Our tour guide Dan was extremely helpful and supportive when my husband struggled with snorkeling. He and his partner helped him and even swam with him to help him feel comfortable.
I appreciated knowing that we were in good hands and they made sure we were all safe while having a great time! Very knowledgeable, personable and helpful Guide. We had an amazing time and Checked snorkeling off our bucket list. It was an easy and fun way to experience this as we were picked up and dropped off from our hotel and everything we needed was supplied.

KBOS was an amazing company to book with. We paid for the transportation, but if you plan to rent a car I would skip that part. It is a little tour bus and there are no bathrooms and no easy way to stop for restrooms. Just take your own car if you have one.
The experience itself was spectacular! The entire crew was super nice and went out of their way to make sure everyone had a good time.
The boat is huge- it is the largest boat at the end of the harbor area- you can’t miss it.
It has big tables with benches. Plenty of room for everyone. There are bathrooms on the boat and a room to change in. bring a towel with you if you think you might get cold. We went in bathing suits only and it was fine. A little chilly on the ride back in to shore, but not bad.
We paid for all the activities in advance and it was worth every penny. The banana boat ride was fun. I’m extremely overweight and I was still able to do the banana boat ride. They held the banana boat so I could easily get on and off.
The sandbar is beautiful! It is a must do experience and we loved it.
I would recommend water shoes, but some people didn’t have any and seemed to be fine.
The captain let us go up top and took a picture for us. Great view and perfect pic opportunity.
You can snorkel if you want- they have everything on the boat. We saw fish without snorkeling.
There is some music they play and it is really a nice way to spend some time. It is just the perfect amount of time to be out there too. Just enough time to do all the activities and enjoy the experience.
Bring snacks or drinks on the boat if you want. You can leave your bag and valuables right on the boat where you were seated. It seems super safe.
There is a little store at the harbor just before you get in the boat that sells alcohol and sunscreen and other items you may want.
The crew was super friendly and really tried to make it fun and make you feel welcome.
Bring tip money for the crew and for the band.

If you're considering this cruise I highly recommend you book it. The day we went out the weather wasn't the greatest however, the crew more than made up for that. They are fun, engaging and knowledgable. We had a blast the entire day. Lunch was really good and we had a very enjoyable time!

It was a great learning experience to enjoy nature while taking care of it. I was able to see a lot of fish, which was fantastic. I'm glad I joined the tour since general admission is reservation-based and can get crowded.

Had an amazing time with Captain Bruce on the Kaneohe sand bar cruise! From the get-go, Jeff, Josiah, and Karen were super kind and welcoming, making sure everyone on board felt at ease. They had snacks and drinks ready for us, which was a nice touch.
One of the highlights for me was definitely swimming with the turtles. It’s not every day you get to do that! And I’ve got to give a special shoutout to Karen. She was a real star, especially with my mom who's a bit uneasy in the water. Karen made sure she felt safe and enjoyed her snorkeling experience. Plus, the way she helped us retrieve my dad's forgotten sunglasses turned into a hilarious moment we all shared.
This trip is a must-do for families looking for a fun and memorable day out on the water. I’m already looking forward to my next trip with them. Absolutely a 10/10 recommendation!
Aloha Joseph, thank you so much for choosing Captain Bruce for your family trip, and for sharing this review! We appreciate your recognition of Jeff, Josiah, and Karen. Their attentiveness and welcoming demeanor are hallmarks of our exceptional crew, and we are grateful for their dedication to ensuring every guest feels comfortable and enjoys their time on the water. We'll be sure to pass on your kind words to everyone, especially Karen!
Again, thank you so much for recommending our tour.

My hubby and I took our 9 and 5 year old on this Sandbar trip. It was a short boat ride out & the kids never got motion sickness.
Tour guide was very thoughtful and had a bunch of water toys for everyone, we had canoes, SUP, volley ball and various water sports stuff to go around.
It took 3-3.5 hours which is just perfect and right when we got tired it was time to head back.
The band playing music was very good and this is a nod to the singer as he was clearly a talent and easy on the eyes
This trip was great!! Just enough tabs priced reasonably oh and bring your own snacks & booze!! That was cool they let us pack our own munchies!

