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

Nice!! Don't miss this one.

Reviewed by: MelB

SANDBAR: The sandbar was a surreal experience. It was beautiful to be finally here, but like the beautiful breasts of Italian marble, there is not much one can do with the simplicity of this place, except enjoy the view. I have never been so satisfied with so little to do, but so much to visually feel.

SNORKEL: Nice experience. More fish to see than Kailua Beach area, but less fish than Hanauma Bay.

BOAT and RIDE: Nice vessel. Clean. A little crowded, but I enjoyed the variety of different cultures, their languages and behavior.

Tour Staff: They were friendly, experienced, and kept us safe.

Overall Experience: Very positive and I would recommend this tour.

I booked this for the main event of a company trip. I had previously participated in a plan from a certain famous tour company, but due to scheduling and the tides, I chose this one instead. As a result, I had a very enjoyable time. The Japanese female guide was excellent. I highly recommend it!

Are Japanese people easy targets? 日本人はいいカモなのでは。。？

Reviewed by: T夫妻

I understand that the weather can be unpredictable, so I'll write this with that in mind. Please keep that in consideration as you read.

At the sea turtle observation point, we were guided with a typical foreigner’s vibe. You can take it as fun or annoying.

At the sandbar location, we were dropped off in water that reached our waists, and we had to walk through water that came up to our ankles. It was very cold since the sun wasn't out. In the distance, there were other tours, and I could see the sandbar that I really wanted to see. I thought, why not just go there? But I suspect there are territorial boundaries in place. However, for us participants who paid a lot of money and have limited time, that doesn’t matter. If the sandbar was visible, I wish they had mentioned it.

From start to finish, it felt like a tour that was just taking advantage of Japanese people. That said, this might be something that can be said globally...

天候に左右されるのは承知の上で書きます。
読者側もそれを踏まえてお読み下さい。

ウミガメ観測地点では、適当な外人特有のノリで誘導されます。面白いととるか、ウザいととるか。

サンドバー地点では、今回は水面が腰まであるところで降ろされ、水面がくるぶしのところまで歩かされました。
太陽が出てなかったので非常に寒かったです。
遠方には違うツアーなのか、いかにも見たかったサンドバーが散見されました。
それならばそこまで行けば良いのでは？と思うのですが、おそらく縄張りがあるのではと思います。
しかし、高いお金を払って滞在時間が限られている我々参加者にとっては、そんなの知ったことではありません。
サンドバーが見えているのであれば言ってほしかったです。

最初から最後まで、日本人をカモにしているとしか思えないツアーでした。
とは言いつつ、これは世界的に言えることかもしれませんが。。

Amazing day! We learned so much!! Everything was very well organized from start to end. Our guide, Guy, was funny and very informative about the island and the sites we were visiting. I would highly recommend this trip to everyone except perhaps those with very small children or people needing wheelchair assistance. It can be done but the pace is pretty fast. The Mighty Mo was our favorite part.

I participated in a plan that included lunch. At the sandbar, the guide started a volleyball game, so I was able to have fun with others. It was cold after getting out of the water from snorkeling, so it was a good decision to bring a change of clothes. Those who got on the bus in their swimsuits looked quite cold. On the boat, they also served warm drinks.

ランチ付きプランに参加しました。サンドバーではガイドの方がバレーを始めてくれたので、他の方とも楽しく過ごせました。シュノーケルは海から上がってからが寒かったので、着替えを持って行って正解でした。水着のままバスに乗られていた方たちはかなり寒そうでした。船では温かい飲み物も出してくれました。

I returned wearing my swimsuit with a towel draped over me, but I got really cold on the bus. There are no lockers or changing rooms, so it's better to bring extra towels. They were disposing of leftover snacks during the light meal. I wish they had waited until the participants got off. The water level was about knee-deep. It seems the sandbar is around October 10, so those who got to experience it are lucky. The staff were great at getting everyone excited, and there were no issues with their service. Swimming in a line while snorkeling with a large group is challenging, but I saw a lot of cute little fish!

Very satisfied! 大満足！

Reviewed by: tsunejin

The shuttle bus picked us up at our accommodation, Hyatt Regency Waikiki, so the whole family participated. We signed up thinking, "Half a day on a boat sounds nice," but it was amazing!!

