想像していたシュノーケリングとは違い、60分程度泳ぎっぱなしでした。
良いポイントへ導いてくれて、水中写真も撮れました。
常に両手が使える状態でなければ厳しいツアーなので、スマホでの撮影は避けた方が良いです。持っていくべきではありません。
途中ウミガメも見られて、想像以上です。
最大5名の少人数…は、インストラクター1名あたりの人数だと感じましたが、特に不具合は無いと思います。

The staff is super friendly and helpful when checking in. They give you all the necessary info and tips to ensure your time is well spent. All the equipment was in good condition. Definitely recommend self-guided tour if you are able since it is much more affordable than a guided tour. Thank you!

クルー達が一生懸命客を楽しませようとしてくれてるのがわかった。
サンドバーでのバレーボールも゙ウミガメウォッチングも楽しかった。(10匹以上見られた。)女性キャプテンの焼いてくれたハンバーグのハンバーガーも美味しかった。日本人のクルーの説明も簡潔でわかりやすかった。
最後の珊瑚礁でのシュノーケルでは、たっくさんの魚を見ることができた。ドラゴンフィッシュが他の熱帯魚を猛スピードで追いかけてるのも゙見た!
私にとっての唯一の難点は寒かったこと。海からあがると寒いとは聞いてたので、予備のバスタオルとか上着とかを用意して行ったが、水の中も結構寒くてガタガタ震えてしまった。海からあがらないで、水の中でもっと動いてたら、マシだったかも。時々曇ったりする天気と11月という季節を考えたら、仕方ないかと思う。
でも、初めてのハワイの海で素敵な時間を過ごすことができた。クルーの皆さん、ありがとう!

Awesome tour! We didn’t get to snorkel due to the weather and the waves but they totally made up for it by taking us to great swimming spots and beautiful views. We saw dolphins and turtles and the crew was so serving and kind :) 10/10 would recommend!

The staff was very friendly. However, the price of the ticket did NOT match the value of the experience.
The inside of the boat is in poor condition (holes in the ceiling tiles, visible mold, peeling paint, an overall unpleasant smell, etc.) The life jackets are old and mildewy, and the snorkeling gear should probably be upgraded.
The lunch (included in the ticket price, not free) consisted of a sandwich with 1 slice of dollar store quality lunch meat cut in half (it was supposed to be turkey but looked like bologna), pineapple slices, a few pieces of lettuce as salad, and an optional bag of chips. Your beverage options were either powder juice mix or water. Hot tea was served at the end.
For those expecting a bar when looking at the ticket price, NO alcohol is served. This seemed out of the ordinary compared to the other boat excursions I’ve been on, and the other guests were also surprised by this.
The live music was great until they started playing Christmas songs that could have passed for lullabies halfway into the trip. People were literally falling asleep. Since the weather wasn’t great (*not anyone’s fault*), it would’ve been nice if they played more upbeat tunes. Perhaps the majority of our ticket price goes to the live music fee since everything else was extremely lacking.
All the reviews I read and pictures I viewed before booking were great, and now they seem dishonest/misleading. Due to the nature of the issues I found (boat conditions, equipment conditions, and quality of food), I do not think my experience is unique or this was an “off” day.
Again, the staff was very friendly, and I do NOT place any blame on them. However, their friendless did not make up for the deficiencies I explained above.

This was an awesome snorkel experience! We loved the smaller group and the fact that it wasn’t jam packed on the smaller boat. You have plenty of time and space at both locations to check out the reefs, fish, turtles! Ryan and Esteban were certainly among the best tour leaders I’ve ever had. They were very helpful, knowledgeable, but also relaxed. If you are experienced, you are free to be on your way and if you need extra assistance they are there too. Overall, definitely recommend booking this experience!

