Oahu
My sister and I both thought the crew were very organized and awesome. We Highly recommend recommend this outing for children and adults.
All equipment is provided.
I've done alot of activities in oahu including parasailing, snorkeling, and more, but this one was the most worth it. Not only did the 4 hour excursion feel like it was over too soon, but the captain and crew felt like family. They were so informative with what we were doing and also joined us in playing in the sandbars. Lastly, my cousin has never swam let alone in the ocean and was finally able to go out and snorkel! What a epic time!
Had a great time at the sandbar. Definitely would go Again
We met at the location. The parking lot happened to be available, but I think it would be hard to find a spot if you arrive last minute.
The boat I boarded had all Japanese customers, and the guide spoke in Japanese, which made me feel at ease.
I went with my 1-year-old and 5-year-old, and we all had a great time!
My 5-year-old seemed really happy to be able to go snorkeling!
The BBQ hamburger we had on the boat was also delicious.
私たちは現地集合で行きました。駐車場はたまたま空いてましたが、ギリギリにくると見つからないかと思います。
私が乗った船はお客さんはみな日本人で、ガイドさんも日本語で話してくれるので安心しました。
1歳と5歳も一緒にいきましたが、とても楽しめました！
５歳はシュノーケリングもできて嬉しかったみたいです！
船で食べるBBQハンバーガーもおいしかったです。

I participated with my parents in their 60s, and the sandbar in Kaneohe Bay was shallow enough, so we could enjoy it without worrying about swimming! It was amazing to see sea turtles while snorkeling. The shuttle bus service to and from Waikiki was great. The BBQ burger for lunch was delicious!
60代の両親と一緒に参加しましたが、カネオヘ湾のサンドバーは水深も深くないので、泳げなくても安心して楽しめました！シュノーケリングでは、ウミガメを見ることが出来て最高でした。行き帰りの送迎バス(ワイキキ地区)が付いていてGoodです。ランチのBBQバーガー美味しかったです！

The crew was amazing! And took care of all of the customers even had a separate boat for Japanese speaking only, so thoughtful to think of them. It was so fun going out to the Sandbar, and also took us turtle watching and snorkeling! And the burger was so good after some fun in the sun! I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone looking for some good fun, good food, and good company. All of us customers had a great time playing water volleyball with each other in the Sandbar! If you’ve been thinking about doing this, just do it, it’ll be such a fun experience to include in your Hawai’i trip!
My and my family/friends were a total of 16 people. Including a 3 month baby. We had a blast!! Perfect for big groups, would 100% recommend. My parents really enjoyed their time there. My brother who doesn't know how to swim enjoyed the sandbar!! This tour is literally perfect for all ages and lifestyles. Great experience.
10 out of 10 experience ! It’s a must do if your in Hawaii !
The weather was bad, so the clarity of the sea was questionable, but the encounter rate with honu (sea turtles) was high, and I had a valuable experience. 😊
天気が悪かったので海の透明感は微妙でしたが、
ホヌ（ウミガメ）の遭遇率が高く、
貴重な体験が出来ました(^^)
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Although it was a cloudy day, we are very happy to hear that you had a great time meeting many sea turtles. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you again on your next visit.

The crew members and the musicians are so helpful, awesome and friendly!!!! Great live music!
I booked this activity for 24 of my friends and family so that we could hang out and do something fun after my wedding. The whole day was so great! The crew members were fun and helpful! Everyone in my group enjoyed the day. When I got stung by a Man-O-War, which I was warned about, the crew helped me immediately and I still had the best time!
We went with a family of 35. They had no issues accommodating our party. Everyone from the 2 year old kids to the grandmas had a blast.
5 out of 5 for the live music too!
My family had a blast this day, it surely knocked us out- its a lot of fun activities however it is a full day in the sun!!
We had a great time we had a group of 30 adults children and little children. Everyone was so kind and helpful. They help the kids paddleboard and some of us snorkel. Overall great experience! Would recommend to everyone! Thank you all! We had a wonderful time!!!
As a student, I was debating whether to go until the last minute due to the tour price, but I was so moved by the beauty of nature that I forgot all about the money. Even if you can't swim, you can hold onto something like a float, so it's reassuring, and I got to see sea turtles and many fish. I definitely recommend participating!
学生なので、ツアー料金の観点から直前まで行くか諦めるか悩んでいましたが、お金なんてどうでもよくなるくらい綺麗で自然の素晴らしさに感動しました。泳げなくても浮輪的な物に捕まって引っ張ってくれるので安心ですし、ウミガメやたくさんの魚にも会えました。
ぜひ参加してみてほしいです！！

The snorkeling went deeper than I expected, but I was able to see sea turtles, and it was a lot of fun. I would like to participate again.
シュノーケルは思ったより深い場所まで行きましたがウミガメを見る事が出来とても楽しかったです。また参加したいです。

