Oahu
It was an amazing and unique experience with the crew. Thank you for taking care of my and my bf. They educated everyone and made sure everyone is safe at all activities. They set up a net for volleyball in the middle of Sandbar and next thing you know was laughters all a bunch of strangers playing and having fun. I will definitely recommend to all of my friends and families.
The whole trip was awesome. Great service from the captain and crew. Enjoyed our time on the sandbar. The views were breathtaking. The food was good. Saw many different type of fishes when snorkeling. Saw many sea turtles. Captain and crew were very informative. Definitely would do it again. Will recommend to others…
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.
This tour was so much fun!!!! The guys were very knowledgeable and made us feel comfortable
I would highly recommend no cage. I would be lying if I said I was not nervous. SO MUCH FUN
Our family enjoyed the boat ride. It was about 15 min away. The staff was wonderful. I was able to see only two turtles and some fish. That was very cool. The current was a bit strong at times. Glad the staff helped me with their surf boards.
My three kids ages: 4,5,8, had a hard time swimming because the current was a bit strong so they were only in the water for about 5 minutes. The goggles & snorkel equipment were too big for the toddlers. Next time we will pack ours. We did pack the vests for the kids but they do have some available.
They did see some turtles over the surface. Great weather. We did the 2 pm tour. Make sure to pack some nausea medicine, some folks felt very sick.
We liked being able to bring our own food & drinks.
My boyfriend and I and our two friends had the best time! Snorkeling was amazing and we had a blast on the catamaran ride! The whole crew was so friendly and helpful and made us feel so comfortable! Would 100% come back again!
It was an awesome experienced from all of us! Kids enjoyed the snorkeling so much that we did it again in Hanauma Bay. It’s highly recommended for vacationers. Must to do list if you’re in Oahu Island!
If you have kayaking skills, this is the way to snorkel and experience Kaneohe Bay without paying a lot of money. Amazing snorkeling experience.
Aloha Ivy! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure! And thank you for taking the time to leave such a nice review for us. I am glad to hear it sounds like you had a very good experience with us, but I did want to point out that a 1-star is actually the worst score possible in their rating system. I was really concerned when I saw that we had received a 1-star review, but then was relieved to read your review and hear that it sounds like you had a good experience. I don't know if you're able to change it now, but if so, 5 stars would be the best possible score, 1 star is the worst. But no matter what, stoked to hear you had a great kayak and snorkel experience, hope to see you again soon. Mahalo!
The crew were friendly, but the photographer was no good. Don’t purchase the pictures. They are not worth it. She basically only took pictures of u on the boat, which u can also do with your own camera. When it’s time to go under water, the photographer was too busy snorkeling herself. We had to chase her down for some pictures, but it came out super blurry. At the end when the pictures package were emailed to us, it consists many Google under water sea life images. I’d recommend u bring ur own phone with waterproof pouch, the pictures will be so much better.
It was an incredible and amazing experience!! Words can’t explain how great everything was
We were having a great time on vacation and were looking forward to snorkeling and enjoying some drinks. The staff (specifically jay jay and Noah) were being very unprofessional. They weren’t treating us as if we were paying customers. At first we tried to excuse it as they were being goofy. Then we heard Noah say, “there’s jay jay back at it again,” and he had his phone out recording a video directed towards my girlfriends butt as she was trying to snorkel. This immediately made us feel uncomfortable. We confronted jay jay about it afterwards and he said he was filming Noah but that obviously felt like a lie. This unprofessional behavior brought a burden and discomfort to our vacation. We ended up not drinking as we both felt uncomfortable. We would like to be refunded.
A heartfelt welcoming by the family team! Loved that they are down to earth, invoke conversation with you, dead serious about your safety and constantly staying vigil of your swim out with the sharks. They constantly checked in with you to see how you’re doing from riding to from on the boat, to swimming in the open ocean. It was great to see the sharks get up close to you to make you a bit alert but nothing I could say was dangerous and a close encounter. I will come back to them for sure!! Island view Shark Dive Tour will be the place I’ll be recommending others to go try. Thank you team for a spectacular experience for my son and I.
We had a blast on this tour. The crew, food and humor made this trip a memorable one. They were very helpful and had two lifeguards on standby to assist if needed.
The crew is super friendly and helpful. This was one of my favorite parts of the trip. The sandbar is beautiful and secluded. They are very helpful in snorkeling as well.
The crew was professional and great. The whole experience was awesome. We had fun and it was a beautiful view. 5 star rating
Saw lots of turtles and fish! Boat was clean, safe and well staffed. Bring a hat and lots of sunscreen. Crew of 5 and it was easy to get equipment on and ready. Our group had about 33 which was a lot - made for close quarters at times and a line at the stairs. Crew was quiet and all business … they were likely sick of tourists at this point. Beautiful pictures and scenery. Really nice catamaran.
Had wonderful time at the sandbar playing volleyball. Lots of fish to look at during snorkeling at the reef. The crew was helpful, courteous, and knowledgeable. Their involvement with the guest made the excursion.most memorable.
Professional transportation, friendly staff communicated agenda well, food was delicious. Views and activities were amazing.
Would definitely do it again. Well worth the money.
We did not see any turtles. Kinda wish my money was more worth it for that reason.
Aloha Shay, we're very sorry for not being able to see
Book early, fun trip! This was recommended to me by a coworker who visited a month before my family. Glad I took her advice, loved it! We were upgraded to a private boat and loved our guide. He took us to the regular spot as well as a more private spot. We got lucky and saw many honu both big and small. It also helped that the weather was perfect. Definitely will do this trip again next time we’re at this island.
Wow! what a good Upgrade
It was our first tour with Captain Bob. Amazing crew members and customer service was above and beyond.
We'll be back next year :)
I loved this experience. Everyone was so nice to us, they made us laugh and made us feel like family. I would totally recommend this….. oh yeah and the views were spectacular!
The crew was amazing! Best experience ever! Enjoyed the lunch and Sandbar was my favorite.
Such a great time. The crew are fun and laid back. The trip is perfectly timed. Just a short trip, with fun waves and splashes, out to see a fun array of fish and get nose to nose with several turtles! Ideal for experienced snorkelers.
We had 8 of us and we all had a great time , the staff is excellent and the burgers and beans were bomb , thanks for great day in the water , we will be back next time we visit the island.
A Great trip. Amazing sea turtles & friendly crew!
Had lots of fun. The staff were friendly! Would use them again!
Great time had by all! Great for 7 year olds! The fresh water shower when coming out of the ocean was a special touch. It rinsed the salt water from my hair and suit before returning to dry land! Good food too! Best meal I’ve had on one of these trips!
This was so much fun. FINS ARE INCLUDED. Try doing it on Saturday with Captain Junior and his crew. They are awesome.
