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

GREAT trip!

Reviewed by: Shannon P

The crew on this boat is AMAZING! They will make you feel so welcome and right at home. Like you are traveling with old friends. We had a great time and saw a ton of beautiful fish around the reef and even more turtles. We had our one year old son with us and the crew could not have been better and more caring about us having the best possible experience. HIGHLY recommend this tour!!!

No repeat!! リピートはなし！！

Reviewed by: シェリー

I think it's completely not worth the 20,000 yen per person, even considering that it's a natural phenomenon and the sand may not appear. It says that meals are included, but even in the morning, there wasn't even coffee, just a sweet donut and some bad juice mixed with water. My daughter and I participated in snorkeling, but the sea wasn't that beautiful, and there were no fish. When I asked the Japanese woman in charge, she bluntly said that there were fish a little further away by the coral, but we were told not to go beyond the coral, so we ended up not seeing many fish and our satisfaction level was zero.

It seemed like you could also do stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking, but once everyone used them, they didn't pass them on to the next person, so I only got to ride for a little bit about 10 minutes before the meeting time. I think they should either set a usage time or increase the number of equipment available. Other newlyweds looked bored floating on the rest boards in the sea, and it was really sad to see.

I will never participate again, and I think anyone considering joining should just pay for a different beach instead of this. I really want my 40,000 yen back!! (laughs)

自然現象だからサンドが現れないのは仕方ないとして、1人約2万円払って行く価値は全くないと思います。
食事付きと記載されていますが、朝なのにコーヒーすらなく甘ったるいドーナツ1つと水で溶かした不味いジュースかお水でした。
娘と2人でシュノーケルの参加でしたが、海もそこまで綺麗ではなく魚もいないし、主催の日本人女性に聞いたら少し離れたサンゴの所に魚がいると無愛想に言われました。
ですが、サンゴより向こうは行かないで下さいって言われたので結局魚はあまり見れず満足度はゼロでした。
その他サップやカヤックが出来るようでしたが、みなさん一度使うと中々次の人にまわさないので、結局集合時間の10分前にちょこっと乗れたくらいです。
使用時間を決めるか、もっと増やすか改善するべきだと思います。
他の新婚さんも海に浮いている休憩するボードにつまらなさそうにしていて、とても可哀想でした。
もう2度と参加しませんし、参加を考えてるみなさんもお金払わなくても普通に別の海に入った方が満足出来ると思います。
ほんと4万円返して欲しい！！笑

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

Sand, Sea, and Throttle

Reviewed by: Jared

We had the best time during our time at the Kaneohe Bay Sandbar Ocean Sports Adventure. The live music (an experience in itself) really sets the tone for the day. The staff were friendly and helpful. One of the crew members told me to step on him to get into the kayak. Because he was shorter, he was underwater, while I used him as stairs. And we actually had to do this twice, because I flipped out on the first try. We purchased the package that included the bumper tube ride, and I must admit I misjudged our driver, who I think was the boat captain. For some reason, I was under the impression that she was going to take us us a mild tour around the bay. This was a prime example of don’t judge a book by its cover. Let me say this clearly: la capitana was all throttle. Honestly, the tubing was the best part of my day. I would recommend this to all. Great time.

The best experience. 最高の体験

Reviewed by: nobi-

During snorkeling, we were able to see many turtles up close. The staff kindly taught my wife, who is not a strong swimmer, and they also kept a watchful eye on her, which made us feel safe. Above all, both the captain and the staff spoke Japanese well, and there were also Japanese staff members, which added to our sense of security. This is a recommended activity if you visit Hawaii. However, due to the tides, it's not guaranteed that sandbars will appear as shown in the promotional photos, so you might need to be a little cautious about that.

シュノーケリングでは、沢山の亀が近くで見られました。泳ぎの苦手な妻にも親切に教えてくれて、また、安全を見守ってくれているので安心です。何より、キャプテンもスタッフも日本語が上手な上に日本人スタッフもいて、安心度合いが違います。ハワイに行ったらオススメのアクティビティです。ただし、潮の満ち引きの関係もあるのでイメージ写真の様なサンドバーが現れるとは限りませんのでその辺は少し注意が必要かもしれません。

サンドバー天使の海　シュノーケリング＆ウミガメウォッチクルーズ　船上のBBQグリルで焼くハンバーガーランチ付き！＜午前／日本語クルー＞

I highly recommend it! めちゃくちゃオススメです！

Reviewed by: かずはる

I participated in this tour during my honeymoon in Hawaii for the first time. I compared many sandbar tours, but I decided on this one because it offered both sandbar and snorkeling with plenty of time to enjoy both in the best conditions! In the end, it was a great choice!!!

