What To Expect

You’ll snorkel in a secure aluminum cage about three miles off the North Shore, where you can see Galapagos and Sandbar sharks clearly in their natural habitat. The cage floats at the surface, so you don’t need to swim—just hold on to the bars and watch the sharks up close. All snorkel gear is provided, and trained crew members are there to ensure your safety and answer any questions.
