Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkeling Tour & BBQ Lunch with Waikiki Pickup
Best Tour and Crew!
Activity Date: 2022/04/22 | Posted on: 2022/05/14

The crew was amazing, so fun and engaging! The experience itself and the activities were fantastic, most memorable part of our vacation. Most definitely recommend to anyone visiting the island. From the sandbar, to the turtle watching, and the snorkeling, this tour did not disappoint. My 11 year old had a great time and says it was the highlight of our vacation. It was for sure an unforgettable experience that my family and myself will treasure forever!

Outrigger Canoe Surfing with Waikiki Beach Boys

The ride was great----a lot of fun. However, although they offered to have a photographer available to take pictures, she was not there at the time of the ride and we lost the opportunity for the photos.

Step Inside McGarrett’s House on Oahu - Exclusive Access Hawaii Five-0 Tour & Meet Cousin Flippa
Must do for Hawaii 5-0 fans
Activity Date: 2022/05/11 | Posted on: 2022/05/13

Sean was a fantastic guide! He made us comfortable, confirming vaccination statuses. He provided a lot of information about 5-0 filming sites, production and trivia. He took photos of us at Danno's overlook and the "McGarrett" house. He went out of his way to get me a new sandwich after he learned my food allergy had not been communicated. Shawn Mokuahi Garnett (Flippa) was at the house to share some stories, an unexpected pleasure. The tour was well organized and took us through many places of interest in Honolulu and the Hawaii 5-0 fandom. Thank you, Sean for a great day.

Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkeling Tour & BBQ Lunch with Waikiki Pickup
Snorkeling adventure
Activity Date: 2022/05/09 | Posted on: 2022/05/12

This was a great adventure. I have never snorkeled, so this was very exciting. It was a little scary getting in the 40foot water to swim to the coral. But once I was near the coral, it wasn't bad. I would have liked to see more fish and turtles, but there could have been many reasons why we didn't see that many. What I would have liked to have was more time snorkeling. I felt it was too short. Even though I was still scared to be in the water. I had my husband to hold onto. I did enjoy seeing the fish. I also would have liked for them to play a little music. Just to get the energy going. Not too loud, but a little something would have been nice. Otherwise, all the members of the crew were extremely nice and knowledgeable. I felt very comfortable with them. It was a great adventure, I definitely would recommend it.

ハワイでパラセーリング 高さ120m/150mの上空からワイキキとダイアモンドヘッドの絶景を鑑賞!<ヒルトン・ワイキキ>
I enjoyed parasailing while feeling the exhilaration on a fast boat!
速度のあるボートで爽快感を感じながらパラセイリングを楽しめました!
Activity Date: 2022/04/14 | Posted on: 2022/05/08

When I said my name at the reception booth, the boat hadn't returned yet, so I waited a little. I got a sticker on my arm or watch, signed a safety waiver, and boarded the boat. At this time of year, there are no people wearing masks, but since we were on the sea, it didn't bother me.
People on the boat took turns soaring into the sky, and I was asked if I wanted to take photos for an additional $200, but I didn't since I had a GoPro.
I enjoyed the endless sky and sea, and the experience of speeding back with a water landing service was fantastic.
As a note, you need to have $20 in cash for tips.

受付の小屋で名前を言ったら、まだボートが戻ってなくて少し待ちました。腕か時計にシールを貼ってもらい、安全の誓約書にサインしてボートに乗り込みます。もうこの時期はマスクする人もいないですが、海の上なので気にならないです。
ボートに同乗する人で順番に空に舞い上がりますが、オプションで$200の写真をとるか聞かれましたが、ゴープロがあるのでつけませんでした。
どこまでも続く空と海を堪能して、着水サービスもありながら、ボートをかっ飛ばして帰ったのは素晴らしい体験でした。
注意として$20の現金がチップとして必要です。

The entertainment was so much fun to watch and the staff and service was great. We were sitting elbow to elbow with the tables next to us which was very uncomfortable. Way too crowded. Way way way too crowded. Another huge disappointment was the food. Overall I would not recommend for the price. Maybe if you can find a discounted ticket it would be worth it.