There were two boats, one with Japanese support and one with English support, and the explanations in Japanese made it even more enjoyable!

The sandbar was just at high tide, so the water was about waist-deep, but it was very beautiful, and the staff took lots of photos for us! The time spent there was more than enough, and we even had time to practice snorkeling!

After that, we were taken to a spot where we could see sea turtles, and even though it was from the boat, we could see them perfectly!

Finally, we had the snorkeling experience. We were able to see many fish while circling around a large coral reef. They provided fins and life jackets, making it very enjoyable even for beginners, so I highly recommend it. There was plenty of time for this as well, and it was fantastic.

The hamburger for lunch was, of course, excellent. By the way, I wore marine shoes, but I ended up taking them off to enjoy the experience, so they weren't necessary!

Lastly, the staff member Yukiko was very kind! It was the best! Thank you so much♪

ハネムーンで初めてのハワイで参加しました。
サンドバーツアーは他にもあり、めちゃくちゃ比較検討しましたが、サンドバー、シュノーケリングで場所を変えるし、時間もたっぷりとってあったので、どちらもベストな状態で楽しめるのではないかと思ったのが決め手でした！結果、大正解！！！
日本語対応のボートと英語対応のボートと2台あり、いろんな説明を日本語でしてくださったのもより楽しめてとても良かったです！！！
サンドバーはちょうど満潮のタイミングだったので、腰くらいまでありましたが、とても綺麗で、スタッフの方がたくさん写真を撮ってくれます！滞在時間も十分すぎるくらいで、シュノーケリングの練習する時間もありました！
そのあとウミガメが見れるスポットに連れてっていただき、船の上からですが、バッチリ見れました！
最後はシュノーケリング体験です。大きな珊瑚礁の周りをまわりながら、たくさんのお魚を見ることができました。フィンとライフジャケットを貸していただき、初心者でもとっても楽しめるのでオススメです。こちらもたっぷり時間があり、最高でした。
ランチのハンバーグももちろん最高です。
ちなみにマリンシューズを履いて行きましたが、脱いで楽しんだので、不要でした！

I was amazed by the beautiful fish that were very close by.

Yukiko, who guided us in Japanese, was very interesting, and the captain and all the staff were kind. The hamburger lunch was also very delicious. It was the end of September, but it was quite cold, so it's a good idea to bring a warm jacket for comfort.

Beautiful sea and sea turtles. 綺麗な海とウミガメ

Reviewed by: ｐ−ｊ

I went at the timing of the lowest tide during my stay, and it was about waist-deep. The staff mentioned it was shallow, so it might not be possible to see the sandy beach. However, even from a distance, the color of the sea here is completely different, which makes the journey exciting. I was wondering where we would do stand-up paddleboarding, so it was quite understandable.

The edge of this reef is a coral reef (with steep cliffs), and there are many sea turtles there. Everyone swims along with the staff, so it's safe to observe (though it gets a bit congested... (laughs)). Sometimes they come close to the surface for air! (The staff said I was lucky.) Of course, we shouldn't touch them.

Unfortunately, my camera malfunctioned halfway through, and I couldn't take any pictures of the sea turtles, which was disappointing, but I was able to remember it well, so that was enough for me.

The cheerful and energetic staff, delicious spam onigiri, and fun activities... I had a wonderful experience.

滞在中最も干潮になるタイミングで行きましたが、それで腰ぐらいの深さでした。スタッフさんは浅いよ〜っておっしゃっていたので砂浜が見えることは無いのかもしれません。ただ遠くから見てもここだけ全く海の色が違うので向かう途中からワクワクします。そもそもサップをどこでやるんだろう？と思っていたので、まあ納得でした。
この岩礁の縁は珊瑚礁になっていて（切立った崖）そこにウミガメが沢山います。スタッフさんについて皆並んで泳ぎますので危なげ無く見学できます（ちょっと渋滞しますが…（笑）)たまに呼吸で浮かんで近くに来ることも！（ラッキーだよとスタッフさんに言われました）もちろん触っちゃいけません。
今回途中でカメラの調子がおかしくなってウミガメを全く撮る事ができず残念でしたが、記憶にはしっかり残せたので十分です。
明るくて元気なスタッフさん達、美味しいスパムおにぎり、楽しいアクティビティ…素晴らしい経験をさせてもらえました。

I chose the day with the lowest tide during my trip to Hawaii and made a reservation, but at the lowest point, the water was up to my knees.

