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

Great Lunch, OK snorkel

Reviewed by: BCDavis

The captain, crew, boat accommodations were all good - great! But the reason for this excursion was the snorkeling and that was just OK.

First the good: The crew did a fantastic job taking care of us all on the boat. They seamlessly prepped all the food without us realizing they were doing it, and then served it very effectively! It was really good and plenty of it. Gotta be fast to ask for seconds tho as the crew is very efficient cleaning up. The boat ride was also great!

Now the OK: I fully expected the crew would extend their care to the snorkeling adventure and split us up into groups and take us around the coral reef. They did not, and we were left to swim and fend for ourselves not really knowing how to navigate a reef without coming in contact with it, not really knowing what we should be looking for. I "happened" across a turtle that came up from the depths of the coral and almost collided with me... so I saw that one, but not much else because I wasn't sure what I should be looking at.

Snorkeling and more at the sandbar. サンドバーでシュノーケリングその他

Reviewed by: ちゃちゃまさ

I booked the afternoon trip. Departure at 1 PM (lunch will be served at that time), arriving at the sandbar in about 30 minutes. After that, there will be activities until around 3:30 PM. We chose the bumper tube, which was a fun first experience. After that, you can try kayaking, SUP, and more. During snorkeling, you can see many fish swimming around. This time, the sandy beach didn't appear, but we had a great time. It might be even more beautiful than Hanauma Bay, and I think it's nice that it's not crowded.

午後便を予約しました。13時出港(その際に昼食)、30分程度でサンドバー到着。その後15時30分程度まで、アクティビティとなります。私達は、バンパーチューブを選択、初めての経験で面白かったです。その後は、カヤックやSUP等、何でも体験できます。シュノーケリングでは、たくさんの魚達が泳いでいるのを見ることができます。今回は砂浜は現れませんでしたが十分楽しむことができました。ハナウマ湾より綺麗かもしれませんし、混雑していないのが良いと思います。

Snorkeling is fun. シュノーケリングは楽しい

Reviewed by: REF-3

We participated in mid-October as a couple in our 60s. Among the approximately 20 participants from Japan, everyone except us were newlyweds. There were also couples from Australia who were retired.

Due to the timing, the tide was high, and the white sand was not visible until the tide went out. If you want to walk on the white sand shown in the photos, you'll need to adjust your timing for participation.

However, with the blue sky and sea, the uniquely shaped mountains visible in the distance, and the cheerful hospitality of the crew on board, I felt a sense of liberation. We also saw sea turtles and manta rays. I would like to participate again.

If you're looking for clearer water and a variety of fish while snorkeling, Hanauma Bay might be a better option.

10月中旬に60歳台夫婦で参加。日本から参加された方20名程は、私たち以外新婚さんでした。他にはオーストラリアから来たリタイア後のご夫婦もいた。
時期的に潮が高くて、白い砂が見えるまで潮が引いてはいなかった。写真にある白い砂の上を歩きたければ、参加時期の調整は必要。
でも、青い空と海、視界に見える独特の形をした山、船上クルーの方々の陽気なおもてなしがあり、心が解放された気分になった。ウミガメとマンタも見られた。また参加したい。
シュノーケリング時の海の透明度や見られる魚の豊富さを求めるなら、ハナウマベイの方が良いかも。

I was grateful for the Japanese staff, but they spoke to me in a casual tone the whole time. You could say it was friendly, but there were moments that felt condescending, which made me uncomfortable. The weather was bad, so I couldn't see the scenery like in the photos, but there were light snacks and other aspects of the service were good.

Reviewed by: ks513

My husband, 71, and I, 64, went kayaking in the Hawaiian sea for about an hour! With Hawaiian music playing, we headed to the sandbar. The water was deep up to my shoulders, which was a bit scary, but thanks to the wonderful people at the sandbar who took care of us, it became a fun memory. I am grateful.

It depends on the season. 季節によります

Reviewed by: Captain

It seems that the sandy beach only appears during the summer, and without the blue sea and white sandy beach, the activities are the same wherever you go: riding boats, snorkeling, and paddleboarding. Moreover, since there is no beach, activities are conducted by getting on and off the boat.

I participated in late October, which is just before the rainy season, and it often rains in the morning. Since the timing of the tides also varies by season, I think it's best to carefully consider the season and time of day when participating.

