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

amazing cruise/tour

Reviewed by: Geraldine and family

We had a wonderful experience. The staff on our boat was very welcoming and friendly. My niece said the staff of Capt Allen were very attentive as well when they were in the water. Kudos/ mahalo to Capt Ruben for assisting us to snorkel especially since we (me n my sis in law) don't know how to swim. Our driver was energetic and friendly. He even stopped at Leonards bakery for us and made awesome food recommendations on the way. We had an overall great experience! We look forward to coming again.

Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Hawaiian Music - Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports

おすすめです!生演奏がいい!!

Reviewed by: Tomo

日本の大手ツアー会社と提携している同様のツアーが満員で予約できなかったためこちらで予約しました。
結果的に大満足でした!船は大きくてトイレや更衣室もあり、ドーナツや飲み物のサービスも嬉しかった。天気があまり良くなく、水位も高かったのですが、十分に楽しめました。海に浮かぶラウンジも思ったよりのんびり出来て良かった。バナナボートは想像以上のスピードで何度か落ちそうになりながらも後ろの知らない人が支えてくれたりしてアットホームな雰囲気でした。行き帰りのハワイアンミュージックの生演奏がとにかくいいです。上手だし、ノリノリの外国の方がいてさらに盛り上がりました。こっそり置いてあるあったかい紅茶のサービスも冷えた体には助かりました。

Kaneohe Bay Kayak & Snorkel Self-Guided Tour [Tour Not Available]

It was the highlight of my vacation!

Reviewed by: Rob M

I can’t believe it took this long for me to try this excursion. It is an activity I will add to every visit to Oahu. The experience and view is like no other. I was a little worried because I have a younger child (11 yrs old) and we have been kayaking in the past but it only took us 35 minutes to get to the sandbar. Once the rust shook off we were able to get back in 25 minutes. The people on-site were very helpful and supportive. They made sure you had everything you need snorkel equipment, life vests, and dry bags. I would suggest the eight hour if you plan to snorkel at another location outside of the sandbar. That way you can conserve your energy for paddling back.

Highlight of the family trip

Reviewed by: STB

Beautiful scenery, super kind staff, wonderful music. Tried kayak, snorkel and it was so fun. Water was so clear, I could see fish so close it was beautiful. Only thing is the time could be longer. We got to the sandbar about 9:30 and left around 12pm. I wish I could have more time so I could try other activities like volleyball and paddle board. The boat was full with over 100 people but didn’t feel like it was packed. Especially when we got to the sandbar, people were more spread out. Overall, the tour was way better than expected and definitely want to do it again!! Thank you!

I had an experience that felt like a different world! 別世界みたいな体験を楽しめた‼︎

Reviewed by: ロッキー

I was picked up by a large bus near my hotel in Waikiki and arrived at Heeia Harbor (which apparently was one of the filming locations for Pirates of the Caribbean) in just under an hour, where I boarded one of the catamarans. From there, Yukiko, a staff member from Japan, provided a thorough and reassuring guide. First, we arrived at a sandbar and practiced snorkeling in the shallow waters with white sand. In the background, we could see Kualoa Ranch, used in the filming of Jurassic Park, and Chinaman's Hat, with Yukiko taking plenty of photos against this backdrop. After playing for a while, it was lunchtime. The BBQ-style hamburgers were delicious, and eating them on the sunlit boat was the best! After the meal, the boat moved to a spot where we could see sea turtles. We encountered quite a few sea turtles and manta rays before heading to the final point. Snorkeling around a coral hill the size of a soccer field was a bit daunting for me, but I saw many fish underwater. I heard there are sea turtle nests here, but I didn't get to see them. After snorkeling, we received warm drinks and returned to port. Looking back, it felt like it went by in a flash, but I was able to experience so many new things! I enjoyed the pleasant breeze and the blue sky with the Hawaiian flag fluttering on the boat. I'm really glad I participated in this tour!

