Went for spring break and had an amazing time. SHOUT OUT TO CALEB NICOLE AND NOAH they were an awesome and attentive crew! Definitely would recommend, we saw at least 2 different turtles and a whole bunch of different schools of fish. The boat was super nice and we got nice pictures. we had perfect snorkeling weather too!

Embarking on the snorkeling and kayaking adventure at Sanbar was an unforgettable experience that truly encapsulated the essence of exploring nature's underwater marvels while enjoying the serene beauty of the open waters. The crystal-clear waters offered an unobstructed view of vibrant marine life and mesmerizing coral formations, making the snorkeling experience nothing short of magical. Each moment spent underwater felt like being in a different world, surrounded by a kaleidoscope of colors and life.
The kayaking segment of our adventure was equally impressive. Paddling through the calm waters with the sun casting a golden hue over the landscape was incredibly peaceful and allowed for a unique perspective of the Sanbar's picturesque coastline. The kayaks were well-maintained and easy to maneuver, making the experience enjoyable for both beginners and experienced kayakers alike.
What truly made the experience stand out was the exceptional guidance and support from the staff. Their expertise and passion for the marine environment were evident, as they pointed out interesting flora and fauna, ensuring we didn't miss any of the hidden gems beneath the waves or along the shore.
Overall, the snorkeling and kayaking experience at Sanbar is a must-do for anyone looking to immerse themselves in the beauty of nature, whether underwater or gliding on the surface. It's an ideal adventure for those seeking tranquility, excitement, and a deeper appreciation for the natural world.
Mahalo for your great review and beautiful picture! -Team KBOS

I was inspired to participate after seeing a former professional baseball player use this service on a TV program during his trip to Hawaii.
I was picked up at the hotel and arrived at the port while enjoying the view of the steep cliffs on the way to Kaneohe Bay. After using the restroom next to the parking lot, I took off my shoes and boarded barefoot.
We moved while observing heart-shaped coral reefs and honu, anchoring near the activity boat displaying the international A flag. Due to the spring tide, the morning tour had lower tides, but it was fully booked. The water depth was about 90 cm. Although the sun was out, the waves and current from the offshore wind felt strong.
I snorkeled with my wife and was able to see the coral, honu, and fish beautifully. Stand-up paddling (SUP) was more challenging than I expected.
On the boat, I enjoyed coffee, apples, and spam while chatting with a female staff member about her trip to Japan, and before I knew it, it was time to return to the port. She pointed out my eye color and told me I have hazel eyes, which led to an interesting discussion about mixed genetics. (We also laughed about what the lesson from Urashima Taro might be.)
After boarding the bus, I realized I couldn't find the belt where I had put my cash. I searched with a staff member who also had hazel eyes named Franky. I was about to give up when I saw Franky desperately searching even in the restroom trash can, and then I noticed something at my neck... Sorry, it was there all along.
We arrived safely at the hotel. Thank you so much!!!
I wanted to try the malasadas from Leonard's Bakery, which the shuttle driver highly recommended, but there wasn't enough time to stop.
I recommend everyone bring marine shoes, a waterproof case for your smartphone, and a hoodie.
Thank you so much to all the staff. See ya!
TV番組で元プロ野球選手が、ハワイに行った際に利用したのを観たのが参加するきっかけとなりました。
ホテルでピックアップされ、カネオヘ湾に向かう途中の急峻な崖を観ながら港に到着。駐車場脇のレストルームで用を足し、シューズを脱いで裸足で乗船。
ハートマークの珊瑚礁、ホヌを観ながら移動、国際A旗が掲げられているアクティビティー船近くに錨泊。
大潮で条件としては朝のツアーの方が、潮が引いていたのですが、予約が埋まっていました。水深90CMくらいかな。日光は出ていましたが、沖からの風で波、潮の流れがきつい様に感じました。
妻と一緒にシュノーケリング。珊瑚、ホヌ、魚を綺麗に観られました。
SUP 思った以上に立ってパドリングするのは難しかったです。
船の上でコーヒー、りんご、スパムを食べ女性スタッフと、日本に旅行しに行った話しをしていたら、あっといううまに帰港の時間。瞳の色に着目され自分がヘーゼルだと教えてもらい、遺伝子がミックスされる事が面白いという思考が有るのを教えてもらいました。(あと、浦島太郎の教訓はなんだろうって事も笑)
バスに乗車後キャッシュを入れたベルトが見当たらない事に気づき、その女性スタッフと同じヘーゼルの瞳を持つ FRANKYと一緒に探してもらいました。見つからないので、諦め掛けていましたがFRANKYがトイレのゴミ箱まで開け必死に探している姿をみたとき、何気に自分の首元に視線が、、、、、ごめんなさい。有りました。
事なき得て無事ホテル着。 本当にありがとう!!!

