All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

Excellent adventure, was very well organized. We enjoyed it alot and definitely recommend this excursion. The excursion was on time the staff was super friendly and informative.

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。
素敵な思い出をありがとうございました。

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.

初めてのサンドバーでシュノーケリングでは海亀と併走して泳いだりととても貴重な体験をしました。
曇りだったので少し寒かったのと砂浜が出てなかったので晴れで干潮の時にまたリベンジしたいです

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!

Really enjoyed our Morning out. The crew and Captain made the trip so much better. Honestly, their energy was off the charts, the music was good, enjoyable for all ages (we went as a couple in our mid 20’s and loved it, there were children loving it and parents older than us that were having a blast!)

I’d recommend the photo package, we didn’t get it but looking back and seeing how many pictures Tom took is outstanding. It’s the only photo package I’ve seen so far that guarantees 300 real photos of you minimum.

We’ve done a lot of trips on this holiday and this was probably the best crew I’ve seen. Can’t rate them high enough. Wish I could remember all their names but I can’t. Either way, amazing team to have.

My kids and I had a awesome time. The staff was really nice and made sure we enjoyed ourselves. The place is amazing. I highly recommend this outing. We enjoyed the banana boat ride and the bumper ride. The water was a bit chilly but we still enjoyed a lot.

Great crew, beautiful bay. The cruise ship was super equipped with everything you need to have a great time. The food was delicious, the snorkeling gear was great and the restrooms were clean. We highly recommend this tour!

John was an awesome guide. Perfect excursion, we got to swim with turtles, touched an octopus and watched a Manta Ray swim beneath us. Excellent tour !!!

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

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!

Delightful crew. Simple food always available. very well organized. Had reef-safe sunscreen available. Even had prescription goggles for me. Captain told great stories. A great morning's adventure.

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.

The cruise staff was excellent and the snorkeling was great.

You can easily enjoy snorkeling and encounter sea turtles. The staff is very kind and accommodating, so you can participate with peace of mind and have a truly valuable experience.

手軽にシュノーケリングが楽しめ、ウミガメにも出会えます。スタッフがとても親切に対応してくれるので、安心して参加でき、とても貴重な体験ができます。

From beginning to end this was a wonderful experience! All the staff were amazing! We got to see incredible sites, snorkel, see dolphins and whales all in one day! Highly recommend this adventure!

Great crew! Great snorkeling experience! We would recommend for anyone to do. It was my first time the crew was very helpful and made me feel very comfortable.

Although it wasn't guaranteed that we would see dolphins, we were able to see many of them. The boat was comfortable, and the staff really got everyone excited, making for a very enjoyable day. The early morning gathering was a bit challenging, but it made the day feel longer, which was very fulfilling. I also had the experience of seeing the great nature of the land from the boat, which was an excellent experience. Although the snorkeling time was a bit short, we were able to see a sea turtle and many fish. It was a lot of fun. Thank you!

イルカを見れることが確定ではないのにも関わらず沢山のイルカを見ることができました。船の中も快適でスタッフさんたちが沢山盛り上げてくれたのでとても楽しい一日を過ごすことができました。朝の集合が早かったですがその代わり一日が長く感じることが出来たので充実感に圧倒されました。陸の大自然を船から見ることができる経験も出来たので非常に良い体験をすることができました。シュノーケリングは少し時間は短いもののウミガメを無事見ることもでき、沢山の魚を見れました。非常に楽しかったです。ありがとうございます

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

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.

The staff was super friendly and we had a fun time. We were able to see a turtle and lots of fish. They supplied snorkel gear and drinks/soda. Just remember to bring a towel because it can get chilly. Location was easy to access as they are on the beachside of dukes Waikiki. Definitely recommend Manu Kai..

Loved this tour, the boat was easy to find, and its nice that its close to the hotels and quick, as we did not want a full day on a boat!

Unfortunately, the sandbar was not visible, but we were able to see turtles while snorkeling, and the kids were delighted. During this time of year, the water temperature is low, so it was cold. However, it was great to try stand-up paddleboarding for the first time, and once we got on the boat, we could enjoy warm drinks, which helped us warm up!

残念ながら、サンドバーは出ていませんでしたが、シュノーケリングで亀が見れて、子供達は喜んでいました。この時期、水温が低いので、寒かったです。でも、初めてSUPをやったり、船に上がったら温かい飲み物も飲めて、身体も温まり、良かったです！

This was a good tour. Saw two turtles at the first spot and my daughter saw a small reef shark with a few of the other snorkelers. Some how I missed it. Then we went to the crater and we saw tons of fish. On the way back we saw several whales which was a bonus.

This trip was great and a great value for the price. The staff was amazing and everyone in our party had so much fun at the sandbar playing with all the water toys.

And the musicians were really good and we had fun singing along and dancing. I would definitely do this trip again and will recommend to everyone we know. Thanks for a great afternoon.

We would like to spend more time at snorkeling sessions and not 45 mins. We still have to wait people to get down into the water.

I thought it would be a bit cold, but with excitement in my heart, I dove into the sea. I was moved by the emerald green scenery. After enjoying a delicious hamburger, it was time for snorkeling! I tried fins for the first time, and while the corals and colorful fish were pleasant, the surprise and thrill of seeing a huge sea turtle emerge from behind the corals made me really glad I participated.

We had Captain Mike, Leroy and Tony on our adventure. They were nice, professional and very informative. Will do again for sure!

Departure in the rain
By the time we arrived at the manta sea, the rain had stopped.
Underwater, the mantas spun around several times, and we couldn't help but cheer.
It was amazing to see them glide through the water as if they were flying.
It was just cold; we had two towels with us.
The guides were very kind, and it was reassuring to participate with Japanese support.
