I've been to Oahu many times. I brought my fiance this time since he's never been. I wanted him to try out snorkeling and see things other than fish, so the turtle tour was a perfect fit. Honestly the crew did a great job. Even the people we had on the boat with us doing the tour was a wonderful group. The only few downsides were: it rained. And I mean it poured! Not for very long and I'm sure the people in the water didn't notice it much, but I was sitting on the boat at the time and I was trying to cover our backpack and towels, since we would need them to dry off later, and it was coming down like pellets. But it didn't last more than 10-15 min and was more or less over. But the sky stayed dark making it hard to see through the already dark water. The turtles became less visible and it made our whole group decide to get out of the water and come back onto the boat to head back in. We were out there for a good amount of time but not the full time. The other problem we had was it got very crowded in the water looking at the turtles. 4 other boats full of passengers were doing other turtle tours as well. There was just a lot of people bumping into each other. I tried to stay away from most people and still saw a ton of turtles, but my fiance on the other hand had a harder time. It was also scary when I'd look up and not see him through all these other people. The last problem was that there were a few people who didn't know how to swim or snorkel. So it took a long time to explain how to use the snorkel equipment and pass out floaties. The positives were the boat was smooth sailing. Everyone was on time and nice. The turtles were wonderful. Hard to see them when they get super deep but they were big and beautiful and did not disappoint. Lots of fish to see too. The couple who run the boat are wonderful and so are there family who came and helped out as well. For the price I would definitely recommend this and probably do it again when we go back!

We made a reservation with my husband for our honeymoon.
Having a guide who spoke Japanese made it easy for us to relax and enjoy ourselves.
We were able to fulfill our long-held dream of paddleboarding and even encountered sea turtles, which made for a very fulfilling time.
The weather was great, and I was in the water in a bikini, but being in the water for too long can really sap your body heat, so I recommend participating in a long-sleeve swimsuit!
We had about 30 minutes of free time left, but it was too cold, so we spent it drinking hot coffee.
If you want to enjoy yourself to the fullest, please take this into consideration!

We participated as a couple. Half of the other participants were Japanese, and the rest were from China and South Korea. It was reassuring for my wife that announcements were made in Japanese after English. The tour was managed by the captain, a young man in charge on-site, and three other young staff members. The boat was made up of two vessels in blue and green, and we alternated between snorkeling and free time at the sandbar. The itinerary included pickup in Honolulu, boarding at the Kaneohe harbor, viewing heart-shaped coral, arriving at the sandbar, playing with SAP and floaties, and then moving to deeper waters while snorkeling to look for turtles. At the sandbar during my visit in mid-September, the water was about waist-deep, which was a bit different from what I expected, but we had fun. Even in mid-September, when we got out of the water and the sun went down, the women seemed a bit cold. I felt it would have been nice to have a pile hoodie in addition to a bath towel. No one was wearing wetsuits; we were moving as a group while looking for sea turtles while snorkeling, but on that day, we didn't encounter many turtles. I observed a turtle resting among the corals while swimming, and when I patiently searched alone, I was fortunate to see a turtle swim out from the corals to breathe. Although I was close to the surface, I was satisfied to swim alongside it. It might be better not to move in such a large group. Other than the turtles, we didn't see many brightly colored tropical fish. I wondered if the shuttle bus driver was affiliated with the food truck or perhaps related to the family, as we stopped by a malasada food truck on the way back and everyone bought the recommended malasadas, which were delicious. The shuttle car was cold due to the air conditioning, so it was fine on the way there before entering the water, but it might be good to have a change of dry clothes for the return trip. Alternatively, you could let the driver know you were cold. I took photos and videos with my iPhone in a waterproof case, but the compatibility wasn't great, as the case and strap reflected in the camera lens, and I couldn't use the touch screen underwater, which made handling difficult. I felt a GoPro would be better. It seemed there was no service for taking photos (and selling SD cards), so it would have been better to prepare a way to easily record the experience without compromising it. Overall, I had a great time and was satisfied. The boat ride wasn't too long, and it didn't sway enough to make me feel seasick. We had fun at the sandbar and got to swim with sea turtles, achieving what we wanted to do. It would have been perfect if there had been a jacuzzi on the boat for when it got cold. The level of service was high, and we had a pleasant experience. Thank you for everything!
夫婦2人で参加しました。他の皆さんは日本の方が半数、あとは中国や韓国の方々が参加されてました。英語の後に日本語でもアナウンスしてくれて妻も安心でした。ツアーはキャプテンと、現場を仕切る兄ちゃんと、あと若手の3名で船を仕切ってました。船は青と緑の2台構成で、船ごとに交代でシュノーケリングとサンドバーでの自由時間を過ごします。工程としては、ホノルルでピックアップ→カネオヘの港から乗船→ハートシェイプのサンゴを見て→サンドバー到着→SAPや浮き輪で遊んで→そのまま流れでシュノーケリングしながら深みに移動してカメを探す流れでした。サンドバーは私の参加したタイミングだと腰上くらいの水深で、砂州が島になってたりするのかなと思ってたのとはちょっと違いましたがまぁ楽しく遊べました。参加した9月中旬でも、海から上がって陽がかげると女性陣は少し寒そうでした。バスタオルの他にパイルのパーカーでもあると良かったなと感じました。ウェットスーツは着てる人居ませんでした、シュノーケリングしながら団体さんでウミガメ探しながら移動してましたがこの日はなかなかカメに出会えず、サンゴの間でじっとしてるウミガメを泳ぎながら観察する感じでしたが、一人で辛抱強く探してるとウミガメがサンゴの間から出て泳いで息継ぎに行くところに遭遇出来ました。こっちは水面張りつきではありますが、一緒に泳げたので満足です。あまり大所帯で移動しない方が良いのかな。後は、ウミガメ以外はあまり南国っぽい派手なお魚には出会えませんでした。送迎のバスのおっちゃんが提携してるのか惚れ込んでるのか、はたまた家族だったりするんじゃないかと思ったりもしましたが帰りにマラサダのフードトラックに立ち寄ってみんなでオススメのマラサダを買って、食べながら帰りました。おいしかったですよ。送迎の車はエアコンで寒いので、行きは海に入る前だから良いけど、濡らさない帰りの服の着替えはあった方が良いかも。もしくは運転手のおっちゃんに寒いアピールを。私はiPhoneを防水ケースに入れて写真や動画を撮ってましたが、ケースとの相性がイマイチでカメラレンズにケースやストラップが映り込んだり、水中では静電タッチが使えないとかハンドリングが悪いので、GoProの方がベターだなと感じました。写真撮ってくれる(そしてSDカードを買い取らせる)サービスはやってなかったみたいなので、体験を損なわなずに手軽に記録できる準備はした方が良かったです。総じて楽しく過ごせて満足です。船の移動もそんなに長くなく酔うほど揺れなかったし、サンドバーで楽しく遊べたし、ウミガメとも泳げて、やりたい事は出来ました。後は寒くなった時のために船にジャグジーでも付いてると完璧だったかもですね。サービスのレベルも高く気持ちよく過ごせました。お世話になりました!