I heard that a wetsuit is essential for the ocean in Hawaii during winter, so I thought it would be convenient to have it included in the tour price without any additional fees. Since I was a beginner in both Hawaii and snorkeling, I hoped for a tour without needing to rent a wetsuit. We went at a leisurely pace and had an incredibly valuable experience, going to very deep spots. The kids seemed to be impressed as well, saying they were scared but excited to see the fish!
冬のハワイの海はウエットスーツ必須ですよ、とのことだったのでもう先にツアー料金に組み込んで頂き、追加料金の発生が無いと便利だなと思った。ハワイもシュノーケルも初心者だったため、ウエットスーツは頼まずツアー希望していた。ゆっくりペースでとても深いところまで行ったりしてすごく貴重な体験をした。子供達も印象的だったようで、怖かったけどお魚さん見れた!と興奮していた。

Although it's called a sandbar, it seems that it only becomes a sandy beach for a few days a year.
In the deepest part, it's about 1 meter deep, I think.
It's nice to be able to enjoy relaxed marine leisure activities in the sea.
There were also some foreigners who brought beer and other drinks (on boats and floating islands).
It doesn't feel like marine sports, so I was able to enjoy it leisurely while taking in the beautiful scenery.
サンドバーとはいうものの、実際に砂浜になるのは年数日だそうです。
1番深い所で1メートルくらいかな?
海の中で、ゆるめのマリンレジャーができるのは良いです。
外国の方はビール等を持ち込んで飲んでいる人もいました(船や浮島で)
マリンスポーツという感じではないので、良い景色を見ながらゆる~く楽しめました。
Our tours do not have a set schedule, so guests can enjoy activities, relax on the floating island, or, like Mr. Pape, take in the beautiful scenery at their leisure. Everyone is able to enjoy the sandbar in their own way. Thank you very much for participating in our tour. From all the staff at KBOS.

**Positive Points**
• There are staff members who speak Japanese.
• The staff are kind and provide attentive service.
→ They frequently checked if we were warm enough and were gentle with the children.
• There is a good selection of drinks and snacks.
→ There are warm beverages like tea and cocoa, as well as juice and water.
Spam rice balls are limited to one per person, but you can eat as many snacks as you like.
• The transfer to the sandbar is done by a small boat with a limited number of people.
→ It depends on the number of participants, but this time everyone was Japanese.
• There are plenty of items like floaties available.
→ There were large floaties and floatie boats that children could enjoy.
There was also a boat with a clear bottom to see underwater, so even small children could enjoy snorkeling.
They also lend wet suits when it's cold.
• The bus driver for the transfers was kind.
→ Although he couldn't speak Japanese, he made an effort to communicate.
**Negative Points**
• The restroom is small and not suitable for changing.
→ There is a restroom at the port, but there is a long line, so those with transfers are likely to be late and return wet.
The day we participated, it was quite cold with light rain and a north wind, but we were still able to enjoy ourselves.
In a previous tour, we departed on a large boat with many people from various countries, and after the explanation, it felt like we were free to do as we pleased! However, this time, since it was a smaller group, it was great that we could quickly confirm anything we didn't understand.
Even in bad weather, the staff made various suggestions to ensure our family could enjoy the experience, which greatly increased our satisfaction.
For those participating in a sandbar tour for the first time, I think it would be reassuring to have Japanese-speaking staff and a small group.
Although the price is higher compared to other tours, it was a tour that made me want to participate again.

