Captain Bruce Kaneohe Sandbar Cruise with SUP, Guided Snorkel & Transportation

Sandbar, snorkel and turtle swim

Reviewed by: AJ , 2021/04/07

We saw plenty of sea turtles along the reef. The water was a bit cold, especially with the wind, but overall would recommend it. They provide small snacks and drinks. Also provide snorkel gear and two SUP boards.

Ko Olina Snorkeling Cruise & Dolphin Watching Tour with Picnic Lunch and Drinks

Highly Enjoyable and Amazing.

Reviewed by: Pamela, 2021/04/04

We couldn’t” be happier with the whole adventure. Relaxing, exciting, entertaining, and educational all in one trip. We were fortunate to have everything we expected. We learned to snorkel. We saw many beautiful fish while in the water, attracting many by using the fish food we bought and scattering it around. While on board we learned a bit about the Catamaran we were on and how it was sailed. The sights were identified and all our questions were answered by the knowledgeable seaman. They offered many fun facts as well along the way. They were alway alert to our needs, assuring that we had fun and stayed safe. When the dolphins appeared, the nature and habits of the creatures were discussed, The differences between the type of dolphin following the boat and other dolphins was made. We were fortunate enough to have a sea turtle come and check us out as well. The people we had on board with us were friendly and polite and enjoyed the trip as well. I heard no complaints from anyone. I would recommend this company for this adventure to anyone who wants to have a fun snorkeling trip with a great crew, and an adventure that is safe and informative.

Thank you to crystal & alen for such an amazing time out in sea. Their service is amazing & we are already planning another family adventure again with you folks. Hopefully Allen & Crystal works that day again.
Crystal was very patient with our party of 11. Allen was so awesome working with the rest of the group on the boat. They both made everyone feel welcomed and safe, that enabled us all to enjoy our day.

Reviewed by: Sheila, 2021/01/18

The crew was super fun and really paid attention to everyone onboard. Everyone was included in all activities while on the sandbar. I would highly recommend this specific company. They provided SUP boards, snorkels, and lead us to see the sea turtles (they were HUGE)! One of the most fun activities we had while in Oahu.

Amazing First Time Snorkeling Experience

Reviewed by: Nishant, 2021/01/16

Ricki was very patient and helpful in making our (my wife & my) first time snorkeling experience so good. My wife didn't know swimming but Ricki's tips helped put her at ease and she enjoyed it as well. Due to the small group nature of the tour, fortunately there was only 2 of us and we had lots of fun. Saw lots of fishes and reef. Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for beginner lessons.

ZOLA IS AMAZING!!!

Reviewed by: Lisa Covington, 2020/11/02

I have to admit that this being my first time snorkeling, I had never been so scared and nervous in my WHOLE life!!

Zola, our instructor, was extremely patient and caring throughout the entire experience. Even through I had to concentrate extremely hard with breathing and using my flippers, I was SO proud of myself and I couldn't have done it without him.

Ask for Zola for the snorkeling tour, you wont' be sorry. You will be in terrific hands!

ハワイ水中スクーター 泳げなくてもOK!シーボブで海底散歩&シュノーケリングクルーズ

ウミガメ3匹みれました

Reviewed by: yuko, 2020/03/06

このツアー最高でした。
友人と参加しました。水中スクーター初体験。
船から覗く海も砂が見えるくらい透明度があり
魚が泳いでるのも見えます。

海底散歩でスクーター操作はいまいちわからず
ハンドルを握る上からインストラクターさんが押してたので
手をヘルメットの中に入れていても大丈夫でした。

色とりどりの魚が泳いでるイメージでしたが、
同じ魚ばかり寄ってきたので、次回に期待です。

ヘルメットの中は温かく感じられ、海の中は寒かったです。
深いところに潜るよという合図で、耳がキーン!
ヘルメット越しに鼻をつかむ合図があります。
すぐに鼻をつまんで息を吐く様にする事をお勧めします。
あとから耳が痛くなったので、こまめにしておけば良かったな。

ウエットスーツは上半身だけ希望者は無料で借りれました。
生乾きだったので冷たかったです。

水中スクーター体験が終わると、自由時間。
シュノーケル&ゴーグル、フィンと救命胴着が
置いてあるので自由に装着し、自由に遊べます。

浅瀬で、シュノーケル体験すると思っていたので、
初シュノーケル&フィンで船から深い海に入るのは最初勇気が
いりましたが、救命胴着をきているので沈まないので、
思い切って海に入りました。

