Good price, good location, fun crew.
Need to provide something more than meet-at-the-bathrooms-of-a-marina for mustering instructions. There were no crew/personnel at said marina bathroom well past the appointed time. The check-in process was haphazard at best, and did not instill a lot of confidence in the crew's ability/professionalism. The shuttle brining additional guests from Honolulu/Waikiki was very late and delayed our departure by more than 30 minutes (of a three hour cruise). This is obviously not the crew's fault and there is nothing they could have done about the traffic; however, the lack of communication to the guests who were there waiting could have (and should have) been much much better.
Once on the boat, the crew proved knowledgable and kind. A fun cruise that is perfectly suited for visitors staying on the west end of the island. There are similarly priced options closer to Honolulu and Waikiki without the hour-plus drive through really bad traffic.

Upon going to the sandbar for the first time, I decided to give Captain Bob's Kaneohe Bay a try. So glad I did because I had an amazing time on this cruise. All of the employees were super nice and made sure everyone felt safe & comfortable on the cruise. The sandbar was absolutely stunning! The crew set up a volleyball net which allowed for all of us to have a fun match of beach volleyball at the sandbar. Those that didn't want to participate were able to walk around the sandbar at their leisure. I enjoyed that this cruise was away from all of the other cruises and boats in the area. It was like we had our own secluded little area. The food was delicious and afterwards we cruised over to a reef area to snorkel. Along the way, the captain went slow to make sure we got a chance to see all of the sea turtles floating on the surface of the ocean. We saw so many of them! The area we snorkeled in was amazing. I saw so many different kinds of fish and several sea turtles that literally swim right next to us. I had an amazing time and photos to last a lifetime. If you are thinking about doing a cruise to the sandbar, look no further. Would absolutely go again!

This was our 2nd time doing the Dolphins and You Tour (we did it in 2017). Last time was amazing as we had a very calm day and saw lots of dolphins. This time it was quite rough and we did not get an opportunity to swim in the ocean with them.
We did enjoy our time anchored in the bay, where we snorkeled, kayaked and swam. Lunch was delicious and the crew was terrific.
Even despite not seeing dolphins, it was a lovely day.

I participated with my mother/daughter! In the morning, the weather was bad, and there was thunder and rain in the distance, but by early afternoon it cleared up, and I was so happy to see dolphins and whales up close. It was quite rocky, so those prone to seasickness should be careful! Snorkeling was fun, but the waterslide was absolutely amazing and gave a fantastic sense of freedom! The friendly staff and the Japanese guide made it easy to enjoy the experience until the end. I want to participate again with my friends! Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart. Mahalo!!
母/娘で参加しました!
朝は天候が悪く、遠くの方で雷雨も鳴ってましたが昼過ぎには晴れてきてイルカもクジラも近くで見ることができ、嬉しかったです。かなり揺れたので船酔いする方は注意!シュノーケルも楽しかったですがウォータースライダーが開放感抜群で最高でした!フレンドリーなスタッフの皆さんと日本人のガイドさんもいたので安心して最後まで楽しむことができました。
また友達と参加したいと思います!
心からありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

We participated as a family of ten, including my parents and siblings. Both the guide and staff were very kind, and we had a great time. The weather was nice, and the beautiful sea and sky were amazing! The water temperature was a bit cold, but it was manageable once we got used to it. The sandbar was knee-deep, and we could swim comfortably at the snorkeling point, where we also saw fish in the coral area. The hamburgers for lunch were delicious, and everything was great. It was a satisfying tour for the whole family.
両親と兄弟家族で10人で参加しました。ガイドもスタッフもとても親切ですごく楽しめました。
天気もよく、きれいな海!空!最高でした!水温は少し冷たいですが、入っているうちに慣れる程度でした。サンドバーの深さは膝ぐらい、シュノーケリングポイントでも気持ちよく泳げて珊瑚のエリアでは魚もみることが出来ました。ランチのハンバーガーもおいしくて何から何までよかったです。家族みんな満足なツアーでした。

