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

Fun at sea

Reviewed by: Torres Family

I appreciated leaving on time from the harbor. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The ride
allowed us to see the beautiful Kaneohe Bay. We were given ample time on the soundbar which is breathtaking. Snorkeling was also a lot of fun and we see a number of turtles. The lunch and service was great.

Big Island Manta Ray Snorkel Cruise from Keauhou Bay - Sunset & Night Tours

Great time!

Reviewed by: Reif family

The boat fit the 5 of us plus crew perfectly with space. Captain Bambi and Mason were knowledgeable and took us to see the parrots and goats while we were waiting for the sun to set and mantas to come out. Those lighted surfboard really attracted the mantas, and the pool noodles helped keep our feet up. FYI be prepared to do the Superman pose holding the surfboard. Get a good arm work out. We saw at least 5, one even touched my youngest, which scared her but no harm. I wish the surf boards would have a camera to record all the mantas but otherwise great trip!

カイルアビーチ送迎シャトルサービス　嬉しい5時間滞在！ビーチグッズなど各種レンタル付き＜日本語スタッフ／ランチ付＞

At first, it's a bit confusing. ちょっと最初は戸惑う

Reviewed by: R&S

It's more like a rental shop provided at the meeting place rather than a tour image. The staff are all friendly and approachable!

Since we didn't plan to go into the ocean that day, we only used the bicycles. The bicycles have wider tires compared to those in Japan, and they move quite well with just a light push. The brakes have their quirks (laughs), so definitely experience them on-site.

For those planning to go snorkeling, Kailua Beach is nice, but it might be a bit challenging to go all the way to Lanikai.

Especially, managing your belongings might be difficult.

There are various shops to enjoy while exploring Kailua. A great souvenir for women is Kanikai Bath & Body!

Also, there are a lot of wild birds. Additionally, since the tour time can be quite long, if you're confident in your stamina, I recommend climbing up to the Pillbox.

Regarding lunch, you can choose from three options, and we went with the BBQ plate and pizza. As mentioned in the comments, the pizza is different from what you find in Japan; it's oily, and the crust is thick yet crispy and delicious.

The BBQ plate is also tasty, but the eating area might be a bit questionable in terms of hygiene. The area in front of the pizza shop was clean! Since you're overseas, it's probably best not to worry too much about it!

ツアーのイメージではなく、集合場所のお店の提供されている貸出店舗という感じです。
スタッフさんは、みなさんフレンドリーで親しみやすいですよ！

私達は当日は海に入る予定がなかったため自転車のみ利用でした。
自転車は、日本と違いタイヤの幅も大きく軽く漕げば結構すすみます。
ブレーキは一癖あり（笑）是非現地で体験してください。

シュノーケリングされる予定の方はカイルアビーチは良いですが、ラニカイまでいくとなるとちょっと大変かも。

特に、荷物管理が難しいかもしれませんね。

カイルア散策ではいろいろなお店もあり楽しめますよ。
女性向けのお土産で良かったのはKanikai　Bath&Bodyです！

あととにかく、野鳥が多いです。
またツアー時間が結構長くとれるので、体力に自信がある方はピルボックスの方まで登るのはおすすめです。


ランチについては、3種類から選べるのですが、
私達はBBQプレートとピザにしました。コメントのあるようにピザは日本のとはちがいオイリーで生地はふといのにサクサクでうまいです。

BBQプレートも美味しいのですが、食べる場所はちょっと衛生的に微妙かも。ピザ屋さんの前は綺麗でした！
海外ですのであんまり気にしすぎないほうが良いですね！

Great crew!

Reviewed by: Reif family

Friendly, attentive and courteous crew! Good selection of beverages and fresh fruits and snacks were good (kid friendly). I liked that I saw the crew wiping down all the rails and high touch surfaces after the last group/ before we boarded. Saw some dolphins and plenty of fish, and a couple of flying fish! The crew and captain were very informative about the reef and preserving the reef life. One member even informed a kayaker that he was too close to the reef and could damage it. Will book with them again our next round.

Reviewed by: Markun

It was my first time back in Hawaii in three years, so I decided to fully enjoy this trip by participating in an optional tour that I had never experienced before. Since COVID-19 had just calmed down, most of the participants were foreigners, and I think we were probably the only Japanese people there.

Although I can understand some English, I struggled to comprehend the explanations about the meeting times on the bus. I would have appreciated it if they could have provided printed materials, even if it wasn't in Japanese.

The shallow sandy area was about waist-deep, but just in front of it was a deeper coral reef area where there were many sea turtles, which was truly moving. Additionally, the staff's hospitality was very attentive, and I was especially grateful to a female staff member who spoke Japanese. Thank you very much.

三年ぶりのハワイだったので、今回はオプショナルツアーで満喫しようと思い、今まで経験したことがなかったこのツアーに参加しました。
まだコロナが落ち着いたばかりなので、参加者のほとんどは外国人で、日本人はたぶん我々だけだと思いました。
多少の英語は理解できるとはいえ、バス中での集合時間などの説明は、理解できず、日本語は無理でも紙にプリントしたものでも配布していただけたらありがたかったと思いました。

遠浅の砂地はちょうど腰くらいの深さでしたが、ちょっと手前の部分はサンゴ礁の深いエリアとなっていてウミガメがたくさんいたので感動でした。
また、スタッフの接遇もとても行き届いていて、その中の日本語が話せる女性スタッフにはとてもお世話になりました。
ありがとうございました。

サンドバー シュノーケリングクルーズ　バナナボートなど選べるプラン　海に浮かぶラウンジ&船上ライブミュージック　アルコール購入可 ＜午前・午後／日本語クルー＞

It was great! よかったです！

Reviewed by: Junko

If you choose a day that aligns with low tide, you can see the sandbar, so I think it's a good idea to do some research before going. Since it's a large catamaran, you can't land on the sandbar, but it will take you close to it. The boat can go to a depth of about knee-high during low tide, so you can enjoy the sea thoroughly. It was a great comfort that the boat had a restroom.

潮の干潮時に合わせて日を選ぶとサンドバーが見えているので、せっかくなので下調べして行くとよいと思います。
カタマランの大きい船なのでサンドバーに上陸はできませんが近くまで行きます。干潮時で膝くらいの深さのところまで船は行きますので十分に海を楽しめます。
船にはお手洗いがあるのが大きな安心感でした。

Kaneohe Bay Kayak & Snorkel Self-Guided Tour [Tour Not Available]

Great time!

Reviewed by: Niks

There was ample parking at the facility and we were able to quickly find the check in table. The staff let us know that due to higher than normal winds (15 mph, normal would be 5 - 10mph) they were offering people the option to rebook. We opted to continue since it was the only day we could do this.

Staff said it usually takes about 30mins to get to the sandbar. We are by no means super kayakers, took us about 45mins to get there. Spent about 2 hours out there, eating snacks, snorkeling with turtles and taking pictures.

Took about an hour to kayak back. Because of the winds, there were times when paddling didn't move us anywhere.

Overall great experience! Only rec would be to bring extra water. We each finished a 16oz and 24oz thermos, and were really thirsty by the end because of the sun.

This was a great experience! We stayed in Waikiki and the pick-up and drop-off was amazing, especially at the end of the day since we were able to sleep on the shuttle home. Swimming around and playing volleyball on the sandbar was fun! The crew did a good job getting the passengers involved. After lunch we drove around and saw sea turtles before heading to the reef to snorkel. It was our first time snorkeling, but the crew was helpful making sure we were comfortable with the gear. We had a blast! Would definitely book this if you're looking to maximize your time with activities.
