inspiring experience. It was my first time getting in water with sharks and as we arrived , the tiger sharks like the apex predators they are were quick to meet us there. Seeing their bodies near the surface of the water , it really struck me then and there that the hour had finally arrived, and I was to actually have to get in the water. LOL. I was pretty nervous, but not having to be the first one in the water (I was the 5th person in), and being a strong swimmer, I held onto the rope on the side of the boat and managed the current. It was so thrilling. My adrenaline was a bit high. Especially when the tiger shark gets close. It is so big o_o Gina and Taylor were so competent in managing us and worked so hard to get us the best photos and videos, I am grateful to have been able to be in such great and comforting leadership. The black tips were also so cool to see. Wow. Truly an awe inspiring experience. Wishing the crew all the best. So grateful. So blessed. Thank you, thank you !!!

With kids

I was so pleased with this experience, we are a family of 5 my husband and 3 daughters. My daughters are 7 and two 4 year old twins, while they were a bit nerves they loved this experience. They are used to the LEGOLAND submarine ride so we thought the real thing would be fun for them, they were mostly scared because they knew we may see a shark and thought it might be dangerous. We explained how safe we would be and we in fact did see a shark and so many beautiful fish. The staff was great and so sweet and informative, would recommend with kids.

Must do experience with this conpany

Outstanding experience with Ocean Outfitters on the North Shore! We did the open-water shark swim, and I cannot thank the crew enough for how well they took care of my 5-year-old son in the water. They were patient, extremely attentive, and made sure he felt completely safe and happy the entire time. Their incredible care completely eased my mind and turned a thrilling dive into a perfect family memory. Highly recommend!

An Unforgettable Snorkeling Adventure with an Amazing Crew!

This was such a memorable experience! The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and getting to watch dolphins in the wild and see a sea turtle living its best life was incredible. The crew made the day even more special. They were fun, friendly, and genuinely cared about everyone on board. I especially want to thank Captain Ben, Ingrid, Kainoa, Kiara, and Kyoka. My oldest son is autistic (high functioning), and they were so attentive, patient, and thoughtful. They made sure he was comfortable and enjoying himself throughout the trip. As a parent, that meant the world to me. A huge mahalo to all of you for your kindness and compassion! Ingrid was also incredibly knowledgeable about the island and shared so many interesting facts that made the experience even better. I also highly recommend purchasing the photo package. I'm so glad I did! Kiara captured so many beautiful photos, allowing me to stay present and enjoy the adventure while knowing those special moments were being preserved. This was truly one of the highlights of our Hawaii vacation, and I would absolutely do it again. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
