サンドバー天使の海 シュノーケリング&ウミガメウォッチクルーズ 船上のBBQグリルで焼くハンバーガーランチ付き!<午前/日本語クルー>
The best place
最高の場所
Activity Date: 2022/04/29 | Posted on: 2022/05/01

Since we departed before Golden Week, there were fewer Japanese participants, and the overall number of attendees was low. We enjoyed swimming and playing volleyball at the sandbar without any rush, refreshing ourselves under the beautiful blue sky. After that, we observed sea turtles and snorkeled around the coral. It was an amazing day, seeing fish swimming up close in the tank and sea turtles swimming nearby. We were blessed with great weather, and I am grateful to the bright and energetic instructors. Thank you, Yuki, the Japanese instructor!

ゴールデンウィーク前に出発したので、日本人は少なく参加人数も少なめでした。わさわさしないでサンドバーで泳いだりバレーをしたりステキな青空の下でのんぎりリフレッシュその後ウミガメを観て珊瑚の周りをシュノーケル日本では水槽の中で泳いでいる魚を間近で観たり海亀も近くで泳いでいたりとにかく最高の1日でした。天気に恵まれとにかく明るく元気なインストラクターの方々に感謝です。日本人インストラクターのゆきさんありがとうございました。

Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkeling Tour & BBQ Lunch with Waikiki Pickup
Highlight of our family's vacation!
Activity Date: 2022/04/25 | Posted on: 2022/04/30

Highly recommend activity with young children! The crew was so accommodating to everyone on board and nothing makes it a great time when good music, food and fun under the sun. We still talk about this activity and how much fun we had. It was definitely the highlight of our trip in O'ahu and we'd do it again the next time we're back!

We had the best time with Captain Bob’s Picnic Sail!
Captain Eggy and crew were so accommodating and the burgers weren’t bad too!
The Sand Bar was amazing.. and we saw a lot of turtles on the way to the Coral Reef. Snorkeling was so much fun although we didn’t see a lot of fishes.

Discover the Best of Oahu on a Full-Day Circle Island Guided Tour with Waimea Valley & Local Lunch
Great Tour
Activity Date: 2022/04/08 | Posted on: 2022/04/30

We were a big group - like 27 of us - and most were visiting Hawaii for the first time. This was the first activity we did and I’m glad we did because we learned a lot about the island. Kim our driver and tourist guide was great! It also helped that we had the whole bus to ourselves.
Bring swimsuit to go have a dip at the Waimea Falls. If you don’t, you will have to shell out a lot of money to buy some at the spot!
The fee for the tour Is well worth it! Strongly recommend this.

Kaneohe Bay Kayak & Snorkel Self-Guided Tour [Tour Not Available]
Would be fun on a nice day!
Activity Date: 2022/04/26 | Posted on: 2022/04/30

This would be an amazing thing to do weather providing!!

The day we booked was overcast and windy, when we arrive there was a bulletin board with things to know noting you would not see the sandbar clearly that day. We checked in wnd the lady had told the people behind us who asked to rent kayaks that the water was quite rough and that if you are begginers it’s probably not a good day to go out. We were worried as beginners then… the water was so rough we got about 20 mins out and the wind was blowing us all over the place and every wave we hit felt like we were going to flip the kayak. We decided it was not safe and decided to go back. They wouldn’t even refund us considering the weather conditions so it was a complete waste of money unfortunately. If they would of let us switch dates we would of been happy to do that but they don’t allow you cancel unless they decide the weather isn’t good enough. Was super disappointing.

Magnum Doors-Off Helicopter Tour - Oahu Island Scenic Flight from Honolulu
Wow!!
Activity Date: 2022/04/27 | Posted on: 2022/04/29

It was a lovely and unique way to see the island of Oahu. To see Waikiki Beach and all the other landmarks from the air was brilliant. Helicopter ride itself was amazing. Our pilot Brandon was friendly, funny and informative. He made the flight for us. Would definitely recommend doing this activity and sitting up front with the pilot. 10/10!!!