Kaneohe Bay Kayak & Snorkel Self-Guided Tour [Tour Not Available]
Kool Kayak Experience!
Activity Date: 2022/04/16 | Posted on: 2022/05/07
May

My boyfriend and I purchased the kayak/snorkeling experience and it was quite the memory! Everyone was great helping us get set up and guiding us! When we went out and kayaked we saw so many different fishes during our snorkeling adventure! The crazy part was that it started raining while we were far out and snorkeling. Instead of kayaking back we continued to snorkel until the rain stopped! For the price and experience it was totally worth it!

Also I recommend purchasing the 4 hour experience because I don’t think you will be out for the whole 8 hours even tho it costs just a little bit more! We were our a max of 2 hours!

If you’re wondering on whether or not to purchase think no more! Overall it was an amazing experience and I highly recommend it! Also booking this package will prepare you for everything vs booking on the actual business site since this package has a dry bag, snorkeling gear, and the anchor (this will keep your kayak in place while you’re snorkeling). Hope this helps and you make great memories from this experience!

Awesome experience, would absolutely recommend. The surf was a little rough and the boats were running behind schedule, but the office was willing to accommodate me and put me on an earlier boat so I didn’t have to wait. The crew was amazing and made the experience memorable. They offer photos for a reasonable price so you can just focus on enjoying your time.

Kaneohe Bay Kayak & Snorkel Self-Guided Tour [Tour Not Available]
Beautiful Reef, very windy day
Activity Date: 2022/05/02 | Posted on: 2022/05/04

First off, the day turned out to be very windy and a little rainy and therefore want the best kayaking weather, but they did offer us a refund or reschedule. It was out last day and we didn’t have anything better to do so we stayed.
The guys getting our kayak and gear gave us some information about where to go and a little about the kayaks (hope to anchor them, out the heaviest in back), but nothing really about paddling or steering especially in the windy conditions. We had some idea, so it wasn’t too bad, but a little more direction would have been helpful.
Once on the water, it was choppy and a hard kayak, but we pushed through. It was hard to anchor in the sand because we had two anchors for three kayaks and the wind was too strong. We ended up tying all three to the two anchors and that worked. The spot was great to snorkel in (We went to horseshoe bend? It was the spot recommended for snorkeling). The coral was beautiful and on a clearer day would be gorgeous. There were fish, but it was harder to get close up to see them with life jackets on. We did see a giant fish and a huge turtle walk right under me. It was pretty cool.
A little more guidance on the kayaks and ensuring everyone has tips on paddling in currents and waves and’s provide defogger for the snorkeling and it would be great. Thank you!

My boyfriend and I booked this ATV tour with the intention of just having fun and getting dirty, but it turned out to be so much more than that! Our tour guide, Kioke, was exceptional! He has such a welcoming demeanor and made our trip so much fun! He was very knowledgeable about Hawaii and how the lands came about. We truly think he's a natural when it comes to his line of work! We really enjoyed every minute of our trip and were excited to hear of different types of tours that could be added in the future! If we come back to Oahu, we will make sure to come visit Kioke on the north shore again!

This was so worth the money! The show itself was worth the ticket. Food was great too. Having a taste of everything was good so you know what you like and don't. I sprung for the pick up and drop off which was great so I didn't have to worry about being just a teenie tiny bit tipsy. :) The dancers were fantastic and it was obvious everyone was enjoying themselves. Would definitely go back.

Our Pearl Harbor Tour with E Noa was great! Our tour guide was knowledgeable and fun, and shared a lot of good information. This tour made it easy to enjoy all that Pearl Harbor has to offer since they procure the tickets for you. The trolley ride around Honolulu and Waikiki was good as well.
Be sure to NOT bring bags with you as instructed. This caused our particular tour to be split up as our guide had to call in another guide due to some people bringing bags. They will not let you in with them.
