Hawaii
The crew that took us on our cruise made us feel welcome and safe. They were friendly and knowledgeable.
The cruise was awesome and the snorkling was beyond this world. They truly made our day enjoyable.
Thank you! Mahalo.
We loved the experience. I highly recommend them and their staff.
I highly recommend this tour, felt very family oriented and chill. The staff on board were super friendly. The tour goes to three destinations, first the sandbar, then turtle watching, and snorkeling. Each stop was the perfect amount of time. I would definitely do this again if I had the chance.
We had a great time. The crew member are helpful and friendly. The boat is clean and well maintained.
We had a great time, and the crew was awesome! Sandbar and snorkeling was very cool!
Let me start by saying that this entire experience was fantastic. Captain Chris was delightful, his crew was kind and informative and the boat itself was top notch. We were lucky enough to see plenty of tropical fish, bottlenose dolphins and three different sea turtles. We felt safe the entire voyage and it was the perfect amount of time on the boat and snorkeling for the average tourist. Would absolutely recommend! Plus it’s for a good cause, what more can you want!
My wife and I had a great time! The crew was super helpful and friendly. They were great about getting the correct gear, pointing out interesting items - including the 5 turtles we saw that day.
Captain Ryan and his first mate were awesome, and we will definitely go again and can absolutely recommend this experience to others.
We had the best time on the Captain Bob snorkel tour. The sand bar they took us to was awesome to just hang out and get acclimatted to everything. The food was good and the actual snorkel location was pretty great. All the equipment was sanitized and if you wanted you could use your own stuff or buy a set from them.
Saw a pod of dolpins. swam with sea turtles and we had rare sighting of a HUGE pod of pilot whales, maybe about 30-40 of them !
Mahalo for taking the time to sum up your experience with us. We hope to see you out here again. :) Lisa
The tour was great, crew were really nice and tons of fun! We saw a bunch of turtles and fish, and even saw dolphins next to the boat on the ride back.
Weather was tough. Super workout, but it was an adventure. So much fun! Best birthday morning work out!
Aloha! Thank you so much for joining us for what sounds like a windy kayak adventure! Thank you for taking the time to leave such an awesome review and photos too! We really appreciate that. Glad to hear that you had a good adventure and a good workout for your birthday. That's awesome! Happy birthday, thank you again, and hope to see you again soon! Mahalo nui loa!
The crew was very friendly and helpful, especially with making non-swimmers comfortable getting into the ocean. The scooters were super fun, and we saw sea turtles while snorkeling after our turn on the scooters.
I'm so glad we took this tour. It was one of the most fun and memorable moments of our Hawaii trip.
Sandbar was amazingly beautiful, the crew was friendly and fun, lunch was simple but delicious, and several sea turtles welcomed us... I can't think of anything bad about this tour because everything was perfect!
Very positive experience. Easy check in and staff was great. Family friendly.
this is a good trip worth to go, it has all water activities to give a try, I can jump from the 2nd floor of the boat into the water, staffs are friendly, will go again in the next visit of hawaii
Wow! This cruise was fantastic! We were able to see so many sea turtles up close and personal. I had to actively maintain my distance because they were so friendly and seemed completely unaffected by humans.
We had such an amazing time! We brought our 6 month old baby and still had a blast! The tour was so fun and the guides were amazing. I’d 100% recommend this to anyone
So happy we chose Captain Bob’s sandbar and snorkel Tour … the crew, the views, the experience… it was all AMAZING!! The crew was very attentive and when we went out to snorkel, the water was a little choppy, they made sure to come over and help anyone that looked like they needed even a little bit of help! The water volleyball at the sandbar was also super fun!!
Great day, start to finish- Crew was awesome, scenery indescribable, so beautiful. Very professional, food was great, service from the crew outstanding- I would highly recommend to anyone who wants a memory that will last forever-
Thank you so much for joining us and for sharing your great review! Mahalo and Aloha
Amazing experience with these spectacular creatures that don't get the credit they deserve. This tour was definitely an eye opener and will give participants a far better and more educated perspective about not only the shark population but several others as well. Thank you IslandView Inc and the 3 guides who made the experience far more sensational than I suppose I was expecting.
The lead guys name was Sam but unfortunately, I don't recall the other two who were out in the water with us and taking photos. They absolutely made this adventure outstanding for us all!! You guys are awesome. I'll be back!!!
We booked this one instead of the self kayaking to the Sandbar, and it was definitely worth it. If you want the relaxing and chill experience, and have fun, book this one. Our captain/crew was super nice and great. They take you to the sandbar, which is super beautiful, and you hangout there for about 1-2 hours, they provide you with boards and water equipments so you don't have to bring your own. The snorkeling was pretty cool too, didn't see any turtles though but still beautiful and great experience.
Aloha Gary! Thank you so much for taking the time to write this wonderful review. Your feedback is greatly appreciated and we look forward to seeing you again. Mahalo!
We had a party of 6, 2 adults, 14yo, 10 yo, 7yo, and 5 yo. We took 3 tandem kayaks. Wish we could have done 2 since the younger 2 were basically extra weight! The guide did not show good snorkeling so the tedious paddle to the sand bar was not exciting for the family.
The location was amazing and the view was fun. We loved our time in the east part of the island.
Aloha Wes! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure. And thank you for taking the time to leave such an awesome review for us! We really appreciate that. Hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!
It’s a great workout; reaching the sandbar was well worth the effort.
Aloha Renju! That's awesome! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel experience! And thank you for taking the time to leave such a great review for us. We really appreciate that. Glad to hear you got a good workout and had a good time! The sandbar is amazing and well worth the workout for sure. Hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!
We really enjoyed our snorkeling with sharks. The guides were great and we spent quite a bit of time in the water just swimming with the sharks. One of our favorite activities we did in Oahu!
Really enjoyed this experience, the manta rays even touched me!
You can bring your own GoPro but it might be hard to film and hold on at the same time. You're not swimming, you're horizontally floating with a pool noodle at your ankles and your hands gripping a light bar that attracts plankton upon which the mantas feast.
It can get cold when you're in the water, so don't be afraid to bring dive boots, gloves, and your own wetsuit. You'll get a shorty top only and I was pretty chilly, even for a New Englander!
The crew was friendly and talkative. We had never been snorkeling and they made it easy and comfortable. The area where we went there are multiple boats and people, that is not a poor reflection on this tour, but we didn't realize so many people would be in the same place. We did see turtles!! and fish and the reef. They take little time going back so you can get pictures with the view.
A waste of money because we looked for parking for over 1/2 an hour and missed our check-in time on the boat.
Lots of turtles and bonus dolphins! Fun time on the water.
It was a lifetime experience to see so many manta rays. The captain and crews tried to give everyone the best experience. Unfortunately the waves for that evening was so high that made the boat ride an unpleasant trip.