Kaneohe Bay Kayak & Snorkel Self-Guided Tour [Tour Not Available]
Disappointing
Activity Date: 2022/04/27 | Posted on: 2022/04/29

We chose this company due to the reviews, but unfortunately we were disappointed with the reality. The guy checking us in was fine, but very serious and not really friendly. The weather was pretty windy, so the conditions were not easy. However we were given no guidance from the staff on how to deal with this, or any tips. When we asked where we should aim for to reach the sandbar, we had the very unhelpful advice of 'its kind of where that yacht is now, so head for that'. Bearing in mind the yacht was moving! It would really have helped to have some clear markers or something to aim for, especially when wind and tides are taking you in the opposite direction! We got lots of don't go here or here' but not much else.
While the sandbar is around 1.5 miles out, so not too far, it really required knowing what you are doing, and some real strength to cope with strong winds and currents to reach it. Otherwise it could have been very dangerous. The sandbar was really interesting to see when we got there, but the strong winds bashed the kayak around so much we couldn't stay too long. Obviously that's not this company's fault though. Overall it wasn't what I expected and a bit disappointing unfortunately.

Aloha, I am very sorry to hear that your experience was a disappointing one. Unfortunately the wind/conditions are something we cannot control, and 1.5 miles in ocean conditions is quite a long paddle. You are correct, it definitely does require a good bit of strength and paddling ability. So, it's great that you made it to the sandbar in those conditions. It sounds like you did a good job finding your way and paddling in some challenging conditions. I am more sorry to hear that you didn't find our staff's instructions or briefing to be helpful. They limit how many characters my response can be, but we'd love to give you a better answer to your concerns if you want to email us directly. But I'm sorry our instructions fell short and weren't as helpful as they should have been, and sorry that led to a disappointing experience. Thank you for your feedback. That is very much appreciated, and hopefully something that we can use to improve our process for the future. Mahalo.

2.5-Hour Haleiwa ATV Tour & Off-Road Small-Group Adventure - Top Rated!
MUST do this!
Activity Date: 2022/04/26 | Posted on: 2022/04/28

First off, I go to Hawaii all the time and only book these tours to get my hands on the ATV!. They are always nice but this one was OUTSTANDING! And the guide is the entire reason why. He was so fun and knowledgeable and super engaging. He had us dying of laughter the whole time and smiling from ear to ear. The tour itself had a lot of cool info but I’m not sure if I would have enjoyed it as much had we not had the guide we did (short Filipino dude ;)! The ATVs were so rad as well and the route we went on allowed for us to get down and dirty with the ATVs which I loved! This one was worth it! I’ll be booking again just to hang with the guide!

Adventurous Experience!
Activity Date: 2022/04/21 | Posted on: 2022/04/25

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience kayaking to the sandbar! It was easy to follow the instructions and the map to get to our destination. It is quite tiring, but the view is breathtaking. We did start our kayaking adventure around 9am, so those that had an earlier reservation at 8am were already at the sandbar, so we were on the lookout for the bright yellow kayaks when making our way there, but I can definitely see some getting lost if they went early in the gloomy morning. Weather conditions do vary on how visible and shallow the sandbar is, but we were lucky to get to see the sandbar exposed!

Outrigger Canoe Surfing with Waikiki Beach Boys
Late April 2022 Outrigger Canoe Adventure
Activity Date: 2022/04/23 | Posted on: 2022/04/25

We really enjoyed this activity. We had six people in our party, but the waves were big on our day, so they split us up into two groups. Captain Russell was amazing. He spent a few minutes with us on the beach before the outing to set our expectations. Then, we went out on the water. He was really patient with us and made sure we had good rides. It was a great experience in a really wonderful setting.

Loved the shark adventure and specially the service provided by Justin and the captain. They were so supportive and helpful.
A day before we got the message with parking instructions, which really helped us specially when you are new to area. We took a wrong turn and was running late however Justin was too supportive, she was continuously with us over the phone to guide us the route and made sure we reached on time. Thanks to Captain as well who waited for us.
Now coming to actual shark adventure: It was really fun, amount of time in a cage was ample. My 10 years old also enjoyed it. There were lot sharks around the cage. Also while coming back we saw lot of Dolphins and Captain gave us sufficient time to clicks photos as well.