ワイキキのホテル近くで大きなバスにピックアップしてもらって1時間弱でHeei’wa(?)のハーバー(パイレーツオブカリビアンのロケ場所の一つだったらしい)に到着してカタマランの一つに乗船。ここから先は日本スタッフのユキコさんが丁寧に案内してくれて安心。まずサンドバーに到着して白砂の浅瀬でシュノーケリングの練習。後ろにはジュラシックパークの撮影で使われたクアロアランチやチャイナマンズハットが見えて、これをバックにユキコさんがバンバン写真を撮ってくれる。暫く遊んだ後はランチタイム。BBQ仕立てのハンバーガーは香ばしくて日光が降り注ぐボートの上で食べるの最高!食事の後ボートは海亀が見れるポイントへ移動。結構な数の海亀とマンタに出会えて、いよいよ最後のポイントへ。サッカーグラウンドほどの広さがある珊瑚の丘の周りをシュノーケリングするのは初めての自分にはちょっと勇気がいったけど水中には沢山の魚が見れた。ここには海亀の巣穴もあるらしいけど会えなかった。シュノーケリング終えて温かい飲み物をもらって帰港。振り返ってみるとあっという間だったけど、いろんな(しかも初めて!)体験ができて、海風にたなびくボートに掲げられたハワイの旗をなびかせる心地よい風と青い空を楽しめて最高!このツアーに参加して良かった‼︎

Best excursion ever !!

Reviewed by: Valerie Bayley

My daughter Crystal and I went to the Kaneohe sandbar on July 26. Although it started with a little rain, it didn't damper (pun intended, lol) our adventure. We were greeted by a great team on board the catamaran. Especially Jesse, such a wonderful guy. He and another band member sang and played great music to and from the sandbar. Everyone were such fun and really made us feel special. We celebrated Crystal's birthday. We even were surprised with a private tender boat ride to go see a beautiful sea turtle very close to our boat. So fantastic! Thank you all for a unforgettable day.

Great experience especially for first time or non-swimmers! We did the morning cruise and weather was a little cloudy. Pick up/drop off in Waikiki area hotels or airbnb so that was a plus. Boarded boat from harbor to the sandbar and they had snacks (chips, granola bar) and beverages on board. Saw some fishes and turtles, there was a turtle swimming right next to us!! Overall a great time!!

Kayaking

Reviewed by: Shellley

This was such a blast! My daughter and I rented a tandem canoe and spent a glorious day around the reef fields. We would come up on a drop off, drop anchor in a shallow area and then just turn on the GoPro and swim down the reef wall with the schools of fish as our guides. Many different species of fish, a few octopus, and sea snakes. We could also hear the “crackling” of the coral (which sounds like Rice Krispies in milk), which was something you can’t appreciate when you’re in large groups of people because of the noise. Amazing experience— would do it again, but be sure and bring your “reef safe” sunscreen.

The sea and scenery are incredibly beautiful, and I encountered sea turtles. 超綺麗な海と景色海亀との遭遇

Reviewed by: カープ大好きfamily

I was a bit anxious about whether the pickup location was correct since it was also the trolley bus stop and a pickup point for other tours, but I felt reassured when a staff member wearing a T-shirt that said "Angel's Sea" came to greet us.

The boat had a mix of Japanese and other nationalities, but we had a Japanese guide who provided all the explanations in Japanese, which was great. Angel's Sea was incredibly beautiful—like a different world. Standing in the middle of the ocean and being able to walk around was amazing! The weather was nice, and the contrast between the sea, mountains, and sky was stunning. Playing beach volleyball at Angel's Sea was a lot of fun. Later, during the sea turtle watching, we were able to see many sea turtles, and a manta ray even came close to the boat.

The highlight was definitely the last snorkeling session, where I encountered sea turtles and was able to swim with them. I was a bit nervous since it was my first time snorkeling, but the guide at Angel's Sea provided a briefing, and we practiced breathing and swimming, so it was fine. Even a toddler who was crying during practice was amazed by the beautiful coral and fish once we actually went snorkeling. Even if you think you can't do it, I recommend trying to get in the water just to see, as you’ll be wearing a life jacket.

On the way back, there’s time to change on the boat, so bringing a wrap towel for kids allows for changing on the deck. The air conditioning on the bus was very strong, so I think it’s better to change. The hamburger for lunch was the best one I had during this stay, as they grilled the patty right on the boat!