シュノーケル楽しい!
フィンもあるから移動も早く海底にいる
ウミガメ3匹発見。
船から外れるとジェスチャーで岸側の方向へ行ってと指示がありました。
水中カメラ持ってくればよかったな。ウミガメ撮影出来ず残念。

人数が多かったのでシュノーケル時間が長かったです。
海の中をただ浮いているのも楽しかったです。
船の上は、とにかく寒い。大きめのタオルや着るものがあるといい。
ポテチとお水は自由に食べて飲んでOKでした。

水中スクーターの写真と動画を撮影してくださり、
写真と動画は、船の中で撮影写真を見せてくれました。
友人とまとめてだったからなのか、
動画も買うとディスカウントしてくれました。

お金は、船でお支払いします。
降りるとき、チップボックスを持ったお兄さんがいました。

写真は、当日の17時以降からメール(リンク)に送られますが、
携帯からは一部の写真しか見れませんでした。
パソコンからでないと動画はみれません。
ダウンロード期限は2週間でした。

  • 真ん中の人は、左右のスクーターの連結持っていないと離れていきます

泳げない私でも楽しめました

Reviewed by: mimiko, 2020/03/06

泳げない私が海の中に入るなんてありえないと思っていましたが、
仲間と一緒に半強制的に参加しました。
ピックアップしてくれた方は、英語のみでしたが感じの良い方で
私たち以外にもピックアップして現地に着くと12人くらいがすでに
待っていました。日本語を話せる日系四世の方もいて安心でした。
朝の日陰のベンチは寒くて、薄着では寒かったです。
水中スクーターを乗せた船が先に出発、
そのあと参加者が別船に乗船し出発。
船の中で日本語で水中の中の動作等説明があり安心でした。
英語の説明もありますが全く分かりませんでした。
待っている間、お菓子は自由に食べていいのですが、
隣にあるパンは魚のえさですので食べてはいけません。
友達は知らずに食べてました。おいしかったとの事。。
いよいよ、順番がまわってきてラダーを降りていくも
怖くてなかなか海に入れず、チキン呼ばわりもされましたが
なんとか入ることができました。
水中バイクにまたがり、ハンドルはインストラクターが操作してくれました。
まき餌を振ると魚が寄ってきて楽しいです。
写真撮影をしてるときインストラクターが空気の輪っかを作って
楽しませてくれました。
船に上がるときは、海に潜るので怖かったですがインストラクターが
サポートしてくれ無事にあがることが出来ました。
一生に一度の思い出です。

  • 一番大きい船に乗船し出発

  • シーボム移動中

  • お菓子なくなりかけて追加されました

初めてのハワイで初体験

Reviewed by: kakoko, 2020/03/06

海の中を水中スクーターで移動しながらお魚沢山みれると思い
楽しみにしていました。
船からラダーを降りて海の中に入るのもドキドキで、
宇宙のヘルメットみたいなのに潜って入ります。
最初うまく入れなかったのですが、インストラクターが
サポートしてくれるので二回目はうまく入れました。
ヘルメットの中では呼吸も楽にでき手持ちの携帯カメラで動画も
とることができました。
周りを見渡すと、あれ、魚がいない。と残念な気持ちでしたが
しばらくハンドルを握りながらインストラクターと共に移動し
網金具に入ったものを振ってくださいとジェスチャーで指示が
あり、ふってるとお魚キター!
アジ?がたくさん周辺に来てくれました。みなれないお魚も
寄ってきて直接手で触れることもできました。
海は透明度があり、砂に足がつきそうでつかないです。
ウミガメ捜索も楽しかったです。

Hawaii Submarine Scooter Adventure with Turtle Encounter & Snorkel Cruise

I liked This Activity Better Than Anything Else I've Done

Reviewed by: Martin F, 2020/03/02

I've been on 3 trips in the last 2 months with activities scheduled everyday for jet skiing, snowmobiling, fishing, etc. and this was the most fun I have had doing any of them.

My wife is claustrophobic and just couldn't do it, so I took her turn and did it twice. There is a bag of fish food on the front of the scooter, and you squeeze it and wave it around and the fish go nuts literally right in front of you and eat from your hand. I saw 6 different species of colorful fish and a sea turtle so close I could have touched it.