Since it was an English driver plan, there were more foreigners than Japanese participants, and all explanations were in English both on the bus and after arriving at Hanauma Bay. Although I barely understood English, I was able to confirm the final pickup location and time, so there were no issues. The driver was different for the outbound and return trips.
Perhaps because of the early pickup, we were likely the first to enter Hanauma Bay. Our return pickup was at 12:30 PM, so we had about five hours of free time at the beach after entering. It was nice that the weather was clear on the day we participated, but I think it would be quite cold if the weather were bad, especially after snorkeling.
I brought snacks with me, but there was a snack corner at the entrance, and when I went to buy more, I found out they only accepted card payments, so I ended up not being able to buy souvenirs or additional snacks. I brought cash for the entrance fee, but I was surprised to find that other places only accepted cards, so it would have been helpful to have that information listed in the items to bring.
Also, the snorkeling goggles that came with the rental kept coming off easily, so that was a downside, which is why I give it four stars. Hanauma Bay was wonderful, with plenty of colorful fish, and I had a lovely half-day there.
英語ドライバーのプランでしたので、参加の方も日本人より外国人の方が多くバスの中で説明も、ハナウマベイに着いてからも英語のみです
英語ほぼわからない私でしたが、最後のピックアップ場所と時間さえ確認できたので問題はありませんでした。運転手さんが行きと帰りで違います
早い時間のお迎えだったからか多分1番にハナウマベイに入れました
帰りのピックアップが12時30分でしたので入場してからしっかり5時間くらいビーチでのフリータイムがありました
私たちが参加した日は晴れていたのでよかったですが、もしも天気が悪い場合はシュノーケルしたあとなどはとても寒いと思います
食べ物などはお菓子など持参していったのですが入場口にスナックコーナーがあったので追加で買いに行ったら、カード決済のみだったため結局お土産も追加のスナックも買えませんでした
入場料は現金でもっていったのですが、まさかの他がカードのみとは知らなかったのでそのあたり持ち物に記載があるとありがたかったです
あとレンタルでついていたシュノーケルのゴーグルがすぐ取れてしまうものだったのでそこだけマイナスの☆4です
ハナウマベイやっぱり色とりどりの魚がたくさんいて素敵な半日が過ごせました

I was able to see several sea turtles swimming while on a cruiser to the sandbar. The guide made it easy to spot them. During snorkeling, I was moved when the guide pointed out sea turtles hiding among the rocks. The Japanese crew was very kind. However, in February, the weather wasn't very good and the wind was strong, so it was cold. I had a rash guard, but the water was cold, and the female participants were shivering in the boat. I think it would have been great if they had wetsuits available for rent.

