Private Kaneohe Sandbar Speed Boat Rental with SUP & Snorkel – Captain Bruce

Excellent choice

Reviewed by: T. Le

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.

サンドバー キャプテンブルース 天国の海®︎ シュノーケリング貸切クルーズ 豪華なラウンジボートやスピードボートでプライベート時間を満喫<6名まで/英語クルー>

It was the best! 最っ高でした!

Reviewed by: oluolu

I used a private cruiser.

Captain Masaki was friendly, kind to the children, and very reliable.

I had checked the tide chart in advance, but since it was negative (I thought, maybe the sandbar would be out if we were lucky?), I didn't have high expectations. However, the sandbar appeared beautifully, and everyone was thrilled! It was cold, so I hesitated to get in the water at first, but the captain helped by saying, "I have wetsuits!" which was a great relief. We enjoyed paddleboarding and playing with water guns...

After playing for a while, we went snorkeling, and when the captain said, "Look, there are sea turtles down here," I looked where he pointed and saw a sea turtle. I was moved to see so many sea turtles. The children got to ride on a Zayak, which has a transparent bottom for observing underwater, and the captain pulled them along, so our whole family was able to observe the ocean and see the sea turtles, spending a wonderful time together.

It seems not only the adults but also the children had a great time, as they said, "I want to go to the heavenly sea again!"

Thank you for the wonderful time.

I also enjoyed chatting with driver Tim.

プライベートクルーザーを利用させて頂きました。

キャプテンのMASAKIさんも気さくで子供にも優しくて頼もしい方でした。

潮位表を事前に見ていましたが、マイナスになっていたから(運が良ければサンドバーが出てるかも?)とそれほど期待せずに行きましたが、しっかりとサンドバーが現れており、皆大喜び!
寒かったので初めは水に入るのを躊躇していたらキャプテンが「ウエットスーツあるよー」と貸してくれたからかなり助かりました。supしたり水鉄砲で遊んだり…
ひとしきり遊んだ後にシュノーケルをしましたが「ここ、ウミガメいるよー下ー」ってキャプテンの言う先を見るとウミガメがいて、たくさんのウミガメを見ることが出来て感動しました。
子供はZAYAKというソリの底面が透明になっていて水の中が観察できるものに乗せてもらってキャプテンがずっと引っ張ってくれたので、家族全員でそれぞれが海の中を観察してウミガメを見られて素晴らしい時間を過ごせました。
大人だけでなく、子供もすごく楽しかったみたいで「また天国の海に行きたーい!」と言っています。

素敵な時間をありがとうございました。

運転手ティムのおしゃべりも楽しかったです。

貸切サンセットセーリング パウ・ハナ号 プライベートヨットでワイキキの夕日を独り占め!ドリンク&スナック持ち込みOK!<1~12名/ワイキキ発>

It was the best! 最高でした!

Reviewed by: ぽん

I was a bit worried because there were no reviews, but it was such an amazing time that I wondered why there were no reviews! I went in March with 10 colleagues, and the two staff members were fantastic! The party was great, and we even saw whales. We had a truly memorable time!

In March, the evenings and nights in Hawaii can still be a bit chilly, especially when you're out at sea where the wind can be strong. You can swim (there's even a shower!), so I recommend wearing a long-sleeve shirt over your swimsuit that you don't mind getting wet!

We brought our own food and drinks, but everything was provided—plates, cutlery, cups, ice, you name it! They even put our snacks in a basket, making it super cute! One of the staff members spoke a little Japanese too! ❤️

口コミがなく少し心配だったのですが
なんで口コミないのかなってぐらいに最高な時間でした!
同僚10人で3月に行きましたが、スタッフのおふたりも最高!パーティーも最高!クジラも見れたし
思い出に残る本当にいい時間を過ごさせてもらいました!

ハワイの3月の夕方~夜はまだ少し肌寒く、
特に海に出ると風邪も強かったです。
泳ぐこともできる※シャワーまでついてます!ので、水着の上に濡れてもいいような長袖を着るのがおすすめです!

ご飯と飲み物は持ち込みましたが、お皿もカトラリーもカップも氷もなにもかも揃っていましたし、
お菓子はカゴにいれてくれてとっても可愛くしてくださいました!

ホエールウォッチ 最大80名乗りのカタマラン船!ソフトドリンク飲み放題付き<ワイキキ送迎可/12/1~3/31>

I could watch it many times! 何度も見れました!

