All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

I had a very nice time. The music on the boat was the best part. You can bring snacks and alcohol so don't forget to bring a cooler of goodies. The snorkeling was fun but kinda boring to just paddle around in circles on a kayak. Overall, it was a very fun day in the sun.

So fun! The price is well worth all the memories! All staff were wonderful. Donuts were a huge plus. So glad we booked with them and would definitely pick this activity again on our next visit.

We went on the afternoon tour. Weather was perfect. It was cool to go to the sandbar. They feed you lunch right as you board, it was fresh and good. Pineapple was great. Music was nice and whole crew were caring and friendly. They let you bring your own masks but do not allow full face masks. I was not 100% comfortable putting my mouth on something so many others used although they do bleach them. I hate drinking salt water using that type of snorkel gear. Even though it’s not regulated by the company it was still disappointing. Also the water was 4-5 feet deep. They also insisted on babes in arms wear a life jacket and our little grandson wouldn’t tolerate the jacket although he loves water. So I would say this is not a very good choice for very little children. My daughter hardly got a chance to do anything or enjoy much of the afternoon. At least the boat was a nice refuge. Feel like I paid a lot for a sandwhich, boat ride, and dip in the ocean. I could’ve snorkeled on the beach using my own gear (which I have ) for less. The floating raft with couches was nice and I saw a few fish snorkeling after I caved and used their gear. I feel like this is kind of a tourist trap for the money. I’m spite of all that we had a fun afternoon.

It’s so beautiful and remember to do the banana boat or bumper tubes. An unforgettable experience with great live music. The water feels amazing I recommend snorkeling.

This was our first time for this excursion and our family loved it. Especially riding the banana boat. This was one of our highlights here in Hawaii. The staff were very helpful in everything.

I really think this is one of the best tours offered on Oahu. They provide you with 4 hours on the water on the most beautiful side of Oahu, offer free pickup and drop off to Waikiki, provide lunch and refreshments, and sell beer and wine all day long! We had a great time drinking some beers, playing volleyball at the sandbar, relaxing in the water, and snorkeling at the coral reef. I saw 3 huge eels, and 2 giant puffers and we also saw a dozen turtles around the boat during the duration of the tour. Also, every crew member was so helpful and kind. They were engaging with everyone, helping everyone out every chance they could, and just overall had great energy on the boat which creates an even better tour. We really enjoyed it! Mahalo for everything!

Had a wonderful time! Everyone of the crew was an absolute pleasure! They were very knowledgeable and so nice. I would highly recommend. It was very family friendly.

This experience was a perfect way to end our vacation. It went above my expectations. Everything from lunch, the music, the atmosphere, & the beautiful waters of Hawai’i. Providing us with different activities was perfect and when we just wanted to relax it was nice knowing that we could relax comfortably on a lounge area or just in the clear blue waters. The amount time that was provided was a perfect amount of time . I highly recommend this company to everyone❤️ I will definitely be back for this experience again.

I was referred by a friend that went couple years back, so we decided to go since it was our first time going to Hawaii. It was so much fun and all the staff was so friendly!!

Literally the coolest thing we have ever done! We went as a big family of 16 with kids and we all enjoyed it and got out in the water.

I loved the whole atmosphere. The staff were very accommodating and the performers were oustanding.

We want to express our extreme satisfaction with the snorkeling tour we took with our family this morning (10:30 am tour). In particular, the crew of the boat (Junyah, Bella, Josiah, Julian, and Amos) were very professional and accommodating. We really liked that all of your staff were clear with their instructions, but also relaxed and light humored. We really appreciated the time and attention they gave to our daughter, Olivia, who was snorkeling for the first time and required a lot of additional attention. Even though we required extra attention, no one was rude or impatient with us - in fact, they were very kind and understanding. Thanks again to your crew for such a positive experience!

