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

Guided snorkeling tour

Reviewed by: Max

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.

Captain Bruce Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, SUP & Waikiki Transport

10/10 experience

Reviewed by: Joseph

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!

We'll be sure to pass on your kind words to everyone, especially Karen!

Again, thank you so much for recommending our tour.
We look forward to welcoming you back aboard for another exceptional adventure in the future. A hui hou

Ko Olina Guided Jet Scooter Snorkel with Turtles Tour with Transportation Option

Highly recommended

Reviewed by: DT Fam

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.

Fantastic for beginners

Reviewed by: Rachel J

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.

I have always wanted to go to Heaven's Beach, and this time my wish came true! The weather was cloudy, but I enjoyed the friendly staff, beautiful boat, and activities like SUP! The drinks, snacks, and spa rice balls were delicious as well. There are staff members who understand Japanese, so I felt安心して楽しめます! I also want to see the scenery on a sunny day, so I made a reservation to join during my summer trip to Hawaii. I'm looking forward to it!

Sandbar サンドバー

We participated as a group of eight, including three small children, and the staff were very kind and accommodating to the kids. On the day of our visit, the water level was low, but both adults and children had plenty of fun snorkeling and with the Stand-Up Paddleboarding (SUP). We also got to see sea turtles up close, which made the kids very happy—it was the best experience!

The weather was great, it was the best! 天気も良くて最高でした!

Reviewed by: えっきー

We participated in a sandbar tour for the first time as a couple. The weather was perfect, and we were able to enjoy the best sandbar and snorkeling experience.

There were staff members who spoke Japanese fluently, which made us feel at ease.

One point that concerned us was that there was no mention of tips in the tour details, and we only brought minimal valuables. On the day of the tour, just before leaving, the staff announced about tipping, and since we didn't have any cash, we felt a bit guilty as we just passed it by. I recommend bringing at least a little cash with you.

初めてサンドバーツアーに夫婦で参加しました。
お天気にも恵まれ、最高のサンドバー&シュノーケリングを楽しむことができました。

日本語がバリバリ話せるスタッフもおり、安心して楽しめます。

ひとつ気になった点として、、
ツアーの詳細内にはチップに関する記載がなく、貴重品も最低限しか持って行かなかったのですが、
当日帰り際にスタッフの方からチップに関するアナウンスがあり、現金を持って行かなかった私たちは少し申し訳なさを感じながらそのままスルーする形となりました。
少しだけでも現金を持って行くことをオススメします。

The best time blessed by the sea and people of Hawaii. ハワイの海と人に恵まれた最高の時間

Reviewed by: せんべい一家

We had a fantastic tour with seven people spanning three generations, from ages six to seventy-two. Despite our different interests and abilities, we immersed ourselves in snorkeling, relaxed on floaties, searched for turtles in the shallow waters, and enjoyed the scenery and snacks on the boat. Everyone was thoroughly satisfied! This was all thanks to the warm consideration of the staff! The bus driver and everyone on the boat were always smiling and friendly, and we truly appreciate it!

Although the restroom and changing facilities were not very convenient, the staff conveyed their love for the ocean by saying, "This is our office," which made us feel a sense of respect for nature and reminded us to be mindful during our visit.

Since we visited in mid-March during a slightly chilly high tide, I would love to come back and see everyone again during a warm low tide period.

6歳から72歳まで3世代7名、それぞれの興味や能力が異なり心配していましたが、シュノーケリングに没頭したり、浮き輪でぼーっとしたり、浅瀬で亀を探したり、船の上で景色とお菓子を堪能したりと、それぞれが大満足のツアーでした。それもこれもスタッフの皆さまの温かい配慮のお陰です!バスの運転手さんも船上の皆さまもずっと笑顔で気さくに話しかけて頂き、本当にありがとうございました!
トイレや着替えは便利ではないですが、スタッフの方が「ここが私たちのオフィス」と海を大切にされてるのが伝わり、自分たちも自然に敬意を持ってお邪魔させて頂こうと身が引き締まりました。
今回は3月中旬の少し肌寒い満潮(?)のタイミングだったので、今度は温かい干潮の時期にまた皆さんに会いに行きたいです。

It was a bit cold, but I want to join the tour again. ちょっと寒かったけどもう一度参加したいツアー

Reviewed by: masakigu

As expected from a popular tour, there were a lot of participants.