Reviewed by: MYC

I went without much expectation because I had read reviews saying they couldn't see anything, but I was able to see whales spouting and diving about 5 or 6 times! Their tails were huge, and it was truly moving! I tend to get motion sickness easily, but I didn't feel sick at all without taking any medication. However, since the wind can be strong, it's better to bring a jacket. Inside the boat, you go barefoot, and some people spill drinks due to the wind, so wearing something that can get wet is recommended! Also, the shuttle bus for pick-up only stops on the street and doesn't come to call you. Since there's no company name written on it, it doesn't stand out, and it might depend on the driver, but they don't call out names either, so I think it's best to check when a larger van stops. Additionally, those with a pick-up plan arrive in front of the boat 30 minutes early, so you might have some time to kill. (There's an ice cream shop nearby, so you can pass the time there!)

見れなかったという口コミもあったのであまり期待しないで行きましたが、5,6回くらい潮を吹いて潜っていくクジラを見ることができました!
尾鰭だけですがとっても大きくて感動しました!
自分は乗り物酔いしやすいですが、酔い止めなしでも全く酔いませんでした。
ただ風が強いので上着は持って行ったほうがいいです。
船内は裸足ですし、風でドリンクをこぼしたりする方もいるので濡れてもいい格好がおすすめです!
あと、送迎のシャトルバスは通りに止まるだけで呼びにきてはくれません。
会社名が書いてあるわけでもないので目立ちませんし、ドライバーさんによるかもですが名前を呼ばれたりもしないので大きめのバンが止まったら確認しに行くのが良いと思います。
あと送迎付きのプランの方は30分前に船の前に着くので、少々暇です。
(近くにアイス屋さんがあるので時間は潰せると思います!)

The captain (Chris) and crew (Athena, Jeff, and Beau) were outstanding - so kind and laid back, very helpful in selecting a spot to send off my parents' ashes. The catamaran was beautiful and a lovely ride - we even got to do a little whale watching while we were out.

Waikiki Turtle Snorkeling Tour on a Private Catamaran - Hawaii Ocean Charters

Incredible!

Reviewed by: Sophia

I initially signed up for a turtle snorkeling tour, but it turned out to be so much more than that. It transformed into the most unforgettable whale watching adventure of our lives! We were fortunate enough to witness over 20 humpback whales just off the coast of Waikiki. It was truly a breathtaking sight.

I wanted to express my sincere appreciation for the flexibility in the itinerary. The fact that we were given the opportunity to dedicate some time to whale watching before snorkeling made the experience even more remarkable.

I wholeheartedly recommend the private Catamaran experience to anyone passing through Honolulu. The combination of the stunning natural beauty and the outstanding service provided by your team made it an unforgettable journey.

Thank you once again for creating such a memorable experience. I look forward to sharing this recommendation with friends, family, and fellow travelers.

As expected from a private tour, it seems they were able to keep the equipment for us at the beginning, allowing us to play to our heart's content. I thought there wouldn't be a return transfer, but it was great that they took us back to the hotel. The water level was about waist-high, which is natural and unavoidable, but I would love to go again.

Revisiting with my family who have never been here before. 未踏の家族を連れて再訪

Reviewed by: shofugue

I previously visited during the summer with my coworkers, but my family had never been. After overcoming the long COVID pandemic, I finally brought my family along. It felt like fate that this was the last AM private cruise of 2023, and I was able to greet Captain Bruce before departure. Everyone picked up on even the little things from our prior communications and past experiences, which naturally sparked conversations.

Sitting near the bow of the speedboat can get you very wet. If you have things that you don't want to get wet, make sure to take precautions before and after boarding. I think you'll be dressed for swimming afterward, so feel free to enjoy getting splashed!

Veteran Alan interacted with us at just the right distance, ensuring that we had plenty of time to enjoy ourselves as a family. However, we weren't neglected; he discreetly prepared wetsuits for my family when they looked a bit chilly and promptly responded to our small requests. During snorkeling, he helped my younger daughter, who struggles with swimming, by pulling her on a Zayak (a bodyboard with a viewing window), allowing her to enjoy the underwater scenery.

On that day, the current was a bit strong and sand was swirling, but my family was thrilled to encounter a honu resting on the reef. He even took my younger daughter to see another honu that was in shallower water.

Since this is an activity in nature, the weather and sea conditions are a surprise on the day, but we had a different experience compared to summer. Our family was very satisfied with our stay. Thank you!

Additionally, you can change from a shared shuttle to self-arrival at the location. This allows you to freely plan your schedule after the cruise, not just limited to the Waikiki area, so you can continue to enjoy the tranquil Windward side or venture up to the North Shore. For those considering renting a car, I think it's a good option. The yacht harbor parking is first-come, first-served (be careful of no-parking areas), so it's best to arrive with some extra time.

