Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkeling Tour & BBQ Lunch with Waikiki Pickup

Big Kudos to Captain Bob's Crew!

Reviewed by: Douglas & Carol Kidwell

This was our 3rd trip to Oahu and the first time going out with Captain Bob. It was a well organized function with a superb crew! Having the first stop to the sandbar for volleyball was an excellent way for newbies to get used to snorkeling. It also allowed people to get acclimated to the water before getting into the snorkeling around the reef. Their choice in reef was nothing short of excellent! There was a large variety of fish to view to include several Moray Eels that swam about. The location also allowed a beautiful view of the Main Island and isolated islands off the coast. The only complaint is there was a young crew member who needed to pull up his bathing suit a little bit. He was a very nice young man & friendly with everyone but a bit more modesty would have been appreciated.
Overall, the event was great; everyone had an enjoyable time, and would recommend it to anyone visiting Oahu.

It was beautiful!! 綺麗でしたよ!!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

One of the places I absolutely wanted to visit when I went to Hawaii after seeing photos in a travel magazine. It was truly beautiful and I was deeply moved. It seems to be one of the world's top power spots, and I was able to relax completely. I even got to meet a lucky sea turtle, so I’m sure many good things are waiting for me when I return to Japan (laughs).

As for snorkeling, only my friends participated while I watched from the boat, but it seemed there weren't as many fish as I had expected. It appears that it is greatly affected by the climate and weather.

Since it mentioned "change of clothes" in the items to bring, I brought extra clothes and underwear to participate, but I was told it was fine to ride the return bus in my wet swimsuit, so I just laid a beach towel down and got on. There wasn't even time to change, and it seemed everyone else got on the bus as they were, so it looked like it wasn't necessary to bring a change of clothes for the return trip to keep our luggage light.

旅行雑誌の写真を見てハワイへ行ったら絶対行きたかったところの一つでした。本当に綺麗で感激でしたよ。世界有数のパワースポットでもあるらしく、心底リラックスできました。幸運を呼ぶ海がめちゃんにも会うことができましたので日本に帰ってきてからきっと良いことがたくさん待ってるはずです（笑）
シュノーケルは友人だけの参加で私は船の上で眺めていましたが、あまり期待していたよりはお魚はいなかったようです。やはり、気候や天候に大きく左右されるようですね。
持ち物に「着替え」と書いてあったので着替えの洋服や下着なども持って参加したのですが、帰りのバスは濡れた水着のまま乗って大丈夫ですとゆうことだったので、そのままバスタオルを敷いて乗りました。着替の時間も無かったですし、皆さんそのままバスに乗られていたようなので、荷物を少なくするためにも帰りの着替えは持たなくてよさそうでした。

It's the best! 最高！です

Reviewed by: toshie&miyoko

I participated in the tour on the afternoon of September 24 with a friend. The only other participants were a couple from abroad. My first visit to Hanauma Bay was beautiful and moving! It was also my first time snorkeling, and I was quite anxious (the other three were experienced), but our guide Alan explained everything in fluent Japanese, which made me feel a bit more at ease. After a little practice, we headed out to the deeper water... At first, I struggled to breathe and panicked while half drowning, but Alan held my hand the whole time, so I felt safe even when my feet couldn't touch the bottom. Gradually, I got used to it, and when I looked around, I saw so many beautiful fish swimming! I even got to see a sea turtle, and I was extremely satisfied! I was swimming the whole time, so I got a little tired, but it was so much fun. I would love to participate again when I go to Hawaii. Thank you, Alan!☆

It had been 10 years since I last went snorkeling, but thanks to the careful instruction I received, I had a great time. However, I went with my 70-year-old parents, and it seemed that snorkeling was too much for them, so they gave up on-site. But they enjoyed the beautiful underwater fish with just their goggles.

シュノーケリングは10年ぶりだったのですが、丁寧に指導していただいたおかげで大変楽しくできました。ただ、70歳の両親と一緒に行ったのですが、彼らにはシュノーケルはムリだったようで現場で断念していました。でも水中メガネだけで美しい海中の魚たちを堪能していました。

It was a great experience. いい体験でした

Reviewed by: ナミ

It was a very enjoyable tour. The guide was very proficient in Japanese, so I didn't feel too anxious about my first snorkeling experience. Also, since it was a small group tour, I think it was great for enjoying communication with other participants. We were with a couple from New York, USA, and there were a total of four of us, but we had fun chatting even with our limited English.