After leaving the harbor, we headed to the "sandbar," about 15 minutes offshore, with white sand (from coral) and a water depth of around 20 cm, covering an area of about 200 square meters. Since it's located offshore, it was a wonderful and unique experience to "walk on the sea," and our family was very satisfied!

We relaxed for about an hour before returning to the boat for a hamburger lunch while moving to the snorkeling point. During that time, we spotted a turtle—lucky us! And then, a seal?! It seems it got lost in this coral lagoon (according to YUKIKO, a Japanese staff member who has been there for 8 years, this was her first time seeing one). While snorkeling, we enjoyed the view of the mountains where Jurassic Park was filmed on our left. With life jackets provided, it was easy and comfortable. Unlike the shallow sandbar we visited earlier, the snorkeling point had a coral reef with a depth of about 5 to 10 meters surrounding an area of about 200 meters. Because of that depth, we were lucky to spot another turtle here!

It was a more enjoyable time than we expected. I highly recommend it to everyone!

送迎バスが、宿泊のハイアットリージェンシーワイキキに当たっれいたので、家族で参加。
「半日、船でゆっくりでいいかな」くらいで申し込んだのですが、最高でした！！
港を出て、15分ほど沖の「サンドバー」、水深20cm程の白砂（サンゴから）の200m四方ほど、海岸から沖にあるので、「海の上を歩く」という不思議な素敵な体験、家族して満足！
1時間ほどゆっくりして船にもどり、ハンバーガーの昼食をとりながら、シュノーケリングポイントへ移動。その間に、亀発見、ラッキー！さらにアザラシ？！どうもこのサンゴのラグーンに迷い込んだようです（日本人スタッフのYUKIKOさんの8年いて初めてとのこと）。左手にジュラシックパーク撮影の山を見ながら、シュノーケリング。ライフジャケットがあるので、楽ちん。周囲に浅瀬が取り巻く先ほどの「サンドバー」とへ違い、シュノーケリングポイントの周囲200mほどのサンゴ群の外周は5～10m深さ。その深さゆえ、ラッキーにもここでも「亀」発見！
期待以上に楽しい時間でした。ぜひ皆さん、どうぞ。

Reviewed by: Joanne Brewer

I am sure I have done this, but will do it again"our visit to Pearl Harbor, was thought provoking,informative, sad, educational and enlightening. The story of Pearl Harbor is a tragic era in our modern history. As an Australian, I empathise with the Americans for the way their service people and civilians were attacked, violated and killed at that time in history. The war in the Pacific involved a list of countries. My place of work, is named after a Hospital Ship "Centaur "..this boat belonged to the Australian fleet. It was bombed off the coast of Queensland, north of Brisbane.....it had the flag stipulating its identity as a Hospital Ship, but was still attacked by a Japanese submarine. Many innocent people lost their lives on that day also, same as in Pearl Harbor. Our freer was sensational, his knowledge and wit were unbelievable..

On the day of the tour, it was cold on the boat, possibly due to the rain and wind. It was advertised as a BBQ, but in reality, it was grilled hamburgers. I wish they had just called it hamburgers; I thought we would be grilling the meat ourselves. The snorkeling was also cold, and everyone was shivering. At times like this, it would be nice if they provided wetsuits. I no longer want to participate in this tour.

It's unfortunate that it's raining. 雨降りで残念

Reviewed by: yuka

It was rainy with occasional clouds and strong winds, making it quite gloomy. I thought it would be amazing if it were sunny, but unfortunately, I could only see the sea turtles from a distance. The water level at the sandbar was low, just below my knees, so that was a good thing. The snorkeling was disappointing as well, possibly due to the rain and wind; there were hardly any fish, and the sea was dark. They ask you to pair up for snorkeling! I participated alone, but since the husband of a couple who joined was observing, I teamed up with his wife, which made it easy for me to join the snorkeling even as a solo participant, so that was nice. All in all, the disappointing part was the weather. I couldn't enjoy the scenery. If you participate in rainy weather, it might be better not to have overly high expectations. I would like to go again when it's sunny next time.

