America · SHARK ENCOUNTERS
The good shark encounters tours fill up early and the best go first. Below: the 5 to book ahead, what each includes and how they differ.
See dolphins, turtles and stingrays from a Key West eco-catamaran, then watch bait draw sharks to the boat for photos in 2 hours.
“The Captain and crew did a great job of coaxing the sharks out on a cold day. Got great photos and videos. We also saw dolphins at another location and again got got photos and a great overall experience. Highly recommend!”
Oahu North Shore shark cage tour with a pro crew, possible turtles and humpback whales, and close shark viewing from inside the cage.
“My husband and I decided to do this excursion the day before (since it wasn’t a busy season). We were blown away how many sharks we got to see fun and easy it was! We also saw whales on the way out which was a nice bonus. The crew was friendly and made us feel confident. Make sure you allow plenty of time to get to the dock from Waikiki.”
Shark cage swim on Oahu North Shore from Haleiwa, 90 minutes on a boat, safe close-up sharks, and possible whales or dolphins.
“This excursion was the perfect adrenaline rush and we saw about 10 sharks circle around the cage the entire time. The water was very rocky and made me nervous at times but i can say it is a safe activity and the crew helped reassure me that everything was okay😅 I would definitely do this again and seeing sharks face to face was such a breathtaking experience. Absolutely worth the price!! We went and had lunch at Joes right after and that paired very well making it an enjoyable afternoon.”
Oahu North Shore shark cage encounter with Galapagos and sandbar sharks, snorkel windows, small groups, and possible whale sightings.
“It was great and so much fun. The boat and crew were great and very confident. The trip to the site was 3 miles offshore and beautiful. The actual cage was easy to use and provided a superb view of many sharks. We had plenty of time in the cage to enjoy the wildlife.”
Walk into Mandalay Bay’s Shark Reef for 360-degree tunnel views, a shipwreck exhibit, a hands-on touch pool, plus included VR.
“The shark reef was very beautiful and a wonderful and affordable activity to do while here in Las Vegas. The hotel area that it’s in also has a few other things to take part in so explore once you are done with the Reef ( everything is inside)!”
Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
