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

Awesome experience very friendly for beginners and kids

Reviewed by: Ying

That’s my best ever snorkeling experience with captain Bruce tour, our captain is captain Rowan, after I told him that my daughter and I don’t know how to swim and that’s our first time snorkeling. He helped us a lot. He guided us to the snorkeling area and helped us flow with the red banana. And all other two stuff guys are very helpful too. I very recommend this tour. Do not miss it lol!

It was my first experience with spam onigiri, and it was really delicious. Additionally, there was a great selection of drinks and snacks, and the captain and crew were all very nice. Each tour also had plenty of time, making for a relaxed experience. Since the wind can be strong and it might rain suddenly, it's a good idea to bring a jacket!

スパムおにぎり初体験でしたが、すごく美味しかったです。
それから、飲料やお菓子も充実していたし、船長はじめクルーの方も良い方ばかりですし、各ツアーも十分時間があるのでゆったりとしたツアーになっています。風が強くて突然雨とかありますので上着を持って行った方がいいですね！

サンドバー　キャプテンブルース　天国の海®︎シュノーケリングクルーズ　SUPや浮き輪などレンタルアイテムも！＜午前・午後／日本語クルー＞

It's the best tour. 最高のツアーです

Reviewed by: Andy

Second Trip
We chose to start a bit slowly in the morning.
We will be picked up near the Sheraton Waikiki, at Aloha Landing. (The same location for the return trip)

This tour has over 10 Japanese tourists participating, and the bus driver was very friendly.
Along the way, he introduced us to famous restaurants in Hawaii.

During the actual tour, the three crew members were very cheerful and treated us Japanese tourists kindly.
(Since there were many Japanese tourists, they engaged us by speaking some Japanese words.)
Additionally, there was a female interpreter on board who translated in Japanese, so I was able to understand the English I couldn't catch without worry.

We were able to see sea turtles, and at the sandbar, we took photos and did stand-up paddleboarding, which was very satisfying.

I definitely recommend participating in this tour!
*Please make sure to apply sunscreen thoroughly, even on your back. I probably got sunburned while snorkeling.

第2便
朝は少しゆっくりのスタートを選択しました。
シェラトンワイキキ近く、ALOHA LANDINGよりピックアップしていただきます。(帰宅時も同じ場所へ)

同便は日本人観光逆10名以上参加で
バスの運転手さんがとても気さくな方でした。
道中、ハワイの有名レストランを紹介してくれます。

実際のツアーではキャプテンクルーの3名はとても明るく、かつ日本人に対して優しい対応をしてくれます。
(日本人観光客が多いこともあり、日本語の単語を話して盛り上げてくれる)
また、船上では女性の方が日本語で別途通訳してくれるので聞き取れなかった英語についても安心して理解することができました。

ウミガメを見ることができ、サンドバーでは写真を撮ったりSUPをしたり、とても大満足です。

ぜひこのツアー、参加してください！

Was it fully booked on the day? There were a lot of people on board. The guides (Ken and two others whose names I forgot, I'm sorry...) were very kind and it was a lot of fun!

I was very satisfied to encounter dolphins on the first try, but on the second try, there were dolphins everywhere I looked, and I got to see them swimming close to the surface as well as underwater! The guides mentioned that it was a very lucky experience, exceeding our expectations!

After that, we also saw sea turtles, making it an incredibly satisfying tour! My dream of swimming with dolphins came true! Although it felt more like watching than swimming, haha. Thank you very much!

当日は満席？でたくさんの方が乗っていました。
ガイドの方たち(ケンさんとあとお2人お名前忘れてしまいました、、すみません。。)とても親切で楽しかったです！
1回目からイルカに遭遇できとてもまんぞくしてたのですが、2回目はどの方向を見てもイルカだらけで間近で水面を泳いでる姿も水中で泳いでる姿も見れました！！

Afternoon Molokini or Coral Gardens Maui Snorkeling Tour - Malolo Catamaran

Find a different boat

Reviewed by: John

Too many people for the size of the boat. Hot dogs (what can I say). Afternoon is a snorkel near to the coast that is accessible from shore (not their fault except the say they will try to go to Molikini when there is zero chance in the afternoon). Best advice is to get up early if you really want a good snorkel experience and find a boat the is not so crowded.

