Do I need experience with scuba diving or snorkeling to go inside the shark cage?
No! You only need to be able to climb down a short ladder and hang onto a handrail.
An Amazing Thrill
Make your Haleʻiwa experience unforgettable with our cage diving with sharks tour! Owned and operated by Native Hawaiʻians, we are the only cage diving experience on Oʻahu’s North Shore. Our daily tours can accommodate up to six people, but if you just want to ride along, we offer rider rates too.
Discover the story of the shark God Kamohoali`i and how sharks were once revered and used for traditional purposes, like music and weapon-making.
As proud Hawaiʻians, we're excited to share this important part of our culture with you. Join us for a diving experience you'll cherish for a lifetime!

Haleʻiwa Shark Cage Snorkel Features
Fun for the whole family
This is an adventure your whole family can enjoy. Kids as young as 3 can get in the water with an adult – or they can enjoy the view from the boat! No snorkeling experience needed, and our experts will help everyone get comfortable in the water. If one of your party isn’t comfortable getting in the water, they can come along just for the ride – and to capture some amazing pictures.
Create memories to last a lifetime
Bring your own waterproof camera or rent one of ours. We even have Go Pros available to capture all the action! Rather than just spending your days at one of Hawaiʻi’s beautiful resorts, you’ll go home with some cool stories to share and the swag to prove it. Bragging rights for the whole family!
Learn Hawaiʻian shark history and culture
In Hawaiʻian religion, Kamohoaliʻi is a shark god and a brother of Kāne Milohaʻi, Pele, Kapo, Nāmaka, and Hiʻiaka. Kamohoaliʻi swam in the area around the islands of Maui and Kahoʻolawe. To Hawaiʻians, mano (Sharks) are considered ʻaumakua (family or personal gods.) Often, a departed ancestor took the form of a shark after death and appeared in dreams to living relatives. Meet this important symbol of Hawaiʻian culture on a diving experience you’re sure to remember for a lifetime.