It takes about 45 minutes by bus to the nearby harbor. The local drivers often crank up the air conditioning, so be sure to bring something to wear. During the ride, they kept introducing delicious restaurants (they highly recommended Leonard's malasadas).

Once we arrived at the port, we boarded the boat. Our guide, Kevin, was fluent in Japanese, so there were no issues. The sea was calm enough that we didn't need any motion sickness medication. The beauty of the sandbar was beyond words, and there were plenty of sea turtles.

Towards the end of the tour, the weather turned and it got cold, so make sure to bring a hoodie or something warm.

I would love to join this tour again during the dry season.

人気ツアーだけあって参加者がとても多かったです。

近くのハーバーまではバスで45分ほど。現地ドライバーにありがちな冷房ガンガン仕様なので、必ず羽織るものをもって乗車しましょう。車中ではずっと美味しいレストランなどを紹介してくれました。(レナーズのマラサダを激押ししてきます)

港に着いたらボートに乗船。ガイドのケビンは日本語が達者で困ることはありませんでした。酔い止めもなくて大丈夫なくらい海は穏やか。サンドバーのきれいさは言うまでもなし。ウミガメもうじゃうじゃいました。

ツアー終盤天気が崩れて寒くなって来たのでパーカーなどは必ず持って参加しましょう。

Reviewed by: えんどー

I was inspired to participate after seeing a former professional baseball player use this service on a TV program during his trip to Hawaii.

I was picked up at the hotel and arrived at the port while enjoying the view of the steep cliffs on the way to Kaneohe Bay. After using the restroom next to the parking lot, I took off my shoes and boarded barefoot.

We moved while observing heart-shaped coral reefs and honu, anchoring near the activity boat displaying the international A flag. Due to the spring tide, the morning tour had lower tides, but it was fully booked. The water depth was about 90 cm. Although the sun was out, the waves and current from the offshore wind felt strong.

I snorkeled with my wife and was able to see the coral, honu, and fish beautifully. Stand-up paddling (SUP) was more challenging than I expected.

On the boat, I enjoyed coffee, apples, and spam while chatting with a female staff member about her trip to Japan, and before I knew it, it was time to return to the port. She pointed out my eye color and told me I have hazel eyes, which led to an interesting discussion about mixed genetics. (We also laughed about what the lesson from Urashima Taro might be.)

After boarding the bus, I realized I couldn't find the belt where I had put my cash. I searched with a staff member who also had hazel eyes named Franky. I was about to give up when I saw Franky desperately searching even in the restroom trash can, and then I noticed something at my neck... Sorry, it was there all along.

We arrived safely at the hotel. Thank you so much!!!

I wanted to try the malasadas from Leonard's Bakery, which the shuttle driver highly recommended, but there wasn't enough time to stop.

I recommend everyone bring marine shoes, a waterproof case for your smartphone, and a hoodie.

Thank you so much to all the staff. See ya!

TV番組で元プロ野球選手が、ハワイに行った際に利用したのを観たのが参加するきっかけとなりました。
ホテルでピックアップされ、カネオヘ湾に向かう途中の急峻な崖を観ながら港に到着。駐車場脇のレストルームで用を足し、シューズを脱いで裸足で乗船。
ハートマークの珊瑚礁、ホヌを観ながら移動、国際A旗が掲げられているアクティビティー船近くに錨泊。
 大潮で条件としては朝のツアーの方が、潮が引いていたのですが、予約が埋まっていました。水深90CMくらいかな。日光は出ていましたが、沖からの風で波、潮の流れがきつい様に感じました。
 妻と一緒にシュノーケリング。珊瑚、ホヌ、魚を綺麗に観られました。
SUP 思った以上に立ってパドリングするのは難しかったです。
 船の上でコーヒー、りんご、スパムを食べ女性スタッフと、日本に旅行しに行った話しをしていたら、あっといううまに帰港の時間。瞳の色に着目され自分がヘーゼルだと教えてもらい、遺伝子がミックスされる事が面白いという思考が有るのを教えてもらいました。(あと、浦島太郎の教訓はなんだろうって事も笑)
 バスに乗車後キャッシュを入れたベルトが見当たらない事に気づき、その女性スタッフと同じヘーゼルの瞳を持つ FRANKYと一緒に探してもらいました。見つからないので、諦め掛けていましたがFRANKYがトイレのゴミ箱まで開け必死に探している姿をみたとき、何気に自分の首元に視線が、、、、、ごめんなさい。有りました。
事なき得て無事ホテル着。 本当にありがとう!!!