Reviewed by: ぴぴ！！！！

Waking up early and heading to the port! They provide explanations in both English and Japanese on the boat. With Minako-san there, Japanese participants feel very at ease!
We participated as a pair and took motion sickness medication before joining! We enjoyed ourselves without feeling seasick, but there were some who couldn't enjoy snorkeling because they got sick, so I think it's better to take motion sickness medication!
We encountered dolphins right after departing! We had a great dolphin watching experience!
After that, we went further in to swim and found more dolphins! I have snorkeling experience, but my partner does not! They said it was fine to just observe on the first trip, but we jumped right in!
No problem at all! Even beginners receive thorough explanations and are guided in the water, so there's nothing to worry about!
We were able to see wild dolphins underwater! After that, we had planned for a second trip, but...
We couldn't match with the dolphins easily, as they are wild. In the end, we went to the shallow area for snorkeling! So, it's better to meet the dolphins while you can! Since it's nature and wild, don't miss your chance!
There are warm water showers on the boat, and you can change in the restroom, so bring something easy to change into, like a warm hoodie! It's cold!
Even with hot drinks, it's still chilly!
Card payments are accepted, so cash is mainly for tips!
Overall, it was so much fun that I definitely want to participate again!

This is an unforgettable experience for turtle lovers! I was lucky enough to encounter about six sea turtles, both big and small (@_@). Although it was snorkeling, I never expected to get this close to them. There were also various activities to enjoy at the sandbar, and even as a beginner, I had a great time with stand-up paddleboarding (SUP)＼(^^)／. On the boat, there were plenty of free soft drinks and snacks. Each person gets one, and the Spam musubi, a Hawaiian classic, was delicious. The guide was fluent in Japanese, and I was particularly impressed by the talkative half-Japanese woman (^^;). If I have the chance, I would love to participate again. I hear the morning is the best time to go.

タートル好きにはたまらない体験です！！
運が良かったのか、大小6頭くらいのウミガメと遭遇(@_@)

Hanauma Bay Self-Guided Snorkel Tour & Gear Rental with Hotel Transportation

A Relaxing Float in a Volcanic Cone

Reviewed by: Raya

Worst part was getting up for a 5:50am shuttle pick-up. But it was well worth it. Our shuttle was full and there were more instructions at the top of the Bay, where gear rental was distributed and we were placed into manageable groups for the ticket office. But the organizers knew what they were doing, kept track of everyone, despite confusing looks on some of our faces (mine!). Plenty of room at the beach; clean basic facilities. Information booth was staffed by very knowledgeable and helpful guides. I noticed a long line at the locker & gear rental. In the past 10 years of 4 snorkeling trips (I'm obviously not avid), Hanauma Bay comes in 3rd as far as plentiful ocean life.* Maybe because of climate change, 10 years ago was the last of the best of snorkeling? Glad I went though. I was going to skip it because of the tourism. But the agencies in charge struck the best balance possible for an endangered reef and we humans who want to pay our respects to Kanaloa and Pele, for the beautiful gifts they bestowed.

We gathered at the port and spent about three hours together, during which we not only saw the sandbar but also enjoyed snorkeling and a stand-up paddleboarding experience. On our way back to the port, we had a lovely cruise over the beautiful sea. In just these three hours, we were able to have such amazing experiences, and my whole family was very satisfied. The macadamia-flavored coffee and spam rice balls we enjoyed on the boat were also very delicious! This trip was a celebration of our 30th wedding anniversary, and thanks to Yuka and all the staff, we created wonderful memories.

The Japanese guide provided commentary about Hawaii during the transfer, making it enjoyable from start to finish without any dull moments!

However, there are no breaks, so it might require some stamina...
(Of course, the guide will suggest going to the beach together if it gets too tough, and you can take a break from there.)

If you're not confident in your English or have concerns, I absolutely recommend this plan!

Dolphin Quest Hawaii - Dolphin Swim & Encounter at Hilton Waikoloa Village

Incredible experience, highly recommend!

Reviewed by: Carol Kromer

This was my second time doing this and it was amazing both times! This time I took my 3-year-old grandson. He was excited up until it was time to get in the water. He started crying and wanting mommy and though she was there she wasn’t planning to get in the pool (I hadn’t paid for her). Anyways, the trainer saw how upset he was and asked him if he wanted to hear the dolphin fart. He stopped crying and watched as she proceeded to make the dolphin make a fart sound. She then offered to let him do it and he did which made him laugh. He then decided the dolphin was pretty cool and ended up petting her and feeding her too. It was so fun spending that time with him and I can’t wait to do it again when my granddaughter is old enough.

Reviewed by: twins

This tour is undoubtedly the best must-do experience, as the title suggests!

We have experienced various tours in different countries, but this was exceptionally wonderful.

First, I want to express my gratitude to Captain Robin. I can't thank him enough. I truly feel lucky to have been on his boat!

The weather on the day was a bit cloudy, which wasn't ideal, but there were so many amazing highlights.

- From the captain and the crew, we felt a warm response and consideration, always wanting the tour participants to have a great time.

- There was attentive support from a crew member who spoke Japanese, which provided a sense of security.

- During snorkeling time, I was terrified and couldn't swim in the deep sea where my feet couldn't touch the bottom, but they always offered very kind encouragement and support (I think it's good to let them know in advance if you're not a strong swimmer).