I participated around mid-March.
First of all, I found it most inconvenient that there was no pick-up service from the hotel in the Waikiki area. Since we were a group of ten, it would have been nice if they could have come to pick us up. The pick-up location was sent via SMS around 6 PM the day before, but it was written in a way like “◯◯ave. bus stop” instead of providing a map or address, which made it a bit unclear.
After getting off the bus and transferring to the boat, there were only orange juice and donuts available on board. I had seen photos and thought there might be muffins too, but it was just donuts!
When we arrived at the beach and entered the water, the water level was up to the shoulders of adults, so if you had small children, it was concerning to think about bringing smartphones or anything like that into the water. To top it off, we had two hours of free time, but the water temperature in mid-March was too low, and both adults and children were too cold, so we got out after just 40 minutes.
I don't think I will do this again!
3月中旬頃参加しました。
まず、ワイキキ地区のホテル泊でしたがホテルまでの送迎では無かった事が一番不便に感じました。
10人で利用したので、ホテルまで迎えに来てくれても良さそうですが…。
送迎場所も前日の18時頃SMSで来て、しかも地図や住所ではなく“◯◯ave.bus stop”みたいな書き方だったので少し分かりづらかったです。
バスを降りて船に乗り換えて、船の中にはオレンジジュースとドーナツだけありました。
写真を見ていたのでマフィンもあるのかな?と思っていましたが、ドーナツオンリーでした!
船が着いて海に入った時は、大人でも肩くらいまで浸かるような水位で小さな子ども連れの場合万が一の事を考えるとスマホなどは持って入れる余裕はありませんでした。
また極め付けは、2時間の自由時間がありましたが3月中旬の海は水温が低すぎて子どもも含め大人も寒すぎて40分で上がってしまいました。
次はやらないと思います!
We are very sorry to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations. We included a link to a map in the email regarding the pickup location, but it seems the information may have been unclear, and we apologize for that. It also appears that it was a day with high tide. Since tide levels change daily, we have provided a link on our website where you can check this information. We hope that next time you will use that resource and join us on a day with the best tide conditions. Thank you for participating in the tour and for sharing your family's experience.

The tour starts before 6 AM and you can return to the hotel around 10 AM. The guide was very kind, and I was satisfied. They took care of every detail, making it easy for first-timers to participate with peace of mind. When I was about to be swept away by the tide, they quickly pulled me back. The snack we had after coming out of the water was spicy and delicious. They also took a lot of photos!
However, the price is a bit high for Japanese people, and the additional tip is a burden. Considering the weak yen and the cost of living in Hawaii, it can't be helped. Next time, I will visit when the yen is stronger!
早朝6時前からのツァーで10時ごろホテルに帰れます。ガイドの方とても親切で満足です。細かいところまでお世話いただき初めての方でも安心して参加できます。潮に流されそうになったらすぐに手を引いて引き戻していただきました。海から上がった時にいただいたスナックがスパイシーで美味しかった。写真もたくさん撮っていただきました♪

At first, it was cold, but I got used to it once I was in the sea.
I was glad to experience various activities like snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding.
I wanted to see a sea turtle, but unfortunately, I couldn't.
The staff were attentive, and they instructed us to return if we went too far, which made me feel safe while enjoying snorkeling.
There were only about four groups of Japanese people, but a few of them spoke broken Japanese, so we were able to communicate.

The weather was cool, cloudy, windy and even a little rainy. We still had a great time. The music was amazing! The food was good, and served shortly after we left the dock. The boat provided protection from the elements. The crew was fun and friendly. When we arrived on the sandbar we were able to kayak, and paddle board. There was a large area of buoys they asked us to stay within. They had lifeguards in the water with us. They had us wait to snorkel and recommended a very specific spot to snorkel. I was confused at first, but they knew what they were doing. The sun came out, the tide came up a bit, the variety of fish was amazing. As soon I would drift out of the recommended area the coral and fish were less plentiful. Our group of 8 had a great time, and if the weather had been nice 5 wouldn't be enough stars. The music alone was work the price. Don't hesitate to book this trip.