以前職場の人たちと夏季に来ましたが、家族は未踏だったでした。長いコロナ禍を乗り越え、ようやっと家族を連れて来られました。
2023年最後のAMプライベートクルーズだったのも何かの縁、キャプテンブルースさんにも出航前にご挨拶ができました。事前のやりとりや以前のお世話になった話など、ちょっとしたことでも皆さん拾ってくださり、自然と会話も弾みます。

スピードボートは舳先近くに座るととても濡れます。濡れると困るものは、乗船前後にあらかじめ対策しましょう。そのあと海に入る格好になって参加されると思いますので、せっかくなのであとは思う存分飛沫を浴びてください笑。

大ベテランのアランさんは程よい距離感で接してくださり、大体の時間は家族だけで自由気ままに過ごせるように計らってくださいました。とはいえ放置されているのではなく、少し肌寒そうにしていた家族にさり気なくウェットスーツを用意してくださり、こちらのちょっとしたリクエストにもすぐに対応してくださいました。
シュノーケリング時は泳ぎの苦手な次女をザヤック(のぞき窓付きボディボード)に載せて曳いていただき、次女も海中を眺めることができました。

この日は潮の流れが少し強く砂が舞ってましたが、家族も無事リーフにたたずむホヌと出会うことができ、喜んでいました。浅いところにいた別のホヌを見せに次女を連れて行っても下さいました。

自然の中でのアクティビティなので天気、海の様子は当日のお楽しみですが、夏季とはまた違った体験ができました。家族一同が大満足の滞在になりました。ありがとうございました!


なお、乗合送迎から自力での現地集合に変更もできます。クルーズ後の予定をワイキキエリアに限らず自由に立てられるので、のどかなウインドワードを引き続き満喫したり、ノースに足を伸ばしたりできますね。レンタカー派の方はご検討されるとよいと思います。
ヨットハーバーの駐車場は早い者勝ち(駐車禁止エリアもあるので注意)のため、ある程度余裕をもってのご到着がベストです。

There was no sandbar, but サンドバーは無かったけど

Reviewed by: Tommy

It wasn't low tide, so the water level was about waist-high. I think it's a matter of luck when participating. I personally enjoyed the waist-high water more than the knee-high water. I recommend checking the low and high tide times in advance when making a reservation, but you can enjoy the beautiful sea regardless.

Also, since it was a lounge boat plan, we were able to use one SUP in a private setting, which was comfortable. It was a bit cold on the boat due to the strong wind, but they provided windbreakers with hoods for everyone, which was helpful.

I declined snorkeling due to the cold, but the captain was flexible and asked if we should drift a bit or stay here.

引き潮ではなかったため、腰高程度の潮でした。
これは参加時の運だと思います。
私は膝下の潮高より腰高の方が結果的に楽しかったです。

I participated in whale watching. I was able to spot a whale from a distance. I wanted to see it a bit closer, but the wind was pleasant, and I enjoyed the cruise. It was quite cold, so a long-sleeved jacket is essential. I hesitated about the pickup service being more expensive than meeting on-site, but I think if I had gone to the meeting point, there would have been so many boats that I wouldn't have known where to go. I'm glad I chose the pickup service, as it allowed me to participate with peace of mind.

ホエールウォッチングに参加しました。遠目にですが、クジラの姿も確認できました。もう少し近くで見たかったですが、風も気持ちよくてクルーズとして楽しめました。寒いくらいなので、長袖の上着は必須です。お迎えつきは現地集合よりも高くて迷いましたが、現地集合では、船が沢山あって、どこに行ったらいいか分からなかったと思います。安心して参加できたので、お迎えつきで良かったです。

I was able to see whales multiple times! クジラを何回も観れました!

Reviewed by: POM

I participated in the afternoon tour at the beginning of January. I was torn between other tours, but I decided on this one because it was smaller and I thought we might get a bit closer to the whales. The weather was clear, but I had seen reviews mentioning that some people didn’t see any whales, so I tried not to get my hopes up too much.

We set out about 15 minutes offshore on a small cruise ship and then waited in the surrounding area to see the whales. Since we weren’t too far from the island, where the town was visible, I wondered how it would go, but within about 10 minutes, there were cheers, and we caught a glimpse of a whale's head in the distance! Over the course of a little more than an hour, we saw the whale's head and tail flukes about 6-7 times, and at one point, a whale appeared right in front of us! There weren’t too many participants, so it wasn’t crowded, and we were able to enjoy it thoroughly. The staff was kind, and it was fun for everyone to search for the whales together!