 シャトルの運転手さん激押しのレナーズべーカリーのマラサダ食べたかったけど、寄る時間無かったのね。

You can participate with children without any worries! 子連れでも安心して参加できます!

Reviewed by: ナッツ

**Positive Points**
• There are staff members who speak Japanese.
• The staff are kind and provide attentive service.
→ They frequently checked if we were warm enough and were gentle with the children.
• There is a good selection of drinks and snacks.
→ There are warm beverages like tea and cocoa, as well as juice and water.
Spam rice balls are limited to one per person, but you can eat as many snacks as you like.
• The transfer to the sandbar is done by a small boat with a limited number of people.
→ It depends on the number of participants, but this time everyone was Japanese.
• There are plenty of items like floaties available.
→ There were large floaties and floatie boats that children could enjoy.
There was also a boat with a clear bottom to see underwater, so even small children could enjoy snorkeling.
They also lend wet suits when it's cold.
• The bus driver for the transfers was kind.
→ Although he couldn't speak Japanese, he made an effort to communicate.

**Negative Points**
• The restroom is small and not suitable for changing.
→ There is a restroom at the port, but there is a long line, so those with transfers are likely to be late and return wet.

The day we participated, it was quite cold with light rain and a north wind, but we were still able to enjoy ourselves.
In a previous tour, we departed on a large boat with many people from various countries, and after the explanation, it felt like we were free to do as we pleased! However, this time, since it was a smaller group, it was great that we could quickly confirm anything we didn't understand.
Even in bad weather, the staff made various suggestions to ensure our family could enjoy the experience, which greatly increased our satisfaction.

For those participating in a sandbar tour for the first time, I think it would be reassuring to have Japanese-speaking staff and a small group.

Although the price is higher compared to other tours, it was a tour that made me want to participate again.

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>

You can meet sea turtles. ウミガメに会える

Reviewed by: たかちゃん

I was able to see several sea turtles swimming while on a cruiser to the sandbar. The guide made it easy to spot them. During snorkeling, I was moved when the guide pointed out sea turtles hiding among the rocks. The Japanese crew was very kind. However, in February, the weather wasn't very good and the wind was strong, so it was cold. I had a rash guard, but the water was cold, and the female participants were shivering in the boat. I think it would have been great if they had wetsuits available for rent.

サンドバーに行くクルーザーでウミガメが泳いでいる姿を何匹も見れた。
ガイドさんが教えてくれるので見つけやすかった。
シュノーケリングでも岩場に隠れているウミガメを教えて頂き感動でした。
日本語クルーさんとても親切でした。
ただ2月で天気も余り良くなく風もきつかったので寒かった。
ラッシュガードを持っていたけど水は冷たく女性の参加者は舟で震えていた。
ウエットスーツの貸し出しがあればよかったと思う。

Captain Bruce Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, SUP & Waikiki Transport

Amazing excursion & best crew ever!

Reviewed by: Jennifer

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!

We would love to welcome you back on board and have a great time again soon! A hui hou :)

Sandbar Captain Bruce サンドバーキャプテンブルース

Reviewed by: ひよっこ

This was my first time participating.
It was a snorkeling experience in the calm coral sea.
I can't swim at all, but I felt safe because I wore a life jacket and the staff guided me by pulling a float.
I was able to see many sea turtles and fish.
On the boat, we were served spam rice balls, snacks, and warm drinks.
Since February is the rainy season, we got caught in the rain on the way back, and it was cold.
I think it's a good idea to bring a hotel beach towel and a cover-up.