Kaneohe sandbar is simply an amazing place! Food was good and the performance by the musicians was simply outstanding! I highly recommend it to anyone! All the staff was nice and very helpful.

This activity was very well worth every penny. We’ve never met such friendly people (staff). We did the morning package and it was just what we needed, you’re allowed to bring your own gear as well as your own snacks and drinks! Our favorite part was listening to the band whom sang and played so beautifully on your way to and from the sandbar. This is a must if you’re in Oahu!

It was a really great time and vibes with the whole crew. Definitely recommend it to anybody coming to experience Hawaii. I will definitely come back next time in in Hawaii.

Amazing captain and crew. Saw dolphins, turtles, had a fantastic snorkeling site, enjoyed cruising on the boat and the food and drinks were great. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

We had the best time! The staff were so friendly and helpful. The live music was an added bonus. We loved the variety of activities. Would definitely recommend!

Like I said it is affordable. The kids running the boat we’re friendly an did the best they could. 22 people, some of which had not only never snorkeled, but were clearly uncomfortable in the water were too much for the crew to safely manage. I personally had to save a struggling passenger while the guy that was working the lifeguard shift was wrangling other dingdongs! Not the lifeguards fault he was just dealing with too many other folks and couldn’t get to the panicky woman fast enough. I don’t mind, I am a water rescue swimmer with my fire department but still… Her screaming for help couldn’t be heard over the clamoring of the other passengers on deck and the music playing onboard. When folks are in the water 100% attention to the swimmers is the only safe option and if you can’t hear them then the music needs to be off and eyes need to be on the swimmers. The operation was also billed as a sailing and snorkeling adventure with sailing being the key word for me. The wind was fine and other boats were sailing but our sails never went up. If you’re on a budget do it. but for 20-30 more you could do the same thing with a power boat, dolphins and turtles, food and water, and a photographer who would gladly sell you the images from the trip for a few extra dollars. In all honesty a confident swimmer could have reached turtle canyon in a easy half hour of swimming but that’s not for everyone.

For those of you who don’t swim, don’t feel comfortable in the water, or have small children that don’t swim. this is not how you spend your money. Endangering yourself or your family because “anyone can snorkel” in open water, when you’ve never done it before makes the trip that much less enjoyable for everyone including the crew. It is not their job to pay all their attention to you, and it becomes unsafe for everyone else.

Any chance to get in the water will always be awesome for me so like I said it is affordable. If it’s your best option yay!
Go for it!

Fantastic Crew. Everything on the boat was in order. Lots of snacks. Very guidning Crew who met your every need. Sandbar and snorkel was super. Will book with Captain Bruce again. Saw Big turtles at the reef. Pick up and return to your hotel.

After the end of COVID, there were only two groups of Japanese people, including us. The rest were from other countries.
Since there are Japanese staff, they kindly taught us everything and checked in on us.
They even took photos for us, which we really appreciated.
The sandbar had high transparency and was incredibly beautiful!!!
We saw several sea turtles from the boat!
During snorkeling, we were able to see two of them up close!
It was truly the best experience to see so many friendly staff and cute sea turtles.
The light meal hamburger was also delicious!
They had hand sanitizer available, which made us feel safe.

I definitely want to participate again, and it was a tour I would want to recommend to acquaintances!

コロナ明けで日本人は私たち含め2組だけでした。そのほかは他の国の方たちばかりです。
日本人のスタッフがいるので、何から何まで親切に教えてくれたり、声をかけてくれます。
写真も撮ってくれます^ ^ とてもありがたかったです。
サンドバーは透明度が高く、とてもとても綺麗でした！！！
ら海ガメは船の上から何匹も見れました！
シュノーケルでは間近で2匹も見ることができました！
親切なスタッフとかわいい海ガメをたくさん見れて、本当に最高の体験でした^ ^
軽食のハンバーガーも美味しかったです！
手指消毒も置いてあって安心でした。

