My family and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour! The staff was exceptionally welcoming, and the live music on the boat created a fun and relaxing atmosphere on the way to our destination. The location was beautiful, and our children especially loved the snorkeling and paddle boarding activities.
Although we brought our own snorkeling gear, we were impressed that the tour provides everything you need—snorkeling masks, lifejackets, and more—which makes it incredibly convenient. You really don’t need to haul your own equipment.
This experience was truly the highlight of our trip. We highly recommend it for all ages—for reference, our children are 6 and 7 years old.
Totally enjoyed or outing on August 1st. The crew was professional and extremely friendly. The music was great also.
This was one of our favorite activities in Hawaii! The expert crew was awesome, friendly, and very helpful. We will definitely book this tour again on our next trip to O'ahu!
Jenny was very patient and kind with my 10 year old who had anxiety. This was a good beginner snorkel lesson!
The crew was amazing and the sandbar was a cool experience. A fun way to spend an afternoon!
My wife & I took our 3 daughters (17, 13, 9) on this excursion and it was amazing. The music was great, and the crew was awesome. Our youngest got a little chilly at times, but plenty of space to chill right off the back of the boat. Snorkeling, paddle boarding, kayaking, etc. lots of fun.
A Japanese-speaking guide accompanied us throughout the entire tour and provided very attentive support, which made the experience extremely comfortable and reassuring.
Because there were only a few participants on that day, we were able to take our time at each location and enjoy a relaxed pace.
From the volcano to the waterfall and black sand beach, the tour was packed with highlights, and I was thoroughly satisfied with the entire day.
Loved our family trip on the boat out to the sandbar. It was great fun, lots of wonderful music and many memories made with our family.
It was 8 of us and we all love it! If you like nature, you will enjoy this one. The movie scenarios, the ranch is like paradise. You could see Gods creation at its best!
Wear a sweater and pants.
We did several activities in Hawaii but if I had to choose one as my favorite, it would be this one. You get to do a little bit of everything, it’s like the whole Hawaii experience. This is great family tour. I loved it so much! Plus the buffet dinner is included which was amazing! The night show for me was the best part. I can’t describe how much I loved it!
Wear comfy shoes, wear a light sweater and take some sunglasses!
My family and I had the best experience, the ranch is amazingly beautiful! We felt like we were in the King Kong movie haha. The ride was super fun. Would definitely recommend this!
This was in May, wear jeans and a light sweater. I got sick, the wind was freezing cold.
We had an amazing experience, saw so many sea turtles. Our guide was great and he gave us tips and locations to visit on our trip. This is a phenomenal experience and I would highly recommend again!
The sandbar experience was amazing. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. They had food for us to feed the fish. I recommend booking the banana boat ride. The live music was so cool. We did snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding. My daughter has not stopped talking about it. It has been her favorite excursion this trip.
Tip the staff. They deserve it.
The staff was so friendly. From check in to being out in the ocean.
Always checking in on us when we were in the water.
Staff was in great spirits. Love the live music.
Your team went above and beyond when my family and I were a few minutes late.
The boat left us but one of your staff members stay behind to take us in and give us a ride to the main boat.
I felt like a VIP.
Thank you.
Staff was amazing friendly and made sure our family of 5 had one of their favorite days in Hawaii….. If we had more time would have gone back again.
I’m writing this review to emphasize how great the workers of this cruise are. Great atmosphere, the banana boat was extremely fun, and the driver was a joy. We also got to do some snorkeling, seeing some beautiful fish. My main point of this review is to talk about how amazing the crew was when hit with a massive change. As we were enjoying our time, it got caught short due to a Tsunami warning. Every crew member was fantastic with this, making everyone feel safe and less nervous. It’s a really great time, just pray that you don’t unexpectedly get a tsunami warning!
Captain Bob’s Sandbar Snorkeling Tour was hands down one of the highlights of our trip to Oahu! From start to finish, the experience was unforgettable. The crew was absolutely amazing—friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone was safe while still having a blast. They brought such a fun and laid-back energy to the whole day.
