Duration: 2 hours; $93. Being locked in a cage and lowered underwater, in most cases, is a horrible fate. This is the rare exception. At Hawaii Shark Encounters, the cage helps people discover the beauty and importance of sharks. But there's no pressure to do anything you're not comfortable with. You can stay on the boat while your friends or family wet their jumpsuits. You'll pay a discounted price, and still get a nice, relaxing boat ride out of it. And you WILL be able to see the sharks, just not as intimately as you would otherwise. You can still walk away with a newfound appreciation for the beauty and majesty of the animals. With the rapid decline of the shark population due to human activity, its more important than ever that we learn to appreciate these creatures for all they do for the island's ecosystems.