As for snorkeling, I was able to see many fish up close. I even saw a very large fish swimming right in front of me. There were also sea turtles! They picked us up at the hotel at 7:30 in the morning, so waking up early was a bit tough, but it might be better to go to Hanauma Bay in the morning after waking up early. This is because by the time we finished and were leaving, there was a long line of cars in the parking lot.

Also, don't forget to inform them of your shoe size when you sign up! I forgot, so the fins were a bit too big for me, and one came off while I was in the water. The guide quickly picked it up for me, though.

とても楽しいツアーでした。
ガイドさんがとても日本語が上手な方で、初めてのシュノーケリングもあまり不安に感じませんでした。
また、少人数のツアーの為、他の参加者とのコミュニケーションを楽しむことができると思います。私たちのときはアメリカのニューヨーク州から来た夫婦と一緒で、合計４名でしたが、片言の英語ながらも会話ができて楽しかったです。
シュノーケリングですが、とたくさんの魚を間近でみることができました。とても大きな魚が目の前を泳いでいくのも見えました。海がめもいましたよ！
朝の七時半にホテルに迎えに来たので、早起きが少しつらかったですが、ハナウマ湾へは早起きして午前中に行くのがいいのかもしれません。というのも私たちが終わって帰る頃には駐車場にも車の長い列ができていましたから。
それから、申し込みの時には足のサイズも知らせておくのをお忘れなく！私は忘れていたためにフィンのサイズが少し大きく、海中で一度脱げてしまいました。ガイドの方がすぐに拾ってくれましたが。

Hanauma Bay is amazing. ハナウマ湾　最高です

Reviewed by: 海カメ子

It was an option tour that exceeded my expectations. I'm glad I signed up. I bought snorkeling shoes from Japan just in case, but they provided shoes as well, and they lent us mats and had life jackets available. I brought a waterproof case for my valuables, but Alan let me put my belongings in a large case he brought, so I didn't need the waterproof case. They also provided mineral water and snacks, so I only needed to bring a bath towel; everything was prepared for us. I dislike getting sunburned, so I brought a rash guard, which helped me avoid burning my shoulders. As a beginner, I was worried about whether I could snorkel, but they taught me patiently, and I was able to breathe well and clear water from my nose without panicking, which surprised me. The reason I, who have poor athletic ability, was able to snorkel for the first time was that Alan held my hand and guided me the whole time! I felt very safe swimming. Thank you so much. Although the price was a bit higher than others, the experience was worth more than the cost. I saw a sea turtle right after I started swimming, and there were many fish; the scenery was so beautiful that it felt like I was watching a video!

期待以上のオプションツアーでした。申し込んで良かったです。シュノーケリングのシューズを念のため日本から買って着たけど、ちゃんとシューズも付いてました、ゴザも貸してくれて、ライフジャケットありました、貴重品を入れる為防水ケースも持ってきたけど、アランさんが持ってきた大きなケースに荷物を入れさせてくれたから、防水ケースも必要無しでした、ミネラルウォーターとスナックもあり、バスタオルだけ持って行けば良いほど、全て用意してくれていました、　私は焼けるのが嫌なのでラッシュガードを持って来ました、お陰で肩が焼けずにすんでよかった。初心者なのでシュノーケリング出来るか心配でしたが、丁寧教えてくれて、上手に息継ぎが出来、鼻の水抜きも慌て無く上手に出来自分でもビックリです、どうして運動神経が悪い私が初めてからシュノーケリングが出来たのはアランさんが初めてから最後までずうと私の手を引っ張って泳いでくれたからです！！とても安心して泳げました♪本当にありがとうございました。他より高めの値段ですが、値段以上の体験出来ました。海ガメも泳ぎ初めてすぐ見れ魚も沢山いて今みてる景色が綺麗でまるでビデオでも見てるような気がしたほどです♪

I went to Hawaii for the first time. I was really interested in the sandbar, so I participated in this option. It was even more beautiful and wonderful than I had seen in photos. It felt great, and I’m really glad I joined. However, there weren't many fish, so it might have been more fun if there were more fish around. Also, the time spent in the ocean was a bit short, so I would have appreciated a longer duration. The staff, including a Japanese person, provided thorough explanations from start to finish, which made me feel reassured. I highly recommend it.