ピックアップ場所がトロリーバス乗り場でもあり又他のツアーのピックアップ場所でもあり此処で良いのか?と不安でしたが、天使の海と日本語で書かれたTシャツを着たスタッフが迎えに来てくれた時には安心しました。

The guide in Caprun is incredibly fun. キャプルンのガイドが激しく楽しい

Reviewed by: R&S

When we got on the tour bus, we had a very talkative guide. Of course, he spoke only in English. He introduced himself as "Captain," so I thought he was both the driver and the boss of the boat, but when I asked for his name again when we got off, it turned out to be "Caplun" (laughs).

Anyway, he introduced us to the restaurant while heading to our destination. According to him, the top recommendation is malasadas, followed by poke bowls, and then loco moco. He kept insisting that malasadas are the best (laughs). He also mentioned that having yakitori with beer is the best, which made me think that no matter the country, older men seem to enjoy the same things. I dozed off a bit and before I knew it, we arrived at our destination.

Since there was no place to change on the boat, we promised to wear our swimsuits underneath and quickly stripped down to head into the sea!

Originally, sandbars appear in areas where the tide goes in and out, but this time, due to high tide, the water was up to our waists. The clarity of the water was absolutely amazing.

While many people were playing and swimming in the shallow areas, the best spots to see marine life were a bit deeper with coral. One gentleman was trying hard to hold onto a float and keep up with us but gave up halfway.

We continued on. While we could see to some extent with our eyes, the sand and possibly plankton made it hard to see beyond about 7 meters.

Unfortunately, we didn't get to see any honu (sea turtles), and feeling a bit down, our Japanese-speaking guide said we still had time to take a break and try again! He mentioned that since the wind was picking up, it would be better to stay a little closer to shore.

We returned to the boat, but by this point, my body was starting to get cold. In fact, it felt warmer in the water, but I was tempted by snacks and returned to the boat.

We were able to enjoy free drinks like coffee, canned juice, apples, and snacks. About the Cheetos, they actually taste a bit different from the ones in Japan. The American version has a stronger cheddar flavor and is saltier, making it quite addictive (laughs).

I was so cold that I wrapped myself in a pool towel while eating (laughs). Once I settled down a bit on the boat, we tried again!

The second time, the water felt colder. I had brought fins, so I was able to swim quite easily, but my wife said she didn't need them, and I think she probably used up a lot of energy...

After swimming back and forth in the coral area a couple of times, someone on the boat shouted, "There it is! A sea turtle!" We dashed over and got our cameras ready! The weather was great, but I couldn't see the display! The water was quite murky, but I pressed the shutter anyway!!!

Both my wife and I were able to see the wild honu clearly. They say the sea god brings good fortune, so I hope something good happens!

Our excitement skyrocketed, and we were instructed to return as we had only five minutes left. After getting back on the boat, we left the sandbar.

Finally, we took a picture of the beautiful scenery.

When we returned to shore, our high-energy guide Caplun handed us a business card for ordering malasadas online (laughs). He really loves them!

Then we headed to Leonard's for the second time on this trip. It was indeed delicious, so we bought more. We were instructed not to eat in the car but outside, so I asked if it was okay to take it home. He passionately insisted, "Hot is the best! Trust me!!" (laughs). When I mentioned that I had already tried the original malasada here the other day, he smiled widely and said, "Well, that's good! OK, OK."

On our way back, it started to rain again, and we saw a rainbow. Is it really this heavy during a downpour?

Then it was time to get off near our hotel. I told Caplun that his introduction was very entertaining and gave him a tip, ending the tour!

Back in our room, I had chocolate, and my wife had custard, sharing a bite each. The order was 1. Original, 2. Cho

ツアーバスに乗ると、なんともよく喋るガイドさん。もちろん英語のみ。キャプテンと言っていたので、運転手兼船のボスかと思っていましたが、帰りの下車時に再度お名前を聞いたら、キャプルンさんでした(笑)
とにかく、レストランの、紹介をしながら目的地へ。
彼いわく1番はマラサダ。2番はポケ丼。3番目がロコモコ。
とにかくマラサダかうまいと何回も推してました(笑)
焼き鳥片手にビールも最高みたいなこと言ってたのでどの国もおっさんの好きなものは一緒なのかと思いつつうたた寝をしていたら目的地へ。

ボートの中では着替える場所がないので下に水着を着てくる約束で、素早く脱ぎ捨ていざ海へ!