大きな船でポイントに向かう途中もウクレレの生演奏もあり、飲み物や昼食のサービスもありとても快適だった。カヌーやsap体験も楽しくシュノーケリングも道具も全て用意してあり手ぶらで楽しめる。
私が行った日は天気が悪く雨混じりで日が差さず寒くて、時間いっぱいまで海に入って居る人が少なかったが、船に上がってもウクレレ演奏で楽しませてくれるので、このサービスを選んで満足です。冷えた体を温めるあったかい飲み物のサービスも心に染みました。
天気が良ければこの世ならぬ美しい景色を堪能出来たとは思うがこればかりは運次第。
一つ不満があるとすれば港の駐車場がそんなに広くないので、私はたまたまうまく空いたところに止められたが、止めるスペースがなければレンタカーできた人は困ると思う。

サーフィンできるほど波が高くて、海の中は白く濁っていて一匹も魚が見れませんでした。風が強いので寒くてビーチにもいるのもきつかったです。
ツアー代と入場料で約13000円かけてシュノーケルしに行っているので、海がこんなコンディションの日は催行しないかキャンセルを選択できるようにしてほしいです。本当にガッカリでした。

Captain and crew made this trip very enjoyable. The ship was top notch and fun to sail on.
Swimming with the turtles was a blast and the sailing around Waikiki afterwards made for a super fun trip. Definitely will be back!

ピックアップのバスが中々来なくて少し不安になりました。時間を過ぎて現れた案内人が案内してくれたバスは20分以上前から離れたところに停まっていたため、案内人が遅れていたのかな?帰りのバスもすこし待たされたため、ツアーは良かったけどバスがちょっとイマイチだったかな。
ツアーは日本語で案内もしてくれるし、小さい子どもにもたくさん声をかけてくれて楽しく参加することができました!サンドバーは腰から胸くらいの深さで、11ヶ月の子どもも浮き輪で初めての海デビューをすることができました。船上でのハンバーガーもとても美味しかったし、ウミガメも船から何匹も泳いでいるところがみえました!シュノーケリングポイントは思ったより広くて、夫は一周まわってきましたが、私は怖かったので近くでシュノーケリングを楽しみましたが、それでもたくさんの魚やサンゴを見ることができました。シュノーケリングの仕方も優しく教えてくれるし、泳ぎが得意でなければ、浮具も貸してもらえていました。
天気も良かったので、ハワイのきれいな景色も堪能して、一日充実して過ごすことができました。

シュノーケリング・サンドバー体験はとても楽しかったですし、ランチもとても美味しかったです。午前のツアーで満ち潮でした。サンドバーは腰ぐらいまで水があり残念でしたが、天気は良かったので満足です。

I really enjoyed the friendly people whoever was leading the tour and also the live music, it was fabulous! But I would have to say , they didn’t do good for the safety part… I got injured from the snorkeling because it was my first time ever, I definitely lacked of knowledge about how to snorkel safely, and no one was giving instructions about how to stay safe in the ocean. I got injured from accidentally hitting the coral, I never know the coral can be that close to people (I never had ocean experience). I also was not the only person that was injured, another strong man, he was attacked by jellyfish. Hopefully they can do better for the safety instructions.

Our experience with Captain Robin, Kay, and Sydney was absolutely amazing! Captain Bruce Kaneohe Sandbar Cruise is a must! My husband and I loved everything about the experience…friendly, knowledgeable, hands on staff who truly gave each of the participants support and care. This was my first time to snorkel and Captain Robin stayed by my side until I was ready to snorkel without any assistance. There was time to paddle-board and float. It was a wonderful experience and exceeded our expectations.
Leah and Jeff from Indiana, Mahalo
Thank you so much for joining our tour, and for sharing your incredible experience with our captain and crew!
Your heartfelt words about your first snorkeling adventure with our captain and crew are truly heartwarming and it's a privilege to know that we exceeded your expectations.
Please join us again to rediscover the beauty of the Kaneohe Bay again. Mahalo and A hui hou

The crew were THE BEST! They were all so lively, energetic, sweet, caring and considerate. One even individually assisted my Mom snorkeling and guided her til the end. I love this tour and will definitely be back 100%. Thank you guys for a wonderful time.

The whole crew were so kind and took care of everyone immediately. They checked in on everyone when we were all in the ocean. I went during a solo trip and it was definitely a highlight! Also drank 2 delicious mai tais on the way back. Saw two big turtles and the most beautiful fish all around! Defs book this whether solo or with your own crew!

Just the perfect amount of time at the sandbar. There’s a platform if you don’t want to be in the water. There’s canoes and stand up paddle boards.
It was a fun experience over all.
Also included was snorkeling.

