Hawaii
We were blessed with great weather, and we were able to see many turtles, creating wonderful memories for three generations! The lunch was delicious as well. The Japanese staff were very kind and helpful. It was so beautiful and I enjoyed the whole day!
天気にも恵まれ、沢山の亀もみれて親子3代良い思い出が出来ました♡
ランチも美味しかったです
日本人スタッフの方もとても親切で助かりました♪
It was so beautiful and I enjoyed the whole day!
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.
We had an amazing time. It was nice that there wasn’t too many people on the boat. The captain was great, Daryl, as well as the rest Of the staff. They were all friendly, and really looked like they were enjoying themselves too :-)
It was a very windy day but we made the best of it!
Captain Cindy and Crew John were awesome! They made this the trip of a lifetime! They were informative, so very helpful, personable, and professional. We had a great time from the beginning to the end!
Sun came out! Spectacular views! Kayaking can be difficult, but really enjoyed the views!!!
Aloha Douglas! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak adventure! And thank you for taking the time to leave this awesome review. We really appreciate that. It certainly can be difficult paddling in ocean conditions, but definitely worth it for how beautiful it is, and hopefully a fun adventure and a good workout. Glad to hear you had a great kayaking experience with us. Hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!
We had han awesome time at kaneohe bay. Crew and performers were great. Its worth it!!! Highly recommend booking it on your trip to hawaii.
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.
Friendly, relaxing and beautiful life memory and experience.
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
What an amazing trip. So pleased we booked this experience with them. Very friendly and helpful staff. Such fun. Highly recommend.
Great experience. The crew was great, full of information about marine life. They took us to amazing shallow reefs off of Lanai and there were no other boats around at all. Saw sea turtles and octopus. They also made sure to get us to see whales and since it's late March, they were everywhere. We followed some pods and got to see them go under the boat. Incredibly professional as well, helpful for getting gear on for those we have never snorkeled before. Wetsuits available for rental which was great to use in the water since it gets cold after a while. Breakfast, nonalcoholic drinks, snacks available, BYOB and you can store stuff in their huge cooler.
Warmest Mahalo for the Amazing Review for Kaanapali Ocean Adventures half day snorkel tour to Lanai.
Didn’t have great weather so we didn’t see the sun nor did the water look that super nice shade of blue. Also didn’t see the sandbar??? They said it was high tide so was kind of just like being on the ocean. They food was a a croissant sandwich that was probably purchased at the grocery store that day and they ran out of salad, I’m glad I brought snacks because I was still pretty hungry after. Band was great but we only hear them on the 15 minute boat ride out and back. Overall fun day though would recommend!
Just did the Snorkel and Sunset dinner cruise. I would definitely do this again. The. Staff was absolutely awesome and very very patient. I sometime feel very constrained with all the rules but the staff did a very good job explaining why they have to do what they do to keep all of us safe and still have the best time. The music was great, the food was wonderful. And everybody on the boat seemed to have a good time. Oh and the sunset on the water was epic. I highly recommend this to all!
Perfect location, easy to find and board.
Boat is great.
Crew are amazing, professional and fun
The trip duration is just long enough.
Plenty of turtles and things to see
Ride back is great...the beverages for the ride are really nice too.
This was one of my best days on O’ahu and every day was great. Definitely a must. The scenery, swimming is wonderful. Of course the highlights were the turtles. The crew is very nice and helpful. if you don’t feel comfortable snorkelling they guide you and stay with you. The three hours is not too long or short.
We're very pleased to hear you're having a great time at the sandbar.
Thank you so much for kind words and sharing your best experience with us with the Capt. Bruce tour.
We're looking forward to seeing you in neat the future. Mahalo!
For a family coming from the snow, we didn’t know what to expect. We didn’t even know if we could snorkel! The crew was super helpful and fun. All of our fears were for not. We had the time of our lives! We were treated to historic stories to go along with our boat ride, the snorkel equipment was clean and high quality, the sights were incredible! The perfect adventure for beginners! Highly recommended!