The staff were all incredibly cheerful and kind, making my time there very enjoyable. I wasn't expecting much from the lunch hamburger, but it was surprisingly delicious. There was plenty of free time, and I thoroughly enjoyed snorkeling, and I was able to see turtles as well. I'm glad I signed up for the tour! Although rain was forecasted, we miraculously had sunny then cloudy weather, and it wasn't particularly cold, so I had a great day. I would love to sign up for the sandbar tour again.
とにかくスタッフの方達、全員すごく楽しげな親切な人達ばかりでとても楽しく過ごせました。ランチのハンバーガーもそれほど期待していなかったのですが、すっごく美味しくて驚きました。自由時間も十分にありますし、シュノーケリングも十分に楽しめますし、亀もしっかり見れましたし、ツアー申し込んで良かったです!雨の予報でしたが、奇跡的に晴れのち曇りという天気で特に寒い事もなく1日過ごせました。またサンドバーのツアー申し込みたいぐらいです。

this is a nice day on the water with a nice boat ride. Crew is very nice. It is $160 per person including transportation, and for that you get a seat on the boat maybe if you can find one, a cheeseburger with baked beans and fruit for lunch, a trip to a sandbar where either you play volleyball or stand around, then a trip to a reef to see little fish and turtles.

I made a reservation because I wanted to enjoy a meal while listening to live music, but the seat I was shown didn't have a view of the performance, so I quickly asked to be moved. Up to that point, everything was fine, but the waitress who saw the printed voucher insisted that she had never seen such content before and claimed it was outdated. I strongly protested, and even after showing her the e-voucher and reservation email, she remained unconvinced and made me wait for over five minutes.
Finally, as if nothing had happened, she came to take our order, but without any apology, which left me feeling quite displeased! During our meal, other staff members came by a few times to check on us, but… In the end, the initial waitress apologized for her lack of understanding, but unfortunately, it didn't lead to an enjoyable dining experience. I realized that this is what Outrigger Reef is like.
生演奏を聴きながら食事をしたくて予約しましたが、案内された席は演奏が見えない席でしたのですぐに変えていただきました。そこまでは良かったのですが、印刷したバウチャーを見たウェイトレスはこんな内容は見たことが無い。古い内容だと言い張ります。私も強く抗議し、eバウチャーや予約メールも見せても納得せず5分以上待たされました。
何事もなかった様にやっとオーダーに来ましたが、謝罪もなく気分良くはありませんね!食事中に他の従業員は何度かご機嫌伺いにきましたが…
最後の最後に最初のウェイトレスが自分の認識不足だったと謝罪してきましたが残念ながら楽しい食事にはなりませんでした。アウトリガーリーフってこの程度なんだと納得

The day was so fun and easy. The transportation met us at the collection point (and returned us in the afternoon). At the boat jetty, we were welcomed with Alohas. We spent some time on the sandbar to explore, and play a game of volleyball. We then gently motored for some turtle spotting. After that, we were taken to the beautiful coral reef where we snorkelled and flippered around, what a sensation! I thoroughly enjoyed the BBQ and hot chocolate!

I participated in other activities as well, but my high school-aged child said this was the most fun. My elementary school-aged daughter was scared of snorkeling and couldn't get in the water, so she didn't enjoy it as much. I thought it was great to experience various cultures through songs and dances. There were many staff members, so I felt safe participating. I highly recommend this tour.
他のアクティビティにも参加しましたが高校生の子供は1番楽しいと言ってました。小学生の娘はシュノーケリングが怖くて中々入水出来ずイマイチとの感想てました。歌や踊りなど色々な文化にも触れられて私は良かったと思います。
スタッフも多く安心して参加させて頂きました

I visited on Wednesday night.
Dinner while listening to live music was very nice!
The staff were friendly, and the food was very delicious.
The portions were quite large, so I took home what I couldn't finish.
There was a long line for those without reservations, and they were waiting quite a while (about 30 minutes for one group), so it was good that I made a reservation for the course.
This was the most memorable experience of my stay in Hawaii.
水曜日の夜に伺いました。
生歌を聞きながらのディナーとても良かったです!
スタッフの方の感じも良かったしお料理もとても美味しかったです。
料理の量が多めだったので食べきれない分はテイクアウトして持ち帰りました。
予約なしの人たちは行列ができていてかなり待ってた(一組大体30分程の待ち)ので、コースにはなりますが予約していって良かったです。
今回のハワイ滞在で最も心に残っている体験です。

First off the tour guide and motor coach driver were so awesome. Two women who did an amazing job giving us the perfect experience. It was so nice having the tour to get you there, navigate all the areas, get tickets for admission prior, and admission/time to see the Arizona Memorial. Great lunch as well in the Aviation Museum. The only drawback was we had to go to the airport to pick up some from another island flying in for the tour. It did take away time I think we may have had on Pearl. More time there would have been nice. Definitely would recommend this way to see Pearl Harbor.