Since it’s a small boat, I think it’s a good idea to take motion sickness medication as a precaution before participating. We drifted at sea for over an hour, and once you get seasick, it becomes difficult to enjoy watching the whales.

Also, depending on where you sit, there’s a possibility of getting splashed and wet, so I recommend wearing clothes that you don’t mind getting wet.

1月頭に午後帯で参加しました。
他のツアーもあり、迷いましたが、小さめでクジラにちょっとでも近づけるかも?と思ってこちらを申し込み。
天気は晴れでしたが、口コミで観れなかったという声もあったので、あまり期待しすぎずに。
小型のクルーズ船で15分ほど沖に出て、あとはその周辺でクジラが見えるのを待ちます。島の街並みが見えるほど島からもあまり離れていない場所だったので、どうかなと思いましたが、ものの10分ほどで、歓声が上がり、少し遠くにクジラの頭がちょこっと見れました!
それからも1時間ちょっとで6-7回はクジラの頭と尾ひれが見れ、すぐ目の前に現れたときも!参加人数もそこまで多くないので、人だかりで見えないということもなく、しっかり楽しめました。
スタッフの方も優しく、みんなでクジラを探すのも楽しかったです!

小型船ですので、酔い止めは予防も兼ねて飲んでから参加された方がいいと思います。1時間以上海を漂うので、一度酔ってしまうとクジラを見るどころではなくなってしまいます。

また、座る位置にもよりますが、水しぶきで服が濡れる可能性があるので、濡れても良い服装で参加されることをおすすめします。

The cruise itself was enjoyable, but unfortunately, we didn't see any whales.

The private cruise for our family of ten was comfortable. First, we spotted a sea turtle in the bay! After that, when we went out to sea, a pod of dolphins came right around the boat, and we were able to see them up close. Then we headed out to search for whales and were able to see them as well, which was amazing.

While moving to the snorkeling spot, we enjoyed some snacks, making for a pleasant cruising experience. I thought it would have been good to bring a change of clothes since there was a restroom at the dock where we could change.

家族10人での貸し切りクルーズで快適でした。まずは入り江でウミガメを発見!その後海に出ると、イルカの群れが船の周りにまで来てくれて、たっぷり見ることができました。その後クジラを探しに沖まででて、クジラも見ることができ最高でした。
シュノーケリングのポイントまで移動する間にスナックもいただいて快適なクルージングでした。
船着き場にトイレがあり着替えもそこでできたようなので着替えを持っていけば良かったと思いました。

Waikiki Turtle Snorkeling Tour on a Private Catamaran - Hawaii Ocean Charters

Amazing experience!

Reviewed by: Radhika

Our family of 6 was excited about snorkeling and seeing turtles. My children and husband had never been before, so this was a perfect day with a Nick taking the kids through the water. It was a personal tour of the beautiful reef. My elderly parents preferred staying on the boat, but that was excellent too as Sam filled us in on all the history about the island. I would highly recommend taking the two-hour private charter as the attention to detail and attention to guests is unmatched. They had drinks and water for us.
What are you waiting for? Book your private charter today and experience your ocean snorkel on a level above the rest.

I couldn't see any whales, but it was a very enjoyable cruise. クジラは見れなかったが、とても楽しいクルーズでした

Reviewed by: つばさ

On December 10th, I participated with my wife and our two sons, aged 0 and 3. At that time, the dolphin interaction at Sea Life Park was closed for renovations, and the other dolphin tours featured snorkeling with dolphins, which would be difficult with our young children, so we chose this option. I had heard that in December, if luck was on our side, we might see whales, so I was just hoping to see some dolphins or whales, but we were able to see dolphins, which made me very satisfied. Additionally, the boat played some lively music, and we could enjoy a few drinks, which added to the sense of adventure.

12月10日に0歳、3歳の息子と、妻と私の4人で参加しました。
当時はシーライフパークのイルカ触れ合いは改装で中止しており、他のイルカツアーはシュノーケリングでイルカと泳げるのがウリで、0,
3歳児を連れては難しいためこちらに参加しました。
12月は運が良ければクジラが見られるとのことだったので、イルカやクジラが見られればいいなという程度でしたが、無事イルカが見られてとても満足です。
また、船は結構イケイケな音楽がかかって、お酒が何杯か飲めるので、非日常感が味わえました。

My husband and I, along with our daughter and her husband and our grandchild, participated. At first, we couldn't see any whales, but later on, we were able to see whales, and there were also many dolphins swimming around. We all had a wonderful time together as a family. We would definitely like to participate again. There were restrooms on the boat, and we could also enjoy some beer. The travel time was short, and we had a very enjoyable experience. Thank you.

