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

Snorkel Adventure

Reviewed by: PDouble

The family and I (including 9 and 6 yo) accompanied Captain Bruce Tour Company to snorkel at Kaneohe Bay. This was money well spent, especially considering the length of time provided for snorkeling and paddleboard equipment. The masks seemed clean and properly sanitized, the boat captain provided clear instruction and had sufficient staff on board and in the water to assist participants. Staff also knew where to find sea life, including turtles. Overall, excellent trip and value. A word of caution -- be alert for jelly fish.

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

Amazing!!

Reviewed by: Randilee

This was a phenomenal experience. The guides were great and the environment was beautiful. I want to give a shout out to Captain Robin who helped me overcome my extreme fear of snorkeling. I really wanted to be able to snorkel but I’m scared of deep water. He worked with me and another woman who couldn’t swim and we were both able to enjoy ourselves and see so many fish and turtles. He was incredibly patient and kind and I’m so grateful!

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

Excellent snorkeling trip

Reviewed by: Tara

This was a very organized snorkeling trip. Only 5 captains are allowed to go to the sandbar. Stunning scenery in the sandbar. Our kids played volleyball and we drank beer! We got back on the boat and ate a delicious lunch of hamburgers. Then headed out to snorkel. On the way we saw several sea turtles. The snorkeling was along a coral reef and we saw many cool fish and another turtle. One of the workers took my 12 year old out and helped her snorkel. She was sacred to go out. That was very impressive! I would definitely recommend this company! Everyone had a great time!!

Memorable Morning

Reviewed by: John

What a fun way to spend half a day. The musicians on the ride out to the sandbar were very entertaining. Once we got to the sandbar we especially enjoyed snorkeling and hanging out on the floating dock. Feel free to take a cooler (with booze if you so choose)! Grabbed a breakfast sandwich from a little shop right next to the boat and it was delish.

Check the tide before booking the trip. You can only walk around in shallow water that Sandbar is known for on a low tide hour. If you want to snorkel or ride kayak then this trip will make you happy.

Super fun vibe

Reviewed by: ksoukup

Very fun vibe. Crew was fun and helpful. The live music was spectacular. We loved snorkeling! It was nice that you could do activities whenever you wanted and for how long you wanted. We did the afternoon and got our lunch as we boarded and it was good. Tide was higher, so we couldn't play volleyball but we got to go tubing and it was perfect for snorkeling. If you want a lower water level/less waves at the sand bar, I would say do the morning but we liked sleeping in and it was perfect for us as a couple. Families seemed to really enjoy it as well. I was really looking forward to this excursion and it met my high expectations for sure! Book it!

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>

Global warming... 地球温暖化…

Reviewed by: マーチャン

Perhaps due to the impact of the hurricane, the place we arrived at by bus was cloudy. However, when we reached the sandbar, the sun came out and it was fantastic. Morning is definitely the best time.

On the boat, there were free drinks and snacks, so even if I got tired during snorkeling, I could come up and take a break.

Even for someone like me who isn't good at swimming, it was fine.

This was my second time, but I still can't help but worry about the rising water levels...

ハリケーンの影響か、バスで着いた所は曇り。
でもサンドバーまで行くと太陽が出てきて最高でした。やはり午前が良いですね。

船上はフリードリンク、スナック菓子でシュノーケリングの途中で疲れても上がって休憩できました。

泳ぎが苦手な私でも大丈夫でしたよ

2度目でしたが、やはり気になるのは水位の上昇ですね…

I'm thrilled to have this ocean so close! このな海が身近にあるとは感激!

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。

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。
