Cultural Experiences
Hawaii Shark Encounters gives you the opportunity to experience the thrill of meeting sharks face to face in the pristine waters of Oahu. We take you three miles offshore, where you can observe Galapagos and Sandbar sharks in their natural environment from the safety of a floating cage. No scuba experience is necessary -- you enter the cage from above and stay on the surface using a mask and snorkel. Large polyglass windows let you peer into the open ocean and watch the sharks as they glide gracefully through the deep blue. More than just an adventure, this educational tour takes you into a world that few can ever experience -- the open ocean world of sharks. Contact us today to book your encounter!

Surfing Lessons
Aloha, my name is Isaiah Moniz! Born and raised surfing in Waikiki, I fell in love with the ocean at a young age. Waikiki Beach is where I was taught to always have fun, but also where I learned to love and respect the ocean along with everyone I encounter. Surfing has taken me all over the world, but I always find myself returning back to where my surfing started, Waikiki Beach. As a second generation Waikiki Beach Boy, I now have the privilege to share my love of the ocean to people from all over the globe. Join me for a lesson and experience first-hand why Hawaii is the "Aloha State."