They videotape you doing it and take photos, so you can show your friends who aren't going to understand unless they see it. When they do see it, they all want to do it too. Would definitely do this again.

Hawaii Submarine Scooter Adventure with Turtle Encounter & Snorkel Cruise

Mesmerizing

Reviewed by: Sherry, 2020/02/29

I took a deep breath, ducked under water and up into the globe of my personal submarine. There was a small chain link bag of fish food that I was instructed to shake, by hand motions, from the diver that stayed near and guided me around. The fish swarmed around me, bumping my fingers as they eagerly gobbled the food. It was surreal. The trip began with A few of us boarding a large motorized rubber raft that took us to a sandbar. The guide had a dog that was very enthusiastic. At one point it jumped into the water and swam behind the boat, which continued on leaving the dog way behind. At one point it was so far behind it was hard to see it. A real swimmer. We jumped into the water and were instructed how to use the Seabob. It pulled us around the water, which was too shallow to really get the feel of the machine. Low tide was not a good time to do this. It was an incredible experience. I highly recommend it.

BOB's Hawaii Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Watching Tour

Different experience

Reviewed by: Andres, 2020/02/20

It´s quite a unique and different experience. I don´t know if all of these scooters are like this but mine didn´t move much. You could turn but not move forward so that was disappointing.

I saw mostly sardines, a couple of pretty fish and two small sea turtles at the bottom (but you had to be looking hard for them). The fun thing is that they have a food thing attached to each scooter so you squeeze it and the fish (mostly sardines) come right in front of your face.

The crew was really helpful and nice. They gave me some sea sickness oil but I think they should offer it to everyone since four of us threw up.

Overall it was an OK experience but I wouldn´t do it again like I´ve done snorkeling multiple times.

ハワイ水中スクーター 泳げなくてもOK!シーボブで海底散歩&シュノーケリングクルーズ

手軽にダイビング気分

Reviewed by: なうさん, 2020/02/05

日本人は私達夫婦を含め4組でした。
予約は現地で行いましたが何も問題なく催行されました。
日本語を話せるスタッフが1名いましたが、途中からサンドバー付きのツアーについて行ってしまうのでシーボブの説明は船の乗り場に到着後すぐに説明してもらいます。
船上では全て英語の説明でした。耳抜きの仕方なども全て英語。それでも何とかなりますが結構不安になったりします。
私たちのツアーの時はシーボブは5台でした。2人1組で潜りますが(ペアで参加してる方が多いため)準備は1人ずつしか出来ず一緒に潜れないため後から乗る方は船上で少し待ちます。
私は主人が先に行きましたがもう1台のシーボブが来ず結局船上で10分以上待たされました。おまけに次の方を案内しようとされたので慌てて「まだ乗ってない!」と伝えたらすぐに案内してもらえましたが結局シーボブを体験出来たのは準備も含め10分もないくらいでした。
それでもホヌはたくさん見れたし海は綺麗だしイルカの群れにも遭遇出来たのでトータルでは満足です。
シーボブに乗ってない待機中はシュノーケリング出来ます。それの説明も全て英語です。この口コミでシュノーケリングも出来る事を伝えられたらと思います。

既出ですが酔い止めは本当に本当に必須です!
止まってる船上は想像以上に揺れます。

写真は高いですが買う価値はあるかなぁ…と思います。
自分達の写真とホヌの写真がセットでした。20枚くらいです。
中々出来ない体験でしたので船上で待たされた事がなければ最高です。

海がきれいでとても風が気持ちいかったです!水中スクーターの最中はインストラクターさんが付きっきりなので迷うこともないですし、まじかでお魚も見れてウミガメも見れました!!
体験のインストラクターさんは日本語が通じないけれど、特に問題ありませんでした。簡単な日本語なら解るらしく、不安はなかったです。
ただ、船が結構揺れるので酔い止めは必須だと思います。私は元々酔いやすいのに、酔い止め忘れてえらいことになりました笑
旦那さんも船酔いあんまりしない人なのに結構やられてたので、難点はそこだけですね!!

I can't say enough about how amazing this crew is and how much fun we had!  The boat is so nice with two different net lounge seating areas at the front with seating space inside the cabin as well. We saw so many dolphins and the crew made everyone feel very comfortable snorkeling. They were also great with pointing out all of the different marine life that they found so we even got to see a couple of sea turtles! I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone looking for a nice day out on the West side!
