Hawaii
If we ever return to Hawaii, this is the tour that my family and I would do again! Thank you so much to the wonderful staff who took care of us and kept us safe.
Mike and his crew were absolutely the best hosts! They made sure everything was safe and everyone was having a good time. You can tell they love what they do. They are very welcoming and helpful. They interact with their guests on the sandbar and at the reef. It was our first experience on a sandbar and they helped make it very memorable! They offer to take pics for you, they BBQ, and offer drinks (alcohol and nonalcoholic). We will definitely book this cruise again next time we come! Hopefully Mike, Ruth and their crew are available!
Everything about this tour was well worth my time and money. Very happy with the experience!
- Everything was great everyone had a good time.
- We enjoyed the options, it was more of a free time at the sand bar situation. If you don't want to snorkel, they leave you at the boat. But, you'll still have access to the SUP and floaties to play at the sand bar. I spent some extra time with the SUP and tossed a football around with some other guys. You can walk around the sandbar and take more pictures. Someone is always around to make sure everything is ok.
- wife went snorkeling, they kindly ask about your swimming abilities and if you're a weaker swimmer they'll keep an eye on you. I also noticed they proactively hover around families with kids incase they needed help.
Everyone felt safe and comfortable the entire time.
Aloha and Mahalo for your feedback! We look forward to seeing you in the near future.
After much research about all the different snorkeling excursions we decided to go with this one. Overall the entire experience was great. Captain Bob , Mike and the rest of the crew were extremely accomodating and courteous. The food hit the spot and the service was great.. This excursion even included transportation to and from hotel at No additional cost. I would definitely do this again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a snorkeling adventure.
The scooter was a blast! You also have to try the Seabob out as well. Was not expecting it that but glad I added to our trip. The crew was hands da bomb! Thanks!!
My friend and I had an absolutely wonderful time. I have never snorkeled before but the staff were so kind and helpful, and I was able to snorkel for the first time! It was such a great experience. Bring sunscreen!
We had the time of our life at Captain Bobs sandbar your. The staff was friendly and very knowledgeable about the area surrounding the sandbar. We also were able to swim with the turtles when we went snorkeling!! I would definitely go again and it was worth every penny!! Please don’t miss out on this tour
Our family of eight adults had a terrific time on Captain Bob’s Kaneohe Bay sandbar excursion! Thank you crew, you all were wonderful! We would definitely to this again!
This was one of the top experiences we had while in Hawaii. Crew was awesome and the sandbar was just amazing. Huge plus that it was so organized and there was so many amenities (floaters, snorkel gear, snacks and drinks too). They sent out a list of things to remember to bring which is super helpful as well. Highly recommend.
Aloha Cassidy, Thank you very much for the compliments.
Great way to experience the sandbar. Always wanted to go, but didn’t have any way to get there. Fun playing volleyball and snorkeling. Drinks on board was a plus. Loved the fact that the burgers we had on board were cooked on the grill they had on the boat and weren’t dry.
My kids loved it. We would definitely do it again!! Everyone was so nice and friendly. Loved Yuki.
Me and my husband spent a week in Waikiki and didn't plan much, expecting that we could Uber or walk or just find things to do. It wasn't that easy or cheap we soon found out that we should have preplanned our trip better. We found the this activity online and they had availability next day! The crew on Bob's were funny and friendly. The tour itself was breath taking. I would definitely recommend going on this if you want a chance to see the sand bar and get to snorkel in one of the best reefs I've ever seen. My goal of swimming with sea turtles was made real with this tour.
This was one of the best day excursions during our stay in Honolulu. The bus ride to the bay is very comfortable and picks you up right at the time they are supposed to. The staff on the cruise is very helpful as well. If you haven’t ever snorkelled, they are more than willing to help you, teach you and even go with you. The BBQ is delicious and vegetarian options are easily available. They even did a perfect BBQ when it rained on the sea when we were out. Only goes out to say that the staff is super dedicated and professional. The sand bar is a nice place to play volley ball and the snorkeling spot is nice as well. Highly recommended.
The highlight for us was the sandbar!! It was safe and we met many wonderful people too!
Glad that we chose this tour. Captain and the crew were super helpful throughout the trip. They know the best spots for snorkeling and of sandbar. They went beyond and helped me learn snorkeling. Would definitely book this tour again whenever we want to go to sandbar.