The view is amazing, and everyone should go in the volleyball game. It is fun!
The staff on the boat were all friendly, and I was able to enjoy myself throughout the trip! There were staff members who spoke Japanese, which was reassuring. We were able to see sea turtles safely! Adults went snorkeling, and for the kids, there was something like a surfboard that allowed them to see below, so we could swim together to deeper areas. If you are moving on your own, be careful not to get confused as there are multiple tour companies at the meeting point.
船のスタッフのかたみんなフレンドリーで終始楽しむことが出来ました！日本語が話せるスタッフもいたので安心です。無事にウミガメにも会うことができました〜 大人はシュノーケリングで、子供には下が見えるサーフボードのような物があったので、一緒に深い所まで泳ぐことができました。
自分で移動する場合、集合場所に複数のツアー会社があるため、間違えないように注意が必要です。

This is a great experience for the whole family. Snorkeling, SUP, Kayaking and so much more for everyone in the family. Friendly and helpful stuff makes the fun safer and easier.
KBOS provided a great well rounded experience. Staff is very friendly and accommodating and really knew what they were doing. Various activities for all types. Would reccomend the bumper tubes and banana boats!
Staff was friendly and was an amazing experience. We enjoyed every part of it. Recommend to take nausea medicine if you’re sensitive. 2 of us did get motion sick.
Really enjoyed every single minute spent on this trip thanks to the entire crew. I really loved the live music and the snorkeling is definitely second to none!
I'm for sure will take this tour the next time I'm back to Oahu.
Pleasant time on the waves in the sun and breeze. Sadly, almost no fish, no turtles, but interesting pink and white sea cucumbers (apparently unique to Kaneohe and Pearl Harbor). Would do it again, but don't need four hours....
Aloha Tim! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure! And thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review for us. We certainly appreciate that. I'm sorry to hear that most of the marine life (except for the conspicuous sea cucumbers) was a little shy for you. Although there is a lot of marine life out there in Kane'ohe Bay, what you see is always hit or miss and involves being in the right place at the right time. But we certainly hope to see you again soon to get back out there and find some of those sea creatures! And glad to hear other than that it was still overall a good experience. Mahalo!
My boyfriend and I visited Honolulu for a week to celebrate my 30th birthday. With so much to do on the island, it can be overwhelming to choose the right excursions, especially if you’re only there a few days. This was hands-down the most fun thing we did the ENTIRE trip! The crew and captain were so accommodating and cool. It’s definitely worth the extra cost to do the banana boat or tube ride ;-)
The awesome crew, live music and activity options for the sandbar make this perfect for solo travelers, couples or even families. Do not hesitate to book!
We had so much fun!! Everyone was very friendly and the people on our boat group made it extra fun! I just wish it was longer than 3 hrs. My husband and I had a great time snorkeling! I would definitely recommend this company to anyone who wants to go to the sandbar! I love that they also allowed us to bring a cooler and drinks!
This was a great experience. The bus came to hotel exactly the time that was indicated. The location was fantastic, sea was calm.
Aloha, thank you so much for your feedback.
We're happy to know you had great time in Kaneohe Sandbar tour.
Mahalo for the compliments. Please come back again. Mahalo!
It is a lot of fun, but make sure you apply sunscreen to every inch of your body to avoid sunburn . Sunburn can be extremely uncomfortable
Overall, this experience was awesome! The sandbar was about a 3 mile kayak away from where you dock. Not super difficult, took us about 30-40 minutes to get there and once we did, it was awesome. the tide was a little high, the water went up to just below my neck and I'm 6 feet tall. We went out at 11 am. There's not much to see snorkel-wise at the sandbar, which was relayed to us by the staff setting us up. It was just a nice place to stand in the middle of the ocean and have a snack or two. They were also clear on where go on the sand bar and where the restricted zone was.
After the sandbar we went out to the coral reefs just around the corner of where we started. By then though, the sun wasn't too bright (it was a gloomy-ish day). we could only see maybe 10 feet in front of us in the water and all the fish were either hiding or just not there. Coral was nice to see and swim around though. Saw sea turtles in the distance but none in the water while we were in it. Finding the snorkel zones were actually pretty difficult. We spent about 20-30 minutes finding good spots, but there are no markers out there so I'm not even sure if we were in the spots they marked on the map. Only 2 other kayakers came to this area, tried looking around but all gave up after maybe 5-10 minutes.
Still had fun overall though, would do it again. Hopefully they add markers out of the water next time though.
Aloha Will! Thank you for joining us and for taking the time to leave this review and feedback! Stoked to hear that overall you had a good experience. And I am glad to hear our staff did a good job of describing the details of where to go and where not to go. That is important because you are correct, there aren't really any signs or many markers out there. Sadly we're not permitted to put anything like that out there. Most of the reefs only have very basic reef markers that are installed by the State's Division of Aquatic Resources, and us putting any other signs or markers out there would be strictly prohibited. And certainly the visibility can vary, but I'm glad to hear that overall it sounds like you had a good time. We hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!
We had a great time snorkeling. We saw many fishes, and 3 turtles!
Aloha, thank you so much for your feedback.
We're happy to know you saw many fishes and 3 turtles!
Please come back again. Mahalo!
Really well organized. Fun time with the whole family!
