Such a fun experience

Family of 5 had a blast. Tour guides were awesome. Felt safe the entire time. We arrived to the sandbar to other guides with SUP, floaties and little floats for my 3 year old to snorkel which was a nice surprise. Would 100% recommend to anyone. Afterwards we enjoyed some Dole Whip at the pier.

This was an AMAZING experience. The crew and the musicians were all super friendly. The sandbar itself was fantastic and absolutely gorgeous. The three primary activities: snorkeling, paddleboarding, and kayaking were all very enjoyable. There was ample time to try out and enjoy each activity at our leisure. During kayaking, we even got to see a sea turtle gliding along the sandbar! Overall, it was an incredible experience and I would definitely do it again.

We absolutely loved the crew. They were friendly, helpful, and seemed to genuinely enjoy their job. The singers were fantastic and entertaining. The Sandbar was gorgeous. There were so many fun things to do and explore once at the Sandbar. It was perfect for our entire family which included young kids, adults, and grandparents. Definitely recommend!

I attended this cruise with my mother and grandmother, and we all had an absolute blast! The crew members were extremely kind and personally assisted my mother and grandmother throughout the entire snorkeling experience. The music was also such a nice touch, and I loved the energy. Definitely recommend this experience to anyone visiting the area! Busing from Waikiki only takes about an hour or so.

My friend and I had an amazing time. We actually live in Oahu but wanted to do something fun. We were not disappointed! Staff was friendly and attentive. They had local musicians play on our way to and from the sandbar. Lunch was served as soon as we settled in. Ham&turkey croissants, variety of chips and fresh pineapple. So many activities to do, kayaking, SUP, volleyball and staff throwing football around. I tried SUP for the first time. The staff was on hand to give us direction/instructions. They had a life guard on the sandbar at all time.
I cannot wait to have friends visit so I can take them on this excursion.

would definitely do again
Activity Date: 2022/01/25 | Posted on: 2022/02/25

This might have been the highlight of my trip. I don't normally like tourist excursions, but this is something I'd be willing to shell money out for. The staff was so nice, welcoming, and caring. The live entertainment was amazing. I hope they're available to do weddings, because they were really talented. It was such an unexpected cherry on top. I loved the diversity of activities available as opposed to having to kayak out to the sandbar, because then you're limited to just one activity. The food wasn't anything to write home about, but the pre-cut pineapple slices were juicy, delicious, and a great snack to have. Anyway, my friends and I have already decided we would probably book again in the future. The sandbar itself is beautiful out there, but going out on a boat makes it a lot more fun. Unsure about the snorkeling aspect b/c would prefer to do that activity elsewhere, so not sure if anyone saw anything.

Outstanding experience and amazing views from the Sandbar! Worth the kayaking effort
Activity Date: 2022/02/16 | Posted on: 2022/02/21

We did the morning 8am half day tour. It was around a mile long kayaking route but felt very easy with the mesmerizing views. We also saw some turtles, sea cucumbers on the way to the Sandbar. It was a bit windy but the ocean was calm and there were no large waves. Hands down best place for Kayaking with rewarding views and also nice place to snorkel around the reefs!

Kayaking Kaneohe Bay and snorkeling along the various reefs was one of our favorite things from our stay on Oahu. Staff was friendly, patient, and helpful. Gave us some good tips of where to go and what to see in the bay. We would definitely do this again.

Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkeling Tour & BBQ Lunch with Waikiki Pickup
Perfect package!
Activity Date: 2022/02/09 | Posted on: 2022/02/16

This was an especially fun day with the crew we were assigned. They encouraged us to play volleyball at the sandbar which was super fun even though I was one of the weak links and a reluctant player. I am so glad they promoted this activity and included everyone who was willing to join in.

We saw so many turtles of all sizes from small to very large. They were up close and amazing. This was one of the highlights of our entire trip to Hawaii. We also snorkeled at one of the reefs. Although the snorkeling wasn't the best, we found that was true at all our attempts at snorkeling on Oahu on this trip. We did see some schools of fish and it was fun getting into the water and searching.

The food was great and the people and crew made the whole day special and memorable. I will do this tour again if I ever return to Oahu! I highly recommend this tour.

Good fun and even better hospitality

You may find a lot of tour to the sandbar but none compares to these guys. They are fun, customer-oriented, careful and outgoing, all at the same time. You are taken care of right from the moment you checkin with them at the harbour till they drop you back. They have plenty of lifeguards, people helping you in the water, teaching you kayaking/paddle boating/snorkelling/banana boating etc.
BONUS: great donuts and live music. A MUST DO IN OAHU.

MOST AMAZING BOAT CREW EVER
Activity Date: 2022/02/10 | Posted on: 2022/02/12

This was by far the most amazing boat ever! The vibes were everything! Everything was clean and the sandwiches were tasty. I loved the entertainment and the water activities. This was by far the chillest crew ever. No one felt rushed because all the activities are in one spot. I highly recommend doing the bumper or banana boat activity! I’m already planning to book for when my fiancée comes in town!

Sandbar Excursion
Activity Date: 2022/02/03 | Posted on: 2022/02/11

My boyfriend and I did this excursion on a Thursday morning. There were less than 10 people on the excursion. It was very intimate and all of the staff were outstanding. We snorkeled, canoed, stand up paddle boarded, and soaked up the sun. It was a great experience and the highlight of our trip. The sandbar was stunning and we also saw a turtle while snorkeling.

Our group of 5 had an amazing time. The crew was attentive, interactive, and fun! The live music was absolutely beautiful and when they were not singing, the music selections were great. The only issue we had was that we wanted to go again the following day but they were closed. 10 out 10 experience and the price was very reasonable.

Once is not enough
Activity Date: 2022/02/04 | Posted on: 2022/02/06

This was the highlight of our brief stay in Hawaii. My only regret is not having done this sooner. And after having experienced it, I can’t wait to do it again when I come back to Oahu. I love snorkeling, but two of the things that I was apprehensive about were deep waters and catamaran rides because I sometimes get motion sickness. But the catamaran ride and the live music were so smooth, I enjoyed the ride. The singers had amazing voices, and their island songs put everyone in a relaxed mood. The crew were very informative and helpful, even the most novice person felt at ease. We swam in deep waters, but I felt safe because a crew member was always nearby and kept a close eye on everyone. I didn’t get to see more that one giant turtle who was luckily resting at the time; otherwise, I probably wouldn’t have seen any. But I still had a great time seeing fishes, paddle boarding, kayaking, and just relaxing in the calm waters. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
