Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkeling Tour & BBQ Lunch with Waikiki Pickup

Kaneohe sandbar tour was an Adventure. Thanks to Capt. Eggy and crew. It was an experience my family and I won't forget. Mahalo.

Reviewed by: Kaponoakoni22

Capt Bob's sandbar tour was awesome. Capt Eggy and crew were A+. The snorkeling around the mini pop up reef was the highlight of the day. Running around the sandbar was fun. Getting to see Honus along the way was spectacular. Lunch was good. Capt Eggy and crew were very accommodating to everyone's needs. Highly recommend taking this tour. It was worth it.

Kualoa Ranch Private Beach at Secret Island - Kayak, SUP, Volleyball & More

Full day with food

Reviewed by: TK

The staff was outstanding and fun. The 10-minute boat ride was informative and not bad at all for those afraid of seasickness.

The pesto chicken wrap that came with the full day package was dry, it needed extra dressing. The included activities (kayak, paddle board, etc..) were good. Beach volleyball nets and balls were ok (bring your own ball if you have it), the sand had a lot of hard marble-sized cones from the surrounding trees, tough on the feet - good shade though.

サンドバー天使の海　シュノーケリング＆ウミガメウォッチクルーズ　船上のBBQグリルで焼くハンバーガーランチ付き！＜午前／日本語クルー＞

I had high expectations. 期待しすぎました

Reviewed by: くぅち

First of all, the pickup did not arrive on time. I was anxious after waiting for nearly 30 minutes, thinking I might be at the wrong location.

Perhaps due to the bad weather, the sea did not look beautiful. It was very cold even though it was July.

Above all, I was disappointed that the sandbar was different from the promotional photos.

まず集合時間通りに迎えが来なかった。
30分近く待たされたので、場所を間違えたかもと不安になりました。

天候が悪かったせいか、海が綺麗に思えませんでした。
7月なのにとても寒かったです。

何より、宣材写真と違うサンドバーにがっかりしました。

Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkeling Tour & BBQ Lunch with Waikiki Pickup

Nice to do, could be better

Reviewed by: Michelle

Overall the tour was nice but there were a few things I wish I had known beforehand.

1 - I went in July & the sandbar water height was about at my bottom (I'm 5' tall). It wasn't good for any toddlers because they wouldn't be able to stand on the sand, so we had to carry our 2 1/2 year old the whole time. Current is a little strong for the toddler too. I was hoping it would be the time of year where the water was below knee deep so the toddler can enjoy.

2 - the only activity on the sandbar was volleyball, which I don't play. Other tours had other activities listed on their tour which I wish this tour had, especially for the price! It was a more expensive tour than others & had less activities than other tours I was researching. Other tours had live music. For the price, it should have more perks, The only good thing was that this was available last minute & they got us in which I appreciated.

3 - The food was good & the hot chocolate at the end of the snorkeling portion was great! However, like some reviews said, you could at least give us fresh pineapple vs canned. That was horrendous for this being Hawaii. Burger, beans & bag of chips was perfect!

Making family memories!

Reviewed by: C Webster

Absolutely enjoyed the excursion. I was able to book for a family of 7 only days in advance. Glad that worked out for us! The crew was professional, fun, and caring. I was a first time snorkeler and non swimmer. One of the crew members was kind to tote me around the reef to help ease my anxiety. I saw a majestic turtle and fish! The bbq burger lunch was superb! They stayed on schedule. No complaints whatsoever. I would absolutely recommend booking on Veltra.com for booking with Captain Bob’s snorkel tour! It was quick and convenient. You won’t be disappointed. It made for a memorable day! Thank you to the Captain Bob’s crew! You guys were amazing!!

Excellent snorkeling trip

Reviewed by: Tara

This was a very organized snorkeling trip. Only 5 captains are allowed to go to the sandbar. Stunning scenery in the sandbar. Our kids played volleyball and we drank beer! We got back on the boat and ate a delicious lunch of hamburgers. Then headed out to snorkel. On the way we saw several sea turtles. The snorkeling was along a coral reef and we saw many cool fish and another turtle. One of the workers took my 12 year old out and helped her snorkel. She was sacred to go out. That was very impressive! I would definitely recommend this company! Everyone had a great time!!

All-Inclusive Oahu Island Tour with Lunch & Waimea Valley Waterfall Nature Walk

Disappointed for sure!

Reviewed by: Dan

I was under the impression we were on a smaller shuttle bus, not a big bus. By the time we got picked up we had to sit in the back of the bus. Only a few people wore masks. I had paid more for this tour because I thought it was in a smaller vehicle. I saw many smaller shuttles and was told by the tour guide that this company used to use smaller shuttles but now went to the big bus. The tour guide knew a lot about the island that was interesting but it was obvious that he was sure high on himself. We spent a lot of time riding the bus and getting on and off. Last time I was on Oahu I rented a car and it was much more enjoyable.

カイルアビーチ送迎シャトルサービス　嬉しい5時間滞在！ビーチグッズなど各種レンタル付き＜日本語スタッフ／ランチ付＞

At first, it's a bit confusing. ちょっと最初は戸惑う

Reviewed by: R&S

It's more like a rental shop provided at the meeting place rather than a tour image. The staff are all friendly and approachable!

Since we didn't plan to go into the ocean that day, we only used the bicycles. The bicycles have wider tires compared to those in Japan, and they move quite well with just a light push. The brakes have their quirks (laughs), so definitely experience them on-site.