写真のように砂浜が現れるのは夏場だけのようで、青い海と白い砂浜がなければ、ボートに乗って、シュノーケリングをして、SUPをして帰ってくる、どこに行っても同じようなアクティビティです。しかもビーチが無いのでボートから乗り降りしてアクティビティを行います。
今回参加したのは10月下旬でしたが、もうすぐ雨期になる時期、午前中は雨が降ることも多いです。まだ潮の満ち引きの時間も季節によって異なるため、参加する季節、時間帯を事前に良く検討しておいた方が良いと思います。

My cousin and I had an amazing time. The stuff was awesome; helpful and fun.
This is a very cool location; we went during high tide and have no regrets of selecting that time slot. The weather was warm, the water was calm and clear. We took advantage of all of the activities; we kayaked, paddle boarded and hung out on the floating platform. The live music was the cherry on top. I would definitely recommend booking this specific tour.

The activities are enjoyable, and the sea is beautiful. アクティビティが楽しい美しい海

Reviewed by: あや

Everyone who participated in the tour was Japanese. They provided explanations in Japanese on the boat. Since I made the reservation without considering the tide schedule, when we arrived, the water was about knee-deep, and by the time we returned, it was at waist height. The waves were fairly decent.

I was able to rent a stand-up paddleboard, which was fun, and I also got to see sea turtles.

The snorkeling was quite tough because they didn't provide fins, and the waves were high. The water was murky, so I couldn't see many fish.

The photos I took while paddleboarding turned out really beautiful when I looked back at them later!

On the boat, we could enjoy warm coffee, juice, snacks, and spam rice balls for free. The apples were delicious. Since we couldn't see the sandbar, I think it's better to participate during low tide.

ツアーに参加したのは全員日本人でした。船の上では日本語で説明もしてくれました。潮の満干期を気にせず予約した為、着いた頃は膝上程度、帰りには腰高位になっていました。波もまあまああり。
サップを借りることができたので、遊べて楽しかったのと、海亀も観られました。

シュノーケルは足ヒレを貸してもらえないため、波も高く結構辛かったです。
濁っていたので魚はほとんど見られませんでした。

サップをしながら撮った写真はあとから見返したら凄く綺麗でした!

船のうえで暖かいコーヒーやジュース、スナック、スパムおにぎりが無料で食べれます。りんごも美味しかったです。
サンドバーは見られなかったので、参加する際は干潮時間に合わせたほうが良いかと思います。

It was enjoyable for ages 2 to 87! 2歳から87歳まで楽しめました!

Reviewed by: 東北の親父

We participated in a tour with six people, including a 2-year-old child and an 87-year-old grandmother. The guide, who spoke Japanese, and the captain were friendly, and since it was a private tour, they let us decide on the timing for snorkeling and paddleboarding based on our pace. Unfortunately, it was after a full moon, and the tide was high, but the adults could enjoy the water at waist height while the child had fun with a float and life jacket.

The 87-year-old grandmother found the sea water cold, so I requested a wetsuit the day before, and they had it ready for her on the day of the tour, which was a great help! They also prepared floats and paddleboards for us, allowing us to play longer than we would have on a shared boat. We took many photos, and they taught us paddleboarding carefully, making it a truly enjoyable experience.

For snorkeling, the captain pulled the child on a boat, and the guide supported those who couldn't swim, so everyone had fun. We saw many sea turtles and fish, which was amazing. The snorkeling was kept short for the child and grandmother, allowing us to enjoy the sea longer, which is a unique advantage of a private tour.

After coming out of the water, it was cold, but they provided warm tea, and for the children who wanted to keep playing, they pulled them on the back of the boat, making it a perfect tour for families with small children and elderly members. They also prepared plenty of snacks and juice, and the child was thrilled with the apples.

The tour flew by, and we chatted a lot with the guide, creating wonderful memories for the whole family. The spam rice balls were also fantastic. The weather and tide are unpredictable, but it was a wonderful tour overall!

I recommend bringing a light jacket because the bus air conditioning is strong, and since it gets cold after being in the sea, it's a good idea to change clothes in the restroom before getting on the bus.