Love the musics and fun, many activities …………………………
I recommend it not 100% but 1,000,000% and believe me that they are not paying me for these letters that I write, good organization, punctual, very clean, everything
Had a great time! Amazing Crew! Great activities! Live Music was excellent!
The crew was so welcoming and sweet! I’ve been to Hawaii almost 10 times but this was my first time at the Sandbar. It is really nice if you also just want to enjoy the water and beautiful weather. The activities are a bonus. I lost my earring and they literally snorkeled for about 20 min and actually found it. Super cool people :) I will definitely be back, hopefully next time w family and friends.
My husband and I had a great experience on this cruise! The music was awesome and not to mention being able to enjoy water activities for a few hours. Would definitely do this again and we strongly recommend.
I had such a great time, got some good drinks with us and awesome entertainment with the live music covers. Lovely staff and extremely helpful.
Definitely would recommend to bring extra mixers for whatever liquor you bring in a plastic bottle. They don't allow glass and the only drink options are water and orange tang. Outside of that i had an amazing time and met some pretty nice folks.
Our family of 6 had a blast on this event! We booked the full package with banana boat and bumper tube add-on for our teens and just a standard package for mom and dad + an infant. There was plenty to do for all ages! We laughed and enjoyed watching the kids tackle the watersports. The waters were calm enough for my infant daughter to enjoy a dip. Life jackets are provided in all kinds of comfortable sizes. There was plenty of time to spare! The crew is lovely. Everyone was so kind and welcoming. The live music was very much appreciated and performed by a talented duo.
I highly recommend this event!
Liz was our instructor/guide and she was awesome! She made sure that we were comfortable in water all the time. She helped us see fish and shells. She took great videos for us to take home. Also, she found a sea urchin skeleton for my son to take home as a souvenir! Thank you so much, Liz! We had a great time! :)
It was an amazing experience! The sandbar is such a unique and beautiful location making it very memorable. The staff were very attentive and made it a safe and super fun time. Lots of activities that you can do and there's enough time to do everything. I highly recommend this trip. I went with my significant other and we really enjoyed it, but we also would highly recommend going with a group of friends.
I did many excursions on Oahu and this was my favorite, never had more fun in my life. BOOK IT- you will not be disappointed!!!
beautiful day on the water with family!! they have so many activities to fill the day
This was exactly what I needed to do for a spring break morning after a stressful half semester. The staff were super friendly. I really appreciate that the SUP boards and kayaks were available for anyone to use at any time, as well as that we were not required to give up our kayak after any given period of time. We ended up spending most of our time floating and paddling. The reef is also great for snorkeling, with some unusual sea cucumber things I hadn't seen elsewhere in Hawaii.
This was a fun half day trip. Parking is free which is a plus. It's great for big groups, newcomer's to Hawaii and families with kids. The sand bar is shallow, so it's easier on non-swimmers. The equipment was in good condition and clean. The staff was great and very helpful. It's BYOB and food so that's a treat and you're not locked in to some random meal that you don't like. Spend the extra money for the Tube Ride, it's worth it. The entertainment is wonderful and legit! There is so much local talent in Hawaii and it was a pleasure to have see some. We did the morning boat and my teenagers loved it and it was just enough time for them to be able to get back and surf in the afternoon. I highly recommend this excursion and like any industry, tipping is always a great way to show gratitude.
The sunset cruise was a great way to celebrate my moms 60th birthday. Heather, Sequoia, and Zoey aka the Dream Team did a great job making sure each and every guest felt special and enjoyed their day. The scenery was beautiful and we were blown away by the whales and dolphins that we were able to see up close. It was definitely a night to remember!
We hope you can feel our smiles while reading over your great review! Thank you so much for joining us and for letting us know how much you enjoyed it! Mahalo and Aloha
