Excellent tour

Reviewed by: Susan, 2024/04/30

Absolutely one of my favorite things that we did. Our guide Micky was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I would recommend this to anyone. We saw some cool sea life and had the opportunity to hold some sea creatures.

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング ベテラン日本語ガイドがご案内する少人数制ツアー 貸切プランあり<半日>

マハロ!最高でした!

Reviewed by: みゆ, 2024/04/28

インストラクターのお二人とも親しみやすくて、すぐに打ち解けられました。海に入る前に観る映像の内容を事前に日本語で要約してくださって、またハナウマ湾の自然を心から愛していることが伝わってきました。受付や交通整理の人にも顔がきくようで、安心感もありました。
これまでハナウマ湾には2回アクティビティではなく個人で来たことがありましたが、初めての方はこちらのアクティビティを利用された方がいいと思いますし、2回目以降の方も楽しめると思います。

Captain Bruce Kaneohe Sandbar Cruise with SUP, Guided Snorkel & Transportation

Great time, great crew!

Reviewed by: Chris A, 2024/04/27

Everything from the transportation from our hotel with our driver/tour guide Kaplan, to our cruise and adventure with Captain Jason and his crew were fantastic! They were knowledgeable about the reef and sandbar, and were clearly passionate about its care. Snorkeling was great, and they took great care of those that couldn't swim well or needed extra help with the equipment. The activities on the sandbar were fun, and the ability to chill on the boat and enjoy the provided snacks & beverages was nice as well. In the way back to our hotel, Kaplan stopped to let us get Malasadas at Leonard's! Highly recommended... 10 out of 10!

Davi from oz.

Reviewed by: Davo from oz. , 2024/04/27

So easy to access from the beach, and a short ride to the turtles. Loved how music playing from the catamaran allowed surfers to allow our exit and entry.
Great captain and deck hands, with turtles sighted during our trip
Highly recommend this tour.

Reviewed by: Non-name, 2024/04/27

悪くは無かったです。但し、ツアーの最後にコンダクターへのチップを請求されるのは、如何なものかと思います。それなら、最初からチップ代金込みで代金を組成した方が、チップ習慣が無い日本人としては納得できると思います。

Hanauma Bay Snorkel Tour with Expert Guide & Waikiki Transportation

Excellent snorkeling experience

Reviewed by: Kendra Smith, 2024/04/26

This was an excellent experience from start to finish! Dan promptly picked us up from our hotel and took us to Hanauma Bay. He took care of collecting all of our gear needed for snorkeling and had wet suits to rent if needed. Dan gave great instructions/tips to the group on how to snorkel. Dan and his partner then took us throughout the bay to the best sites to see the tropical fish. He even took pictures for us! I highly recommend this tour! It is an experience we won’t forget!

Hanauma Bay Self-Guided Snorkel Tour & Gear Rental with Hotel Transportation

Great Experience

Reviewed by: Aki, 2024/04/25

Hanauma Bay was a really great and fun experience. It's an early activity but the water isn't too bad, as it's quite easy to warmup in the ocean. The ride to Hanauma Bay from our pick-up location was prompt and comfortable and that genuinely enhanced the experience. The driver, Orlando, was very kind and informative.

Jet Snorkel with Turtles at Electric Beach - Guided Tour with Waikiki Pick-up

VERY COOL TOUR!!

Reviewed by: Luis, 2024/04/24

This was such an awesome tour! This was my first time visiting Hawaii and this tour made it so much more special and memorable! I got to see so much marine life. I got to see a lot of sea turtles, fish, starfish, sea urchins, and even a seal lion. Robert and Andrew are amazing tour guides. They're very helpful and knowledgeable. I will definitely do this tour again when I come back to visit. I highly recommend this tour! You won't be disappointed!
I do recomend you bring a snorkel mask that has a GoPro mount on it so you can have your own videos.

Waikiki's Most Affordable Turtle Snorkel Boat Tour - Mana Kai Catamaran

Awesome tour!!

Reviewed by: Luis, 2024/04/24

This was a very cool tour! This was my friends and I first time visiting Hawaii and this tour made it very memorable for us! It was a lot of fun sitting on the net and getting splashed by the waves. The staff was super friendly and amazing. We got to see sea turtles and other marine life. Only downside is that there are other tour boats in the same location. So there's about a hundred people snorkeling in the water and it gets crowded super fast. People bumping and pushing each other or kicking each other in the water. Kinda felt like the scene in titanic lol. Other than that, it was a very cool tour! I'll definitely do it again when I plan my next trip!
I also recomend you bring a GoPro camera to take videos and photos.

  • A sea turtle came up for air right next to me.

Captain Bruce Kaneohe Sandbar Cruise with SUP, Guided Snorkel & Transportation

Well-thought out itinerary and extremely acommodating!

