Not worth it !
The boat ride was very rough, we barely had 15 minutes in the water. The water was really blur and we saw almost nothing.
Unfortunately the drink were not good as well, the mai tai was only ice and juice … not recommended!

The crew was very knowledgeable and approachable. the entire activity was fun! You won't even realize 4 hours had passed by until they turn the boat around. the food was good and we enjoyed the beer they had on board as well. Because of Capt. Bob's we met new people who we had drinks later that night. it was a very fun filled with activities I have never tried before. My favorite was the snorkeling part since it was my first time and of course, Hawaii did not fail to show me the beauty of the underwater!

We had such a fun time going out on the kayak's. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Everything was explained without feeling rushed. They give you maps and explain where to go and how long it will take to get there. We had so much fun! I highly recommend doing this.

This tour was amazing! The crew and captain was very knowledgeable, extremely nice and friendly, and funny. The Captain did all he could do to attract the sharks for us and the safety divers made sure we felt safe in the water and had everything we needed. It was a little choppy, but that part was out of their control, so I'm good with it! Overall, 10 out of 10!!

Awesome time. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The water bag was crucial for keeping everything dry. It was about a 45 min paddle out to the sandbar but totally worth it. It’s a must do.

2nd time being in hawaii and haven’t gone snorkeling until now. The experience was very exciting especially seeing the fishes and sea turtles. The life guards and the kids were very helpful ! Such a fun couple of hours spent at waikiki beach. I decided to buy my own snorkel gear for sanitary reasons. I want to try it again some time when i get the opportunity too.

Our preference was to go at low tide and we had a blast. During snorkeling we even got to see some turtles. I believe we saw 4 individual tuetles.
The big surprise was the level of customer service. We were the only passengers with young kids and the staff was very accommodating to us. They were engaging to all the passengers but I was so impressed how they engaged my youngest (age 5) who can be a handful. If you have never gone to the sand bar the decision has to be to experience it as soon as possible. If you are deciding which company to take you out there, I recommend captain Bruce. It's clean, there are snacks, coffee, tea, a restroom, tons of water toys, and it's good for groups, couples and families.
Aloha Carlos, on behalf of Capt. Bruce, we thank you so much for your support! Your feedback is greatly appreciated and we look forward to seeing you in the near future.
Mahalo kindly.

This was the activity I was most looking forward to while in Oahu and unfortunately it landed on a super windy and raining day. I wish we would’ve had the opportunity to reschedule to a day with better weather as it would’ve been much more enjoyable. Regardless, the crew members were amazing and ensured everyone in my party felt comfortable while snorkeling. The lunch was yummy and post snorkeling hot chocolate was the perfect ending. We were able to see multiple sea turtles and even encountered a few while snorkeling!!!

This was an awesome experience! I saw so many turtles, which was my only goal in Hawaii. I also saw dolphins in a distance. The guys on the boat were awesome! One of the divers dove down with my camera and took pictures for me of the turtles up close with a respectful distance.
I, sadly, also got seasick on the boat. I had no idea I would get that sick. The hosts were so helpful without making me feel embarrassed. They kept checking on me, bringing me water and lavender oil which helped a lot for the sickness.
I also loved that they were respectful of the turtles as you will get fined if you touch a turtle in Hawaii. They made us keep our distance from the turtles which I really respect and love about Hawaiin culture. They actually care about the Earth and animals.

There were no Japanese guides available on the Beltora menu, possibly because there are hardly any Japanese users. We participated from the mainland United States, but I think people coming from Japan would be disappointed, so if there are no guides, it would be better to remove them from the menu.
日本人利用がほとんどないためか、ベルトラさんのメニューにあった日本語ガイドはありませんでした。我々はアメリカ本土からの参加でしたが、日本から来た人はがっかりされると思うので、ないならないでメニューから削除された方がいいと思います。

We had a great time with the Manu Kai crew! Our snorkeling adventure was fun and exciting, the process was easy and carefree. We got to see about 4-6 turtles at turtle canyon also tons of fish and had plenty of time to snorkel. The crew is very knowledgeable and accommodating, offering drinks and taking pictures, they also are very concerned with safety and we always felt safe aboard the boat. Overall just an awesome experience! Thank you Manu Kai!

Picked up right on the beach. We drove in from north shore and parked in the garage across the street. The boat ride was 10ish minutes to the canyon. Had at least a full hour in the water. There were 7 or 8 turtles right there the whole time. Tons of fish. A few minutes after we got there a few other tours showed up and there were a lot more people but still enough space for all tours. The crew was awesome. This was the best tour we booked this week.

We chose to drive ourselves. Easy drive from the North Shore. The sand bar is a unique feature but not particularly exciting. The reef layer in the day was what made the day. Lots of fish and a few turtles swimming around. There weren’t other tours with boats on top of us loaded with people either.