I was picked up at a nearby hotel just after 8 AM, and it took about 30 minutes from Honolulu to the harbor. The cruiser was larger than I expected, with around 30 participants and about 10 staff members, but there was still plenty of space.
First, we received various explanations from a staff member who spoke Japanese, and as the cruiser set off, we enjoyed live ukulele music and singing until we arrived at the sandbar. We had three hours of free time, and since we had signed up for the banana boat and bumper tube, we were guided there first. After that, we went snorkeling, but the water was deeper than I thought, reaching up to my waist at 163 cm. However, there were many fish around the coral, and the kids were thrilled. There were also people playing water volleyball, floating on inflatable rings, and others relaxing on the cruiser.
It might have been just that day, but the wind was strong, and the temperature didn't rise, making it quite cold! It was mentioned to bring a bath towel, but we only brought three for five people, thinking we would just dry off quickly. After drying off, we were cold, and the kids were covering their heads with the towels, leaving us parents shivering. Thankfully, they provided warm herbal tea, which helped us get through it. So, for those participating, I recommend bringing something to wear after getting out of the water, even though it might be a bit of a hassle.
All the staff members were friendly and made an effort to understand our limited English, for which we were grateful.
There were ropes marking safe areas in the water, and staff members were stationed around to ensure we could play in a monitored area. The light snacks included several types of donuts, orange juice, water, and herbal tea, and my child loved the donuts so much that they kept asking for more. Additionally, there were two clean restrooms for each gender.
I would love to participate again if I go to Hawaii!
朝8時過ぎに近くのホテルでピックアップして貰い、ホノルルから船乗り場まで30分くらいの感じでした。
思っていたより大きなクルーザーでツアーに参加される人が30人くらいと10人くらいスタッフが居ましたが、それでも随分余裕がありました。
初めに日本語が話せるスタッフに色々な説明を受け、クルーザーが動き出し、ウクレレの生演奏や歌を聴いている間にサンドバーに到着しました。
3時間の自由時間があり、ウチはバナナボートやバンパーチューブを申し込んでいたので先にそちらに案内されました。
それが終わるとシュノーケリングをしたのですが、思っていたより深く163cmの私の股上あたりまで水がありました。でも珊瑚周辺は沢山の魚がおり子供が大喜びしていました。あとは水上バレーや浮き輪で浮いてる人、クルーザー中でゆっくり過ごす人様々でした。
その日はたまたまかと思いますが、風が強く気温も上がらずとにかく寒い!バスタオルは持参と書いてあったのですが、さらっと体を拭くだけかと5人で3枚しか持っていかなかったので体を吹いたあとは寒くて子供たちがバスタオルを頭から被っていたので親の私たち寒くて震えていましたが、暖かいハーブティーを用意してくれ何とかしのげました。
なので、参加される方は荷物になりますが、海から出たあと羽織れるものを持参される方がよいかと思います。
スタッフの方は皆フレンドリーで英語の拙い私たちの英語も理解しようとしてくださり感謝でした。
海の中でも行っても良い場所までロープが張られ、あちこちにスタッフの方が立って下さっており目が行き届く所で遊ぶ感じになっていました。
軽食はドーナツ数種類、オレンジジュース、水、ハーブティーでしたが、子供がこのドーナツを気に入り何度もお代わりしていたくらいでした。
あと、トイレも男女別で2つずつ用意されており綺麗でした。
またハワイに行ったらまた参加したいです

It felt just like the other reviews said.
It was more of a shuttle service to the hotel rather than a tour. Since it was completely in English, I think only those who can speak English would enjoy it. When we arrived at the entrance of Hanauma Bay, the guide left, and we had to buy our tickets ourselves and were free to explore on our own. I thought the price was high for just a shuttle service. I felt a bit hesitant to pay a tip on top of that.
There was also a place to rent snorkeling gear inside Hanauma Bay, so honestly, I think it would be best to rent a car and go there on your own.
Hanauma Bay itself was amazing, and I would love to go again if I have the chance! I highly recommend it!
他の口コミ通りという感じでした。
ツアーというよりはホテルまでの送迎のみでした。完全英語対応だったので英語ができる方しか楽しめないと思います。
ハナウマ湾入口に着くとガイドは帰ってしまい自分でチケット購入し、自由行動という感じでした。
送迎のみの割には値段が高いと思いました。そこにチップを払うのは少し抵抗がありました。
ハナウマ湾の中にシュノーケルセットをレンタルできる場所もあったので正直自分でレンタカーして行くのが1番かと思いました。
ハナウマ湾自体は最高でまた機会があれば行きたいと思いました!!おすすめです!

