Waikiki Guided Beach Snorkeling Tour for Beginners with FREE Photos & Videos

Awesome experience for beginners (non-swimmers).

Reviewed by: aj3031

We are a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids 9yr old and 6yr old). Instructor was very patient enough to guide us how to snorkel. He provided us some tricks to make snorkeling easier for beginners. He was always there to help us out and made us feel comfortable. Except for my spouse everyone else in the group are non-swimmers, the instructor helped us navigate through the water, and to top it he took amazing videos of us while snorkeling :)

Kaneohe Bay Kayak & Snorkel Self-Guided Tour [Tour Not Available]

Half day paddle

Reviewed by: Lisen

It was a very windy day unfortunately so we couldn’t paddle out to the proper sand bar ( they told us not to). We paddle to the smaller sand bars closer to the shore, but we should have needed a guide, it was hard to know if we were in the right place and we saw almost nothing such as fishes and stuff, we did see one turtle that raced past us so fast. We had booked for a half day but we where only away for 2,5 hours because also the water was cold…
Maybe this excursion should be during the summer months and not during winter time.
The crew where really nice and friendly and did there best to help us and guide us, although next time we would pay a little bit more and get a guide and maybe take a boat!

Yuki and the entire team are a fantastic crew. It’s clearly one of the best activities on the island. Highly recommend them! The volleyball on the sandbar, turtle sightings, and snorkeling along with all the food and drinks were very well coordinated.

Overall great experience! probably one of the best place to go kayaking in Hawaii. However, please be mindful that the sandbar would be under water in December. It's still shallow enough to enjoy and have a nice photo though!

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

The best snorkeling tour!

Reviewed by: Irene

I’ve been to around 6-7 different snorkel tours and the experience at Bob’s tour is by far the best. The tour is well planned, faculties are pretty new and the crew attend to a lot of details - like you’ll get a shower right after you get out of water which helps a lot if you don’t like the sea smell & want to get warm and dry quickly. The lunch is also really delicious. They even provide hot chocolate after the snorkeling, not to mention the beautiful white sand, dozens of turtles and tremendous view at the snorkeling point. Mahalo for the great experience!

2-Hour Turtle Canyon Snorkeling Cruise from Waikiki - Living Ocean Tours

THIS WAS FUN!!!

Reviewed by: Ian McCrary

My wife and I cam to Oahu for the first time with one thing in mind; we HAVE to go snorkeling! We initially chose Living Ocean Tours based on the affordability, but the experience was SO much better than we expected for the price! Not only did they thoroughly go over ever aspect of snorkeling, they GUIDED us to the good spots to see turtles, fish, and even some awesome reefs! The guides were even outgoing and easy to talk to which just made the whole experience that much better. My wife and I HIGHLY recommend checking them out. Thanks to the captain for getting us out into the ocean, and thanks to Joe and Preston for finding some awesome spots to see sea turtles! MAHALO

Waikiki Sea Turtle Snorkel Tour with One Drink | 2-Hour Morning Adventure aboard Moana Catamaran

An Incredible Experience

Reviewed by: Jesse

The crew from Moana Catamaran were awesome, laid back, and super helpful the entire experience! The classic island music, the weather, the catamaran.. all the vibes were perfect!

We saw a couple schools of Dolphins on the surface (which I believe is NOT common, so keep that in mind if you book!) and saw about 8-9 sea turtles during our time in the water. A few of them hung around the whole time and swam towards us so close we had to swim away to give them the distance they need.

The crew gave us everything we needed- snorkels, fins, and a floaty to make things super easy for our time in the water. I really enjoyed that it was a waist floaty and not a neck inflatable one like some of the other boats out there. Made it much more enjoyable.

Overall, we were mesmerized by the turtles and the fish / sea life that surrounded us, and had an amazing crew to take us to it. 10/10, 5/5, whatever you want to take from this. My wife said this was "the most amazing experience of her life", and I might even agree. :)

Thanks, Moana Catamaran, for an incredible experience.

Must try

Reviewed by: Tejasvi Gangaiah

I would highly recommend this tour of all the snorkeling tours. This is very good for swimmers and non swimmers as the water level is only about 4ft near the sandbar. There is a beautiful coral reef that swimmers can go. The instructors are very helpful for non swimmers as they take them personally to show the turtles.

サンドバー　キャプテンブルース　天国の海®︎シュノーケリングクルーズ　SUPや浮き輪などレンタルアイテムも！＜午前・午後／日本語クルー＞

I was disappointed for the price. 値段の割にはがっかりでした

Reviewed by: Julia

In December, I signed up with transportation included. I thought the ocean conditions would vary daily due to the tides. It was mentioned that there would be wetsuits on the boat, but there were none available. Inside the boat, there were tea, chips, and apples available for free.

When we arrived at the sandbar, the captain explained in English that we should not go behind the boat. In December, the water was quite cold, so it wasn't comfortable to stay in for long. We were brought back to the boat once for a snorkeling briefing. Personally, I think if they had explained it first, we wouldn't have had to come back up. It was too cold for me to go in a second time.

After the experience, I asked a local, and they said that due to climate change, the sea level has risen, making it rare for sandbars to form in recent years. At 148 cm tall, the water was just deep enough for me to stand. There were life jackets available. I felt that for this price, we could have done diving instead.

12月、送迎付きで申し込みました。海の状況は、満ち引きがあるため、コンディションは、日々違うと思って参加。
船内にウエットスーツがあると書いてありましたが、置いておらず。
船内にはお茶や、チップス、リンゴが置いてあります、自由に頂くことが可能です。
サンドバーに着いたら、船長より英語で船より後ろに行ってはいけないなどの説明があります。12月、水はかなり冷たいのでずーっと入ってられるという感じではありませんでした。途中で一回船に戻されて、シュノーケルの説明があります。個人的に、最初に説明すれば一度上がることなかったのになぁと思います。寒いから2回目入ることができませんでした。
体験後、現地の方に伺いましたが、温暖化の影響で海水量が増え、近年、サンドバーになる事は稀だそうです。身長148センチの私は、足がやっと着くくらいの深さでした。ライフジャケットはあります。この料金なら、ダイビングができたなぁと感じました。

The two ladies are so nice, professional, helpful and patient. The captain very patiently led my daughter to the reef to see turtles and fishes. After the tour, we found out that our rental car was dead at the harbor. The ladies and two other guys offered help, while we were calling the rental office. They checked and jump started the car. We managed to drive back to the car rental office for replacement. Otherwise, we would wait for toll service for at least 2 hours. We offered additional tips but they refused. Very touched. They are the best!!

The sandbar wasn’t exposed that day so we opted to snorkel at the different reefs and I’m so glad we decided to do that. The reefs are beautiful and there are a lot of fish to see. We saw several turtles too. The staff are very friendly. You can still use your phone data out at the reefs which made it a lot easier to find them on Google maps. I highly recommend this excursion
