Experience O’ahu Shark Diving Tours on the North Shore!
As the North Shore’s only shark cage diving experience owned and operated by Native Hawaiians, Haleiwa Shark Tours is the most authentic adventure available. Shark cage diving is truly a unique and exhilarating experience that is central to our Native culture!
The sacred and culturally significant mano (shark) is a powerful apex predator that we want to share with visitors and locals alike. Hawai‘i is home to approximately 40 different shark species, all which serve as caretakers of the ocean by removing sick, injured, and deceased animals, thus maintaining a balanced ecosystem.
Not only are sharks essential players in healthy marine life populations, but they are also ‘aumākua to many Hawaiians — a family god, a deified ancestor reborn in shark form. There are many beautiful legends in our Hawaiian history of sharks acting as spiritual counselors, protecting family members from drowning, or aiding in food supply for fishing families. They’re even a central figure in the Hawaiian Islands’ creation story.

Discover our Hawaiian Heritage
What sets Haleiwa Shark Tours apart is our deep connection to Hawaii and our unparalleled knowledge of its waters. We are Native Hawaiians who were born and raised on the islands and invite you to experience our culture. Owner Kala Alexander was born 55 years ago at Wahiawa General Hospital, and his business partner, Makua Rothman, was born 40 years ago at Kapi’olani Hospital. They are lifelong fishermen, watermen, and surfers, with a passion for the ocean that runs in their blood. Kala’s ancestors were the original human inhabitants of Hawai’i, and his family’s guardian, or Aumakua, is the Tiger Shark.
