Shark Encounters Tour

Aloha!  My time in Hawaii has come to an end :-(  For our last tour, I was up for something a tad exciting and something I would remember for years to come.  The choice was between swimming with dolphins or swimming with sharks.  After much deliberation and convincing my travel buddies, the sharks won.   We left the Haleiwa small boat harbour on the North Shore and headed out about 3 miles.  Once the metal cage was attached to the side of the boat, you were allowed into the cage wearing snorkel gear.  We were the second group to go into the waters so we got a good glimsp of the Galapagos and Sandbar sharks swimming around and under the boat beforehand.  By the time we got into the water, it was fairly choppy, but we got to see about 6 sharks.  The closest came about 1 foot away from the cage.  How excitment!  The shark encounter wasn't at all scary and you felt very safe in the cage.  I will do another shark tour for sure, but maybe next time with some more dangerous sharks like the Great White. 

  

Aloha from Hawaii,