とても貴重な体験ができました!
インストラクターさんはとても優しく、安全に配慮しながら案内をしてくださいました。
朝5時からの参加で水は冷たかったのですが、スイムスーツを事前に予約し、お借りしたので、長時間のシュノーケリングでも大丈夫でした。
参加日当日は風が少なく、ウミガメを4匹も間近で見ることができました!その他にも、ハナウマ湾でしか見ることのできない海の生物をたくさん見ることができて、本当に感動しました。
1点のみ注意点を挙げるとするならば、三半規管の弱い方は波酔いの可能性が高いです。強めの酔い止めをあらかじめ飲んでおくことをオススメします!!私は元々弱い方で、トラベ◯ミンを飲んでから参加しましたがガッツリ波酔いしました。
総合的には一生の思い出に残る経験ができました。インストラクターの方々、本当にありがとうございました。

初めてのシュノーケリングで、泳ぎもそんなに自信ない感じでしたが、問題なく習得できました。大きなウツボもいて、初めての海の中の世界は素晴らしい体験でした。感動して夢中で泳いで、少し疲れてきたかな?と気づいたころに丁度一周がおわり、そんなに体力ない方でも楽しめると思います。ガイドさんも、無理にテンション上げさせる感じでなく、親切でリラックスした感じの方で気持ちよく過ごせました。ありがとうございました。

7時半集合でしたが、乗船&出港は8時頃だったでしょうか。
日本人スタッフのカナさんが、とてもきめ細やかに声をかけてくれて終始安心してツアーに参加できました。
風が強くてモロキニ島ではシュノーケル1時間の予定だったそうですが、30分程度で切り上げて次のコーラルガーデンのポイントへ移動。
モロキニ島周辺でイルカの群れに遭遇して感動(^_^)
コーラルガーデンは想像以上に珊瑚やお魚が多くて、ウミガメにも逢えました。
朝食サービス、昼食のランチ(ハンバーガー)も美味しかったです。

Having been to a few islands and done various activities, the Kaneohe Sandbar was a unique experience. Standing in the bay very far from shore, being able to look at the windward coast while SUP'ing and snorkeling and generally hanging out was so memorable. On top of that, the guides were so great and friendly, the donut and tang tasty treats and music from live performers was an unreal touch.
This was a great way to get exposure to a bunch of activities without exhausting yourself getting out to the sandbar on a rented kayak. Being able to BYOB and not worry about how that will affect your trip back to the dock was a super bonus!
NOTE: the snorkeling on the sandbar is super limited since the water is only waist-deep. Great for beginners and kiddos, but if you want a more snorkel focused tour, search around for that.

極楽浄土が存在しました。ウクレレの演奏を聴きながら、ダイビングスポットまで船で行き、綺麗なサンゴ礁と魚がたくさんいるところでダイビングし、カヌーにのって楽しみました。忘れられない思い出をつくることができました。

カナヅチの私を引っ張ってくれ
とても安心して遠くまで行くことが出来、
海ガメもしっかり見れました。
少人数なので
海ガメをゆっくり見ることが出来たし
あんなに安心してシュノーケル出来たのは

A must do experience…. We arraigned for the shuttle to pick us up at our hotel which I highly recommend to add that to package because you are tired after the experience…. The staff was awesome and went out of their way to make sure we had a good time. The musicians were fantastic, beautiful voices and very funny. I highly recommend the higher package that includes the banana boat ride…. It’s so worth it

I love using this cruise , I love how they take care of us . The captain told us about the island history, I love the stories he told us as we were getting closer to The Valley . I always get impressed by the beauty of the Napali coast . I have never been to such a beautiful view . I plan on going back to this island in the summer . The snorkeling was amazing!!! I got to swim next to turtle and fishes . The food was good , never disappoints to use this app this cruise . It’s perfect for families, small kids, groups or even solo trips

This was my fourth time with this cruise and it did not disappoint me at all . My first time was by myself but I had to bring my family so they could experience the breathing views of Napali coast . This time I brought my parents specially to celebrate my moms birthday. She was scare at first but as we started seeing the valleys and the blue water she enjoy to the point to even cry to see such a beautiful place . My dad was so exited he jump for a swim . I love the part when we got so close to the waterfall