雨時々曇りで風も強風でドンヨリしてました。晴れたら最高ったとは思いますが残念ながら海亀も遠くから少し見るだけでした。サンドバーの水位は低く膝下だったので～それだけは良かったです。シュノーケリングも雨と風のせいか？魚がほとんどおらず海も暗く残念でした。シュノーケリングではバディを組んで下さい！と言われます。１人で参加してましたがカップルで参加してみえた奥様の旦那様が見学されるという事で奥様とバディを組み１人参加でも難なくシュノーケリングに参加出来ましたので～それも良かったです。とにもかくにも残念なのは天気です。景色を楽しむ事は出来ませんでした。雨降りに参加される場合は過度な期待はしない方が良いかも？今度は晴れた時に又行ってみたいです。

The canter in the grasslands of Kohala was the best.

乗馬体験(0.5～2時間)　2歳から参加OKの子供向けコースやサンセット、貸切ランチ付きなど選べるコースで広大な牧場を満喫！＜ガンストック牧場／現地集合＞

Galloping across the land of Oahu on horseback! (Trail riding course for advanced riders only) オアフの大地を馬と駆ける！(上級者のみトレイル乗馬コース)

Reviewed by: シャム猫

After seeing everyone's reviews, I wondered if it would be a bother for me, a beginner who has only completed about 40 lessons, to join. However, I couldn't resist the temptation to ride a horse across the plains of Hawaii, so I nervously signed up. The result was a correct decision to challenge myself; I had a very enjoyable time. Since I usually only trot in the ring, this was my first time trotting on a trail, and it was also my first experience with a Western saddle and operating the reins with one hand. However, our guide Emily kindly taught me, and after learning the tip to loosen the reins compared to English riding, my horse Libby started to run smoothly. We trotted and cantered up the hills, and at the top, there was a wonderful view of the sea, sky, and the land of Oahu. Even if you're not an advanced rider, once you can trot, I highly recommend giving it a try. You'll surely discover even more charm in horseback riding.

The advanced tour is limited to four people per session.

By the way, the ranch is located in Laie, which is on the North Shore, about an hour's drive from Waikiki, just past the Polynesian Cultural Center. The weather there can differ from that in Waikiki. On the day I initially booked, it was sunny in Waikiki, but it was raining on and off at the location, making the trail muddy and dangerous for riding, so the tour was canceled at the last minute, and I had to turn back. Fortunately, I was able to rebook for the next day when there was availability. Both VELTRA and the local tour company, as well as the ranch, were very kind in their responses. However, I recommend that participants in the advanced course check the local weather by calling the ranch directly before departing from Waikiki to confirm if the tour is still on. The beginner walking-only course can still operate with some rain.

皆さんの評価を見て、まだ初心者で40鞍ほどレッスンを終えたばかりの私が参加しても迷惑かなあ、と思いつつ、しかしハワイの平原を馬で駆けてみたい誘惑に勝てず、恐る恐る申し込みました。結果はチャレンジして正解、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。普段はリング内でしか駆け足しないので、トレイルでの駆け足は初めてだし、ウェスタンの鞍や、片手で手綱を操作する方式も初めてでしたが、ガイドのエミリーさんが親切に教えてくれ、イングリッシュ乗馬よりも手綱を緩めるというコツを教わってからは、馬のLibbyちゃんが調子良く走り始めて、軽快なトロットやカンターで丘を駆け上がり、頂上では海と空とオアフの大地が見渡せる素敵な景色が。上級者でなくても、駆け足が出来るようになったら、ぜひ挑戦してみて欲しいです。きっと更に乗馬の魅力が発見出来ますよ。
上級者ツアーは一回につき4人限定だそうです。
尚、牧場があるLaieは、ワイキキからレンタカーで1時間強かかるノースショアにあり、ポリネシアンカルチャーセンターの少し先。ワイキキの天気とは異なる場合があり、当初私が予約した日は、ワイキキは晴天だったが、現地は雨が降ったり止んだりで、トレイルがぬかるんで馬を走らせるのが危険とのことで直前に中止になり、途中で引き返すハメに遭い、たまたま空いてた翌日に予約し直して参加出来ました。ベルトラも現地催行会社も牧場も、とても親切な対応して頂いたので良かったですが、上級コース参加者はワイキキを出発する前に、牧場に直接電話して現地の天候をチェックし、ツアー催行の確認をお勧めします。初心者向けの歩きだけのコースは、多少の雨でも催行出来るそうです。

It exceeded my expectations! 期待以上でした！

Reviewed by: スーパープラム

We arrived after picking up at about three hotels with a large bus shared with various tour companies, which took around an hour. Prices seem to vary, but it looks like around $110 is the standard if lunch is included.