We participated as a family. There were no Japanese people, and everything was in English. I stumbled a bit there. They were asking various questions to the customers, like "Has anyone done snorkeling before?" but I couldn't quite understand. In the end, another customer helped me with putting on the wetsuit (in English). Still, there were many Japanese families. When we got off the boat into the sea, there was a boy who panicked because he couldn't touch the bottom (of course, he was wearing a life jacket). The crew was throwing floatation devices from the boat and telling him to use them, but it didn't get through. When I asked in Japanese, "Do you want to use it?" he nodded and seemed to calm down. I think it's fine if you have no problem with everything being in English, but sometimes there are troubles...
Then there was seasickness! A few people were really groggy... some were lying down clutching bags, and a group of girls who were so excited at first looked completely exhausted. It was sad to see. My child is also prone to motion sickness, so I gave them anti-nausea candy twice, once before leaving Waikiki and once when boarding the boat, which helped. Anti-nausea measures are essential! Also, bring a towel. It gets cold when you come out of the sea! The wind was strong (while the boat was moving), and the wet body lost heat.
Finally, the kids were thrilled to get tattoo stickers, saying it felt "local"!
I saw a comment saying "no cash needed," so I didn't bring any, but I wish I had. It's a shame I couldn't give a tip to Tittha, who took great care of us. Thank you, Tittha!!
親子で参加。
日本人はおらず、全て英語で。
そこでちょっとつまずきました。
「スノーケリングやったことある人?」とか、色々お客さんに聞いてるんですが、
イマイチ理解出来ない。
ウェットスーツの着方も、結局他のお客さん(英語で)が手伝ってくれました。
それでも日本人のご家族も多くて。
ボートから海へ降りた時、足がつかないことにパニックになっている男の子がいたんですが(もちろんライフベストは着用していました)
ボートからクルーが浮き具を投げて何度も使ってと言っていたんですが、通じず。
私が日本語で「使う?」と声かけたら頷いて落ち着くことが出来たようです。
全て英語でも問題なければ、良いと思いますが、
時々トラブルが…。
あとは船酔い!
何人か…それはそれはもうグロッキーになって…袋を握りしめて横になっていたり、最初はあんなにはしゃいでたのにという女の子組もグッタリしていたり…。
見てて可哀想でした。
我が子も酔いやすいので、ワイキキ出発時と、船乗船時の2回、酔い止めキャンディを服用させて、難なきを得ました。
酔い止め対策必須ですね!
あとはタオル。海から上がると寒いです!
風も強いので(ボートで走ってる最中は)、濡れた体が体温を奪いました。
最後にタトゥーシールを貼って貰えたのが子供は「ロコっぽい」と大喜び!
どなたかのコメントで「現金はいらない」と書かれてあったので持って行かなかったのですが、
持って行けば良かったです。
私達親子のお世話をよくしてくれたTitthaにチップを渡せなかったのが残念です。

I had such an amazing time. Not only was the sandbar and the bay gorgeous, the crew were so incredibly kind, friendly and helpful!

It was a tour that successfully crossed Hanauma Bay while navigating around the reef during low tide in the morning. Unfortunately, the turtles couldn't come into view because the tide was too low. Instead, we were able to see many fish. We started after listening to Dan's easy-to-understand explanations. There was appropriate support for the children, and I was able to enjoy snorkeling while taking in the scenery.
午前中に最干潮が重なっていてリーフを迂回しながらうまくハナウマ湾を横断しながらのツアーでした。残念ながらカメは潮が低すぎるので、見える場所には入ってこれないそう。かわりに沢山の魚を見ることが出来ました。ダンさんの分かりやすい説明を聞いてからスタート。子供たちには適宜サポートがあり、自分も景色を楽しみながらのスノーケルができました。

I was able to see not only dolphins and sea turtles but also whales up close, which was a valuable experience. The crew members were all very friendly, and I truly had a great time.
When the sun was blocked by clouds, it felt quite chilly, so I think it's a good idea to prepare a light jacket. Also, since the boat swayed quite a bit, I recommend being well-prepared with motion sickness remedies to enjoy the experience fully.
イルカやウミガメの他に、クジラも生で見ることが出来て、貴重な経験が出来ました。
クルーの方々も気さくな方ばかりで、本当に楽しく過ごすことが出来ました。
雲で陽が遮られると結構肌寒く感じたので、羽織物を準備しておいたほうがいいと思います。
また船の揺れが結構大きいので酔い止め対策はしっかりと準備したほうが楽しめると思います。
