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

Best excursion we ever had.

Reviewed by: Jenica

I don't know where to start, the staff, the boat, the experience were all amazing and so much fun!

We got lucky with weather and it was a perfect hot day out (also it's October so it's not scorching out)
Staff is experienced, fun & down to earth. They've been running the boat for a long time and train the younger staff themselves & they're very friendly.
They also have a lot of knowledge about the whole island but just the boat.

We went straight to the Sandbar on crystal blue water which there's lots of deck space to watch. We had the sandbar all to ourselves, set up a net and because our cruise ended up having less people and all adults, we all easily fit in and played a few games together in the middle of the ocean, honestly how much better and dreamlike can it get. We had a blast while others if not playing walked around the sandbar and enjoyed the amazing views.

Had a much needed lunch complete with some wine & enjoyed the sun.

We then went turtle searching and saw quite a few hanging out and breaching, but honestly having time to just enjoy the breeze and take in the views was great. Again, weather dependant but on a good day, boat is sturdy, hardly any rocking, nobody even looked remotely sick.

Then the snorkeling is on a pop up reef, so you can swim around the entire thing. Again, weather dependant but for us, crystal clear waters, some colourful fish, a nice lap in the water.
100% take the fresh water once or twice rinse after the snorkeling it'll make the rest of your boat time feel much more comfortable!
They served hot chocolate after and it warmed our bodies back up.

We all finished snorkeling rather early so instead of cutting our excursion short, they took us on a scenic route and gave us more sights and time on the boat.

Take this cruise if you're into some vball and snorkelling, those things alone & you'll love this!!

Very Nice and Clean Boat, Best Food and Best Crew

Reviewed by: Dohn Salvador

What else can you ask for: Very Nice and Clean Boat, Best Food and Best Crew. First time in a sand bar and snorkeling with lots of turtles is really worth it.
Come and try them out. If you want to see lots of turtles then you need to join them.

You will love them and I will definitely join them again on my next trip to Hawaii.

Amazing Experience

Reviewed by: Matasa

This was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had on a vacation. It was priced right, just the right amount of time, super amazing staff/guides, and the best value all around. The boat ride is peaceful and quick. The sandbar was amazing and gives you enough time to meet others or practice your snorkeling skills. Seeing the turtles was so exciting and plentiful. The actual snorkeling was really the highlight. It was absolutely beautiful. If you visiting Honolulu this is a must-do activity!

It was probably different from what I imagined. 想像とは違ったかな。

Reviewed by: 波瑠子

I think the tides played a role, but the sandbar was hardly visible at all. The water level was about waist-deep. Since snorkeling was supposed to be done at that sandbar, it was too shallow and there were no fish at all. Not even a sea turtle or any fish could be seen. The two and a half hours of free time were boring. I felt that for turtle watching, it might be better to take the boat to a different location. It was fun to be able to rent a paddleboard. Everyone on the boat was eating and drinking plenty of snacks and juice. By the way, there was no guidance in Japanese at all.

潮の関係もあると思うがサンドバーが全然出ていなかった。腰ぐらいの水位があった。シュノーケルも
そのサンドバーで行う為、浅くて魚が全然いない。
ウミガメはおろか魚すらみられなかった。。２時間半フリーの時間は退屈だった。タートルウォッチも
もう少し船を違う場所に行っても良いのでは？と感じた。パドルボートを貸してもらえたのは楽しくて良かった。船上のスナック、ジュースは皆たくさん食べて飲んでました。ちなみに日本語での案内は全くありません。

Family vacation

Reviewed by: JAM

Came with a large party which consisted of small children. My little ones cried A LOT during the boat ride and I felt really bad, but the two gentlemen working were more than understanding. They provided free drinks, chips and snorkels for everyone and we were also able to bring our own. The tour itself was amazing! The Hawaiian ocean is breathtaking. We definitely want to return when our little ones are a bit older and hopefully they won’t cry next time around!

Best.Day.Ever

Reviewed by: Mommy_AT

Such a memorable experience for my family. The captain and his assistants were friendly and very knowledgeable about the island and the living creatures in and around it. I love how thoughtful the business is - simple things like plastic bins under the seats to make sure our things are kept dry, the drinks and snacks provided aboard, and the cleanliness in and around the boat. Loved every minute of our time there!

Best cruise yet!

Reviewed by: Awesome crew

We did a sunset cruise with another boat but we strongly preferred this one! Our crew was all girls which I thought was amazing!! Amy was great. The drinks were good and they even offered snacks for the kids that were on the boat. It was a nice morning cruise and I recommend to anyone! And they let you go on the netting on this boat, unlike another one I went on.

Great Experience

Reviewed by: Andrew

We had a wonderful experience at Captain Bob’s Sandbar Cruise. The entire staff was very friendly and made sure everyone had a good time. The guy who gave everyone instructions (forgot his name) was very friendly and hilarious to listen to. We got to play on the sand bar for an adequate amount of time, had some burgers, saw some sea turtles, snorkeled, and saw a huge coral reef. Overall a very memorable and fun part of our trip. My only regret was because so much was included I forgot to bring my wallet so I couldn’t tip them! Maybe next time. Thanks for the wonder memories!

We had the best time on the Captain Bob snorkel tour. The sand bar they took us to was awesome to just hang out and get acclimatted to everything. The food was good and the actual snorkel location was pretty great. All the equipment was sanitized and if you wanted you could use your own stuff or buy a set from them.

Worth It

Reviewed by: Gary

We booked this one instead of the self kayaking to the Sandbar, and it was definitely worth it. If you want the relaxing and chill experience, and have fun, book this one. Our captain/crew was super nice and great. They take you to the sandbar, which is super beautiful, and you hangout there for about 1-2 hours, they provide you with boards and water equipments so you don't have to bring your own. The snorkeling was pretty cool too, didn't see any turtles though but still beautiful and great experience.

Great experience all around - even with COVID-restrictions

Reviewed by: Ivona

We did a quick Hawaii trip from Dallas over the Labor Day weekend 2021 and only had 4 days, so our time for excursions was limited, however we are so glad we decided to do Captain Bob's Kanehoe Sandbar excursion.
The crew was super friendly and helpful, the boat ride was fun, with beautiful views throughout and the sandbar was an absolute highlight. The burgers & beer were good. During the snorkeling part we got lucky and see not only a ton of turtles (one swam right underneath us while we were snorkeling), but also a group of manta rays and of course tons of colorful fish.
Money very well spent for the value and experience received. If I could change anything at all, I would maybe spend a little more time at the sandbar itself and less time snorkeling, but that's just a personal preference - again, the tour was great. It could also be fun to offer this experience on certain days for adults only.

Captain Bruce’s turtle snorkel tour was the best activity I’ve ever done in O’ahu. They were also really nice and fun! The sandbar was awesome and I saw turtles, fish, coral , and other marine life. They provided refreshments and light snacks like chips, fruit. I would do this again. And please wear reef safe sunscreen to help protect the coral and ocean animals.