- The experience of swimming up close with sea turtles will remain a lifelong memory.

- I'm not sure if there are restrictions on the number of boats, but it wasn't crowded with boats and people like typical tourist spots, allowing us to fully enjoy nature.

- Not only were there cute and sacred sea turtles, but there were also large and beautiful fish, creating a spectacular scene. Everyone was swimming very relaxed and at ease. We even saw an eel!

I could go on about the many points that made me extremely satisfied, but overall, it was just amazing! I gave a generous tip when disembarking to express my gratitude, but my appreciation for the crew, who provided such a fun and moving experience, has not faded. Even now, after returning home, I feel like sending an additional tip! (laughs)

Next time I go to Hawaii, I will definitely ride on Captain Robin's boat again! Thank you so much!!

タイトル通り、間違いなく最高の必須ツアーです！

私達はこれまでも様々な国でツアーを経験してきましたが、格別にに素晴らしい経験となりました。

まずお伝えしたいのは、キャプテンのRobinさんの素晴らしさ。彼には感謝してもしきれません。
Robinさんの船に乗ることができたのは、本当にラッキーだったと思います！

当日の天気は少し曇りで最高とはいきませんでしたが、以下のような素晴らしいポイントがたくさんありました。

・キャプテンをはじめクルーの皆さんからは、常にツアー参加者に心から楽しんでもらいたいという温かな対応や気遣いを感じられました

・日本語ができるクルーによる親身なフォローがあり、安心感があります。

・シュノーケリングタイムでは、足が全くつかない深い海では恐怖で泳げなくなってしまう私に、常に非常に優しい声がけとサポートをしてくれました（泳ぎが苦手な方は予め伝えておくと良いと思います）。

・ウミガメと間近で一緒に泳ぐことができた経験、一生思い出に残るものとなりました。

・船数の規制があるのかはわかりませんが、観光地でありがちの、あちこち船だらけ人だらけ、ということもなく、存分に自然を満喫することができます。

・可愛いく神聖なウミガメ達だけでなく、大きくてキレイな魚達もいて壮観です。みんな非常にリラックスしてゆったり泳いでいます。ウツボもみれました！

まだまだ大満足ポイントを挙げたいところですが、とにかく最高でした！
下船時に感謝の気持ちを込めて多めにチップを渡しましたが、終始楽しく感動的な経験をさせてくれたクルーの皆さんへの感謝の気持ちは未だ冷めやらずです。帰国後の今でも追加でチップを送金させてもらいたいレベルです！笑

今度ハワイに行く時も、必ずまたキャプテンのRobinさんの船に乗りにいきます！

It was a very satisfying tour! ⭐️ とっても満足できるツアーでした⭐️

Reviewed by: MN

I visited Hawaii for the first time for my wedding and honeymoon. It was a very refreshing and wonderful experience.

This time, I went to the meeting place by rental car. On the day of the tour, I happened to check my email and found a message from the tour company saying, "There will be a canoe race tomorrow, and there may not be parking available. If you need a shuttle bus, please come to ○○ Hotel around 9:10 AM. If you are coming by car and the parking is full, please park at ○○ and walk over."

I noticed this at 9 AM, but fortunately, it was at the hotel next door, so I greeted my parents and hurried over. However, I received another email saying, "The shuttle is fully booked." In the end, we went by rental car (laughs).

The reason was that there were overlapping events on the weekend. I realized that I should definitely check my emails, as you never know what might happen (laughs).

During the trip, I planned to use Wi-Fi and LINE, so I had disabled the international calling feature. Perhaps they had tried to call me the day before (＾＾；).

When we arrived at the location, luckily there was one parking spot available at the boat harbor, and we were able to park the car safely.

After parking, I wasn't sure where the reception was, but when I asked a police officer at the entrance of the port in English, he kindly walked with me to show me the way, saying, "It's at the very back under the blue roof" (＾＾).

At the reception area, there were many people, and I couldn't find the check-in for my tour. While my husband and I were looking around, a woman in a blue shirt called out my name, so we were able to check in successfully (＾＾).

During the tour, important explanations were given separately to the Japanese group and the English-speaking group, with explanations provided in each language.

Regarding our belongings, the boat we boarded was divided into two levels. On the first floor, there were baskets under the seats where we could store our bags. On the second floor, we could access our items by opening the seat lids, so there was no worry about dropping anything into the sea.

While everyone was swimming, there were always one or two Japanese staff members or local staff on board to provide free drinks. It was reassuring to know they were there when we returned from the sea♪

I had some concerns about the amount of belongings and the size of our bags, but it turned out to be very reassuring. However, just in case something fell into the sea, it might be better not to take the original passport (laughs).

