What an amazing experience. WOW . Breath taking views and amazing fun informative crew. I enjoyed every single second of this experience and very grateful to have been apart. Would definitely recommend. Weather was perfect even though it rained briefly it still was amazing. Volleyball was fun and snorkeling was even better. Sen a few turtles because then dip out pretty fast lol. Lunch was great with drinks and world glass special wine if you choose lol. Also had a convenient restroom. Shuttle pick up was convenient with breathtaking views on the way there. Loved it!!!!!

Last time it rained and it was a bit unsatisfying, but this time I was able to enjoy the beautiful scenery under a blue sky. Even though it was sunny, it was cold, so I was glad I brought two beach towels. I think many people participate hoping to see the sandbar, but it seems you can only see it during a very low tide. (The tide level was -0.5, but the water was up to my knees.) You can see plenty of turtles and fish while snorkeling, so it's a lot of fun. They provide snorkeling gear, but there are no fins. The crew was kind and friendly, and it was clear they wanted to make sure everyone had a good time. This is definitely an activity I want to participate in again. I hope the exchange rate improves or that the prices become more affordable.
前回は雨が降って物足りなかったのですが、今回は青空の下できれいな景色を満喫できました。
晴れていても寒く、バスタオルを2枚持って行っていて正解でした。
砂州を見たくて参加する方が多いかと思いますが、よほどのLOW TIDEじゃないと見られないのではないでしょうか。

This was an amazing experience! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this activity. They provided beautiful live music and some ono doughnuts + beverages! The sandbar was absolutely beautiful!
We recommend to bring water shoes if you want to snorkel…or in general, they come in handy! And don’t forget sunscreen! Also another tip is if you plan to use an Uber/Lyft as transportation that you pre book prior for pick-up especially! Because we were told that people sometimes waited hours to be picked up from that location. We pre-booked and waited probably 15mins.

The boat and crew were great. The snorkeling, not so much. Make sure you check the tide before you book! It's a sand bar and reef, so if the tide is out it will be too shallow to snorkel. We lost an hour of our two hours snorkel time waiting for the tide to come in, and when it did, it was still too shallow to snorkel over the reefs. And with all the ppl walking around stirring up the bottom, it was too murkey to see much anyway. Pretty mush a loss.
But did I mention the crew? Great music, helpful crew saved the day

I go to Hawaii at least once a year but never knew about the sandbar until a year ago when friends took us out on their fishing boat. It was such a cool experience that this time I decided to book this excursion and it was the best experience ever! The boat they took us out on was big and clean with toilets. They had refreshments, doughnuts and a really good musician that played for us on the way out and back. Once we got to the sandbar, they had floating barge, kayaks, paddle boards and snorkeling all set up and ready to go in waist deep water all around. It was perfect for my 6 year old. There was a staff member to help us at each station and they were really attentive and helpful. I've been telling everyone that a trip to Oahu is not complete unless they experience this.

I participated in the afternoon, and the weather was cloudy. I rented equipment because I wanted to experience snorkeling. The wind was strong, and I almost got swept outside the buoy, but the staff member quickly came to help and provided support, which was reassuring. While snorkeling, many fish were swimming around the coral reefs, making it feel like an aquarium. After getting cold, I returned to the boat for a light lunch with sandwiches. The staff's live ukulele and guitar performance was very good and added to the fun atmosphere. There were more foreign guests (Mexican, Spanish, and others) than Japanese guests on board, creating a lively ambiance. If the weather had been a bit sunnier and the wind calmer, I might have enjoyed it even more. It might also be good to check the low tide times before going.
午後からの参加で天気は曇り。SAPを体験したくてレンタル。風が強くてブイの外まで流されそうになったが、スタッフのお兄さんがすぐにHELPに来てくれてサポートしてくれるので安心でした。シュノーケリングでは多くの魚がサンゴ礁の周りを泳いでいて水族館のよう。体が冷えた後は船内に戻り、サンドイッチで軽くランチ。スタッフのウクレレ&ギターの生演奏がとても上手で、盛り上げてくれました。船内は日本人客より外国人客(メキシカン、スパニッシュ、others)の方が多く、とても賑やかな雰囲気でした。もう少し晴天と風が緩やかであれば、もっと楽しめたかも。あと干潮時を調べていくと良いかも。

We took a small boat to the snorkeling point, where we were guided and given various explanations along the way.
It's important to be careful not to hit the coral. I was pointed out a few times.
The sea was very beautiful, and I was able to enjoy a relaxing time underwater while taking in the scenery.
I was glad I brought my own snorkeling gear, but if you don't have your own, you will have to use the rental equipment. Since it's something that goes in your mouth, I thought it was better to bring my own.

This is my third time participating. I'm not a strong swimmer, but with goggles and a life jacket, I won't sink. The guide is very attentive, so there's little chance of getting lost or getting into dangerous situations. There were families with small babies, but the guide was very helpful, even carrying them, ensuring everyone could enjoy safely. The weather was calm, and I was able to see sea turtles clearly, creating wonderful memories. You can return in your swimsuit, but it's better to bring a change of clothes as you might get cold. There is a small restroom, so I went up a bit early and changed inside while it was still empty. There were spam rice balls, snacks, juice, and warm drinks, allowing us to take breaks and enjoy without pressure. I would like to participate again next time. Thank you very much.
今回で3回目の参加です。泳ぎは得意ではありませんが、ゴーグルとライフジャケットがあるので、まず沈むことはありません。ガイドさんがしっかりとガードしてくれているので、はぐれたり危険なことに巻き込まれることはまずないです。小さな赤ちゃん連れのご家族もいましたが、ガイドさんが抱っこするなど協力的で全員が安全に楽しめるよう素晴らしい働きぶりでした。天候も穏やか、ウミガメもしっかり見ることができ素晴らしい思い出となりました。水着のままでも帰れますが、体が冷えるので替えは持参した方がいいです。狭いですがトイレが1つありますので、私は少し先に上がりすいているうちに中で着替えました。スパムのおにぎり、スナック菓子、ジュースに温かい飲み物もあり無理せず休憩を入れながら楽しむことができます。また次回も参加したいです。ありがとうございました。

