Amazing experience
Reviewed by: De Ocampo Family, 2023/09/18This is the second time going to Captain Bob’s Kaneohe Sandbar excursion. We went with friends last year and had such an amazing experience. We definitely had to take the kids to experience it. Kids had an amazing time playing volleyball and snorkeling around the reef. We even saw some turtles. Burgers were delish! The crew were professional and caring. While snorkeling my daughter was stung by two jellyfishes and the crew were so attentive to her. Major props to them. Definitely a 5 star!

Awesome experience!
Reviewed by: Kelly M, 2023/09/17We had a great time. The crew were friendly and fun, and they ensured everyone was enjoying the experience. We were lucky to see so many turtles on the sail out to the reef and then magically we saw one while snorkeling. I will never forget that experience! The reef was full of fish; one of the best snorkeling excursions we've done. The sandbar was beautiful too. I'm so glad we did this, and we highly recommend it!

Great Snorkeling Trip!
Reviewed by: Marina , 2023/07/17We had such a great time on this snorkeling trip! It was very planned, the crew was polite, accommodating and very friendly and the lunch was delicious. Our whole experience was incredibly enjoyable. Word of advice to the future participants- listen carefully to the instructions before snorkeling and you’ll see a lot under the water. We saw many fish and a turtle. It was amazing!

Really enjoyable excursion
Reviewed by: Bob, 2023/07/04If you really want to have a fun day, then this tour is for you. And, family friendly! I've done it the last 2 years and am going to book again for next year. The crew: Captain Cheyenne, and crew members Julia, Yuki, Yukiko and Cody are the best. Very friendly, and GREAT personalities.
Walking on this sandbar is an experience. And they even set up a water volleyball game. The water is perfect and the bluest I've ever seen.
After the sandbar, they fire up the grill for a nice hamburger/cheeseburger lunch with all the fixins. And they have meatless burgers also.
After lunch there is snorkeling. Due to recent knee replacement surgery I was unable to participate last year, but was able to and had a great time this year.
After snorkeling, you go turtle watching. There were plenty, and some of them are HUGE.
My one big recommendation: Bring reef friendly sunscreen because the sun will fool you. It was a bit overcast this year,, but the sun still managed to get me.

Fun Day
Reviewed by: Chris, 2023/06/29Everything was great. We saw turtles and enjoyed the reef. It was a little difficult to eat lunch on the boat as there were not really any good seats for it. But the burgers were delicious.

Best part of the trip!!!
Reviewed by: Deanna Merry , 2023/06/24Our family had an amazing time!! The crew was super friendly and fun!! The captain was great and the grill master the burgers were amazing!! Tyson was great answering our questions about the area.
Julia was funny and very informative about the area.
The drive over to the marina was absolutely amazing the view was incredible. I’ve never snorkeled before but felt super safe we saw sea turtles and all kinds of fish!! Would highly recommend this outing ️☀️ it was one of the highlights of our trip.
We thought it was really cool that some of our favorite movies were filmed around the area also.
Jurassic Park, Pirates of the Caribbean and 50 frost dates. Great memories were made for me and my kids thanks until next time Oahu. Mahalo

Definitely worth it
Reviewed by: Lane, 2023/06/17Loved that I booked it for the family. We had a fun time snorkeling. Pick up from hotel was great, liked that the shuttle bus driver looked for us since we stood on the wrong bus stop. The crew was amazing and very friendly. The co-captain lady was the best. She took her time to show us how to use the snorkel, fit our life vest, gave us drinks. The captain was super friendly as well. The water was warm and clean. The boat was clean, restrooms to use and to change in were clean. Snorkels were clean and easy to use. Burgers was the best and we even had hot chocolate at the end of the swim. They took us to the shallow area first which was great, and then the deeper area, we saw coral reefs, lots of fish, and even sea turtles. It was amazing thing to see.
Only thing is, they didn’t have enough seats to sit outside, so we stayed inside during boat ride, and towards the end of the ride, everyone was cold so mostly everyone went inside, so we had to stand, which is ok, about 10 mins only. Overall, still a very awesome trip and would definitely go again!