Since it was an early morning course, it was cold! The water felt quite cold until I got used to it.

We headed to the sandbar on two boats, and our boat spent about an hour taking photos and enjoying stand-up paddleboarding freely. The last hour was for snorkeling. We were able to see several sea turtles! They swam very close to us! It was a bit disappointing that the water where we were snorkeling was a little murky, but I was very satisfied because I got to see so many sea turtles. For those who can't swim, the guide provides solid support, so there are no issues.

On the boat, there were self-service rice balls, snacks, and drinks. I was very grateful for the hot drinks.

Most of the participants were Japanese. It became a wonderful memory!

Island Splash Tours Small-Group Turtle Canyon Snorkel Cruise in Waikiki

Amazing-

Reviewed by: Dr. Moore

Snorkeling is a family favorite and we booked a tour with Island Splash Tours as part of a birthday celebration. It was such an absolute pleasure going out with Captain Preston and Alex. We are in Hawaii fairly often and are looking forward to future tours with them. We really appreciated their knowledgeable approach to staying safe and making it fun for all of us. It was much more of a private experience compared to the tours we have taken on the larger boats and it made it all the more special. Everything from helping us select the best time of day to making sure everyone had a wonderful experience was done with such thoughtfulness and professionalism. A “little bird” even told Captain Preston about a family song that he made a point to play as we can back into the harbor. We all felt spoiled and loved every moment of our tour. As a Navy family we also really appreciate the military discount he offers. Completely recommend Island Splash Tours to anyone thinking about a boat or snorkeling tour!!

This was the most fun water activity my friends and I did. We did the 9AM excursion so the sun was not fully out and was kind of chilly out there. But you end up warming up in the water. The snorkeling was amazing this was the most fishes that we saw during our whole time in Hawai'i (we've done snorkeling about 3x this trip). We also did the Bumper tube ride. I would only recommend this if you want some adrenaline! Since we did the 9AM, they provided donuts and OJ. I would recommend that you bring your own lunch, snacks, and drinks. There is also a convenient store by the dock if you want to pick up food. If you're wondering, they DO have restrooms on the boat and a changing room as well. Bring a set of comfortable clothes to change into (: This is the 1 activity i would do again!

Kona Manta Ray Night Snorkel Tour - Small-Group Adventure from Keauhou Bay

A Wondrous Experience

Reviewed by: Kathy M.

We couldn't have asked for a better trip. I especially appreciated the small group size - eight people - which meant that we were able to watch the mantas without getting in each other's way. My sister and I were at the end of the line, opposite each other. This meant that as the manta rays turned over and swam upside down just under the light board - only a few inches away from us - we could look right down their throats. I was amazed at how clean and empty their large mouths were. It was fascinating to see their gills from the inside as well as the outside.

It was wonderful to watch the mantas swim. They move so smoothly they hardly seem to be propelling themselves. The patterns on their backs fluoresce in the light, so they're easy to see.

We watched by lining up on either side of a board, holding on to it and floating stretched out away from it, with flotation devices like pool noodles under our ankles. This keeps our bodies away from the mantas, which is for their protection, not ours. (The mantas are harmless. No teeth, no sting. They eat plankton, not people!)

Two tips:

1. The staff had us put the pool noodles under our ankles, but in that location, it's easy to lose the noodle. Try putting it just below your knees instead. It's much easier to keep in place that way, and if your knees are at the surface, the rest of your legs will be also.

2. If you do lose your noodle, don't panic or kick. Keep your head down, relax, stay as flat as you can, and allow the water to support your body. Staff members will retrieve the noodle and slip it under your legs again. Kicking disturbs the mantas, and the stress is bad for them.

