Shark Dive
Haleiwa Shark Tours takes guests out from Haleiwa Harbor by boat to experience cage diving with sharks in open water off the North Shore of Oahu. The tour is owned and operated by Native Hawaiians Kala Alexander and Makua Rothman, and the experience is grounded in Hawaiian cultural tradition alongside the encounter itself. During the trip, guides share the cultural significance of mano, the Hawaiian word for shark. In Hawaiian tradition, sharks are 'aumakua, considered family gods or deified ancestors. Guides explain the role of the shark god Kamohoali'i and describe how sharks were used in ancient times, from their skin being crafted into drums for ceremony to their teeth becoming traditional weapons, with nothing wasted and the mana, or energy, living on. Participants need to be confident swimmers, and the activity is rated moderate in physical intensity. This tour is not suitable for pregnant participants. No transport to the departure point is provided, so guests make their own way to Haleiwa Harbor. Gratuity, meals and transport are not included in the booking.
