今回大人2名子供4名での参加でした。
日本語の対応のスタッフが、たまたまいて対応してくれたので、説明も分かりやすかったです
ヘルメット装着の際は、1度海に潜ってヘルメット被る形になり、後はインストラクターが1人ずつついているので、スクーターも動かしてくれるし、何もやらなくて良かったです。
小さいお子様は少し難しいかもしれません
お魚さんと至近距離で触れ合えて、とても楽しかったです
写真も動画もとってくれて、後で購入する形です
集合場所まで、行きは、ホテルからタクシーで向かったが、帰りがタクシーがつかまらないような場所なので、Uberを呼びました。
周りにレストランやカフェもあるので、お昼も食べれます

We did snorkeling yesterday. Nick is very good. He is professional and very nice. The tour was exactly as prescribed. No boat ride required and it’s in lagoon which is perfect for my 9 year old son. He gets seasick easily. It’s perfect for beginners. I will definitely recommend.

Had an amazing time with Captain Bruce on the Kaneohe sand bar cruise! From the get-go, Jeff, Josiah, and Karen were super kind and welcoming, making sure everyone on board felt at ease. They had snacks and drinks ready for us, which was a nice touch.
One of the highlights for me was definitely swimming with the turtles. It’s not every day you get to do that! And I’ve got to give a special shoutout to Karen. She was a real star, especially with my mom who's a bit uneasy in the water. Karen made sure she felt safe and enjoyed her snorkeling experience. Plus, the way she helped us retrieve my dad's forgotten sunglasses turned into a hilarious moment we all shared.
This trip is a must-do for families looking for a fun and memorable day out on the water. I’m already looking forward to my next trip with them. Absolutely a 10/10 recommendation!

The experience from the shuttle pick up/drop off to guidance and snorkeling are exceptional and amazing. We experienced as it detailed on the booking website.
After booking, I received the picture of the pickup location which is easy to find. Keep your eye to find the shuttle van, he parked across the street when there were 3 coach bus parked in front of the entrance. The van showed up on time and could fit up to 14 people. The van is clean, comfortable seating, and good AC. The driver introduced the Electric Beach and talked about the places.
After dropping off, the driver introduced Jose and Jorge who were the snorkeling guides. They are very friendly and acknowledged. One of my friend did not confident to swim in the ocean, but she trusted Jose and went to the water with us. Jose and Jorge made sure everyone stick together under their guidance. All the gears (snorkeling masks, fins, life jackets, jet machines) were provided. Jorge had his GoPro to record the fun moment and shared to us at the end.
My group loves this experience as many of us had no swimming experience but Jose and Jorge made it easy, fun, and safe.

Really happy with the experience, my son and I loved it. He is a comfortable swimmer, while I just started learning a month ago. He felt comfortable enough to snorkel without holding onto the buoy used by our guide, while I did not yet. It was a perfect introduction to snorkeling in a safe environment.

We were so excited to go swim at the sandbar and are so glad we decided to take a boat. Excursion includes a ride to the sandbar with refreshments, crew-led snorkeling, and free time. Was nervous that I wasn't able to swim too well for the snorkeling portion but Jayson was awesome and floated me & three other people through the deep water. Great experience for folks of all ages and backgrounds!
Mahalo for choosing Captain Bruce and sharing this fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear you had an amazing experience at the sandbar with our captain Jayson and crew, and also you felt comfortable during our tour. We would love to welcome you back on board and have a great time again soon! A hui hou :)

I had a great time snorkelling in Honolulu.
I can't swim but thanks to Scott I managed to enjoy the experience.
The Magic Island Lagoon is a safe and beautiful place.
I really enjoyed the activity.

