Welcome to paradise on Earth, Hawaii. Emerald seas, relaxing beaches, delicious food… these are the reasons we love Hawaii. But beyond this peaceful scenery, did you know there lies a thrilling adventure that will make your heart beat faster than ever before?

Have you ever imagined swimming with massive sharks, an experience you've only seen in movies? It might send a shiver down your spine, but at the same time, it sparks an undeniable curiosity. Today, we introduce the one experience that will make your Hawaii trip unforgettable: the Hawaii North Shore Shark Cage Tour.


"But... Is It Safe?"

This is likely the first question everyone thinks of. WAUG will answer it directly for you. Yes, it is 100% safe! The shark cage tour is about enjoying the thrill, but it never compromises on safety.

A Strong, Specially-Made Cage:
You will observe the sharks from inside a highly durable, specially-made marine aluminum cage that sharks absolutely cannot enter. The cage floats on the surface, allowing you to comfortably view the sharks up close.

With Experienced Professionals:
Veteran captains and crews with decades of experience accompany you, ensuring the entire process is managed safely.

Respectful, Natural Observation:
This is not a provocative tour that lures sharks with bait or involves touching them. It is an eco-tour where we temporarily "visit" the sharks' natural habitat to observe them with respect.


How Does the Tour Work? 

1. Head to the North Shore, Hawaii's True Surf Mecca!
The tour begins at Haleiwa Harbor on the North Shore, a place with a free-spirited soul and powerful waves, offering a different vibe from the energy of Waikiki. The drive itself is a series of picturesque landscapes.

2. Into the Blue Sea, In Search of Sharks!
You'll head out into the blue Pacific on a boat for about 15-20 minutes, feeling the refreshing sea breeze. The view of Oahu's coastline from the boat offers a beautiful scene in its own right.

3. A Deep Breath, and a Wondrous Encounter
Once at the spot, it's time to get in the water! You don't need a scuba diving license at all. Just put on a snorkel mask, get inside the cage, and hold onto the handles—you're ready! A moment later, your heart will pound as dark shadows begin to appear beneath the surface. The graceful movements of the sharks swimming freely, their overwhelming presence as you face them at what feels like an arm's length away—it all transcends fear and becomes a sense of awe.


WAUG's Tip: How to Enjoy the Shark Tour 200%

Motion Sickness Medicine is a Must, Not an Option!
The waves on the North Shore can be rough, and the boat can rock significantly. Even if you don't normally get seasick, we strongly recommend taking medicine 30-60 minutes before boarding.

An Underwater Camera is Your Best Friend for a Lifelong Shot:
You can't miss this thrilling moment. Be sure to bring an underwater camera like a GoPro to capture a once-in-a-lifetime photo with the sharks.

Morning Tours Are the Way to Go!
Oahu's weather is typically more stable in the morning with calmer waves. It's also the perfect way to plan your day, as you can have lunch at one of the North Shore's famous shrimp trucks and explore other beaches after the tour.

It's time to meet the true rulers of Hawaii's blue seas. This will be the most intense story you'll tell long after your trip is over, and the best experience to check off the very top of your travel bucket list.