At the end of March, the wind was strong, but we were fortunate with the weather, and we could see the sandbar from quite a distance. If it weren't for the strong winds, it seems we could have set up a net for beach volleyball.

Our guide, Yukiko, who was exclusively for Japanese guests, was truly wonderful and gave us a lot of energy. She took many photos for us, directing us on poses that we wouldn't have thought of ourselves, and even if we did, it would have been difficult to ask someone else to do it (laughs). The unique way she captured us made the photos we took there incredibly valuable. I am grateful for the enjoyable time we shared. Despite doing the same thing multiple times every day, she was never mechanical; you could tell she was genuinely enjoying taking the photos... she was a person with heart. I aspire to be like her.

As for the snorkeling, even though it was my first time, it turned out to be a wonderful experience suitable for a graduation celebration with my 12-year-old child. We saw coral reefs for the first time, colorful fish, and even swam alongside a sleeping sea turtle for a while. I honestly didn't expect to be so moved by snorkeling. There were a few times when seawater got in my mouth or ears, which was bothersome, but I managed to get through it and felt a sense of accomplishment.

When we got back on the boat, the delicious aroma suddenly made me feel hungry. The hamburgers that the captain grilled were just the right weight—not too heavy, not too shabby, with perfect seasoning and cooking. They were the best hamburgers I've ever had. It got cold with the wind, but they quickly prepared warm cocoa, tea, and coffee, which I found very thoughtful. Since tea is available, it might be a good idea to bring some snacks along.

However, I do want to mention one issue... the toilet was difficult to flush, and since you have to put the paper in a bucket, the smell became quite strong towards the end. Still, I was grateful that there was a toilet.

On the way back, I felt even colder than on the way there. Couples who came lightly without beach towels looked quite cold. A wet towel cools down even more in the cold air, so having an extra towel would be better.

Although I had visited Hawaii many times, this was my first time participating in this. It is a bit pricey, but I would definitely like to join again.

They provided life jackets and fins for small children, and everyone was able to enjoy themselves! As long as they can kick their legs, they are fine. Although the elderly didn't snorkel, they were enjoying themselves up to their knees at the practice point in shallow water.

I think people of all ages, from small children to the elderly, can have fun. While I was satisfied with the waters of the North Shore and Hanauma, the colors of the sea here are different. It's definitely worth seeing!

現地ではいろんなツアー会社の方と混載の大型バスで３か所ほどホテルを回ってピックアップ後、小一時間ほどで到着しました。値段にはバラつきがありそうですが、ランチ付きだと大体１１０ドル前後が主流のようです。
３月下旬で風は強かったですが、天気にも恵まれかなり遠くからサンドバーは見えていました。
強風がなければ、ネットを張ってビーチバレーが出来たようです。

日本人オンリーの船のガイドさんのユキコさんは本当に素敵な方で、パワーをもらえました。
写真を撮って頂いたのですが、何枚もポージングを指示して下さり、自分達では考え付かない、また考えついても他人にこちらからお願いしづらい（笑）かなりマニアックな撮り方で、ここで撮って頂いた何枚もの写真だけでも価値があると思っています。楽しい時間を共有して戴き感謝してます。同じ事を一日に何回も毎日毎日されているのに、ちっとも事務的でなく、楽しんで撮って頂いているのがわかるというか・・・心のある方でした。
見習いたいと思います。

そして、本題のシュノーケルは、初めてだったにも関わらず、１２歳の子供との卒業記念に相応しい素敵な体験となりました。
初めて見る珊瑚礁、カラフルな魚達、眠っているウミガメが起きてしばらく一緒に泳ぐことも
出来ました。シュノーケルでここまで感激出来るとは、正直思っていませんでした。
何度か海水が口に入ったり、耳に水が入って気になったりしましたが、なんとかやり遂げられて達成感もありました。