For those planning to go snorkeling, Kailua Beach is nice, but it might be a bit challenging to go all the way to Lanikai.

Especially, managing your belongings might be difficult.

There are various shops to enjoy while exploring Kailua. A great souvenir for women is Kanikai Bath & Body!

Also, there are a lot of wild birds. Additionally, since the tour time can be quite long, if you're confident in your stamina, I recommend climbing up to the Pillbox.

Regarding lunch, you can choose from three options, and we went with the BBQ plate and pizza. As mentioned in the comments, the pizza is different from what you find in Japan; it's oily, and the crust is thick yet crispy and delicious.

The BBQ plate is also tasty, but the eating area might be a bit questionable in terms of hygiene. The area in front of the pizza shop was clean! Since you're overseas, it's probably best not to worry too much about it!

ツアーのイメージではなく、集合場所のお店の提供されている貸出店舗という感じです。
スタッフさんは、みなさんフレンドリーで親しみやすいですよ！

私達は当日は海に入る予定がなかったため自転車のみ利用でした。
自転車は、日本と違いタイヤの幅も大きく軽く漕げば結構すすみます。
ブレーキは一癖あり（笑）是非現地で体験してください。

シュノーケリングされる予定の方はカイルアビーチは良いですが、ラニカイまでいくとなるとちょっと大変かも。

特に、荷物管理が難しいかもしれませんね。

カイルア散策ではいろいろなお店もあり楽しめますよ。
女性向けのお土産で良かったのはKanikai　Bath&Bodyです！

あととにかく、野鳥が多いです。
またツアー時間が結構長くとれるので、体力に自信がある方はピルボックスの方まで登るのはおすすめです。


ランチについては、3種類から選べるのですが、
私達はBBQプレートとピザにしました。コメントのあるようにピザは日本のとはちがいオイリーで生地はふといのにサクサクでうまいです。

BBQプレートも美味しいのですが、食べる場所はちょっと衛生的に微妙かも。ピザ屋さんの前は綺麗でした！
海外ですのであんまり気にしすぎないほうが良いですね！

Reviewed by: kp123

This was a great experience! We stayed in Waikiki and the pick-up and drop-off was amazing, especially at the end of the day since we were able to sleep on the shuttle home. Swimming around and playing volleyball on the sandbar was fun! The crew did a good job getting the passengers involved. After lunch we drove around and saw sea turtles before heading to the reef to snorkel. It was our first time snorkeling, but the crew was helpful making sure we were comfortable with the gear. We had a blast! Would definitely book this if you're looking to maximize your time with activities.

野生のイルカウォッチング＆ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ　ジャンボスライダーやSUPも楽しめる！＜ランチ付き／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎／日本語または英語ガイド＞

It's a rip-off. There's no value for the high price. ぼったくり。高価な値段に対して価値は無い。

Reviewed by: hawa

I couldn't swim with the dolphins. I could only watch them swimming from the boat. I was really disappointed because I joined thinking I would be able to swim with them.

The website mentioned dolphin watching, but it was only on the top page, and the wording on other pages was ambiguous, leading me to believe I would be swimming close to the dolphins, but instead, I just watched them from the boat for a few minutes.

There are still videos on YouTube showing people swimming with dolphins, which feels misleading, like a promotional ad.

The snorkeling afterward had no corals or tropical fish at all; what were we supposed to see in such a barren sea? I was told by the crew that we would see turtles, but there were none. Other guests quickly got out of the water and seemed bored on the boat.

The only fun part was the slide, but paying 20,000 yen per person for this experience is way too high and not worth it. I've participated in various tours before, but this was the least satisfying and the most expensive.

The lunch was not tasty either. The optional photos, which are also quite expensive, are definitely not worth it. The pictures we took ourselves were much better, and since we couldn't swim with the fish, turtles, or dolphins, we ended up with photos of just floating in the sea or sitting on the boat.

I absolutely do not recommend this tour. I even wonder if they set such high prices because they are struggling with fewer customers. I regret not choosing a different tour.

イルカと一緒には泳げません。船の上からイルカが泳いでいるのを眺めるだけ。イルカと泳げると思い参加しただけに残念でなりません。
HPにはイルカウォッチングと記載がありましたが、TOPページに載っているのみで、他のページにはイルカと泳げる様な曖昧な書き方だった為、イルカの近くには行けないけど、見える距離で一緒に泳ぐのかなと思い参加しましたが、船の上から数分イルカを眺めるだけです。
YouTubeにもイルカと泳いでいる動画が未だに載せてあったり、誘導広告のようで、紛らわしいです。
その後のシュノーケルは珊瑚も熱帯魚も全くおらず、何も居ない海で何を見ろと言うのでしょうか？
亀と会えると搭乗員から言われていたのに、亀も居ない。他のお客さんも早々に海から上がりつまらなそうに船でしてました。
唯一滑り台だけが面白かったですが、これで1人２万円の料金は高すぎて割に合わない。今まで色々なツアーに参加しましたが1番満足度が低く、高額でした。
お弁当も美味しくない。オプションで付けられる、これまた高額な写真は絶対に付けない方がいい。自分達で撮った方がよっぽど良い写真ばかりで、魚も亀もイルカとも泳げないので、ただ海に浮いてるだけ、船に座ってるだけの写真です。
こちらのツアー絶対にオススメしません。
客が少なくなり、経営厳しいからなのか、こんなに内容と見合っていない高額な金額設定にしているのではないかとさえ思います。違うツアーにすれば良かったと後悔です。