初めてハワイに行きました。サンドバーがすごく気になっていたので、このオプションに参加しました。
写真で見てた以上に綺麗で素敵でした。気持ち良くて参加してみてすごく良かったです。

It was an absolute pleasure spending the day w/these guys, they were extremely hospitable, made sure we had something to drink as soon as we borded, made sure everyone was entertained and that nobody had empty plates in there hands. There were 2 locations, the first was the sand bar where you could either play volley ball or you can have a practice run with your snorkle gear, we opted for snorkeling even tho there really werent any fish but we managed to keep ourselves occupied. The water is gorgeous! After re-bording the Barefoot I, they had a nice lunch spread out for us, and you can purchase beers for i think about 4 bux a pop. We then moved on to our next location which was a reef, it was the best snorkeling experience i've had, lots of fish, caves, a sea turtle & an octopus (which i didnt get to see), it seemed that we got to spend alot of time in the water which was really kewl! On the way back, the driver was pointing out movie locations and stuff, such as Gilligan's Island

The sea of heaven. It's truly the best. It feels great! Moreover, there are places where you can walk even if you can't swim, so I had no worries at all. After that, we went snorkeling at the tropical fish and sea turtle spots, but I was so scared at the tropical fish spot that I skipped entering the water at the sea turtle spot. Still, I was satisfied to see a turtle floating by. The fun Hawaiian vibe and the guide's talk really got everyone excited. When my body got wet, even though the temperature was high, it felt so cold that my teeth were chattering. It was about 35 degrees that day... I definitely recommend bringing a jacket. Next time, I want to learn a bit of swimming and participate again!

天国の海。本当に最高です。気持ちがいい！しかも泳げなくても歩けるところなので、全く心配ありませんでした。その後の熱帯魚と海がめスポットでのシュノーケリングでしたが、熱帯魚スポットでびびった私は海がめのスポットでは恐ろしくて入水をパスしました。それでも浮いてきた亀を見れたので満足です。ハワイアンの楽しいノリとガイドさんのトークでものすごく盛り上がりました。体が水にぬれると、気温は高くても歯がガクガクするほど寒く感じました。当日も35度くらいあったのに…是非上着を持参することをお勧めします。今度は少し泳ぎを覚えて、また是非参加したいです！

This was my husband and I first time in Hawaii and our 1st activity was snorkeling in Hanauma Bay. Our guided snorkel tour, Allyn was very helpful and he brought snacks and drinks for us that was well needed for this activity. Equipments were provided. The snorkeling was awesome; we were taken to about 8 feet or more of water and had a chance to swim with the fishes. Hanauma Bay is beautiful but with this hands-on experience, we both learned to appreciate it. There were tons of fishes out there as we were snorkeling and we also had a chance to get very close to the corals. Overall, my husband and I enjoyed this very much. Thank you so much.

While observing many fish and coral reefs, we went to a recommended spot by the expert, and there, a sea turtle was swimming!!

I saw a sea turtle! 居ました！ウミガメ

Reviewed by: 一姫二太郎

I participated with my 5-year-old, 9-year-old, and 11-year-old children. I had confirmed the sizes of the fins with Alan in advance, but there were no sizes available for my 5-year-old. It seems there are no sizes below 20 centimeters. As a result, my 5-year-old had to swim and dive in a larger size. The activity lasted about 45 minutes, and we encountered many colorful fish and even saw a sea turtle, which was thrilling! I heard afterward that the divers woke the turtle up from its sleep. There are several spots where the turtles sleep. Even though it was only 45 minutes, it felt like we swam a lot, and by the end, I was exhausted. The diver took care of my 5-year-old the whole time, which was a great help. I don't think we could have gone to such a distant place on our own. For lunch, the voucher mentioned "light meals and snacks," so I thought we would get something like sandwiches and skipped breakfast, but all we received were snack foods and bottled water, which made me feel a bit unwell. It's better to have a light meal before participating. After diving, it was so cold that I was shivering, but sunbathing after taking a shower and changing was the best!