The sandbar was stunning, with crystal-clear water and plenty of time to explore, relax, and take photos. The snorkeling was also fantastic—we saw colorful fish and even a sea turtle!
And let me tell you about the food! The BBQ lunch was delicious, fresh, and just what we needed after swimming and snorkeling. Everything was well-organized and the atmosphere on the boat was so much fun.
I highly, highly recommend this tour if you’re visiting Oahu. Whether you’re with family, friends, or traveling solo, this is an experience you don’t want to miss. Mahalo to Captain Bob’s crew for an amazing day!
This excursion was absolutely incredible! We got to hang out on the Kaneohe sandbar for a while. Some people played volleyball, some swam and tested out snorkel gear. We go to just relax and enjoy this amazing location. There were sea turtles and rays when we first got there. The crew grilled up some yummy burgers while we played. We then got back on the boat looking for green sea turtles. So many! We snorkeled around a reef and saw so many incredible fish. This was one of my favorite adventures that we did in Oahu and could not have been in a more beautiful location.
Had an excellent time! The pick-up was on time and very comfortable. While waiting for the lesson, I was able to relax in a lounge with juice and soda to drink. The pilot, Riki, was very good, explaining things clearly, and attentive. Had a fun time actually flying the plane, and, on the other hand, enjoying the wonderful scenery.
Don't forget sunglasses!
We were really lucky with our tour because Kilauea started erupting in the morning of our tour day and we had a helicopter tour at 9:00 AM. We were able to see unbelievable sights from the helicopter as we were flying over the caldera.
The downside of it was that everyone else also knew about the eruption and wanted to get to the volcano park so we were stuck in the traffic for hours with others queuing to get into the park. This affected slightly the schedule of our tour, but we still managed to see the main things, and as I had visited the park before, it didn't matter so much to me. The thing I hoped and expected from the tour most was seeing lava spouting up in the air, and that came true!
Just as a reminder, you don't always get to see lava flowing, but the sights overall are still amazing and definitely worth the trip.
小学1、3年の子供と体験しました。
2人とも最初は怖がっていましたが、最終的にはすごく楽しんで、またやりたいと言っていました。
係員の人も、とても雰囲気よくて、盛り上がりました。パラセーリング前の船でのクルージングも気持ちよかったです。
また体験したいと思います。
写真はかなりこまめに撮ってくれて、データもその場でくれますし、購入おすすめです。
Well organized, pleasure experience, big boat, lots of provided activities. Very good.
No rinse off the salt in the end
Fantastic experience! Delivered on everything during this trip! Kids had a blast and we saw turtles, dolphins, octopus, and many fish. Would do it every time that I am here!
We had the most amazing time was so much fun. Struggling was great. The sandbar was relaxing. They were able to paddle boat too. The crew was incredibly nice and helpful.
Surprised my wife with a Lei greeting and it was spectacular
We enjoy the activity......................................
If you’re debating on booking this, don’t—— Just DO It! My son and I had the best time with breathtaking view. Our tour guides were knowledgeable on the history and they were amazing photographers as well. Definitely take them up on their offer to take pictures of you and or the family.
Book the tour. You won’t be disappointed!
The whole staff was so friendly and was so helpful for first timers. It was high tide and we did snorkeling first, the kids loved it learning for the first time. I tried paddle boarding and it was hard for me but still fun. The kids did the banana boat and it was fast and my three year old granddaughter had to ride on the boat instead, but she still had a blast. The band played Island music and it was perfect. We were there at the sandbar for three hours and it was exhausting but still fun. We would love to come here again next year.
Bring sunblock lotion instead of sunblock spray
Totally recommend you do it. Yes hard work but worth it at the end.
We had a blast with these experienced folks on the boat! They made sure we were safe and had everything we needed. 10/10 would recommend this place to anyone who wants some fun in the sun on a boat!