疲れて船に上がると香ばしい香りで急に空腹を感じました。
キャプテンが焼いて下さったハンバーガーは重すぎず、ショボすぎず、塩加減も焼き加減も素晴らしく、最高においしいハンバーガーでした。
風に当たっていると寒くなったのですが、温かいココアや紅茶、コーヒーをすぐ用意して下さっていて、本当にかゆいところに手が届いているなあと、感心しました。
お茶が飲めるので、おやつを持って行かれても良いかもしれません。

ただ、一つだけ困ったことをお知らせすると・・・トイレの流し方が難しいのと、ペーパーを
バケツに入れなければならないので臭いが後半はきつかったです。
それでも、トイレがあるのはありがたかったですけれど。

帰りのバスは、行き以上に寒さを感じました。
バスタオルを持ってこないで身軽に来ていたカップル達は相当寒そうでした。
体を拭いて濡れたバスタオルは冷気でもっと冷えるので、もう一枚別のバスタオルがある方が
ベターです。

ハワイは何度も何度も訪れていたのに初めての参加でした。
お値段はしますが、またぜひ参加したいです。

小さいお子さん達のライフジャケットや足ひれも用意されていて、ちゃんとみんな楽しめていましたよ！バタ足が出来れば大丈夫です。
シュノーケルはさすがにされてませんでしたが、浅瀬の練習のポイントではおばあちゃんも膝まで浸かって楽しんでおられました。

小さい子からご年配の方まで、楽しめると思います。
ノースショアやハナウマの海でも十分満足していましたが、海の色がまた違います。
一見の価値ありですよ！

Completely different from what I imagined. 想像と全く違う

Reviewed by: ララハワイ

I participated at the end of November.
I had been looking at the photos on this site, so it was very different from what I imagined.
First of all, each tour company has its own designated area, and the area for this tour company was just a shallow beach that looked nothing like the photos.

Perhaps due to the rain, the sea was murky, and the water depth was about 1 meter.
The water depth reached up to my stomach, as I am 168 centimeters tall.
It was cold due to the bad weather, and I was enduring while getting into the sea.

I would have appreciated a comment stating that in bad weather, the scenery would be different from the sandbar shown in the photos.

11月末に参加しました。
こちらのサイトの写真を見てたので、想像と違い過ぎました。
まず、ツアー会社ごとに仕切っているエリアがあり、こちらのツアー会社で仕切っているエリアは全く写真とは違うただの浅めのビーチでした。

雨のせいか海は濁っていて、水深も深く1メートルほどありました。
水深は、身長168センチのわたしの胃のあたりまであります。
悪天候で寒くて、我慢しながら海に入ってました。

悪天候の場合、こちらのツアーでは写真のサンドバーへとは異なる風景になりますと、一言コメント欲しかったです。

About two weeks before departing for Hawaii, I wanted to participate in a sandbar tour, but everywhere I searched was fully booked. I finally found this tour, which had a reasonable price and availability, so I didn't have high expectations. However, once I participated, the boat was impressive, and the staff's service was very satisfying. We got to see many sea turtles and had the long-awaited sandbar experience, leaving my whole family very happy.

　ハワイ出発がの2週間ほど前から、サンドバーツアーに参加したいと思いつつ予約を取ろうとしたところ検索ですぐに出てくるところはどこも予約がいっぱいでした。
　やっと見つけたこちらのツアーは価格も安めだし空きがあるしで、実はあまり期待はしていませんでした。
　実際参加してみると船は立派だし、スタッフの対応も大変満足できるものでした。内容的にもたくさんのウミガメに会え待望のサンドバー体験のでき家族全員大満足でした。

The weather was not favorable. 天候に恵まれず＞＜

Reviewed by: りーー

It was a cloudy and windy day from the morning, and it was cold. Everyone was shivering on the boat (laughs). Still, thanks to the very fun guide and crew, everyone seemed to be smiling and having a great time! We could see some sea turtles here and there. The coldness remained at the sandbar as well... Everyone cautiously changed into their swimsuits and entered the water, but it was still cold (laughs). Just as a light rain started to fall, the chill increased, but since we came all this way, we decided to challenge ourselves with snorkeling! The water was a bit murky, but we were still able to see coral and various beautiful fish, which made us satisfied! We were really hungry, so the sandwiches and snacks that tasted like Doritos after returning to the boat were very delicious. I definitely wanted to participate on a nice weather day, but this became a good memory in its own way. I was worried that the morning-only tour might feel insufficient, but I was completely satisfied even with the short time! After that, we returned to Waikiki and were able to do some shopping, so I felt like we used our time effectively. As mentioned in everyone's reviews, the return bus can be chilly since you are wet, so a jacket is essential, and a bath towel is a must! Since there were just two of us, we brought two towels, but we each used one and got wet, so I thought it would have been nice to have one more for covering up on the return bus.