５歳、９歳、１１歳の子供を連れての参加でした。フィン等のサイズ、事前にAlanに確認はしていたのですが、５歳の子供に合うサイズがありませんでした。２０センチ以下のサイズはないそうです。その為５歳の子供は、大きいサイズで泳ぎ、潜る事になりました。約４５分程の行程でしたが、沢山の色とりどりの魚に会え、また、ウミガメにも遭遇し、感激♪沖に上がって聞いたのですが、ウミガメは、ダイバーの方が、寝ているのを起こしてくれたそうです。何箇所かウミガメの眠っている箇所があるそうです。４５分と言っても、随分泳いだ気分になりましたし、最後は疲れてヘトヘトでした。５歳の子供は、ずっとダイバーの方が世話をしてくださり、助かりました。家族だけでは、遠い場所へは行けなかったと思います。昼は“軽食、スナック”とバウチャーにあったので、サンドウィッチくらいが出るのかと思って、昼食を抜いての参加でしたが、出たのはスナック菓子とペットボトルの水のみでしたので、少し気分が悪くなりました。参加の前には軽く食事をした方がいいです。潜り終えた後は、寒くて震える程でしたが、シャワーして着替えた後の日光浴は最高でした。

It was like a different world!! 別世界でした！！

Reviewed by: ふうたん

We participated as a couple. I had been curious about the sandbar for a long time, and when I found it through a campaign this time, I made a reservation without hesitation. There were quite a few people participating, and we departed from the Kaneohe Bay harbor on two boats. While circling the beautiful sea where we could see the mountains of Kualoa and Chinaman's Hat, we spotted wild sea turtles from the boat. I had imagined the sandbar would be close to the land, but in reality, it suddenly exists in the middle of the ocean, quite far from the shore, surrounded by nothing, and it was more beautiful than I had expected, like a different world! The sea and sand were beautiful, resembling a private beach, and although the time was short, it was a precious experience. We went snorkeling, but there were hardly any fish. A group of older men and women who were on the same boat seemed to be looking forward to playing on the sandbar, but the distance from where the boat stopped to the sandy beach was close, yet the depth was not shallow enough to walk in with clothes on, so they ended up waiting on the boat while everyone else played, which was quite unfortunate. However, the wonderful experience that can only be had here is something I highly recommend! The water is shallow, so it's also recommended for children!

夫婦で参加しました。以前からサンドバーがずっと気になってましたが、今回キャンペーンで見つけ迷わず予約しました。かなり沢山の方が参加していて、カネオへ湾の港から２艘の船で出発しました。クアロアの山々やチャイナマンズハットが見える綺麗な海をぐるっと周りながら、途中野生のウミガメを船の上から見ました。サンドバーは、陸から近い所にあるのを想像してましたが、実際は陸からだいぶ離れた周りに何も無い海の真ん中に突如存在し、そこだけ別世界の様で思っていた以上に綺麗でした！！海も砂も美しくプライベートビーチの様で、時間は短めでしたが貴重な体験が出来ました。シュノーケリングをしましたが、魚はほとんどいませんでした。同じ船に乗ってきた年配の男女数名のグループの方たちが、海には入れないがサンドバーに降りて遊ぶのを楽しみにしてたみたいですが、船が停まった場所から砂浜までの距離が、近いけれど深さが洋服のまま行ける深さでは無く結局サンドバーに降りれずにみんなが遊んでる間船の上で待っていたのがとても可哀想でした。でもここでしか味わえない素晴らしさなので、ぜひ参加して欲しいです！海も浅いので子供さんにもオススメですよ！

It was fun!! 楽しかった！！

Reviewed by: コムたん

I participated with my two sons (middle schoolers). The only other participants were a foreign couple. The driver and instructor was fluent in Japanese and very kind.

We were able to smoothly ride the trolley from the parking lot to the beach without waiting at the entrance or for movie admission.

Having never snorkeled before and lacking confidence in swimming, I initially thought I would let my sons participate while I stayed in shallow water. However, the instructor took my hand and guided me through the waves, pushing me out to deeper water. Thanks to him, I was able to see colorful fish, schools of fish, and turtles right in front of me, which was incredibly exciting.

Since my sons and the foreign couple were also beginners, the instructor wrapped things up early. My son seemed to want to do more, but I felt it would be rude to request more time since I was monopolizing the instructor.

But overall, it was a lot of fun.

