This was an epic experience from start to finish. These guys work so hard to make sure everyone is having a good time—from the musicians to the guys on the water, it was all so perfectly crafted. The sandbar is safe and warm, the activities are all so fun, the mountains in the distance are the perfect backdrop, and the music is so good. Mahalo for such a memorable experience that our family will treasure forever. (And special thanks to the staff who helped me find my phone in the ocean when it fell out of my pocket on the SUP.) I will recommend this to anyone coming to Oahu.

- Best part: spotted a whale close to our boat on our way to Turtle Canyon; seen turtles and lots of fish during the snorkeling session
- The current was a little strong in the afternoon but still worth the trip
- Overall super fun experience
- Definitely recommend!

My sister and I did this kayak excursion and it was amazing! Staff was nice and very helpful. Views from off the coast were amazing and we were able to choose our route/destinations. We actually chose to skip the main sandbar and headed to smaller, completely empty of other people sandbars that offered great snorkeling views!

I would, hands down, do this again. The crew was amazing, friendly and great with the 2 kids my group had with (ages 1 and 3). My son did snuba, said it was awesome and the instructor was great and friendly, easy to chat with. The Captain stopped to let us see whales (baby, mom and escort), it was absolutely great. There was a very knowledgeable crew member who gave tid bits of facts throughout the tour and another crew member who helped point out turtles a well as gave pointers for going under the water. Food was good too. Nothing fancy, but it did not disappoint. Not to mention mai tais were delicious. Can't wait to book again!

We wanted to snorkel without taking a boat ride. This was a great option. Our party of 3 (grandparents with granddaughter) were all beginners to snorkeling. They provided nice equipment so we didn’t need to purchase anything. The instructor, Ryan, was very knowledgeable. He showed us how to wear the items properly. He taught us the simple steps of snorkeling - breathing through the tube and floating. The lagoon was a perfect, protected place. We saw many different fish and sea creatures. Ryan’s patience with beginners was much appreciated. This was money well spent for an experience we will never forget.

Pros: You will get as close as possible to many Manta rays, completely safe, even for kids, very informative guides.
Cons: They don't yet have an option to buy underwater photos or GoPro video of your experience, so bring your own.
Overall a great experience, highly recommend!

Best excursion, hands down so much fun. Get the 8 hours and make sure to get the All Inclusive package it’s definitely worth it. We only got 4 hours but the 4 hours went by so quick and we wished we would have gotten 8 hours instead. I love how there were alot of different activities. You can bring your own coolers, drinks and food onto the boat even though they do offer lunch with the package. All the staffs were super nice and friendly really made it worth while. We definitely will be returning in the future with our friends and families.

I didn’t know what to expect, but this tour was extremely worth it. We saw some lively groups of people on the same boat, but once you get to the sandbar, it was an amazing experience. The crew is amazing. Every single person in the crew was friendly, personable, and seem to enjoy their job! 10/10.
Once you get to the sandbar, they have crew members everywhere to make sure you have a great experience doing whatever you want there.
This tour out to the Kaneohe sandbar is great for ANYONE and EVERYONE! Well worth the trip!

We had a great time on the lunch snorkel tour in Oahu! The trip is exactly as described. Hanging out on the sand bar was incredible and the turtle watching was stellar, we saw many turtles and even a large sting ray. Lunch was tasty and alcoholic drinks were $5 each. Crew was helpful and personable. The snorkeling around the reef was awesome! Bring lots of sunscreen, your own towels, an underwater camera or go pro for pics, and something easy and light to wear before and after getting in the ocean.

The staff was very friendly. We did see multiple turtles & fish. We were taken to a small area with 5 other boats so swimming in the water was like walking through Disneyland. People were kept in a very small area. They said 60 mins of swimming but it felt closer to 45 mins, maybe. If you want to see coral and explore freely, this is not the tour for you. If you want to see some turtles and fish this is a nice starting point. They offer 3 alcoholic beverages which are impossible to drink on the short return home and none are permitted prior to snorkelling. We only got this one b/c others were sold out, but if you really want those beverages be prepared to drink fast ;-). I wouldn't do this one again.

Nice way to spend a few hours out in the middle of the bay, on a sandbar.
Boat docks right up to the sandbar, and you are out to play in the water.
Snorkeling was ok, but there are cayaks, paddle boards to try, sandbar volleyball, and banana boat rides to enjoy.
Unique experience that offers something for most.
We had a family of 5 and we enjoyed trying new things and just soaking the fun and AMAZING scenery of the windward side of Oahu.
Give it a go.
We wnt on the morning run, leaving most of rhe rest of thedsy to do something else.

I’ve never been snorkeling before so this was a first experience for me. This company offers great services. They have an option for you to pay $30 more per person for them to come pick you up at local hotel (within their distance). Great option because we didn’t rent a car for our trip to Hawaii. They offer wet suit for rental $10 per person. We didn’t rent any because it was warm enough but it’s a great option. The boat ride was about 30 minutes each way and they included sodas/a cup of hot chocolate and chips for you. The manta-rays we saw were huge and there were so many of them!! They came super close as well. The best part was that they even recorded the manta-rays and air dropped the videos to us!!! I don’t have an underwater camera so it was a great surprise when she (the owner?) offered to airdrop us videos.
Aloha! Thank you so much for joining our tour and for sharing about your experience. We are so glad that you enjoyed your time with us. Please come back soon! Mahalo
