All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

Max was a great tour guide. Excellent for beginners!

The whole experience was awesome and the staff were amazing. Definitely a fun and memorable excursion.

Had a great time. BEST BOAT AND CREW I’VE HAD! Crew was fun, instructional and well-prepared. Handled us in an AWESOME manner with Aloha. The “big let down” was the sheer number of the other boats trying to come into the same small area. There were 7 other boats very close to us. I kept being bumped into by swimmers from other boats. It’s freaking ridiculous! And I know there’s nothing you guys can do to control that so I can’t hold it against you. But it would be nice if the tourism board or the county did some thing to limit it. Especially when your boat has been doing this much longer than the others.

Fun quick boat ride out a bit off the Waikiki coast, great guides.

This is my 2nd time doing this excursion. First was AM trip and just recently was the PM cruise. Both times were amazing! The LIVE music is the BEST!! This cruise gives you enough time to do whatever your heart desires whether that’s chillin drinking your BYOB, snorkeling, volleyball, kayak, paddle board, and my favorite tubing! The kids also loved the experience! Plus the sandbar itself is remarkable!

The family and I (including 9 and 6 yo) accompanied Captain Bruce Tour Company to snorkel at Kaneohe Bay. This was money well spent, especially considering the length of time provided for snorkeling and paddleboard equipment. The masks seemed clean and properly sanitized, the boat captain provided clear instruction and had sufficient staff on board and in the water to assist participants. Staff also knew where to find sea life, including turtles. Overall, excellent trip and value. A word of caution -- be alert for jelly fish.

We loved this trip. The crew was great, and the whole experience was incredible. We learned so much about Hawaii, and got to see a side of the island few get to experience. We will recommend it to anyone going to Kuai in the future!

This was a phenomenal experience. The guides were great and the environment was beautiful. I want to give a shout out to Captain Robin who helped me overcome my extreme fear of snorkeling. I really wanted to be able to snorkel but I’m scared of deep water. He worked with me and another woman who couldn’t swim and we were both able to enjoy ourselves and see so many fish and turtles. He was incredibly patient and kind and I’m so grateful!

This was a great activity and our family had the best time. There was so much to do and the staff and crew were very fun and helpful!! Would do again. 10/10

I have waited my whole life to go to Hawaii. It was well worth the wait and a huge part of that is because of Manu Kai Waikiki Snorkel with Turtles Cruise. It was amazing!
The crew was professional, fun, and awesome. They made us all feel safe.
Next time I do this cruise I will bring my own snorkeling equipment. My only complaint is that I wish it was longer. The best part of this was being able to do this with my beautiful family. We all had such a great time and we look forward to our next visit to Hawaii to do it again.

I strongly recommend Manu Kai Waikiki Snorkel with the Turtles with Beers and Cocktails. You will be happy you did it. Oh yeah, the Turtles were magical it made me even more in love with Hawaii. I haven't been able to stop talking about it.

Thank you so much for a great time!

Absolutely amazing experience. Crew was awesome. Boat ride was fun, views were stunning, lunch exceptional. Snorkelling gear was provided and they even had flippers for everyone!

This was a very organized snorkeling trip. Only 5 captains are allowed to go to the sandbar. Stunning scenery in the sandbar. Our kids played volleyball and we drank beer! We got back on the boat and ate a delicious lunch of hamburgers. Then headed out to snorkel. On the way we saw several sea turtles. The snorkeling was along a coral reef and we saw many cool fish and another turtle. One of the workers took my 12 year old out and helped her snorkel. She was sacred to go out. That was very impressive! I would definitely recommend this company! Everyone had a great time!!

What a fun way to spend half a day. The musicians on the ride out to the sandbar were very entertaining. Once we got to the sandbar we especially enjoyed snorkeling and hanging out on the floating dock. Feel free to take a cooler (with booze if you so choose)! Grabbed a breakfast sandwich from a little shop right next to the boat and it was delish.

The sea is beautiful! They recommended great meal options and spots, and I was very satisfied! I chose cycling and pizza, and it was the best! Snorkeling and bodyboarding were of course fun too!

とにかく海がキレイ！
オススメの食事のメニューやスポットまで教えてくれて、とっても大満足！
サイクリングとピッツァをセレクトしましたが、最高でした！
シュノーケルとボディーボードももちろん楽しかったです！

Great excursion! Fun, energy staff! We were very happy with the sand bar excursion. We kayaked, paddleboarded, and snorkeled. The musicians on the boat was amazing!

My husband and I had a blast! The tide was high when we went but wasn’t too bad. The crew was great! Live music was awesome! Had everyone singing. Would do it again!

This cruise is awesome. Glenn the captain and his staff are phenomenal. Very attentive to your needs. Very caring and made you feel at ease. The sea was rough but he handled the cruise real well and took us to the most phenomenal view of the sunset and the coast. Ahren, Heather and Kevin were great.

Wonderful experience! LOVE the music and the variety of activities available. The staff is very friendly and make the cruise even more enjoyable! The food was great too! Thank you for a wonderful experience! Definitely recommend to anyone.

My family really enjoyed this activity. Everyone at the Captain Bruce charter was friendly and Professional. We chartered the private speed boat. Our captain was outstanding she made sure we had a great time. A++ for Captain Bruce

Overall great experience. My family really enjoyed the snorkeling and banana boat rides.

Check the tide before booking the trip. You can only walk around in shallow water that Sandbar is known for on a low tide hour. If you want to snorkel or ride kayak then this trip will make you happy.

The sea caves are quite frightening but adrenaline rush!!

Great staff... friendly and kind... everything was perfect specially the mantas❤️

We had a great experience on the sandbar. The views were gorgeous and water was fantastic. This was a great time with family and friends. The staff and musicians were very friendly and helpful. Even in the water they assisted with using the water sport equipment. I highly recommend booking this event with friends and family.

The Manta Ray snorkel experience was AMAZING! one of our favorite things we did on the Big Island. The crew was so fun and helpful. The hot chocolate after we got out of the water was the perfect touch. Definitely book this tour!!!

This is the best activity you can do, specialy if you have children. All crew takes very good care of you, they really do their best so you can have a great time. Don’t miss this. I loved that they provide all we needed to have the best time at the sandbar.

The sandbar and the hosts did a amazing job. I will be returning and letting my friends know!

Our family truly enjoyed this snorkeling trip! We've been on several and this was the best yet! The crew was super nice and took very good care of everyone on board. They fed us breakfast, a snack and lunch and it was all very good. The snorkeling at Molokini was wonderful and at the end of the trip they raised the sails and we sailed for a while. Such a pleasant experience - we'll do this one again if we come back to Maui!

We had a great time. The crew was professional and knowledgeable.