私(40代･女性)と息子達2人(中学生)と参加しました。あとは外人のカップルでした。ドライバー兼インストラクターの達人は日本語が流暢で、とても優しい方でした。
駐車場から浜辺までの坂道を走るトロリーの乗車も、入り口や映画の入場も待たずにスイスイ行けました。
シュノーケリングをしたことがない上、泳ぎに自信のない私は、息子達だけ参加させて 自分は浅い所でチャプチャプやっていようと思っていたのですが、達人が私と手をつなぎ、波の高い所では身体をグイグイ押して沖まで連れて行ってくれました。おかげで色とりどりの魚、魚群、亀を目の前に見る事が出来、大変感激しました。
私以外の息子達や外人カップルも初心者だった為か、達人が早めに切り上げ、終了となりました。息子はもっとやりたかったようですが、私が達人を独占していたので　そんなリクエストをするのは申し訳なく思え、言えませんでした。

If you want to see fish at Hanauma Bay, this is the place. ハナウマ湾で魚を見たいならココ

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Compared to other Hanauma Bay tours, the price is set higher, but I believe the satisfaction level will be high. They go to offshore points that others don't visit, so the density of fish is different! I think the only comparable experience is a beginner diving tour (where you generally see fish in the same areas).

You can also see sea turtles and encounter large fish like parrotfish. You’ll get to see schools of fish as well. The guide, Alan, speaks Japanese fluently.

We participated as a couple, and there were two foreign siblings joining us. My wife cannot swim at all. It was her second time snorkeling, but she was quite worried as she wasn't used to the equipment. I thought it was reckless to participate since she might panic if water got into her gear, but she wore a life jacket, so it seems she managed to enjoy it safely.

However, it could be dangerous depending on the participants. In our case, a foreign child panicked, and the guide went to help. My wife was left alone and panicked as well. I helped her, but at that moment, I thought it was quite serious.

After that, we decided to return to the shore earlier than planned. The current in the bay is quite strong. Even those who cannot swim at all can enjoy it with Alan's support, but it's better to be cautious when there are multiple people.

他のハナウマ湾ツアーと比べると高い料金設定ですが、きっと満足度は高いと思います。他の人が行かない沖のポイントまで行くので魚の密度が違う！　このツアーに匹敵するのは体験ダイビングのツアーだけだと思います。（大体同じところで魚を見ます）
海亀も見れます。ブダイ系の大型の魚にも会えます。魚群にも会えます。
ガイドのアランは日本語は流暢に話せます。
私たちは夫婦で参加しました。他に外国の兄弟が２名参加でした。嫁は全く泳げません。シュノーケリングは２回目でしたが機材に慣れていなくてかなり心配でした。機材に水が入ったりするとパニックになるので参加は無謀と思いましたがライフジャケットを着るので無事に楽しめたようです。
ただ、ツアー参加者によっては危険かもしれません。私たちの場合、外国の方の子供がパニックになりガイドが助けに行きました。嫁が放置されてこちらもパニック。私が助けましたがこのときはさすがにヤバイと思いました。
このあと予定を繰り上げて浜に戻りました。
湾内の流れは結構速いです。全く泳げない人でもアランがサポートしますので楽しめますが複数居るときは注意した方がいいでしょう。

Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkeling Tour & BBQ Lunch with Waikiki Pickup

Can't wait to come back!

We all had a great time and I cannot say enough on how wonderful all the crew members are! They were all very attentive and helpful as well. My sister had never been snorkeling before and they had her swimming around and looking at fish in in no time. The area is also beautiful too and how cool was it to hang out on the sand bar in the middle of the bay?! Great time!

Small Group Snorkel Tour with Personal Guide at Hanauma Bay [Open Soon]

First time snorkeling

Reviewed by: Billy and Mahtab

This was our first experience snorkeling and my wife cannot swim. Our instructor, Alan, helped my wife overcome her fears and we were both able to enjoy the bay. Alan took great care to guide us and make us feel comfortable. We immediately observed a multitude of fish and coral reef creatures in some of the clearest water we encountered on Oahu. We fell in love with snorkeling and will definitely do it again. We would definitely recommend this adventure to everyone.

Snorkelling fun

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

We had fun, but we like to do our own thing also. The tour was great, but the group thing is not really to our taste. Thanks for a fun time though.
