Worth it but ...
Reviewed by: Sara , 2016/09/01We had a great time and it's definitely worthwhile to check out the Sandbar. The water is just beautiful and great snorkelling too. Lunch was also very decent. We had hamburger and pineapples and tortilla chips on the side. The only thing that bothered us was that the Captain kept on assuming we are Japanese and that we don't speak English (given that there are a lot of Japanese tourists on the boat). He repeatedly tried to communicate with us in very broken Japanese. We look Asian, but we are Canadian and we don't understand Japanese. I always reply him in English but he keeps forgetting that we speak English. Maybe he thinks we all look the same. He loved making conversations in English with Caucasian guests, called out the non-Asian names on his list of guests, and ask them where they were from, whether they were celebrating an occasion, but made no effort to talk to us the same way. The translator, think his name was Freddie, initially assumed we were Japanese too but caught on right away that we are English speakers which was great. Other staff were very nice and helpful. Overall we did have a great time and I would recommend this, only the Captain frustrated us a little.

What an awesome trip!
Reviewed by: Steve F, 2016/07/09My wife and I went on a Thursday and had a wonderful time. There were two boats, one for English speaking people and one for Japanese speaking. When we got to the sandbar they tied the boats together and we explored the sandbar. My wife and I practiced or snorkeling skills and checked out our equipment, walked around the sandbar, and then played water volleyball. To my surprise, not many people wanted to play so my wife and I joined in. Our team consisted of us and 3 from the Japanese boat while the other team was 2 of the guides and 3 Japanese people. We may not have spoken the same language but it did remind me that laughter is a language we all share and speak. When we got back on the boat, we enjoyed a cheeseburger in paradise and were serenaded by one of the guides. We then went looking for turtles on the way to reef (we saw 3). The reef was amazing and we saw a turtle and tons of fish. After snorkeling for about 30 minutes, it was time to head back. Our final treat was seeing the original Gilligan's Island on the way back to port. We have lasting memories and it was a great time.

Nice!! Don't miss this one.
Reviewed by: MelB, 2016/04/29SANDBAR: The sandbar was a surreal experience. It was beautiful to be finally here, but like the beautiful breasts of Italian marble, there is not much one can do with the simplicity of this place, except enjoy the view. I have never been so satisfied with so little to do, but so much to visually feel.
SNORKEL: Nice experience. More fish to see than Kailua Beach area, but less fish than Hanauma Bay.
BOAT and RIDE: Nice vessel. Clean. A little crowded, but I enjoyed the variety of different cultures, their languages and behavior.
Tour Staff: They were friendly, experienced, and kept us safe.
Overall Experience: Very positive and I would recommend this tour.

Not What I Expected
Reviewed by: Howie, 2016/03/27For the amount of money we paid my fiance and I were disappointed. The boat we took out was dirty and in my opinion not well maintained. We spent less than one hour actually "Snorkeling" and that is what I was hoping for the most. The crew was nice and helpful, but I think I would not recommend this to anyone for the amount of money they charge.

Great day!!
Reviewed by: Jon Brookins, 2016/03/22Staff was very nice and helpful. We enjoyed the trip. Food was good for picnic food. It was a cold and windy day. The staff had hot chocolate, tea and coffee ready for everyone. The reef was not that great for snorkeling. Bland colors and not many fish. Watched Finding Nemo one too many times.

Best Hawaii Experience!
Reviewed by: Michelle, 2016/02/15The staff on this cruise were very respectful and down to earth. They wanted to make sure you were comfortable at every moment. I would highly recommend this cruise to anyone, Any age. When we decide to visit Hawaii again in a few years this be on our to do list. I cant remember their names, But the man that played the guitar while we were on the sand bar was awesome. Def a people person with a big heart.

Turtles Galore!
Reviewed by: Cottonsquares, 2015/09/15Saw many turtles of all sizes. There were 101 people registered for this trip when I went and 2 boats. Even though there were 101 people, the view + experience overlapped everything.
Negative part: Bathroom was very unclean so I did not use the restroom at all during the trip.
Tip: Bring hand sanitizer since it is 50 people to a boat with 1 bathroom that is questionable..
Overall: A must see.
