Amazing experience Allie, Kevin, and Gunner were amazing. This was the second time with this company and got to see a 15 foot pregnant female tiger shark! Great experience would highly reccomend doing again.

Honestly so much better than we expected! Truthfully went in anxious and nervous but it turned out amazing (especially for a girl who usually won’t go past knee depth in the ocean). The staff were amazing and my teenage kids loved it!

It was AMAZING! We saw 6 sharks. They are beautiful creatures! The boat ride was fun. Our 2 guides were friendly and did a great job! There is an opportunity to have pictures taken of you in the water and purchase them at the end of the trip. Highly recommend!

Shark Dive

Carrie_D, Jul 2026

We saw about 10 tiger sharks. Crew was knowledgable and made the excursion fun. Will definitely go back.

Must do experience with this conpany

Mizraim_R, Jul 2026

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!

This was an amazing experience. Everyone on the crew were informative but also fun to be around. Safety was key too!

Swimming with sharks

Frank_S, Jul 2026

Swimming with the sharks in open water is much better than a caged experience. Even though it was a windy day and the water was choppy, the boat ride out to the dive sites were enjoyable.

Beautiful mistake turns in to best day ever!

Amy_G, Jul 2026

We had an absolutely amazing experience. We accidentally thought we had booked a cage diving tour, so you can imagine our surprise when we learned we were doing an open water shark dive!! But the all female crew was encouraging and let us know we would have the best experience ever. Our family of 8 (ages 14-70+) had so much fun on this trip, and everyone was amazing. We saw beautiful sharks and had a great time. We will definitely be booking again the next time we are in Oahu.

This was so much fun!...

Andrea_S, Jun 2026

This was so much fun! While I dove with sharks in the past, this was a great experience for my 18 and 11 year old boys. We would do it again!

Sickest experience EVER !!

Mya_A, Apr 2026

The whole thing was so well explained and made it so comfortable for any arising nerves. I love sharks and we got so lucky the day was beautiful and they were happily coming up to the boat when we got to the spot. It felt like plenty of time to see them and enough time to get comfortable enough to start swimming alongside them. Highly recommend, definitely coming again just to do this. Highlight of my life as a die hard shark lover! Stay safe and enjoy Hawaii !!

Lots of sharks and just 7 people on the boat, so it's perfect. Friendly crew, fun boat ride. The stay in the water could have been a bit longer.

Snorkeling with sharks

Janelle_O, Oct 2025

Amazing experience start to finish! So glad I got to experience this. The crew were super nice, professional and knowledgeable. I felt safe the entire time. Seeing the sharks gracefully swim around us was such a cool experience. Even the boat ride out was fun and they gave us plenty of time in the water.

Unbelievable!

Cortney_G, Oct 2025

Amazing experience! The boat ride was a thrilling and smooth excursion in itself. We swam with 12 or more sharks. Very peaceful and once in a lifetime experience. We were also very lucky to enjoy viewing many pods of spinner dolphins. Incredible!

We originally booked a caged shark dive but switched to open water last minute, and I’m so glad we did. I got pretty seasick, but overall it was still an awesome experience, the sharks were adorable!

April_M, Apr 2025

This was so much fun! We are a beginner and intermediate snorkel experienced couple. Captain Lily was fantastic and her crew as well. They were very professional and we felt safe the whole time. Once in a lifetime (until you book again ;) ) experience. Definitely worth it!

So epic

Ethan_P, Apr 2025

It was so epic. All of the workers on the boat were so nice and fun. They were also very knowledgable. I'm sure they get a little tired of having to deal with all sorts of people all day but they did a great job at making sure our experience was great. The boat ride was fun, the sharks were super cool, I would do this again several times.