This was my third time in Hawaii, and I visited Kailua Beach for the first time. It was much less crowded than Waikiki, making it a very romantic experience. I noticed many newlyweds, which was heartwarming to see.
You can rent mats and beach chairs from the shop, so after a relaxing time on the beach, we returned to the shop for lunch. There were many delicious lunch options available.
The half-Asian driver and the shop staff were kind, efficient, and easy to talk to, making them wonderful people. The lockers, changing rooms, and restrooms were clean and easy to use.
This time, after the beach, I was taken to Kailua Town for shopping, but next time I want to rent a bike and visit Lanikai Beach. Thank you to all the staff!

The best tour to go on in Oahu. Amazing vibes! Amazing live music! Great service! The food was ehhh, 3/10, but you can BYOB and eat before or after! Amazing time. Would highly recommend.

This is our second time with Captain Bob's, and we will definitely return.... We recommend this group because they are very knowledgeable, you get to play on the sandbar, enjoy a great lunch, snorkel around a small reef and they take you to a spot to see many turtles!!!!
Our captains were so helpful with our family members that needed extra help, they were so attentive to their needs and were watching our for them all the time...... They were so friendly and pleasant to be around..... Awesome, fantastic, wonderful, excellent were the words my family of 6 kept saying over and over...... We highly recommend Captain Bob's and will definitely return when we come back to Oahu....

The wind felt a bit cold, but the weather was nice and the sea was crystal clear—it was the best! Although we only spoke Japanese, the staff were very kind and made us feel at ease!
風が少し寒く感じましたが天気も良く海も透き通ってて最高でした!
日本語しか話せない私達でしたがスタッフのみなさんも凄く親切で安心できました!
We are very pleased to hear that you were able to enjoy the tour with peace of mind. Thank you very much for participating in the tour. From all of us at KBOS.

The whole crew was amazing, kind and funny! Spending the day at the sandbar was such an incredible experience and I highly suggest it for anyone looking to spend a fun day in the ocean. Would definitely book this trip again, the live music was also just amazing!

The pickup time for the hotel was about 10 minutes late, and at the meeting point, there was only a Korean couple besides us. They confirmed in broken English whether we were users of the Hanauma Bay shuttle service, which eased our anxiety a bit. After that, we were able to communicate with the Korean couple and had a valuable experience.
This was my fourth time at Hanauma Bay, and the restrictions are becoming stricter. The first time, the entrance fee was the only cost, but starting from the second visit, there was one day a week when the bay was closed, and from the third visit, it became two days a week. This time, I was surprised to find that it was completely reservation-only.
ホテルへのピックアップ時間が10分位遅れ、集合場所には私たち以外は韓国人夫婦でしたが、拙い英語でハナウマ湾シャトルサービスの利用者であるかの確認をし、少し不安が和らぎました。その後韓国人夫婦とコミュニケーションがはかれて貴重な体験が出来ました。
ハナウマ湾は、今回が4回目でだんだん制限が厳しくなりました。
最初の時は、入場料だけで2回目からは週1日休場日ができ3回目からは週2日休場になり、今回からは完全予約制でびっくりしました。

We were so excited to go swim at the sandbar and are so glad we decided to take a boat. Excursion includes a ride to the sandbar with refreshments, crew-led snorkeling, and free time. Was nervous that I wasn't able to swim too well for the snorkeling portion but Jayson was awesome and floated me & three other people through the deep water. Great experience for folks of all ages and backgrounds!
Mahalo for choosing Captain Bruce and sharing this fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear you had an amazing experience at the sandbar with our captain Jayson and crew, and also you felt comfortable during our tour. We would love to welcome you back on board and have a great time again soon! A hui hou :)

The scooter snuba was so worth the additional fare, if you are not comfortable with self swimmiing, and you get to see so much!

We love the setting of the boat lounge. All the staffs are very friendly and helpful. We love the donuts and drinks! The singers while sailing are also good. We also love how they guide us on how to do the snorkeling and how they are protecting us while doing our sandbar activities. Special thanks to Toby for checking on us while doing the paddle board. We will definitely go back with them on our next Oahu trip! Highly recommended! Don't go somewhere else if you want the best Sandbar experience!!!
We really appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you again soon! Mahalo! - Team KBOS