また参加したいなと思うのと
知人にも紹介したくなるツアーでした！

I actually did not really like this experience. We ate breakfast at 10am, just in time to be picked up at our hotel, which was really nice. We got there and right away we were told very rudely that we had to eat lunch as soon as we got in the boat or we were not getting anything to eat at all. For a trip that says that you are required to bring a motion sickness treatment for the boat ride, eating lunch on the way there really seamed unlikely. I would of thought that they would serve lunch and you can choose when you are ready to eat sometime after we arrived at the sandbar.
Second, I know this is out of their control, but the water was freezing and the area we could do activities was so limited. They had snorkeling and paddle boarding. There were no fish in sight and the water is like 3 feet deep. I would rather spend my time going and buying lunch and spend my afternoon at Waikiki beach then spend the money to do this activity, Not really a happy customer.

My wife struggled with snorkeling for the first time, but the staff member Chris was kind and attentive in Japanese, allowing us to have a great time.

妻が初めてのシュノーケリングで上手く出来なかったが、スタッフのクリスが日本語で優しく丁寧に対応してくれて、楽しく過ごすことが出来た。

Far exceeded my expectations. Crew was great, attentive as well as the live music. The 3 hours flew by and we did not want to leave after a banana boat ride, snorkeling, volleyball and relaxing on the lounge. Ive been to Hawaii many times... this was one of my favorite things to do. The early trip (9am) is probably the better option because parking is very limited and you will have to park on the street and walk a bit to the pier. Also bring cash because there's no ATM in the market and you will want to leave a tip for the crew and band. A must do if you go to Hawaii!!!

Such a fun time for young large groups! Came with a large group of 16 all in our 20’s. It felt like the live musicians were personalizing their song picks to us and interacted with us. There’s several activities to choose from. The lounger is great and looks so good for photos!! Tubing was so fun, and it seemed like the crew was having a good time as well. Definitely recommend the raft vs the banana boat for a more extreme time! I just wish we had more times to fully do all the activities, I wouldn’t have minded and extra 30 mins or 1hr. This activity would be fun for families, but since it’s BYOB I recommend it more for young groups. Can’t recommend this activity enough!!

I signed up for the Dolphin School with the expectation of seeing dolphins. It was mentioned that there was a good chance of encountering them, but unfortunately, I was unable to see any dolphins. Since it was an early morning tour, I was quite tired. However, if you don't encounter dolphins, the next time you participate in the same tour, the tour fee is free, so I plan to take revenge on my next trip to Hawaii.

イルカを見る事ができると期待して、イルカ中学を申し込みました。かなりの確率でイルカに遭遇出来るとありましたが、残念ながらイルカに遭遇する事ができませんでした。早朝スタートのツアーだったため、かなり疲れました。イルカに遭遇出来なかった場合は、次回同じツアー参加の際はツアー料金無料との事ですので、次回ハワイ旅行の際にはリベンジするつもりです。

The tour group that hosts this is top! Everyone on their staff was so friendly and helpful. We had a great time as a family of 6. My girls both wanted to try the paddle board and the staff was great about giving them solid instructions. Snorkeling was delightful and the total water experience was well worth the money spent. Only regret was we did not bring a GoPro or some sort of waterproof camera setup as we got zero picture of this experience :-(

Like the trip very much!

We loved our excursion to Kaneohe Sanbar, and had a lot of fun activities to keep us busy. The crew was awesome. We also enjoyed the live music. Great experience overall!

Everything was great
Loved the music
Activities were perfect
The crew was so sweet and helpful loved everything about this trip
I would definitely go back. Enjoyed every minute of the Sand bar

This excursion was amazing. The trip out was smooth, the staff was super friendly and helpful! The snorkeling and activities were so much fun!! I highly recommend the morning tour, the weather was amazing! We had a little bit of rain before the sun peeked out and gave us a beautiful time. The view was breathtaking, as the clouds parted the views of the mountains were unbelievable! Would definitely do this again.
