Offered by Haleiwa Shark Tours and owned by Native Hawaiians Kala Alexander and Makua Rothman, this 2-hour cage-diving adventure is the North Shore’s only authentic shark experience. Hawaii is home to about 40 shark species, vital to ocean health and Hawaiian culture.
Learn about the sacred mano shark, regarded as a family god and spiritual protector in Hawaiian tradition. The tour includes stories of shark legends and the shark god Kamohoali`i as you motor three miles out from Haleiwa.
Discover how ancient Hawaiians used every part of the shark in cultural ceremonies and weaponry, preserving its mana (energy). This experience combines marine education with cultural heritage for visitors and locals alike.
Aloha and welcome aboard! — Kala & Makua