もともとサンドバーは潮の満ち引きで砂場が現れる地帯ですが、今回は満潮のため腰までしっかり水が。
透明度は素晴らしくクリアでした。

多くの方が浅瀬で遊んで泳いでるところ、生き物がたくさん見れるポイントはやや深くサンゴがあるところです。
1名オジサマが頑張って浮きに掴んで付いてこられてましたが途中で断念。

私達は続行。目視だとある程度は見えますが、砂埃やプランクトンかな?7m程度先は見えなくなります。

残念ながらホヌ様に会えずしょんぼりしていたら、日本語のできるガイドさんが、まだ時間があるので休憩して再チャレンジしていいよ!
今は風が強くなってきてるから少し開けたほうが良いとのこと。

一度船に戻るんですが、このあたりで身体が、冷えだす。むしろ海に浸かっていたほうが暖かったのですが、お菓子につられて一度帰還。

コーヒー等の飲み物や缶ジュース、りんごにお菓子はフリーで頂けました。
チートスについて、実は日本のとは少し味が違う。アメリカのはチェダーっぽさが強く塩っ気が強めなのでかなり中毒性があります(笑)

私は寒くてプールタオルをかぶって食事(笑)
ボート上で少し体が落ち着いたところで再度チャレンジ!

2回目のほうが海が冷たく感じました。
私はフィンも持参していたため、結構楽に泳げましたが、妻は要らないとのことでしたがおそらくかなり体力を消費したことかと…

そしてサンゴ地帯2往復くらいしたら、ボートからあそこにいるよ!シータートルだ!!と声が!!ダッシュでかけつけカメラを準備!
天気が良くてディスプレイは見えない!
水もかなり濁ってしまっているがとりあえずシャッター!!!

妻も私も肉眼でしっかり野生のホヌ様にお会いできました。成功へ導いてくれるといわれる海の神様。良いことが起きるといいなぁ。

ふたりともテンションが跳ね上がって残り5分だから戻ってと指示を受け、船へ戻ってからサンドバーをあとにします。

最後に良い景色をパシャリ。

岸へ戻ると、またもやハイテンションのキャプルンさん。
マラサダのオンラインオーダーの名刺を渡してくれました(笑)どんだけ好きやねん。

そして今回の旅2回目のレナーズへ。確かに美味しかったのでまた買いました。
車の中では食べないで外で食べてくれと指示が出ていたので、持ち帰りしてもよいか?と聞くと
ホットが一番うまい!トラストミー!!と熱弁(笑)実は先日ここでオリジナルマラサダを食べたから知ってるよというとめっちゃニコニコで、それならいいんだ!OKOKと。

そして帰路に雨がまたもや降り、なんと虹が。
スコールってこんなに降るもんなのか?

そしてホテル周辺で降りる時がきて、キャプルンにイントロダクションがとても面白かったとおつたえしてチップをお渡ししツアー終了!

部屋に戻り私はチョコ、妻はカスタードを食べ一口ずつ分け合いましたが
1.オリジナル 2チョコ 3カスタードの順でした。カスタードは独特な香りがします。
チョコはかなり濃厚で少しビター。シナモンシュガーが使われていました。

英語のみのツアーでしたが日本語ができる方もいたので助かりました!
でも皆さんフランクでとても楽しいツアーでした!次はホヌさんもっと近くでみたいなぁ!!

I was able to see sea turtles! 海亀見れました!

I went three years ago, but since I'm not good at swimming, I gave up on snorkeling. The staff at that time seemed to suggest that people who can't swim shouldn't do it. This time, I went with my husband and decided to challenge myself, but it was still a bit scary... At that moment, a staff member encouraged me to hold onto the board. I was able to see fish and even encountered a sea turtle. I was able to get my revenge from three years ago. Thank you very much.

