On a shark tour, passengers can expect to see gray reef, Galapagos, sandbar and hammerhead sharks.

The early Hawaiians worshiped shark gods. The king shark god of O‘ahu is Kamohoali‘i, who is said to reside in an underwater cave near Pearl Harbor.

There are several companies on O‘ahu that are in the business of providing that experience. Tours depart daily from Hale‘iwa Harbor on the island’s North Shore.
