About this experience

For the thrill-seekers! We will travel three miles off of the North Shore of Oahu to find Hawaiiʼs famous Manō (shark). Surrounded by clear blue abyss, guests will have the opportunity to swim alongside this pelagic predator, with the guidance of a Professionally trained Shark Handler. The crew will provide guests with information on shark biology and behavior, as well as safety guidelines for snorkeling and free diving. The most common resident shark species include Galapagos, Sandbar, and Tiger sharks. However, being in a pelagic (deep-water) zone allows the possibility.
A Professional Underwater Photographer will be available to capture your unique experiences in High Quality photos and videos for an additional fee. This is a bucket list item and having this memory documented will always be a great to look back on. Digital files will be sent to you a few days after your tour date. We hope to see you out on the water soon!

Stop 3 Pass by

Waimea Bay sits on the legendary North Shore of Oahu, where the ocean meets the island with power and grace. In the winter, it’s a world-famous surf spot, known for massive waves and expert riders testing their limits. In the summer, the water calms to a glassy, turquoise pool perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and cliff jumping. The surrounding cliffs and golden sand give the bay a dramatic, almost sacred feeling. It's part of a larger cultural landscape, where Hawaiian history and nature still speak. Nearby, Waimea Valley offers a short hike through botanical gardens to a waterfall, adding another layer to the experience. Whether you’re drawn by the thrill or the quiet beauty, Waimea has a way of leaving a mark.

Puaʻena Point Beach Park is a laid-back spot just east of Haleʻiwa on Oʻahu’s North Shore. It’s a favorite among surf schools and beginners, thanks to its mellow waves and forgiving reef breaks . The beach is tucked behind a grove of ironwood and palm trees, offering natural shade and a quiet atmosphere.
The shoreline is a mix of sand and lava rock, with tide pools along the edges. You might spot Hawaiian green sea turtles resting on the beach or grazing on the rocks . The water near shore is calm, making it easy to wade in or paddle out.
If you’re looking for a relaxed beach with a local feel and a good spot to learn to surf, Puaʻena Point is worth a visit.