3年前にも行ったのですが泳ぎが苦手なのでシュノーケリングは諦めました。その時のスタッフさんは泳げない人はやらないでって感じでした。
今回は夫と行ったので挑戦したのですがやはり少し怖い…そんな時にスタッフのお姉さんがボードに捕まって良いと声をかけてくれました。
お魚も見れたし、海亀にも出会えました。
3年前のリベンジが出来ました。
本当にありがとうございました。

We participated with two adults and two children aged seven. Since we can't speak English, we hoped there would be Japanese staff, and we were pleased to find that there were indeed Japanese staff members. The explanations for activities like snorkeling were provided separately in Japanese and English, which made us feel very comfortable participating.

In particular, Yukiko, the Japanese staff member, was very kind to us. Thank you very much.

We were thrilled to see many turtles from the boat, and during snorkeling, we were lucky enough to encounter a turtle and swim together for a while. The hamburgers for lunch were also very delicious.

It was truly a satisfying tour. If we have the opportunity, we would love to participate again.

大人2人と7歳の子供2人で参加しました。
英語が話せないので日本の方が居ればいいなぁ〜と思い参加しましたが、ちゃんと日本人スタッフもいて、シュノーケリングなどの説明も日本人と英語圏の方と分けての説明がありとても安心して参加できました。
中でも日本人スタッフのユキコさんにはとても良くしていただきました。
ありがとうございます。
船の上からたくさんの亀に会えて大興奮の後のシュノーケリングでも、運良く亀に会えてしばらく一緒に泳ぐことができました。
ランチのハンバーガーもとても美味しかったです。
本当に大満足のツアーでした。
また、機会がありましたら参加したいと思います。

  • 沢山の亀に会えました

I was able to see a lot of sea turtles! The beautiful ocean and comfortable water temperature reminded me of my student days, and I was captivated by the fish, coral reefs, and the turtles. My three daughters, who were experiencing ocean leisure for the first time, initially said they couldn't touch the bottom, but they quickly got used to it and had an amazing time. We got plenty of great photos.

You need to take off your shoes when boarding. It's barefoot inside the boat. The luggage storage is just a case-like area, so it's best not to leave valuables behind. While you're having fun, you can come and go freely even without staff around, so self-management is important. The only money you'll need is for tips; there was also a paid shower, but we didn't have time to change and ended up getting on the shuttle bus in our wet swimsuits. We did put down a towel, but no one said anything about it.

The explanations are in English, but there are staff members who speak Japanese well, which is reassuring.

When the wind blew the float away, the staff went to retrieve it, and during snorkeling, we moved in groups with staff, so it felt safe, and they pointed out the turtle spots. The snacks on the boat were a nice treat during breaks. Although I didn't use it, there was also a restroom on board. Of course, you can use the parking lot restroom before boarding. It was a lot of fun.

ホヌ、たくさん見れましたよ!
きれいな海と水温も心地よく、50代の私も学生の頃を思い出して水中の魚や珊瑚礁、ホヌさんに夢中でした。海レジャー初体験の娘3人も、初めは足がつかない〜って言ってましたが、すぐに慣れてめちゃくちゃ楽しめました。いい写真いっぱいです。

乗船の時に履き物脱ぎます。船の中は裸足です。
荷物置き場は衣裳ケースみたいなものに入れて置くだけなので、貴重品できるだけ置いて行かない方がいいです。遊んでる間、休憩したりとスタッフいなくても出入り自由なので自己管理を。
お金を使うのはチップくらいで有料シャワーもあったようですが、私たちは着替える時間なくて送迎車に濡れたままの水着で乗りました。いちおうタオルひきましたが、特に何も言われないです。

説明は英語ですが、日本語上手なスタッフもいて安心です。

風で浮き輪が流された時も、スタッフが取りにいってくださったり、シュノーケリングもかたまって移動し、スタッフも一緒なので、安心だし、ホヌポイント教えてくれます。
船のお菓子も休憩時にはうれしかったです。
利用してませんが船上にお手洗いもついてましたよ。もちろん、乗船前に駐車場トイレに行けます。
楽しかったです。