Reviewed by: Nicole C, 2024/04/24

What I LOVED:
- Available bins to store your items once on their boat [useful as a family member nearly dropped their phone overboard within seconds of sitting down]
- Included spam musubi and soft drinks
- PRESCRIPTION/Rx snorkeling gear [lifesaver as contacts are not an option while swimming and this is an amazing option that I never knew existed]
- Charismatic and protective crew [they keep the mood light and ensure you are well taken care of]

What I could change:
- Weather [though out of their control a lil extra sun wouldn't have hurt outside of a potentially bad sunburn]

Would I recommend this to others? Absolutely! I have already shared my positive experience with my extended family.

Comments from activity operators

Aloha, thank you so much for choosing Captain Bruce and for taking the time to leave this fantastic review! Your feedback is very informational for us, especially as we work on adding more details about our amenities on the website for future guests. Definitely we will add the information that we have the prescription snorkeling masks for the guests! Again, Mahalo for your review, and we appreciate you recommending us to your extended family - that means a lot to us!
We hope to welcome you all back on board for another unforgettable Hawaiian experience soon!

Hanauma Bay Self-Guided Snorkel Tour & Gear Rental with Hotel Transportation

Great service. Easy solution.

Reviewed by: Steve, 2024/04/23

Overall, beautiful and the service made our life so much easier. We would recommend these guys again.

With the bay...
Fish weren't as plentiful as the pictures...by a long shot.

Perhaps planning on being there at high tide would help with making the space easier to snorkel.

Interesting process getting into the bay.

Great friendly service from the crew we booked with helping us manage these processes at the bay.

Food and drink options there are slim and no where to sit and eat them as you wait for transport back.

Hanauma Bay Self-Guided Snorkel Tour & Gear Rental with Hotel Transportation

It was okay

Reviewed by: MJL, 2024/04/23

The tour guide on the drive out was great, very friendly. Gear worked well and was clean. We got chairs and an umbrella which was really nice since we were there a while. I didn’t love the actual bay, however. The snorkeling was only okay and we didn’t see nearly as many types of fish as I would have expected for a place boosting great snorkeling. I have been to better. The reef was also super shallow so hard to navigate around the sections safely without touching the coral. It also was very sandy so the view wasn’t clear. Overall I would not pick this activity again just since the snorkeling wasn’t great. However, the driver and equipment was great so I didn’t want to knock their rating down just because the experience wasn’t amazing.

Waikiki Swim with Turtles Tour - Moana Catamaran Best Honolulu Snorkeling Cruise

Once in a lifetime experience

Reviewed by: Katherine, 2024/04/22

We booked a family snorkeling with turtles experience on the Moana Catamaran, and the crew ensured that we had an exceptional experience. Anthony, the captain, was personable and informative. He was happy to answer a LOT of questions, and provided insight into Hawaiian culture throughout the experience. When it came time to enter the water, Claire was an outstanding guide. She ensured that the kids (10 & 12) felt confident with the unfamiliar snorkeling equipment, and took the time to locate and identify a variety of sea life. The crew made this a memorable experience for our entire family, and we highly recommend this experience for visitors to Oahu.

Captain Bruce Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkel & Private Speed Boat Rental

Excellent choice

Reviewed by: T. Le, 2024/04/22

My family and I (2 adults, 2 children) had a great time exploring the sandbar and reef area with our captain/tour guide. We learned a lot about the history of the sandbar as well as got to enjoy the water and sandbar area. We got lucky with the weather since it rained earlier in the day. The provided snacks and musubis were excellent. We were sad when it ended, but brought back many memories.

Comments from activity operators

Thank you so much for joining our tour and taking the time to write such a fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that your family, including your children, had a great time exploring the sandbar and reef with us. We love sharing our knowledge of Hawaii waters, and we're glad you enjoyed learning about the sandbar.
We're happy the provided snacks and musubis were a hit :)

We're so grateful that we could be a part of your wonderful memories, and we hope to welcome you on board again soon! A hui hou!

Excellent Snorkel experience

Reviewed by: A Mercer, 2024/04/20

The staff was friendly, helpful and professional. The trip was wonderful and there are many providers available, and the value for service on this trip was excellent. They were punctual, the equipment was in good condition. Turtle Canyon has turtles, but lots of other tour boats. They were very situationally aware which kept us safe. We also got some bonus dolphin activity on the way out and back. Two thumbs up.

Excellent crew, live music and a beautiful setting

Reviewed by: Jess from CA, 2024/04/20

This was such a a fun time! The crew and musicians are what made it so good. They all exude the aloha spirit. The live music was such a a treat, they had really good rapport with our group and were so fun, and talented too. The crew was so wonderful and so nice.
The bay itself is a treasure, so so beautiful. The water is gorgeous, the mountains are stunning. They provide paddle boards, kayaks, snorkel gear, and volleyballs.
And the crew is very helpful with all of the gear and how to.use.it. I would recommend it!