Had a great time on the sand bar and snorkeling! The staff was extremely kind and entertaining. Would (and already have) highly recommend this to friends! Will definitely be on our list of must dos next time we are there.
This was the best excursion ever. Staff was amazing
I was able to book a couple days in advance. It turned out tobe one of the most enjoyable days in oahu!! The staff made sure both my mom and I were comfortable the entire time. Mike checked in with us throughout the day and spent extra time showing my mom the basics of snorkeling. The lunch was fantastic too! I recommend this as a must do. If you want to see sea turtles and experience a beautiful sandbar with amazing views do this excursion. You won't be disappointed!!!
Everything was just amazing. Worth every single penny. The crew was so attentive, detailed, helpful, caring, and so much fun! I was the only one with kiddos and pregnant and they checked in on us constantly and helped without asking. Food was amazing. Loved everything about it!
that was an awesome tour ! The crew are very nice and helpful! I was very sacred of the ocean and Jason, our tour guide helped me get the best experience ever by assisting me with snorkeling and being by my side all the time.
Hats down to Capt. Jason. Always the best! Mahalo!
Captain Robin was incredibly nice and patient with our party and has great knowledge of the area! We had an amazing time and wish we could’ve spent every day of our trip on this boat!
Aloha Sera, on behalf of Capt. Robin, we would like to thank you for this amazing wonderful review.
Went on captain bobs back in 2016 when I visited Hawaii and I just had to take my party this time around. Definitely will recommend to everyone I know and will be sure to book captain bobs again on my next trip to Oahu!
The staff is super friendly and they make your experience better than you would expect! The food is great and the drinks are great!
My family and I had such a great time. The staff were fun, knowledgeable, and friendly. We saw lots of sea turtles and fish while snorkeling. So many fun memories were made.
Aloha and Mahalo for your feedback! Hoping to see you folks again in the near future.
Crew and staff of Cap'n Bruce's were amazing and welcoming, making everyone from kids to adults feel safe and comfortable, was so fun! The sandbar is exceptional and shouldn't be missed. I was surprised at how uncrowded it was. Highly recommended.
Aloha Lesley, these are such a great photos of sandbar! Thank you so much for taking the time to write this wonderful review of yours. We hope to see you again and Mahalo for choosing Captain Bruce tour
The experience was far better then we could have imagined. This tour was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Everyone was so nice and did a great job at guiding and explaining everything. You truly get to enjoy every moment and not feel rushed. We were super surprised we got to see so many sea turtles, we were not expecting to see any so that was such a nice surprise. I would highly recommend this tour.
My Family and me enjoy the sand bar tour , they treatbus like family , they teach my husbund how to do paddleing board , help my son snorkle. We love it definitely caming back..
Aloha Blanca Family, thank you so much for choosing Captain Bruce tour! We are very pleased to hear the whole family had a great time at the sandbar. Mahalo for your great review and we decently look forward to having your family again onboard!
We heard about this activity through an acquaintance, so I looked into it. I have been on Oahu 8+ times and have never done this activity. Highly recommend this activity as it was easy check in at the dock. The ride to sandbar itself was a quick ride on the boat. Staff were very friendly and you are able to bring your own alcoholic drinks onto the sandbar. Enjoyed our time snorkeling and hanging out in the sandbar itself. Very unique experience!
Mahalo Minh for your feedback! We are very pleased to hear that you had a great time at the sandbar. Mahalo and next time you'll be in Oahu , we look forward to having you onboard again and sailing to sandbar!
Will do it again. Too many great things: safe, standing paddle, snorkeling, turtles, ….
Aloha Tnl, thank you so much for joining with the Captain Bruce tour. We put customer's safety first and glad that you enjoyed your time at sandbar with snorkeling and paddle boarding! We hope to see you again in the near future
The crew was great. The website said to bring snacks and drinks which we did but they had some on the boat for all which was a plus. The water was high tide and not so clear. We were hoping. the coral and water would be much clearer. Not captains fault. The only thing thing that we did not like was the boat did not have flippers. Snorkeling gear should have flippers. You can get around better. We did see some turtles even though the water was murky.
Aloha MIA, mahalo for sailing with Captain Bruce and sharing your review. We're sorry to hear that weather and also provided snorkeling gears didn't include fins. We hope you enjoyed your time at the sandbar and we look forward to having you onboard with us again in the future!