I wasn't sure what to expect but it was such a great time. Captain Z is awesome, Casey was knowledgeable and Jaime was a lot of fun to talk to. We were able to see turtles when snorkelling thanks to them telling us where to look. The water activities were fun and I got to Stand Up Paddleboard for a decent amount of time. We were supplied with plenty of snacks and drinks (hot and cold). Overall it was amazing and I would highly recommend.
Aloha, thank you very much for joining our tour and letting us know that you had a great experience with us. Marine life including turtles in Kaneohe Bay are very special for us. We are delighted that you spotted some of them while snorkeling! Thank you so much for giving us a five-stars, we hope to welcome you back aboard soon. A hui hou

Snorkeling with Mickey was so much fun! It was good to see that he was enjoying it as much as we were, even though it’s something he’s done many times. He really knows how to make you feel at ease while in the water, even for first time or lesser experienced swimmers. The activity itself was very cool. We got to see some interesting animals at the ocean floor, such as sea cucumbers, sea urchins, and even some fish. I would definitely recommend to anyone who is thinking of signing up for it, and for such a reasonable price too. Surprisingly the photo’s actually turned out quite well too.

The basics were very helpful, however, the limitations with life vests and the lack of actual sea life made it a little less of a good experience. Overall it was received well by the family and was fun enough.

友人夫婦と3歳児2人、合わせて6人で参加しました。
陽気な音楽ともに楽しいクルージングでした。
日によるかもしれませんが、乗り物酔いに弱い方は酔い止めを飲んで参加した方が良いかもしれません。
イルカも沢山見ることが出来き、大人も子供達も大興奮でした。
投稿者はドルフィンウォッチングやシュノーケリングは初参加でしたが、複数回経験のある友人夫婦は比較的のんびりとしたツアーやシュノーケリングだと言っていました。
3歳の娘も抱えられながら気持ちよさそうに浮いたり、持参した水中箱メガネで楽しそうに海中を眺めていました。
私達が参加した時は日本語を話せる方はみえなかったようですが、親切に接して頂けたので安心しました。

Our experience with Captain Robin, Kay, and Sydney was absolutely amazing! Captain Bruce Kaneohe Sandbar Cruise is a must! My husband and I loved everything about the experience…friendly, knowledgeable, hands on staff who truly gave each of the participants support and care. This was my first time to snorkel and Captain Robin stayed by my side until I was ready to snorkel without any assistance. There was time to paddle-board and float. It was a wonderful experience and exceeded our expectations.
Leah and Jeff from Indiana, Mahalo

Your heartfelt words about your first snorkeling adventure with our captain and crew are truly heartwarming and it's a privilege to know that we exceeded your expectations.
Please join us again to rediscover the beauty of the Kaneohe Bay again. Mahalo and A hui hou

My boyfriend and I had an excellent time on this excursion! The crew truly made this an unforgettable experience as they were incredibly polite, kind and patient with all the guests. We previously had a rough go at snorkeling on a trip to Mexico which prompted the crew to take special care with us as we entered the water and familiarized ourselves with snorkeling in open ocean. They were encouraging and supportive; we would 100% recommend and would love to come back again. They gave an excellent overview of how to use the equipment and enter the water safely. We got to swim alongside a TON of fish and got to see 2 turtles while in the water. The service on the boat was great and the lunch tasted great; really hit the spot after swimming for a while. Thank you!!

The scooters were everything we hoped they would be, we saw tons of fish and the support team was absolutely incredible in ensuring we had FUN. One of the guys found an octopus to bring over for photos and to interact with. We were in the 2nd scooter group, so I got to hop in for snorkeling both before and after my scooter ride. I saw a turtle while snorkeling and it was neat to watch some of the scooters cruising around. Highly recommend adding this experience to your must do list while on Oahu. You won't be disappointed.

My cousin and I booked this snorkeling tour as it was her first time and she didn't feel comfortable being out in super deep in the water or in a very open area. The lagoon where this snorkel tour is hosted is great as it has rock barrier walls all around to protect it from large waves. Our tour guide, Micki was so knowledgeable and was able to tell us so much about the fish and coral that we could see. This is a great tour for beginners or families with younger children who want to try out snorkeling! Would highly recommend it!

I booked this activity by myself for my birthday. All I wanted was to see a turtle and it definitely did not disappoint! The crew were amazing and were very helpful when we were snorkeling. The food was good and the experience was amazing. I’ll definitely book again next time I’m on the island! Thank you to the crew for making it the best experience.