朝から曇っていて風も強く、寒い1日でした。みんな船内でブルブル震えていました(笑)
それでもとっても楽しいガイドさんやクルーの皆さんのおかげで皆笑顔で楽しそうでした！
ウミガメもチラホラ見えました。サンドバーについても寒いのは変わらず･･･。
みんな恐る恐る水着になり、海へ入っていきましたがやっぱり寒い(笑)
ちょうど小雨も降ってきたので寒さ倍増でしたが、せっかく来たのでシュノーケルに挑戦！
海の中はにごった感じでしたが、それでも珊瑚やいろんな綺麗なお魚を見る事ができ満足でした！
お腹ぺこぺこだったので船に戻ったあとのサンドイッチとドリトスみたいなお菓子がとっても美味しく感じました。
天気の良いときにもちろん参加したかったのですが、これはこれで良い思い出になりました。
午前のみのツアーで、物足りないのかなー？と心配でしたが、全然短い時間でも満足でした！
そのあとまたワイキキに戻り、お買い物できたので時間が有効に使えるなーと思いました。
皆さんのレビューにもあるように、帰りのバスは自分が濡れていることもあり冷えますので
上着はもちろん、バスタオルは必須です！私達は2人でしたので2枚持って行きましたが、
それぞれ1枚ずつ使って濡れてしまったので、帰りのバスでのひざかけ用にもう1枚あれば良かったなーと思いました。

Angel's Sea 天使の海

Reviewed by: 永田ファミリー

The sandbar I wanted to visit was truly beautiful. I was a bit disappointed that I didn't see many sea turtles, but the snorkeling instructions were easy to understand and great. Above all, the hamburger we had on the boat, made with grilled meat, was delicious.

行ってみたかったサンドバー、本当に綺麗でした。
ウミガメがあまり見れなかった事は少し残念でしたが、シュノーケルの説明も分かりやすくて良かったです。何と言っても船上でお肉を焼いてくれて食べたハンバーガーが美味しかったです。

Sandbar, Sea Turtle Watch Cruise サンドバー、ウミガメウオッチクルーズ

Reviewed by: まふぃん

On March 29, I participated in a cruise with snacks included. It was my return day, but since I could get back to Waikiki in the morning, it was great to make effective use of my time instead of wandering around aimlessly. I was able to see many turtles, and the sandbar was beautiful because the weather was nice. My nearly 80-year-old mother joined me, and the ship's guide was kind and considerate. However, at the point of disembarking from the ship, the water came up to around her waist, so she decided not to get off. (It’s only knee-deep a little further in, but even without snorkeling, a swimsuit is necessary.)

3月29日、軽食付きのクルーズに参加しました。帰国日でしたが、午前中にワイキキに戻れるので、下手にウロウロするより時間を有効に使えてよかったです。カメさんもたくさん見ることができたし、天気がよかったのでサンドバーも美しかったです。
８０歳近い母も一緒でしたが船のガイドさんは親切で、気をつかってくれました。ただ、船から下りるところだけ、腰の辺りまで水につかってしまうので、母は下りるのを断念しました。（少し歩けばひざ下の深さですが、シュノーケリングをしなくても下は水着が必要です）

A valuable experience often featured on TV programs. TV番組でもよく取り上げられる貴重な体験

Reviewed by: Tettu

It seems that there have been more TV program shoots recently, and it's a place that often gets featured. Since it's a bit away from the beach, you can take interesting photos. The tour bus can be cold inside, so you'll need something to wear over your clothes. For those renting a car, it's recommended to stop by Kailua or Hawaii Kai on the way back.

最近TV番組のロケが増えたようで、よく取り上げられる場所。
浜から少し離れた場所なので、写真を撮っても面白く撮れます。
ツアーバスは車内が寒いので、羽織るものが必要です。
レンタカーの方は帰りにカイルアやハワイカイなどに寄れるので、こちらの方がオススメかな。
