Oahu
The crew was great. The website said to bring snacks and drinks which we did but they had some on the boat for all which was a plus. The water was high tide and not so clear. We were hoping. the coral and water would be much clearer. Not captains fault. The only thing thing that we did not like was the boat did not have flippers. Snorkeling gear should have flippers. You can get around better. We did see some turtles even though the water was murky.
Aloha MIA, mahalo for sailing with Captain Bruce and sharing your review. We're sorry to hear that weather and also provided snorkeling gears didn't include fins. We hope you enjoyed your time at the sandbar and we look forward to having you onboard with us again in the future!
Did the V.I.P table for my father’s Birthday and the whole family had a blast definitely would suggest booking the VIP because of the drink service and food service brought to you. It also includes a picture for every adult in your group.
Aloha Jose, Thank you so much for your feedback, and happy to hear that that the celebration of your father's birthday was enjoyable for everyone. Please post your comments and fun photos on our Instagram or Facebook page....Germaine's Luau & Special Events, or #germainesluau. We would defintely appreciate that! Hope you will come back and visit us again one day, and tell your friends of your experience too!! Mahalo, Germain's Luau Ohana
Captain Bob’s was such an amazing experience!! The people there were really helpful with instructions and they were so sweet! Truly a 10/10 experience!
The crew was so awesome and really made sure everyone was comfortable and was having fun !
Mahalo Tee for choosing Captain Bruce! We love your pictures and glad that you enjoyed your time at sandbar! Mahalo and we look forward to having you onboard again in the future!
My friends and I had a ton of fun on this catamaran! It was super accommodating and the workers were all very sweet and welcoming. It was super nice to spend some time around the area while not completely emptying my bank account.
The only water park in Hawaii. Most of the rides are pretty fun to ride on. Not many options Other than that the lines went by the quick, the rides were pretty fun themselves, and the day pass is a great option for the day in my opinion.
Such a great time! Played volleyball and then had some burgers. Totally recommend!! Was able to swim the reef three times. Saw so many turtles and even some eels. Loved the crew and had a blast. Would totally do again.
We had the best flight! It was our first time on Oahu. This was a wonderful way to see the island from the air before we started exploring. We had a great pilot who was very knowledgeable. We will definitely be doing this again!
Such a well thought out organized and creative luau. I’ve been to other luau’s on the island, but this one is hands down the best. The Chief was so entertaining and the shows were amazing! I was also able to take terrific photos! Highly recommended.
It was great experience and we all have fun.Captain and staff members are very courteous and helpful.
Wonderful crew. They interact with everyone and add to the enjoyment. Great sailing!!!
Worth every penny, We will be doing this again when we return to the islands. The crew was friendly, interactive with everyone, and also very caring and attentive to the folks that didn’t have their sea legs. The day we went, we swam with 3 spinner dolphins, and some bottle nose, then on the way to the coral reef we saw a pod of over 500 dolphins. The snorkel, slide, paddle board spot was rad as well, legit like diving into a nature film. Getting to see a sea turtle in nature was just an amazing end to an already awesome day! To the crew and cpt. Mahalo for such a great adventure!
This was a breathe taking experience that my boyfriend and I got to experience. From start to finish they were very accommodating and crew was very nice and sweet. Always checking if we needed anything. Highly recommended and well worth your money.
So much fun- the best day of my vacation! The crew was exceptionally informative friendly and FUN!! I highly recommend this excursion.
It was our first time trying this out and we completely enjoyed the experience
Seniors, couples, solo travelers, even kids --- would like this tours to experience the sandbar and snorkeling (turtles and school of fish... love it!!!) The company even brought floaties and paddle boards for you to use for free!!! My mom got scared of the snorkeling part so she didn't do it but she still enjoyed the boat ride and the sandbar! It was a nice experience for the rest of my family and I... we saw many tortoises and swam with them. I recommend trying Captain Bruce Tour!