Even though I was overseas, time seemed to move on as usual here. Before getting on the boat at Kaneohe Bay, we encountered a heavy rainstorm, and I thought the trip might be canceled. However, we went ahead despite the rain. My umbrella, which was meant to be a sunshade, ended up being used mainly as a rain umbrella. It was so cold that I felt the chill was more overwhelming than the rain season itself.
It was really fun to have the tour guide take pictures of us at the movie filming locations!

Everything from the transportation from our hotel with our driver/tour guide Kaplan, to our cruise and adventure with Captain Jason and his crew were fantastic! They were knowledgeable about the reef and sandbar, and were clearly passionate about its care. Snorkeling was great, and they took great care of those that couldn't swim well or needed extra help with the equipment. The activities on the sandbar were fun, and the ability to chill on the boat and enjoy the provided snacks & beverages was nice as well. In the way back to our hotel, Kaplan stopped to let us get Malasadas at Leonard's! Highly recommended... 10 out of 10!

What I LOVED:
- Available bins to store your items once on their boat [useful as a family member nearly dropped their phone overboard within seconds of sitting down]
- Included spam musubi and soft drinks
- PRESCRIPTION/Rx snorkeling gear [lifesaver as contacts are not an option while swimming and this is an amazing option that I never knew existed]
- Charismatic and protective crew [they keep the mood light and ensure you are well taken care of]
What I could change:
- Weather [though out of their control a lil extra sun wouldn't have hurt outside of a potentially bad sunburn]
Would I recommend this to others? Absolutely! I have already shared my positive experience with my extended family.

This was such a a fun time! The crew and musicians are what made it so good. They all exude the aloha spirit. The live music was such a a treat, they had really good rapport with our group and were so fun, and talented too. The crew was so wonderful and so nice.
The bay itself is a treasure, so so beautiful. The water is gorgeous, the mountains are stunning. They provide paddle boards, kayaks, snorkel gear, and volleyballs.
And the crew is very helpful with all of the gear and how to.use.it. I would recommend it!

The blue sea and blue sky. I was healed by the wonderful scenery. It was great to walk in the water and enjoy feeding the many fish. The live music on the boat was also fantastic. It became a very nice memory.
青い海、青い空。素晴らしい景色に癒されました。海の中を歩いて楽しんだり、沢山のお魚に餌を揚げて楽しんだりいろいろ遊べて良かったです。船の中での生演奏の歌も素晴らしかったです。とてもいい思い出になりました。
We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that it became a memorable time for you. Thank you very much for participating in the tour.

I used a private cruiser.
Captain Masaki was friendly, kind to the children, and very reliable.
I had checked the tide chart in advance, but since it was negative (I thought, maybe the sandbar would be out if we were lucky?), I didn't have high expectations. However, the sandbar appeared beautifully, and everyone was thrilled! It was cold, so I hesitated to get in the water at first, but the captain helped by saying, "I have wetsuits!" which was a great relief. We enjoyed paddleboarding and playing with water guns...
After playing for a while, we went snorkeling, and when the captain said, "Look, there are sea turtles down here," I looked where he pointed and saw a sea turtle. I was moved to see so many sea turtles. The children got to ride on a Zayak, which has a transparent bottom for observing underwater, and the captain pulled them along, so our whole family was able to observe the ocean and see the sea turtles, spending a wonderful time together.
It seems not only the adults but also the children had a great time, as they said, "I want to go to the heavenly sea again!"
Thank you for the wonderful time.
I also enjoyed chatting with driver Tim.
プライベートクルーザーを利用させて頂きました。
キャプテンのMASAKIさんも気さくで子供にも優しくて頼もしい方でした。
潮位表を事前に見ていましたが、マイナスになっていたから(運が良ければサンドバーが出てるかも?)とそれほど期待せずに行きましたが、しっかりとサンドバーが現れており、皆大喜び!
寒かったので初めは水に入るのを躊躇していたらキャプテンが「ウエットスーツあるよー」と貸してくれたからかなり助かりました。supしたり水鉄砲で遊んだり…
ひとしきり遊んだ後にシュノーケルをしましたが「ここ、ウミガメいるよー下ー」ってキャプテンの言う先を見るとウミガメがいて、たくさんのウミガメを見ることが出来て感動しました。
子供はZAYAKというソリの底面が透明になっていて水の中が観察できるものに乗せてもらってキャプテンがずっと引っ張ってくれたので、家族全員でそれぞれが海の中を観察してウミガメを見られて素晴らしい時間を過ごせました。
大人だけでなく、子供もすごく楽しかったみたいで「また天国の海に行きたーい!」と言っています。
素敵な時間をありがとうございました。
運転手ティムのおしゃべりも楽しかったです。
Thank you very much for using the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea tour and private charter! I will pass on your warm compliments to Captain Masaki and Driver Tim. We are very happy to hear that your whole family enjoyed the experience. Please come back to meet many sea turtles the next time you visit Hawaii. All of us, including Captain Masaki, look forward to seeing you again!!!