Must do on Oahu!
Reviewed by: Danielle Jones , 2023/06/14This is the 2nd year in a row my family and I have booked this snorkel cruise. We loved it each time. We loved being in the middle of the ocean snorkeling and being on the sand bar. We felt safe each time and had a lot of fun. The staff was wonderful and the food was great as well. Anytime we come to Oahu, Captain Bobs is our go to!

What an AMAZING trip!!!
Reviewed by: Rich and Gidget, 2023/06/05From the beginning the crew made us feel completely comfortable. The trip out to the sandbar was relaxing yet exciting at the same time as we looked back upon the shoreline admiring the greenery that the island presented. The sandbar was just breathtaking!!! It was so amazing to think that we were standing in the ocean on a beach....crazy! The cruise around afterwards presented not only some sea turtles, but two large schools of manta rays feeding on the surface.
Overall trip was completely enjoyable and we plan on bringing all of our friends and family when they visit!!!!
On a side note, parking is extremely difficult in/on the marina, so just park on the side of the highway (everyone does) and it's just a short walk to the boat.
Make this one of your excursions when you visit!!!!!

Awesome experience and wonderful Captains and guides!
Reviewed by: Jim and Natalie , 2023/06/01The activity exceeded our expectations!
The crew did a get job explaining the rules, what to expect, and why. I felt safe and they included everybody and were interactive, very friendly and personable. This was my first time snorkeling, so I was a little nervous, but they put me at ease. It was truly amazing —-we got to see the giant sea turtles!!!
I also saw at least seven or eight different fish along the reef. And I even was swimming with beautiful school of fish below me!
I like the fact that they introduced us at the sandbar and let us get warmed up to snorkeling, and we had a game of volleyball before we went to the reef. They grilled hamburgers and had barbecued beans, and it was a delicious lunch!
all in all it was a great day, and a memory I will always cherish. I highly recommend this activity and tour to anybody going to Hawaii.

Captain Bobs sandbar and snorkel
Reviewed by: Tony and Helen. , 2023/05/07We had an enjoyable day out. The weather wasn’t very favourable but the team still did an outstanding job. Lunch was cooked fresh and was very nice. We didn’t snorkel but looks like all had a great time.
The only thing I would change is we had 2 boats tied together and it made for a lot of flippers in the water, looked very crowded around the reef. I’m saying that, the team always kept their eyes on the job and communicated together at all times.
Great job done by all.

The sandbar island adventure!
Reviewed by: 329islandtours, 2023/04/29This sandbar tour was the best choice! It was so fun! They had all the gear and all we had to do was bring ourselves! They supplied the tastiest BBQ burgers with vegan options as well! Our captain was so professional, yet funny, and extremely helpful taking pictures for us, and giving us the best sandbar adventure ever! We played volleyball, snorkeled, and enjoyed cruising around the sandbar. I can't wait to go again!
Mahalo nui loa!

Amazing day at the sandbar, lots of sea turtles & snorkeling
Reviewed by: Amm, 2023/04/03Upon going to the sandbar for the first time, I decided to give Captain Bob's Kaneohe Bay a try. So glad I did because I had an amazing time on this cruise. All of the employees were super nice and made sure everyone felt safe & comfortable on the cruise. The sandbar was absolutely stunning! The crew set up a volleyball net which allowed for all of us to have a fun match of beach volleyball at the sandbar. Those that didn't want to participate were able to walk around the sandbar at their leisure. I enjoyed that this cruise was away from all of the other cruises and boats in the area. It was like we had our own secluded little area. The food was delicious and afterwards we cruised over to a reef area to snorkel. Along the way, the captain went slow to make sure we got a chance to see all of the sea turtles floating on the surface of the ocean. We saw so many of them! The area we snorkeled in was amazing. I saw so many different kinds of fish and several sea turtles that literally swim right next to us. I had an amazing time and photos to last a lifetime. If you are thinking about doing a cruise to the sandbar, look no further. Would absolutely go again!
