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

A wonderful experience

Reviewed by: Sharla

We had a big group of us go on this tour. It was seamless from the start. Check in was super easy, the boat ride was quick and so much fun!! The band was incredible!! And the donuts were yummy. When we got to the sandbar instructions were given and we got to go explore and have fun! My daughter actually got stung by a jellyfish while snorkelling and it could have ruined our excursion but the staff were excellent. Got her help immediately and were super attentive and caring to make sure she was doing ok. They even shared their own experiences with jellyfish. She got out in the water and had more fun before we had to head back to shore. Thank you for everything!! If we come back to Oahu we would definitely do another tour!!

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング ベテラン日本語ガイドがご案内する少人数制ツアー 貸切プランあり<半日>

The clarity of Hanauma Bay was wonderful!! ハナウマ湾の透明度が素敵でした!!

Reviewed by: たこやき

Until we arrived at the site, we were guided in Japanese, and we were able to enjoy snorkeling at Hanauma Bay! The water was so clear that we could see the fish beautifully, and it was incredibly fun!
It seems that boats are prohibited at Hanauma Bay, so since you enter from the beach, I think wearing a wetsuit is essential to avoid injury while swimming over the coral reefs!
I had a great time! Thank you very much!

現地に着くまでは、日本語でガイドいただきながら、ハナウマ湾ではシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました!!透明度が高いので魚が綺麗に見えて非常に楽しかったです!
ハナウマ湾は船が禁止らしくビーチから入るため、サンゴ礁の真上を泳いだ際に怪我しないようにウェットスーツは必須かと思います!
とても楽しかったです!ありがとうございました!!

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

Incredible, not to be missed, experience!!!

Reviewed by: JLC

This was such a great adventure! The crew was super nice, friendly, knowledgeable and gave us all the important information ahead of time. I am glad we rented wetsuits (the long sleeve, short legs version - $10), because the amount of time we stay in the water and specially at sunset, made it for a very cold attraction.
Nonetheless, we saw at least 4 manta rays, they were swimming around and under us for the entire time and it was such an incredible experience!!!
When we got back to the boat, we were treated to some really yummy hot chocolate.
Tamae, one of our guides, also had some pictures and videos that she shared with us!!

Late March is cold! 3月下旬は寒い!

Reviewed by: やまん

It seems that sandbars appear depending on the season or time of day. When we went in late March during the day, it was just a regular shallow sea. There was live music on the cruise, which made us feel like we were in America! The activities were also fun. It seems essential to bring a jacket or a change of clothes, as it was quite cold.

サンドバーは時期?か時間帯により砂浜が現れるようです。

Reviewed by: YUNA

I was lucky enough to encounter sea turtles twice. There were also many small fish, and it felt like swimming in an aquarium; it was simply the best. The sea was cold in some areas, and the rocks were rough, so it seemed better to rent a wetsuit. Thank you for the wonderful memories.

運良く2回もウミガメに出会うことができました。小魚もたくさんいて水族館を泳いでるような感覚でとにかく最高でした。
海は所々冷たく、岩もゴツゴツしているため、ウェットスーツは借りた方が良さそうでした。

Good experience

Reviewed by: Shane

Crew was great, my family really enjoyed it. Lots of fish to see, my wife seen a turtle and really liked the experience. If you’re not a strong swimmer or out of shape I would suggest not booking. I found swimming against the current hard but my wife and daughter are stronger swimmers than me and had an easier time.

I had a very precious experience snorkeling at the sandbar for the first time, swimming alongside sea turtles. It was a bit cold because it was cloudy, and the beach wasn't visible, so I want to try again when it's sunny and during low tide.

Reviewed by: かげさん

It was tough having to swim closely together with 9 participants. While snorkeling, we had to keep an eye on the guide's position, and it became difficult to swim when everyone was too clustered. I thought it would have been nice to swim a bit more freely.

参加者9人て固まって泳がなくてはいけないのはたいへんでした。シュノーケリングしながら、ガイドさんの位置を確認しなくてはならないし、9人が固まりすぎると泳ぎにくい。もう少し、自由に泳げたら良かったかなと思いました。

We are typically do-it-yourselfers and were initially skeptical about going on a guided tour. This tour turned out to be so worth it! Captain Brendan and crewmember Tuliz were very knowledgeable, competent, and friendly. We happened to see whales at close range along the way, and our guides made the most of it. The snorkeling at Captain Cook is magnificent. A fantastic experience all around!

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

The Best Tour in Oahu- a must do!

Reviewed by: Alaskawayne

Wow! To start. They picked us up at our hotel to start. Then drive us to Kaneohe sandbar. Next a beautiful short boat ride to two barges loaded with sea toys. Beautiful shallow sandy beaches that are user friendly for small children to seniors. The reef snorkeling is easy, very well guided and watched in smaller groups. We swam with turtles. Captain Danny went out of his way to share local marine knowledge and make sure all got to see turtles. This was our second time- we also sent our daughter and grandchild. They immediately fell in love with the tour and friendly crew. They are like family to us now. We will always come and swim with the turtles only with Captain Bruce's Team.
We have tried others and this family prefers and highly recommends Captain Bruce's based on experience. I am a former diver for the Seattle Aquarium, researcher for Washington State Department of Fisheries, Rescue Diver, Assistant Dive Instructor Advanced Open Water and lastly Alaska Department of Fish and Game. Simply said "Captain Bruce's does it right". I send my grandkids there Thank you Captain Bruce's! We love you!!! My only request is that you start another tour a bit more advanced for experienced snorkelers.
Then sign up this family

Reviewed by: Juliet

Beautiful tour! We saw the coast, rainbows, whales, and a beautiful sunset! The food is fantastic and the crew is incredible! Do NOT do this if you get at all sea sick though because it is a rough ride out. I would also recommend sea sickness medication before if you don’t want to chance it all. Wear clothes you don’t mind getting wet because you will!

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

Great views and lots to do.

Reviewed by: Jillian Godwin

I’m so glad we booked this excursion during our 2 day whirlwind tour of Oahu. We have a friend that’s on the island so we came over from vacationing on Maui to visit. Check in was super easy. The boat was clean and well kept and the crew was amazing. Loved the live music on the journey to and from the sandbar. Once we arrived, there was a little something for everyone. Paddleboarding, kayaking, hanging out on a floating platform or snorkeling! They even had inner-tubing and banana boat rides for an extra fee. The views of the island were stunning. Trip lasted roughly 3 hours so plenty of time to still explore the island after. Shout out to Preston and Jesse for all the aloha and good vibes. It was a super fun trip and we highly recommend to anyone visiting Oahu. It’s a really great excursion.

Everything in the title and description is not only accurate, but does not disappoint! Festive and fun the whole time... beautiful setting with the smaller islands and mountains surroundings, standing a mile off shore in the middle of the bay. Nice touch having the floating lounge, and thoughtful idea providing fish treats for snorkeling(!) The music Jessie and crew played on board, and DJ-ed during activities was awesome--so much fun dancing with the fish! We only wish could have had more than one go of the banana boat and bumper tube. Worth doing more than once on a trip here, definetly--almost tried walking in backward when we were leaving

Enjoying the Journey

Reviewed by: Lyna M

My husband and I took our family to Hawaii for spring break. We always at the kids do something different. I thought they might be hesitant, but they tried The banana boat and the bumper boat and loved it, probably one of the most fun things they did on this trip. The only thing I would say I was disappointed about this excursion was that the description said they will provide soda or coke with lunch but we got lemonade instead. The bathroom on the boat also needs to be restocked before taking the next ride out. There were no soaps or hand sanitizer to use. Besides this, we had such a fun time.
