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

Tough

Reviewed by: Katie

We weren’t anticipating the sunken city and surrounding sandbars for snorkeling, so in four hours we went out that direction first then went back to the main sandbar almost to the bird sanctuary. Didn’t see many people out there which was surprising. Didn’t look how we expected it. Felt like the only kayak out there. Took forever just to get around fighting the current and have lots of shoulder pain the following day. Glad we survived to tell the tale. We did see many many turtles.

Aloha Katie,
Thank you for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure, and for taking the time to leave this review. Glad to hear you saw quite a few sea turtles. Hopefully that was rewarding and a good experience. Otherwise, sorry to hear the experience didn't meet your expectations. It sounds like you paddled quite a far distance overall, and kayaking in the ocean should certainly be expected to be a pretty strenuous workout. Hope your shoulder is okay. Mahalo.

Hilo Black Sand Beach Guided Snorkel Tour at Sea Turtle Lagoon

Fun time snorkeling, but we miss the boat.

Reviewed by: SJ Bass

We signed up for a snorkeling trip online. Mind you, we’ve done these trips before where they take us out on a catamaran and find some secluded bay where we can go and check out the tropical fish and coral reef and maybe a chance at a sea turtle.

Well, this trip was not quite the same. We did find a secluded bay that had a nice cool reef and tropical fish but we got there by use of a Ford expedition (which had no AC by the way). We then traveled to a second spot by car, where we did get a chance to see a sea turtle, but not much else.

Our snorkel guide was very kind and considerate and made sure that everybody in our small group of four was safe. But it seemed like he was working with one arm tied behind his back, because he had to hunt out the two places for us to dive.

  • Our snorkeling guide was great!

I'm glad I got to see the sea turtles. The kids were very satisfied! However, it was unnecessary to stop at the store affiliated with Macasar on the way back. It was cold, so I wanted to return to the hotel right away.

Wonderful tour guides! Beautiful time

Reviewed by: Trisha

Our tour guides were fantastic and truly helped make the best of a chilly/rainy & overcast day. They were fun, informative and truly went above and beyond to help out with our little one throughout the trip, even when he got a bit moody. Our driver who picked us up was kind as well. Overall, we'd book again and hopefully have a warmer afternoon for it.

Awesome!

Reviewed by: DodgerDeb

We’re in our 80’s, and this was the PERFECT choice of cruise. Wonderful big boat, delicious lunch, and very enthusiastic and helpful crew! Also the two musicians were amazing, with lovely Hawaiian songs. As for the activities, it was easy to get up and down the stairs to the water, and the sandbar and coral were right there. Lots of other activities easily available, but we were there for the snorkeling. A lovely day! Thank you!

To be the first time snorkeling for the whole family, it was amazing. We had the opportunity to be only party that day so we practically had a private tour the whole boat for ourselves. My husband and girls had the best time ever.
The whole crew took good care of us 6, one of them stood in the water the whole time making sure we were ok. They provided refreshments and ensured we were ok throughout the whole trip.

Loved all the information that was given throughout the trip. We all felt safe and had the best time. All the crew members were very attentive to the guests.

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>

A place I definitely want to visit again. 是非また訪れたい場所

Reviewed by: TANG

My first time in Hawaii and my first sandbar experience. Seeing it in person is even better than in photos. The activities include snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), and there's plenty to do.

During snorkeling, I saw beautiful fish among the coral, and even a sea turtle resting in the coral or surfacing for air. The sandbar is neither too deep nor too shallow, making it a safe place for first-time SUP experiences. This time, I challenged myself to stand up on the paddleboard for the first time. You can enjoy it at your own pace and lose track of time.

The boat is equipped with drinks, snacks, and fruits, and there’s a restroom on board, which is reassuring. There are also staff members who speak Japanese, which is a great support. They call out with a smile, “If you didn’t understand the English explanation, raise your hand!” So don’t be shy and just raise your hand.

If you have your own snorkel, I recommend bringing it. The rental snorkels are standard versions without drainage valves, so using something you’re familiar with might feel more comfortable.

はじめてのハワイではじめてのサンドバー。
実際に見ると 写真以上。
アクテビティもシュノーケルにSUPの他
盛りだくさん。
シュノーケルではサンゴに綺麗な魚たちにウミガメも、珊瑚の中で休んでいたり、呼吸のために浮上する姿も観察可。
サンドバーの上は深からず浅からず SUP初体験も安心してトライ可能。
今回、人生初SUPでスタンディングまで挑戦。
自分のペースで時間を忘れて楽しめます。
船には ドリンク スナック フルーツ完備、
トイレも船にあるので安心。
日本語のできるスタッフも同乗され、心強い。
「今の英語の説明 わからなかった人ぉ〜」って笑顔で呼びかけてくれるので。恥ずかしがらずにハイ!と手を挙げましょう。
もし、マイシュノーケルをお持ちであれば、持参をお勧め。貸し出しシュノーケルは排水弁等のないスタンダード版なので 使い慣れたモノの方が気分的には安心かも。

Our group of 9 loved this excursion! so many things to do during this boating trip which is perfect for bigger groups. They have all of the equipments for you!

We didn't get the food package but you can bring your own food on the boat, plus it's only a couple of hours.

- Snorkeling: the sandbar was perfect for snorkeling because of the calm ocean, be careful of the jellyfishes that float in the water

- Kayaking: Also super fun!! my group had a race with eachother! would do it again!

All of the boating staff were super friendly, loved the experience and would recommended it to big groups!