Mahalo Amelia Family for joining Captain Bruce tour! Thank you for your wonderful review. We are very pleased to hear the whole family had a great time at the sandbar. Mahalo and we look forward to having your family onboard again in the future!
Chiefs luau was so entertaining. Chief was hilarious and the dancers were amazing. We loved the atmosphere and staff was so friendly. I recommend this as a MUST go to event. Food was really good. We were so glad we picked this luau and would definitely go to again. Thank you all for a wonderful experience.
Had a blast with my girlfriend on the boat. Highly recommend this
The food can be better, also, the ticket said it was waiter served, but It wasn't like that, it was only for the VIP tables . Also, the ticket said open seating, and they didn't let us sit where we wanted and assigned us the farthest table, where we couldn't see very well.
Aloha Natalia, I'm sorry you were disappointed, however you purchased our basic package which does not come with Table Service, or "waiter served". The Vip package comes with the Table Service for beverages and dinner. We normally offer open seating in the Original package, but due to the covid guidelines when you attended our luau, we couldn't. We had to assign tables for Tracking purposes, to know where all our guests were seated. It's a difficult task to sit people at safe distance to each other, with limited seating capacity. If you were able to book a little earlier, your seats may have been better. Even our Vip tables,..if you booked early for a certain date, the odds of you being seated in the front row would be greater. We hope you'll give us another chance on your next visit to our beautiful island, after we pass through this unusual time in our lives.
Sincerely, Germaine's Luau Ohana
Best team! Best time! And overall Incredible Experience! Enjoyed every second of it
Great time !! First time out on a boat and it was fantastic. Friendly, informative staff. Plenty of fun. Will definitely book to go on one of the longer outings next time
I found this activity through veltra.com and boy do I owe so much to this website cause this trip was one of the highlights in my trip! Its a must do when in Honolulu the view the ride and everything was amazing. Captain John and his team were accommodating with water, drinks, and ice if needed.
This was a great time, We had a party of 6 and we all said we'd do it again!!!!
The Crew of the Honu Lani was great. Jimmy, the Captain gave clear and informative safety briefing and also snorkeling recommendations. He was very professional and his crew was EVERYWHERE! They were at the stern when we got in and out of the water, at the bar serving beverages, putting out lunch, in the water when we were snorkeling. Crew was Andrea, Alek, Marco and another girl interviewing for a deckhand job. They were all great! Andrea was so nice and helped the passengers nonstop the entire cruise. Alek is the man, (I think Bernie Sanders is his Dad). A friend of mine jumped off the side of the boat and her iWatch came off. This Cat (Alek) jumped in like David Hasselhoff and came up with it on the first dive down. I think he was more surprised than we were, it is a big Ocean. Marco was nice also, sorry guy, did not talk to you much.
Overall, great cruise. 95% great because of the crew!
Jason and Trevor are awesome!!! Can’t wait to book them again next time!
Mahalo Tangco Family for joining our tour! We love your fun photos at sandbar!
The best crew in the world, super attentive all the time, very helpful.
Jason and Alan were very friendly and knowledgeable. Jason took me out to snorkel and I saw fish, coral, and turtles. The sandbar was really cool and neat. I recommend Captain Bruce.
Aloha Monica, on behalf of our Captain and Crew, we would like to thank you for this amazing review. We look forward to having you onboard with us again in the future!
Veltra’s refund policy for cancelling more than 24 hours is not as lenient as other booking sites. We did not see a direct way to ask for refund either.
Glass bottom boat was great! We went twice in a day.
We had a great time. The crew was exceptionally friendly. The boat was clean and they offered drinks and snacks.
I can’t say enough on the crew members they were very accommodating and made our trip extremely fun
The views were incredible. Snorkeling on the barrier reef was a one of a kind experience.
Mahalo Claudia! We're very pleased to hear that you had a great time at sandbar. Thank you so much for joining us and giving us your wonderful review. We hope to see you in the near future!
A must do when visiting Oahu. The crew was amazing. The best excursion we booked.
