The pick up from he hotel was seamless and boarding the cruise ship was quick. Table service was slow but the food was excellent. The sunset and following fireworks was a great experience and I would recommend this adventure
This was a great day out and suitable for families. The tour guide was knowledgeable and made it a fun day out.
This was our first experience snorkelling and it was absolutely amazing. Our reef guide Kalini made the experience so special, he was extremely knowledgeable about the fish we could see and spent time getting to know us so he could make our experience personal. There were many other activities available on the sandbar but we were having such a great time snorkelling we didn’t get around to doing anything else. I would highly recommend this activity.
This was well worth the money, amazing place, beautiful rainforest, you will get a little wet, and muddy, bring water, our driver Mathew K was great, got us there safe, had water for us at the end, would definitely do it again.
Dress appropriately, not a hike to do in slipper (flip flops) or dress/casual shoes, hiking shoes.
From our pick up in Waikiki to drop off our trip was wonderful!
The team on the catamaran was friendly , knowledgeable & fun.
We will definitely book again next time we are back .
Dan was outstanding. We had a great experience with him. He took great care of us all.
Everything about the day and evening was terrific ☺️
ROYAL STAR WAS REALLY EASY TO WORK WITH, ON TIME AND RELIABLE AND WORK GREAT FOR MY TEAM OF 26 GETTING US TO AND FROM THE AIRPORT AND HOTEL . SMOOTH RIDE AND FRIENDLY PEOPLE.
Communication was excellent from booking, to handing out equipment, to snorkeling instructions, to keeping group on-time and together, etc. I had complete confidence in the hosts' professionalism and adherence to safety protocols. Furthermore, they were personable and so interesting. The ride to/from the bay was almost as engaging as the snorkeling. The day I went the conditions were perfect: the water was clear and there were so many fish and even a turtle. Truly, the experience was wonderful from start to finish.
They were so friendly and very engaging you didn’t feel rushed or pressured! It was so relaxing and the guides did a great job pointing out cool animals on the reef we probably would have missed! Definitely worth it!
If you’re worried about this being overly commercialized, crowded, or having a crew that is just going through the motions…you’d be pleasantry wrong! This is a must do.
The best day ever crew was awesome and music was stellar Jessie!!!
None keep up the great job!!!
This luau far exceeded our expectations!
The entire show is very well put together. The ambiance is incredible. The staff was amazing. We were greeted with hospitality the entire time. The food was delicious.
Not only did we get a great show with all the dancers, fire twirling, and music, we also got the history of the culture and people behind it all.
On top of that, they also threw in humor.
It was highly entertaining!
This show is a must see! It does not disappoint!
Be sure to upgrade for the front row table seating.
I was only expecting to participate in the buffet and the show in the evening, but when I checked in, there were still about an hour left before the Polynesian exhibition closes, and the ticket included it. This definitely worth much more than how much I paid!
Check in as early as you can!
This was a great introduction to snorkeling for our apprehensive teen. Nick was fun, knowledgeable, and patient. We learned about the sealife of Oahu and had so much fun, too. Highly recommend!
The cruise was very well organized and the staff was friendly and fun-loving. My kids and I enjoyed ourselves immensely and plan to make this a continuous part of our trip to the islands.
This was a great tour and our guide was amazing. We will do this again next time we are there.
Phenomenal experience with horses, the ocean and a great group of nice people.

It was great and fun! The water was beautiful and blue.
All 6 of us loved this trip! Lots of fun, great crew, awesome music. Sunset wasn't 1too great as it was a cloudy, rainy day...but that's not your fault and we had a wonderful time anyway. Good drinks, definitely not watered down!
Perfect as it was. Wouldn't recommend kids on this trip. Should be adults only. Seriously.
This cruise beat my expectations. The food was amazing and there was so much that none of us could finish. The outlook and entertainment were fantastic. My kids even got up and danced at the end and my 15 year old daughter told me several times throughout the night how much she enjoyed herself.... a pricey outing that was worth it...
We just booked the standard package and sat on the middle deck and it was perfect
Great boat was awesome the crew was amazing good experience
Everything is good
We came to the Hawaiian Islands to celebrate our Honeymoon, and this was 1 of the excursions we had planned. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint! We had such a fun time, having the movie sites pointed out along the way to base camp. The 3 instructors that took us through the course were amazing, very attentive, asking questions about each of us, congratulating us and thanking us for coming. It did start raining 2 zip lines in, but wasn’t that bad. They kept the entire experience fun and full of entertainment. 100% recommend!
Wear shoes that don’t need socks, cause if it rains on you too you don’t want wet socks.
Wonderful driver, on time, and professional, with my party. Highly recommend them!
We thoroughly enjoyed this entire experience. The ship and crew was outstanding and the ability to do 'off shore' sandbar stopover with BBQ lunch and snorkeling was terrific. Although we had a rental car, we opted to take advantage of their transportation (a bus) and that was a real plus with door-to-door service. And although the bus was filled to capacity, on arrival they broke into two groups with two sailing vessels but stayed in tandem. The ships were in top shape and the onboard restrooms clean and stocked.
The sandbar experience was wonderful permitting amazing photos with Oahu mountains in the background. The crew was outgoing, mixing with the guests and ensuring all was safe and fun. The BBQ was ample and tasty, and the included and optional drinks wide ranging. The tour allowed plenty of time for all phases including the snorkeling...never feeling rushed with lots of time for exploration along the reef. The fish were plentiful and the coral in good condition. The crew was environmentally conscientious and took extra care in entering and existing the ship while snorkeling (with an onboard fresh water rinse afterwards). Their snorkel gear appeared new with ample numbers of swim jackets.
I highly recommend booking Captain Bob's...you won't regret it.
We went as a family of 4 with a 13 and 15 year old and all loved our day! Our tour guides were fun and informative…. We just wish we had more time to do more of the activities… we strongly recommend this tour!!!
If you can go early in the day do a few of the activities as there is so much to experience there!
This was a fun experience and the the staff was amazing! Would do this again
Hi
We had an incredible experience. Your crew was excellent. Can’t wait to go on another charter.
thanks
From start to finish, this was one of the best experiences on the island as far as tours go. We got to the parking lot and we asked some locals where to go, and they directed us to the boat, which was at the very end of the dock. When we got in the folks working on the boat were very professional and welcoming. They have live music playing, and that was excellent as well. There was plenty of seating and they had complementary water, a juice, and donuts. They also had snacks for purchase and beer. There was restrooms on the boat and lifejackets. We were given clear instructions as to what activities we could do and for that price it was great. You could kayak you could do stand-up paddleboard you could snorkel or you could pay extra to do the banana boats or the bumper boats, but I think you had to sign up for those prior to going on the trip out. The whole family had fun and we were all able to try everything with the allotted amount of time that we were out on the water. It was a great experience overall, and we recommend it to all the families that visit Oahu.
So much fun!! wish it was longer though.. Guides were very friendly and check-in was easy.
Exact directions where to park and how to find the check in. Walked around too much to find it.