私たち夫婦、娘夫婦と孫で参加させて頂きました。
最初のうちは、なかなかクジラを見れなかったのですが、後半クジラも見れて、イルカもたくさん泳いでました。
家族皆んなで楽しい時間を過ごしました。
また是非、参加したいです。
船の中にはトイレもありますし、ビールも飲めました。
移動時間も短いし、とても楽しい時間を過ごしました。

Waikiki Fireworks & Honolulu City Lights Evening Private Boat Charter

Must Do - Only way to see the fireworks

Reviewed by: Michael R

We had a party of 6 so did private charter. Only way to do the fireworks.

Boat was perfect and the crew was fantastic. Very timely and thoughtful. Right before dusk, captain saw a whale surface and we got to see it and the flute. Appreciated him catching it.

We got lucky and they texted day of to see if we wanted to go out early for the sunset. Got message late and they still made it work. Only a minimal extra charge.

Whale, sunset and fireworks. Doesn’t get any better. Highly recommend this tour.

Waikiki Turtle Snorkeling Tour on a Private Catamaran - Hawaii Ocean Charters

Great tour, great crew, everything is perfect

Reviewed by: Chen

The ship is comfy, they also provide drinks.
Snorkeling spot is great, saw sea turtles and of course a lot of fishes.
We were very lucky to see 4 spots of dolphins swimming just around us and jumping and spinning.
Great crew, very friendly and helpful.
We brought 2 babies (18 months) with us, they also had a great time, could tell from their face :)

Attending a private tour allowed us to set out immediately for the dolphins when spotted them. Will def. choose to do private tour again next time.

It was a fun time! 楽しい時間でした!

Reviewed by: さーや

I encountered many sea turtles. The weather was nice, but the tide was a bit high (I participated with this understanding in advance), so it didn't go as smoothly as in the photos, but I enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling in the clear sea. We were able to take a leisurely break on the boat, and there were drink services, which matched our pace nicely. Above all, the guides were kind and wonderful!

たくさんのウミガメに出会えました。
お天気は良かったのですが潮位が高めで(事前に理解の上で参加)写真のようにはいきませんでしたが、透明な海でサップ、シュノーケリングを楽しめました。
船でゆっくり休憩もできて飲み物などのサービスもあり私達のペースに寄り添っていただいたのがよかったです。何よりガイドの方々が親切で素敵でした!

Thank you very much for using Captain Bruce's private boat charter plan. We are truly grateful to hear that you referred to it as your "favorite tour."
Thank you for sharing your review.
The beauty of the scenery at Kaneohe Bay Sandbar and the relatively high chance of encountering sea turtles are some of the attractions of our tour. We are relieved to hear that you enjoyed snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding as well.
Regarding the meals, we have had to revise our offerings since the COVID-19 pandemic, and we currently provide snacks and spam musubi. We offer cold beverages such as juice, soda, and mineral water, as well as hot drinks like coffee, tea, and cocoa. Additionally, you are welcome to bring your preferred food and drinks, including canned alcohol, and you can use the cooler on board.

The best memories with my grandparents. 祖父母との最高の思い出

Reviewed by: かなみ

I was able to enjoy the tour with staff members and the captain who spoke Japanese, which made me feel at ease. Both of them were supportive throughout, helping a lot to ensure that my grandmother and my 0-year-old son could have fun.

Thanks to their gentle guidance, my grandmother, who has a chronic illness that makes it difficult for her to move her arms and legs, was able to enjoy activities like snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding. She said this experience was her best memory. We also encountered many turtles!

In the end, I forgot to give a tip! I'm thinking of ways to somehow give it to them... that's the only regret I have. I'm sorry for not giving it (cry).

I would love to use your services again! Thank you so much for everything!

日本語が話せるスタッフさんとキャプテンとご一緒することができ、安心してツアーを満喫することができました。
お二人とも終始サポーティブで、おばあちゃんや0歳の息子が楽しめるよう、たくさん手伝っていただきました。
特に、持病から手足が動かしづらいおばあちゃんにも優しくガイドしていただいたお陰様で、おばあちゃんもシュノーケリングやサップなどを楽しむことができました。
おばあちゃんは、この体験が一番の思い出だと言っていました。
カメさんにもたくさん遭遇することができました!

最後、チップをお渡しするのを忘れてしまいました!!
どうにかお渡しする方法がないか考えています、、これだけが心残りです、、。お渡しせずにすみませんでした(泣)

また利用させていただきたいです!
