Hawaii Manta Ray Sunset & Night Time Snorkel Experience from Kona - Iruka

Manta snorkle

Reviewed by: Emily

This excursion was one of the coolest things I’ve ever done! I’ve been to the Big Island 4 times prior and never did this, but I now highly recommend it! It will truest blow your mind to see these beautiful creatures! Trever, Diego, Captain Wayne and all the other crew that I can’t remember their name, sorry, were very helpful and knowledgeable about the Manta Rays. The rays came within inches of us! Very cool! Highly recommend!

Thank you very much!
Mantas swim in a relaxed matter, and come close and turn around under the blue light.
It is very mystical experience !
Please don't miss out when you visit Kona.

Turtle Town & Molokini Snorkel Tour with Breakfast & Lunch - Aloha Blue Charters

Amazing trip!

Reviewed by: Nadia

The crew were extremely knowledgeable made us feel so safe, we had questions about sharks they answered everything for us and made us feel extremely comfortable and at ease. They made the trip super fun. they were very funny and welcoming. The food was more than enough for breakfast and lunch. We spent plenty of time at each stop, we saw plenty of turtles and cool fish. The crew let us swim for as long as we needed to. I am very thankful we chose this boat ride and I would do this 100 times over again!
A big thank you to Brian and the crew

Captain Bruce Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, SUP & Waikiki Transport

Great Time at Kaneohe sandbar

Reviewed by: Jenny

I had a great time visiting the Kaneohe sandbar with the Captain Bruce crew. They were very welcoming and provided guidance and supervision during the trip to make sure everyone was safe. I was able to see many turtles and beautiful corals while also enjoying the paddle board provided by the crew. I highly recommend this trip for anyone looking to spend a great morning (or afternoon) to enjoy some of the best nature in Oahu.

Nice adventure!

Reviewed by: Anonymous

We rented a double sea kayak for a paddling adventure across Kaneohe Bay. In about 3 hours we enjoyed snorkeling on the reef and playing around on the sandbar. Was about 4 miles paddling total, but definitely worth it.

Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkeling Tour & BBQ Lunch with Waikiki Pickup

Best time ever!!

Reviewed by: Lindsay Hope

I cannot say enough great things about this experience! We spent the day listening to music, playing volleyball on the sandbar, snorkeling and swimming with turtles. It was absolutely amazing. They grilled burgers, provided drinks and the crew was super funny. Not only was the crew funny but we lost our GoPro in the water while snorkeling and they ended up going back the next day and diving for it - and they found it! Thank you to the amazing crew, we will definitely be back!!

Amazing Tour!

Reviewed by: Anne

Awesome day spent with this tour! The sandbar and views were very beautiful. Lunch was very good, we had burgers which they cooked on the grill on the boat while we were hanging out at the sandbar, came with drinks and chips which was very filling. After we went turtle watching and saw SO many turtles, definitely more than 10! The kids were very excited to see them. Also saw many fishes at the snorkeling sight, tour guides were very helpful and safety was their number 1 priority.

Captain Bruce Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, SUP & Waikiki Transport

Great for beginners!

Reviewed by: Cecilla (Cece)

Such a fantastic experience for someone whose never been snorkeling before. Great for beginners and family friendly! Rain comes and goes but the sandbar and the ocean was still warm and beautiful. I would like to thanks Trevor for helping me overcome my fear of the ocean overall. Lol. Without him I wouldn’t have gone beyond the sandbar. You rock!! I had the pleasure of seeing turtles, small colorful fishes, and of course the beautiful reef. Thank you Captain Bruce for such a great hospitality. I will definitely come back with a group of families in the near future!

Captain Bruce Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, SUP & Waikiki Transport

A must do if you're visitting Oahu

Reviewed by: Kat

I've been to Oahu many times and had always wanted to go to the sandbar but didn't get the chance to until now.
I booked the morning tour on July 8th of this year, and boy it was a beautiful day. It was cloudy the day I arrived in Oahu so I was worried about the weather.
Captain Bruce had 2 boats full of tourists out that day. We didn't meet Captain Bruce. Instead we got Captain Robin and his assistant Irvin.
Both men were so nice and helpful. They let you go off on your own, but at the same time, kept an eye on you from a distance, to make sure you don't hurt yourself or get in trouble when you're out in the water.
There were lots of watersports to do, all provided free of charge. Chips and non-alcoholic beverages were also provided free of charge.
I had a wonderful time.
The views were stunning anywhere you look. I want to go back there again. I will pick them again. Their price is cheaper compared to the others, and the staffs are awesome friendly people.
It bothered me that many people left without tipping the crew. That was not cool.

It was about knee-length. 膝丈くらいでしたが

Reviewed by: ともこ

I had a wonderful experience! The tour guides were all very kind, preparing everything in advance and paying attention to us. We got to see turtles, and the hamburgers were delicious. The snorkeling allowed us to see many fish, which was very moving. I would love to participate again if I have the chance. There wasn't enough time to change, and the return bus was a bit cold with the air conditioning, so I almost caught a cold with just a towel over my wet swimsuit.

とっても素敵な体験ができました!ツアーの方々も皆親切で先に準備をしてくれたり気を配ってくれたり亀も見れましたしハンバーガーもおいしかったです。シュノーケルはたくさんの魚が見れとても感動しましたまた。機会があれば参加したいと思います。着替える時間がなく帰りのバスは少しクーラーが効いていて寒いので濡れた水着の上にタオル1枚では風邪をひきそうになりました。

Pink Sails Waikiki 2-Hour Turtle Canyon Snorkel Cruise with Light Snacks from Ala Wai Harbor

Not Much To See

Reviewed by: BeeKae

The worst snorkel tour I’ve ever been on as far as what a person was able to see under the water. My husband didn’t see a single fish. The kids and I saw two species. A black fish and a striped fish..literally two fish of each kind. Water is too cloudy to see much. I don’t believe there is really much to see even if the water were clear. No reef in sight. Way too many tourists from about 5 different boats all dropped off to snorkel at the same spot so people are constantly getting in each other’s way. I never saw a turtle except the one from the boat when we first pulled up. BEST part was the crew and the sail after the snorkel. The crew was wonderful. Brandon was super funny. Ryan and Mike both nice guys. They all work hard. Maybe it was just a poor day at sea for seeing much in the water, but I wouldn’t do it again. A sunset sail with them would be great since the sailing was the best part and the crew is awesome. But if you’re hoping to see a lot of fish and turtles while snorkeling, don’t expect it here. Wish I could get a refund.

Great way to end our trip!

Reviewed by: m Faulkner

We booked this somewhat last minute, trying to find a way to spend our final day on Oahu before our late evening flight - and we’re so glad we did! The crew was terrific - friendly, funny, and safety-conscious. The sandbar was a cool experience with clear water. The tour company provides plenty of floats and paddle boards to occupy everyone, and the snorkel portion of the visit was terrific! We saw plenty of turtles and fish, and it wasn’t terribly crowded. Definitely recommend!
