They educated us on the different types of plumeria flowers we were going to use, walk through a small garden of it to see other varieties, and then got to pick some for the Lei making. We had the option of sitting at picnic tables or on the grass. Most of my tour went for the grass. The only downside is there is a lot of bugs - it is a farm! And we went after a hurricane so maybe there were more. Wear some bug spray if mosquitos love you.

Booking the experience was extremely easy. We were rescheduled due to Hurricane Lala and they made that easy for us as well. Our outing was set for 6am so we arrived 30 minutes prior. There was ample parking and restrooms at the dock. We loaded up and were promptly out at 6am. The captain and first mate explained all the safety rules and where we were heading out to and the types of sharks we may see as well as stopping for dolphins. They took us out about 3 miles from the dock. Snorkeling equipment was provided if you do not have your own. They also offer to film your dive for you for an extra $75. The videos are given to you to add to your phone as soon as you are heading back too. You are able to walk around the boat at one point to take photos and if you are feeling seasick they do explain what you can do going and coming back. We were down in the cage for a good 20 minutes and then we made the trip back. At the dock you can purchase additional souvenir shirts and hats. All in all this experience was so amazing and would love to go again.

No big deal, but we wish they could have at least told us since we had to show up 30 minutes early, we were standing around for almost an hour with no real communication about them being late. Because they were late to pick us up, they seemed a little rushed, telling us we needed to make sure we were quick and rushing us into the water. I get that they were behind but it wasn't our fault. The water was very, very rough. Which is not the boat's fault either, but just a warning to others. I have heard sometimes it's super calm so I am sure it's likely time of year, but when we went it was bad. Almost every single person got seasick. Also, when you go in the cage, it's almost worse for the seasickness. You are getting tossed around badly inside that thing. We actually had to hold on pretty hard. We were given some cool facts about the sharks and the waters, but it was like 5 minutes worth. We wish they would have talked with us a little bit more. Also, they were very thorough with instructions regarding safety of the cage, which is great. They gave no instructions about the mask and snorkel. I guess they just assumed everyone understood, but we had one guy get in the water and asked how to use the snorkel. I guess overall, when compared to other boat tours we had went on in Hawai'i, this one just doesn't compare. They provide no drinks or snacks (which again is okay, but for the same cost on another boat we were given them). Seeing the sharks was super cool; I just don't know if it was worth it.

We lucked out with perfect wind, water, and sky conditions, which made the whole trip incredible. The ride out was 10-15 min? Getting into the water was easy. Water was great! Though there weren't many, we did manage to dive next to a Galapagos shark, a jellyfish, turtle, and eagle ray (this guy was in port tho). Lilly and the entire team were so helpful and accommodating the whole time. They were fantastic about answering all of our questions and really made the process of getting in and out of the boat less stressful. I will say: you will need to have decent strength to hoist yourself out of the water from a small solo step on the boat (they help but keep in mind for my fellow limited bodied folks). On windier conditions, you will have to be a decent swimmer, too. So those not familiar with the ocean, practice at like Waikiki or hanauma bay first. We had someone swallow water on our boat and we had calmer conditions, too. I honestly wish we could have been in the water for longer, but I'm just looking at it as a great excuse to book another trip and head out again! My favorite part was actually the ride back in: the crew picked up some speed and took some fun turns, which I really enjoyed. Everything was set up to be convenient, too. They provided all the snorkel gear, including flippers and masks, and there is a cubby under the seat to keep your items safe, dry, and out of the way. Parking is readily available, so you don't have to worry about that. Just a heads up on the media side of things: they do offer professional photo packages, which run about $80 to $100. You are allowed to bring your own GoPro, but they are pretty specific about which models you can bring due to concerns about radio wave interference, so it's worth double-checking with them beforehand. Overall, it was a fantastic day out on the water with a good crew.

We bought some soap bars and stuff We got to stamp the soap with a Turtle(honu) and Shaka It was fun. It was a nice experience in all.

First time visiting here and it's definitely a plus that all 3 places are in the same place and all walkable. Drive time is about a 40-50 minute drive with no freeway traffic. When you get on Goodale Avenue from Farmington Highway, you will reach an intersection where the opposite traffic stop is diagonally to your left and the road curves. Make a left there. Look for a small truck with signs and the entrance is the last one before the dirt road slants to the right. There's plenty of parking around. The North Shore Soap Factory is close to the main entrance. You can book a tour to see the factory up-close and learn how the soap is produced. There's a small boutique shop to find a huge assortment of different scented soaps that each has a unique color and/or design. $5.65 for each bar of soap, add $1 for a box. Buy 5 get 1 free. A fair price for local, handmade soap. Everything was nicely displayed and filled. Staff were friendly and nice. You can also stamp your soap! There are many stamps to choose from with Hawai'i theme imprints. It's DIY, so grab your mallet and give it 3 firm hits. Overall an interesting place to stop if you're in this area.

Five tiger sharks. FIVE…read more I spent the last month psyching myself up to maybe, hopefully, catch a glimpse of one tiger shark. We got five. I'm still not over it. What made this trip though wasn't just the sharks, it was the crew. Finn, Nika, Tyler, and Lochlan are the real deal. I've done plenty of excursions where the guides are clearly clocking in and counting down to the end of the shift. This was the opposite. When that fifth tiger came through, these four looked like kids in a candy shop. They were losing it right alongside us, because apparently five in one dive is extremely rare. You cannot fake that kind of enthusiasm, and it made the whole day about ten times better. They also know exactly what they're doing. Big animals, open water, and at no point did I feel anything but completely safe. The briefing was thorough, the in-water guidance was calm and clear, and it was obvious this crew has deep respect for the sharks and total command of the situation. That combination of expertise and genuine excitement is rare. Coolest experience of my life with the coolest crew on the water. If you're on the fence about booking with Deep Blue Eco Tours, get off the fence. Ask for Finn, Nika, Tyler, and Lochlan. Ten out of five stars.

Actually, we had originally only planned the snorkel, but it was such a great experience that we booked the shark swim for later in our trip so we could do both. For our snorkel we had an incredible experience seeing dozens of spinner dolphins bow riding our boat on our way out of the harbor - it was such an incredible experience! They took us out to a small rocky island out near Waimea Bay and we got to see lots of fish, coral, and follow a turtle for a little bit. Everyone in our party snorkeled, but our daughter was interested in also diving. Our guide Dallas was great with her - teaching her all the tips and tricks to help her dive down in her snorkel gear. He also retrieved some really pretty shells that he gave to us. The shark swim was really neat - I love that they offer the opportunity for a group to have some people who want to swim and others who want to stay dry on the boat. It's definitely rougher water but they knew exactly where to go and what to do to responsibly call for the sharks and we got to see a lot of them! Our daughter did the swim and had a great experience. The team was extremely skilled and did a great job ensuring a responsible and fun experience for all. We'd definitely recommend them for charters out of Haleiwa!