2歳の子供と87歳のおばあちゃんをつれて6人でツアーに参加しました。
日本語の話せるガイドさんとキャプテンもフレンドリーで貸し切りツアーということでこちらのペースに合わせてシュノーケルとsupなどで遊ぶ時間を相談して決めさせてくれました。
あいにく満月の後で潮が満ちていましたが大人は腰ぐらいの高さで子供は浮き輪とライフジャケットで楽しめました。
87歳のおばあちゃんは海の水が冷たかったので前日にウェットスーツのリクエストを送ったところ当日用意してくださり助かりました!
浮き輪やsupも私達用に用意してもらえて乗合いボートよりも長く遊ぶことができました!
写真もたくさん撮ってもらえてsupも丁寧に教えてもらえたので本当に楽しかったです。
またシュノーケルは子供はボートに乗せてキャプテンが引っ張っていってくれ、泳げない人はガイドさんがサポートしてくれて全員で楽しめてウミガメもたくさん見れて魚も見れたので感動でした。
子どもやおばあちゃんのペースでシュノーケルは短めにしてもらえて長く海で遊べたのも貸し切りツアーならではでした。
海から上がったら寒かったのですが温かいお茶を用意してもらえたり、まだ遊びたい子どもはボートの後ろに乗せて引っ張ってくれたりといたせり尽せりで小さな子ども連れ、高齢者連れには本当におすすめのツアーでした。スナックもジュースもたくさん用意してもらえて子どもはりんごに大喜びでした。
あっという間のツアーでガイドさんともたくさんおしゃべりして家族みんなの素敵な思い出になりました。
スパムおにぎりも最高でした。
天気と潮の満ち引きは運なのでどうすることもできませんがそれを含めて素敵なツアーでした!

It was my first experience with snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding, but I felt safe starting snorkeling from a spot where I could stand. They provided a lesson on how to paddleboard, but it was more difficult than I expected. I'm glad I decided to go for it; it turned out to be a great experience.

I have been to Hawaii more than 20 times with my family, but this time I participated in this tour with a friend.

I was truly moved by the wonderful singing and performance, even more than I expected! It was also helpful that there were staff members who spoke Japanese. The activities were a lot of fun, and I got to experience multiple things! Thank you for the big donuts and juice! I want to participate again!!

クアロア・ランチ カネオヘ湾カタマランクルーズ・オーシャンボヤージ&古代養魚池(フィッシュポンド)巡りツアー<90分>

I was able to see sea turtles! 海亀見れました!

Reviewed by: びっぱ

First, we crossed the fish farming pond in a small boat and visited several locations used as filming sites for movies.

After that, we made our way to the sandy beach and switched to a glass-bottom boat to head out to sea. You can see the majestic mountains, including Kualoa Ranch, from the water! The view was breathtaking, just like the pictures on postcards! We also got close to Chinaman's Hat, which was clearly visible. The color of the sea changed beautifully between the shallow and deep areas.

We stopped for a bit offshore, and our guide helped us look for sea turtles. This time, we spotted sea turtles surfacing for air four times, and one of them was huge and very close to the boat.

When the turtles were hard to find, our guide cheerfully suggested looking over there or pointed out an island that looked like a turtle. They were very engaging and even took photos for us, showing great hospitality!

One thing to note is that when switching to the boat heading out to sea, it stops on the sandy beach without a dock, so you need to time your boarding with the waves; otherwise, your shoes might get wet. I wore sneakers and managed to get on and off at the right time, but since we walked on the beach, I wouldn't recommend wearing shoes you don't want to get dirty.

まずは養殖池を小さな船で渡り、映画のロケ地で使われた場所をいくつか見学しました。

その後砂浜に渡り、グラスボートに乗り換えて、沖の方へ船で向かいました。
クアロアランチをはじめとする雄大な山々を海から見れます!ポストカードにある写真のような絶景でした!
チャイナマンズハットも近くまでいくのでよく見えます。
海の色も浅いところと深いところで変わってきれいでした。

沖の方で少しとまって、ガイドさんが海亀を探してくれます。
今回は息継ぎをする海亀が4回見れて、そのうちの1匹は船の間近で、すごく大きかったです。

ガイドさんも亀が見当たらないときは、あっちを見てた方がいいよ!や、あそこに亀の形に見える島があるよ〜など楽しくおしゃべりしてくれました。
写真を撮ってくれたりなど、サービス精神旺盛でした!

注意点としては、沖に出る船に乗り換える際に砂浜に船がとまっているので桟橋などなく、波が引いたタイミングに乗り込まないと靴が濡れます。
私はスニーカーで行きましたが、タイミングよく乗り降りできたので大丈夫でしたが、砂浜を歩いたりするので汚したくない靴などで行くのはおすすめしません。

We used this service for our honeymoon trip. The staff was very friendly and took a lot of photos for us. It was also reassuring that they spoke Japanese, allowing us to enjoy ourselves without worry.

In the first half, we enjoyed activities like stand-up paddleboarding and floating on inflatable rings, and in the second half, we went snorkeling. During snorkeling, there were instructions to avoid touching the coral, but while swimming, my feet accidentally brushed against it, causing some scrapes. If you have marine shoes, it might be a good idea to bring them.