At the sandbar, the tide hadn't completely gone out, so there was seawater up to my knees, but the scenery was still amazing! There were staff members who were great at taking photos, and they took many pictures for us♪

From the sandbar, we could see the mountains of Kualoa, which was lovely ❤️.

The tour schedule on the website mentioned a 30-40 minute free time, but we actually had an hour, which allowed us to relax.

After practicing snorkeling and taking photos, when we returned to the boat and looked out from the second floor, we saw overseas tourists having a great time playing beach volleyball (laughs).

There was one double float, so there were couples leisurely floating around. We enjoyed sipping free drinks on the boat and had a wonderful time♡ The burgers we had on board were also incredibly delicious♫.

After that, we all moved by boat to go snorkeling. There were many small, cute fish around the coral! I was having so much fun filming in 4K on my smartphone that I could have watched them forever♡

Next, we moved to another location for turtle watching. Since we were split into two groups on the boat, when turtles were spotted on the other side, I was too lazy to move (laughs) as it felt a bit dangerous with the crowd.

But I was glad we were able to spot turtles on our side too!

When I later uploaded the videos I took, the turtles' faces were quite clear in the footage♪

The day before, we had to give up

また荷物に関してですが
私たちが乗った船は１階と２階に分かれていて

１階は座席の下にカゴが置いてあったので

素敵な時間を過ごせたとおもます♡
船上で食べるバーガーもめっちゃ美味しかったです♫


その後はみんなで船で移動して
シュノーケリングをしました。

サンゴの周りには
小さくて可愛らしいお魚が沢山いました！
スマホの4Kで撮ってて楽しくて
いつまででも見ていられそうでした♡


その後はタートルウォッチングのために
また場所を移動しました。
船内で二手に分かれていたので
反対側で見つかった時は
移動が面倒臭くて動きませんでしたw
（人も偏ってて危ない気もしましたし）

でも自分たちが居たサイドでも
無事に見つけられて良かったです！

撮った動画を後でアップしてみると
かなりハッキリと顔が見えていました♪


前日にスコールに当たり
海亀がいるビーチに行くのを断念していたので
無事見れて満足です✨✨✨


港に戻る時も海亀見れて嬉しかった♡

帰りに船の中で
色んな映画の撮影現場である事も教えてもらいました♪


結構　濃密な経験ができた日だったと思います♡

サンドバー　キャプテンブルース　天国の海®︎シュノーケリングクルーズ　SUPや浮き輪などレンタルアイテムも！＜午前・午後／日本語クルー＞

If you want to see sea turtles, this tour is for you! ウミガメを見たいならこのツアー！

Reviewed by: Piyons

There are explanations in both English and Japanese, so even those who are not good at English can feel at ease. The free bus shuttle service also adds to the value.

(The departure times may vary depending on the season) but the first departure is early in the morning, and the tour returns just before noon, allowing you to make effective use of your time! (You won't just end up with a one-day tour.)

On the boat, drinks, chips, rice balls, and warm coffee and tea are provided, so even if you get cold, you can warm up comfortably.

I think we snorkeled for about an hour, and I was able to see sea turtles around five times. Not only could we view them from the boat, but we also got to see them up close while snorkeling. There were multiple instructors to support us during snorkeling, so even those who can't swim can feel secure. Additionally, there was someone who got stung by a jellyfish during the tour, but I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly the instructors coordinated and provided treatment.

英語、日本語の両方で説明があるので、英語が苦手な方でも安心。
無料のバス送迎があるのもお得感があります。

（時期にもより出発時間が異なりますが）1便の方は朝早く、ツアーが終わって戻ってくるのがお昼前なので、時間を有効に使えます！（1日ツアーで終わってしまう、ということはありません。）

船にはドリンク、チップス、スパむすび、あったかいコーヒーや紅茶も用意されているので体が冷えてもほっこり温まることができます。

シュノーケリングは約1時間くらいしたと思いますが、ウミガメが5回くらい見ることができました。
船の上から眺めるだけでなく、シュノーケリングで目の前で見ることができました。
インストラクターが複数名ついてシュノーケリングをフォローしてくれるので、泳げない方でも安心です。
また、ツアー時にクラゲに刺されてしまった方がいましたが、インストラクターの方の連携、処置が早く良い意味でびっくりしました。

Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Hawaiian Music - Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports

Must do

Reviewed by: Sand O

An exciting adventure for all ages, lots of different activities and skill levels. I was happy to walk on the sand bar and relax on the floating platform while my young adult company enjoyed kayaking, volleyball, SUP and snorkeling. The crew was fantastic and even off the boat you could still enjoy the live music/tunes. Bring your own snacks so you won’t be hungry or buy from the mini store on the dock. We bought a bunch of breakfast items and they were delicious. I would absolutely book this again on our next visit… MAHALO
