The show was phenomenal, food was tasty and views spectacular. I misread and thought it was open seating, but it wasn't. It was well organized, staff were definitely hospitable and the show was truly entertaining even my kid who doesn't like anything like the whole experience. It is a must see! MAHALO!

Our Family of 4 had been on several excursions during our week of vacation in O’ahu. This booking was by far the easiest! The entire family (including 2 teens) had a very memorable experience. I would highly recommend putting this on your “To Do” list. It may not seem like much, but once you get out there (quite a ways out there) it is a blast! ...and the Staff made it easy for me to just relax and enjoy.

My family (especially my children) thoroughly enjoyed swimming with the dolphins. They were apprehensive before we got there, but once we met our guide, (Alisha), she made us all feel at ease. It was a really enjoyable experience! We didn’t want it to end. The work they do with the dolphins is amazing and the staff is very friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. Such a great cause and experience. Definitely recommend and would go again. We felt Covid-safe and safe with the dolphins. Such amazing and smart animals.

Great family fun! My whole family really enjoyed the experience! We definitely recommend and we would consider going again. Friendly, professional staff. Pedro and Felipe were excellent and truly gave us a memorable experience! We felt safe during these times of covid and the horses were well mannered so the novice riders in our group felt safe as well.

I had a great time visiting the Kaneohe sandbar with the Captain Bruce crew. They were very welcoming and provided guidance and supervision during the trip to make sure everyone was safe. I was able to see many turtles and beautiful corals while also enjoying the paddle board provided by the crew. I highly recommend this trip for anyone looking to spend a great morning (or afternoon) to enjoy some of the best nature in Oahu.
Aloha Jenny, Thank you so much for taking the time to write this wonderful review regarding our Capt. and crew. Mahalo for the compliments!

We rented a double sea kayak for a paddling adventure across Kaneohe Bay. In about 3 hours we enjoyed snorkeling on the reef and playing around on the sandbar. Was about 4 miles paddling total, but definitely worth it.

My ATV guide was horrible really rude and really unprofessional. He said I was drifting and speeding when I was the atv right behind him therefore I don’t see how I can be drifting or speeding if I couldn’t even go more then 15 miles an hour. He then continued to lecture me like I was a little kid over the video that I watched when I answered all the questions right he was shocked. Singled me out for some reason and I don’t appreciate that at all specially when the tour was about 150 per person I wouldn’t recommend this tour to anybody in the future

The food came out in good timing intervals. Good food. Drinks were okay. I ended up switching to wine as the mixed drinks were not my favorite. I enjoyed the entertainment. Even with a Dramamine I was still a bit nauseous until we got out of the harbor but once on the ocean everything was fine. Beautiful sunset and great view of Waikiki.

I cannot say enough great things about this experience! We spent the day listening to music, playing volleyball on the sandbar, snorkeling and swimming with turtles. It was absolutely amazing. They grilled burgers, provided drinks and the crew was super funny. Not only was the crew funny but we lost our GoPro in the water while snorkeling and they ended up going back the next day and diving for it - and they found it! Thank you to the amazing crew, we will definitely be back!!

After my group was picked up another couple was picked up. I was disappointed because they were picked up across the street from the condo we were staying at. My group had to take a 15 minute walk to The pick up location that they told us. We could have slept in a little bit later and had breakfast. The ride to Diamondhead was simple and quick. Once you get to the location they do you have food trucks if you want to grab food or something to drink. As we were entering we were ask for tickets. Our driver did not give us the tickets to enter the hiking trail. We called the company no one answered and we did not have the phone number to the shuttle driver. The staff at Diamondhead did not want to let us in. however after taking sympathy on as they were nice and let us in. They could have said no and we would have to have sat in front of Diamondhead for 2 1/2. If you book with this company make sure your driver gives you your blue ticket for entry into the park.
After the hike it was a madhouse because the afternoon tours were coming in and the morning tours were going out. I received a phone call and it was a new shuttle driver who was supposed to take us to our original shuttle driver because he was caught in some type of traffic. It was a tight squeeze because this new shadow was much smaller than the ones that we came in on. The drive was really nice he gave us kind of like a sightseeing tour as we were going to the drop off location. We all get out and we’re kind of just standing around waiting. He tells us that the original shuttle driver is coming (he never showed). For people decided not to continue on with the second hike. So the shuttle driver said that instead of us waiting he could take us now because it was a smaller group. This isn’t their first time doing these tour so I would have expected things to run a lot smoother. I do recommend shopping around for different tour companies.

Awesome day spent with this tour! The sandbar and views were very beautiful. Lunch was very good, we had burgers which they cooked on the grill on the boat while we were hanging out at the sandbar, came with drinks and chips which was very filling. After we went turtle watching and saw SO many turtles, definitely more than 10! The kids were very excited to see them. Also saw many fishes at the snorkeling sight, tour guides were very helpful and safety was their number 1 priority.

This is an amazing excursion for any Hawaii traveler! We found the North Shore to be so laid back and peaceful. Our captain and first mate were so knowledgeable and friendly. They made the trip super chill. We always felt completely safe and the sharks were AMAZING. 10/10 recommend and would do again in a heartbeat. Bring a GoPro or something similar! Fellow divers on our tour brought a drone and the sharks' reactions to that was so cool!!

Both my husband and I really enjoyed this experience. It was a little rough in the beginning getting used to the waves and the cage up against the boat but once they release you a little it gets a lot easier. There were plenty of sharks and some other animals to check out while inside the cage. Definitely glad we did this.

Such a fantastic experience for someone whose never been snorkeling before. Great for beginners and family friendly! Rain comes and goes but the sandbar and the ocean was still warm and beautiful. I would like to thanks Trevor for helping me overcome my fear of the ocean overall. Lol. Without him I wouldn’t have gone beyond the sandbar. You rock!! I had the pleasure of seeing turtles, small colorful fishes, and of course the beautiful reef. Thank you Captain Bruce for such a great hospitality. I will definitely come back with a group of families in the near future!

First off, I would like to say thank you too Matt for being our tour guy! You’ve made it so much fun for me and my partner. We enjoyed every hurtles along the way lol. Every destination point we stopped at had a story behind the mountains and island. I thought Matt did an excellent job connecting the mountains history to us. The view was spectacular and it definitely took my breath away. I would highly suggest everyone to bring dusk shields or neckgaters to protect yourself from dusk. At one point my partner and I were stuck going up on the incline due to the excessiveness of wet mud from the rain. Lol. We felt so bad for the people behind us (mud bath accident). However, it was a fun experience. I highly recommend booking the 2 hour ATV ride! You will not regret it (: thank you Matt for a wonderful ride. -Cece