初めて参加しました。
珊瑚の穏やかな海のシュノーケリングでした。
全く泳げませんが、ライフジャケットを付け
スタッフさんが浮きを引っ張って誘導してくれたので安心でした。
海亀や魚が沢山見れました。
ボートではスパムおにぎりやスナック菓子
温かい飲み物がいただけます。
2月は雨季と言う事で帰りにボートの上で雨に降られて寒かったです。
ホテルのビーチタオルと羽織りは持って行った方がいいと思います。

Thank you very much for joining our Paradise Ocean Tour for the first time the other day.
It seems you were able to enjoy your first snorkeling experience with peace of mind. I'm really glad you encountered many marine creatures, including the honu (sea turtles).
Please come back and visit us again when you're in Hawaii. We, along with the honu, look forward to that day. Mahalo!

If the weather is nice 天気がよければ

Reviewed by: クリーム

Since it was the rainy season in January, unfortunately, there was a bit of rain and strong winds on the day, and the waves affected the visibility while snorkeling. I was able to see some fish! It seems there was a sea turtle during snorkeling, but I was swimming ahead and by the time I turned back, it was gone, so I couldn't see it. It was just bad luck. I thought I could also do stand-up paddleboarding, but due to the strong winds, we couldn't do any activities other than snorkeling, and in the end, it turned into a cruise searching for sea turtles. The handmade spam onigiri was delicious! It was disappointing this time, but I would like to try again next time when it's not the rainy season. ☺︎

一月の雨季の参加だったのもあり、残念ながら当日雨が少しと風が強く、波もあってシュノーケルの時、海の透明度はあまりよくありませんでした。お魚は見る事が出来ました!ウミガメもシュノーケルの時いたみたいですが、私は前を泳いでいて戻っていくうちにいなくなってしまって見る事が出来ず。運ですが。supなどもできるかと思っていたのですが、風が強かったせいかシュノーケル以外のアクティビティは出来ず、最後はウミガメ探しのクルーズになりました。ます!手作りのスパムおにぎりは美味しかったです!今回は残念でしたが、次回は雨季じゃない時にまたトライしたいと思います☺︎

Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour.
Thank you very much for joining our tour the other day.
This year's rainy season in Hawaii has been plagued by an unusually high amount of rain and strong winds. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to many of our guests.
We are truly grateful for your participation despite the weather conditions.
It was unfortunate that we couldn't encounter any sea turtles. However, I feel that this beautiful rainbow, one of Hawaii's symbols of good fortune, peeking out from the clouds will brighten the next Paradise of the Sea tour.
All of our staff are looking forward to the day we can meet again. May that day be filled with beautiful weather. A Hui Hou!

It was cold. 寒かった。

Reviewed by: じゅん

It wasn't summer, so it was cold, but I had a valuable experience seeing many turtles while snorkeling.

Unfortunately, the sandbar wasn't exposed because the tide hadn't gone out, and the water was up to my waist.

The crew members were very friendly, and it was great that they provided both warm and cold snacks, Spam, apples, and drinks.

時期が夏ではないので寒かったですが、シュノーケリングで亀がたくさん見えて貴重な体験ができました。

サンドバーば残念ながら潮が引いてなく、腰あたりまで水がありました。

クルーの方々はとても感じが良く、スナック菓子、スパム、りんご、飲み物も暖かい、冷たいどちらもあり良かったです。

The guide, who was fluent in Japanese, was very enjoyable and seemed like part of the boat crew. After spending plenty of time snorkeling, we were able to fully enjoy stand-up paddleboarding. It was my first challenge, but I was able to stand up. The weather was also perfect, making it a fun activity.

日本語が堪能なガイドさん(女性)が船のクルーにみえて非常に楽しかったです。シュノーケリングにたっぷり時間を割いて頂いたのちsupを十分に楽しむ事ができました。初めての挑戦でしたが立ち上がる事ができました。天気も最高に良く楽しいアクティビティとなりました。

It was beautiful, but it was just too cold. My 12-year-old child enjoyed it, but it was tough for my 6-year-old daughter. I recommend it for those over 10 years old. I wish the price could be lower for children who can't snorkel.