You can meet beautiful seas, fish, and sea turtles. キレイな海、魚、ウミガメに会える

Reviewed by: まゆみ

I participated in a tour at the end of August. We gathered at a hotel in Waikiki around 9 AM and moved by bus. From 11 AM to 1 PM, we enjoyed activities in the ocean. We arrived back at the hotel at 2 PM.

On the boat heading out to sea, we were provided with water and juice. There were also snacks and Spam rice balls, all for free. We went snorkeling and observed the fish in the ocean. The guide pointed out the locations of the fish and coral, and we were able to see beautiful fish. It felt like being in Nemo's world.

Although it was in the morning, the weather was nice, and we were able to stand on the sandbar. I was with my 10-year-old and 6-year-old children, and they were able to stand as well. There were no waves.

You can borrow floaties and stand-up paddleboarding equipment for free. There are also floaties available for children. While we were playing, a sea turtle swam by, and we were able to see it up close.

On the return boat ride, we could enjoy warm coffee, tea, and cocoa for free. There were also crew members who spoke Japanese, which was reassuring. There is a restroom on the boat as well.

My children were very satisfied.

Although the price seemed high, considering the high cost of living in Hawaii, I think the cost performance is good for participating in this tour at this price.

Deluxe Captain Cook Snorkeling Tour at Kealakekua Bay - Fair Wind Cruises

A Relaxing and Enjoyable Trip with Good Food but Mediocre Snorkeling

Reviewed by: Kathy M.

On the whole, I'm glad I went. It was a lovely day, the boat was comfortable, and food great. The trip included a plant-based breakfast and lunch, with Kona coffee and alcoholic drinks available for purchase. The boat stopped twice on the way out so our guide could explain what we were seeing along the shore.

All the staff members were delightful and took good care of us.

Unfortunately, Kealakekua Bay did not offer the variety of sea life I experienced in other Hawaiian locations. I wonder if the reef has been affected by global warming. My prior experiences were 20 years ago, so things may be different now.

My experience was complicated by the fact that the corrective face masks were only available in a medium, which was too large for me. Consequently, I had major water leakage and was unable to spend much time snorkeling. One of the staff explained that supply chain problems have limited the availability of corrective masks. That's a good reason for bringing your own!

My sister, who had her own mask, explored more widely and commented on the relative scarcity of sea life, although she did see one kind of fish that was new to her.

Nevertheless, the trip was fun. I enjoyed my run down the slide - my sister's dared me to do it!

A number of snorkeling tours go to Kealakekua Bay. I looked at the other tour boats there and concluded that ours was the best. All in all, it was a great way to spend the morning. (Did I mention that both breakfast and lunch were delicious?)

My cousin and I booked this snorkeling tour as it was her first time and she didn't feel comfortable being out in super deep in the water or in a very open area. The lagoon where this snorkel tour is hosted is great as it has rock barrier walls all around to protect it from large waves. Our tour guide, Micki was so knowledgeable and was able to tell us so much about the fish and coral that we could see. This is a great tour for beginners or families with younger children who want to try out snorkeling! Would highly recommend it!

It is necessary to check the tide level. 潮位の確認が必要。

The day we participated, the depth was just enough for adults to stand. Depending on the tide, it can be completely different from the photos, so it's better to check before signing up. It was also a windy day in late September, and the water temperature was low, so the kids got cold and quickly wanted to get out, which was unfortunate. (There were even babies who enjoyed it for over an hour.)

All the staff were very friendly, and it was reassuring that the Japanese-speaking staff provided thorough explanations. It was almost full, and there wasn't a place to sit, but they kindly asked us to move, which was a great help.

If you're going to snorkel, it seems better to have marine shoes. I bumped my foot against the coral reef (which you shouldn't touch) and got injured.

私たちが参加した日は、大人がやっと足がつく深さでした。潮位によっては、写真と全く異なるので、調べてから申し込んだ方が良いです。また9月下旬の風の強い日で、水温も低く子供達は寒がりすぐに出てしまい残念でした。（1時間以上楽しんでいた赤ちゃんもいました）
スタッフの皆さんは、全員感じが良く、日本語スタッフの方が丁寧に説明してくださるので安心です。ほぼ満席で座る場所がなかったのですが、移動をお願いしてくださり大変助かりました。
シュノーケルをするなら、マリンシューズがあった方が良さそうです。珊瑚礁に足をぶつけてしまい（触ってはいけません）怪我をしてしまいました。
