The tour guides were very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. They treated us like “ohana” family. There were not many sharks due to tiger shark season so they gave us a free 3 hour coastal cruise for another day which was nice of them. Going out of their way to give us a great time when it’s not their fault Mother Nature was shy that morning. But we look forward to the evening coastal cruise.

This was the most exhilarating experience ever. The crew was absolutely amazing; they were fun, very knowledgeable (their passion for sharks, the ocean, and Hawaii radiated), and safe. A couple of us were very nervous at first but they educated us and was there with us making accommodations to those who needed it. Very accommodating and inclusive (they make sure everyone has the best possible experience). Many Mahalos to them! I feel more empowered to look all “sharks” in the eyes and firmly hold my ground (with a smile in remembrance of this experience)! Can’t wait to come back to Hawaii and do it again!

The crew was very welcoming and made us feel very safe with acknowledging that they had done this a million times. Saw 4 sharks right when we got into water and then the last 10 minutes was just chilling in the water but the crew still made it enjoyable. Most of the time was spent riding in the boat but the crew was very cautious and took care of the members that needed it

Love, love, loved this experience! My husband was skeptical of the whole getting in the water with sharks thing prior to this. When we got done, he said he’d do it again! The crew was amazing and made this a memorable experience. You can’t use a Go-Pro because they want your hand to be free(totally understandable)

Incredible experience!!

SUCH a fun experience!! Perfect for doing something out for the normal touristy things such as snorkeling or cage diving. The crew was group of young folks (family run company) who were hilarious and easy-going and made us feel at ease and totally comfortable during the whole experience. Felt more like a family outing than a "tourist" experience. We saw 3 Galapagos sharks, one as close as about 5-6ft away which was INSANE! The crew takes care of pictures and videos and airdrops them to you for free at the end of your trip so you can just focus on the 30 min you have in the water with these beautiful creatures. I was a little bummed that there were no photos of me with the sharks, but c'est la vie! My mom got some great group and solo shots of her with sharks though! The only tricky thing was locating the boat at the docks as there aren't any clear signs for where the diving company is located. You'll want to keep an eye out for the black and white Island View Hawaii logo on the side of their boat, which is normally on the left side of the dock of the small boat area. Park near the beach bathrooms for best location. Overall I'd 100% do it again and suggest it to anyone who wants to face a Hollywood created fear and see/ experience the wonders of sharks up-close and personal!

The team at IslandView Hawai'i are so friendly and knowledgeable. Each dive is unique and special in their own way. This is the second dive we have done with them and it was just as amazing as the first time. Definitely a spiritual experience sharing the water with such ancient animals.