Depending on the season, I think it's a popular tour, so I recommend making a reservation more than a month in advance!

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

Captain Bob’s snorkel

Reviewed by: pennyswete@gmail.com

Such a fun and memorable experience! We first stopped at the sandbar and played volleyball. The volleyball was actually so fun even if you have never played! The lunch was good and filling and offer beer and other choices of beverages. After that, we headed to the coral reef and spent about an hour there swimming and enjoying the fish! We say sea turtles and manta rays from afar which was unforgettable. Overall, highly recommend this fun experience for everyone!

What a great excursion with live music to enjoy as we were heading out & returning from the sandbar. The weather eventually co-operated with the sun coming out on the last hour. Highly recommend this company for this excursion.

It was different from what I expected! 思っていたのとは違いました!

Reviewed by: ショア

The sandbar was quite deep!
The music was good.
I didn't enjoy it much because the explanations from the Japanese tour guide were a bit sharp.
I think it would be better if they interacted in a brighter and friendlier manner!

サンドバーはかなり深かったです!
音楽はよかったです。
日本人のツアーガイドの方の説明等刺々しくあまり楽しめませんでした。
もっと明るくフレンドリーに接した方がいいと思います!!

Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We are truly sorry that the water level was high on the day of your visit, and we regret that we could not meet your expectations. We also apologize if our staff's manner of speaking made you feel uncomfortable.

Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Hawaiian Music - Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports

Great day at the Sandbar

Reviewed by: Nick

The sandbar is very nice, we arrived at the tour boat with plenty of time and were able to find parking! which was great, but arrive early to be safe, we received a safety briefing and we were on our way!

The boat ride from the dock to the sandbar is short but with entertainment along the way and snacks.

Once you get there there is a place to snorkel and swim around, and a platform to lounge and baste in the sun.

However the day we went tide was high so the water was up to our chests, however not something the tour can control.

We liked it a lot and would do it again.

The captains were very kind! キャプテンたちはとても親切でした!

Reviewed by: やよいちゃん

The captains were very friendly and kind. There was a wide variety of snacks and drinks, and the spam onigiri was especially great.

I was also glad to catch a glimpse of the sea turtles.

Unfortunately, the snorkeling was quite crowded. Moving in a large group felt like being in a packed train, making it far from an enjoyable snorkeling experience. Other activities were fun, though.

キャプテンたちがとてもフレンドリーで親切でした。
スナック類やドリンクも豊富で、特にスパムおにぎりは最高でした。

ウミガメもちらっと見る事ができて良かったです。

残念なのはシュノーケリングの人口密度。大人数で一斉に移動するため、前後左右ぎっしりでぶつかりながらの移動。満員電車の中のようなシュノーケリングで楽しむというには程遠い感じです。その他のアクティビティは楽しかったです。

I have to go again next year. これは来年も行かないと

Reviewed by: あやゆきぱぱ

I went for the first time this year. When we got on the boat, it was raining, but I was glad that it stopped by the time we arrived at the sandbar. The water was knee-deep in some areas, which made it enjoyable. We could also rent SUPs and had a great time. There was a Japanese-speaking guide who provided support. They took us snorkeling, and we were able to see plenty of turtles. The guide helped us, a couple in our 60s, with snorkeling, and we could just float around. I want to go again next year. I think it would be wonderful if it were sunny. It was already so great even with the rain and clouds, so I'm looking forward to going again next year. There is a website that checks the tide levels at the sandbar, so I recommend looking it up and choosing a day with low tide when making a reservation. It’s a wonderful world where you can experience the ocean in 360 degrees.

今年初めて行きました。
ボートに乗った時は、雨が降っていたけどサンドバーに到着したときは案がやんでよかった。
深さは膝ぐらいのところもあり楽しむことができました。
SUPなども借りることができ良い時間を過ごすことができます。
日本語を話すガイドがおりサポートしてくれます。
シュノーケリングに連れて行ってくれますが、亀が見放題の状態でした。
我々60代の夫婦の手を引いてシュノーケリングをさせてくれ浮かんでいるだけでよい状態でした。
来年も行きたい。快晴だったらどんなにいいだろうと思う。
雨曇りであれだけよかったので来年も行こうと楽しみにしています。
サンドバーの潮位を調べるサイトがあるので、予約するときはぜひ覗いて潮位の低い日を選ぶことをお勧めします。
360度海の中で体験できる素晴らしい世界です。