My first time in Hawaii and my first sandbar experience. Seeing it in person is even better than in photos. The activities include snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), and there's plenty to do.
During snorkeling, I saw beautiful fish among the coral, and even a sea turtle resting in the coral or surfacing for air. The sandbar is neither too deep nor too shallow, making it a safe place for first-time SUP experiences. This time, I challenged myself to stand up on the paddleboard for the first time. You can enjoy it at your own pace and lose track of time.
The boat is equipped with drinks, snacks, and fruits, and there’s a restroom on board, which is reassuring. There are also staff members who speak Japanese, which is a great support. They call out with a smile, “If you didn’t understand the English explanation, raise your hand!” So don’t be shy and just raise your hand.
If you have your own snorkel, I recommend bringing it. The rental snorkels are standard versions without drainage valves, so using something you’re familiar with might feel more comfortable.

We heard we had to try snorkeling on our first trip to Hawaii but neither of us are super-confident swimmers, especially not in the ocean. If that sounds like you, START HERE. This snorkeling experience ended up being just right for two reasons 1) excellent instructor, Zola and 2) excellent location, Magic Island Lagoon. I was excited to try snorkeling, but when it came time to put the mask on, stick my face in the water, and breathe - I couldn't do it. After patient and friendly coaching from Zola, I was finally floating around and breathing under water. I owe it to Zola that I felt ready to sign up for another, more challenging, snorkeling tour later in the week where I got to see more fish and turtles. The location is this peaceful, blue and beautiful lagoon that's protected from the ocean's strongest waves by a barrier. The water is clear and just lovely to swim in. I would go back just to enjoy the beach.

I think it's better to choose a tour that is as close to low tide as possible when making a reservation. The depth of the sandbar is about waist-deep, and the beautiful shallow waters seen in the promotional photos continue for a long stretch. While we can't choose the weather, I believe that without strong sunlight, the contrast in photos won't be as striking. It was cloudy in the morning for us, but as we headed out to sea, the clouds cleared, and the sun came out, giving us the best experience. Of course, we also enjoyed snorkeling with sea turtles. I brought my prescription underwater goggles and wore a life jacket, allowing me to swim in the shallow waters of about 2 to 3 meters and see the sea turtles. It truly became a wonderful memory for our family of four. Thank you very much.
予約時になるべく干潮の時間帯に近いツアーを選択したほうが良いと思います。サンドバーの深さが腰程度となり広告写真で見られる美しい浅瀬がずーっと続きます。また天候は選べませんが太陽光線がしっかりないと写真のようなコントラストにならないと思います。私たちは朝曇っていたのですが沖に出ていくタイミングで雲が無くなり太陽が顔を出し最高の経験をさせてもらいました。もちろんシュノーケリングでウミガメも堪能しました。私は水泳用の度付きの水中眼鏡を持参しライフジャケット着用で水深2,3mの浅瀬を泳ぎながらウミガメを見ることが出来ました。本当に家族4人で良い思い出となりました。ありがとうございました。

The experience was brilliant from start to finish. When we first arrived, we were worried there was no clear booth for arrival, but THEN like Maui himself on the ocean, the catamaran came out of the waves and docked right on the beach! The friendly crew checked us in, told us to grab some snacks if we wanted and then got us onboard.
They said if we wanted a fun, but wet, ride, we should sit on the net at the front. We did, and got SOAKED by waves and it was so fun!
We got to turtle canyon and were given high quality snorkels and instructions. There were other groups there, only one of them were slightly annoying but there’s plenty of turtles to go around!
We saw more than 15 turtles, ranging from babies to grown ups. They got so close but don’t forget- don’t be a turtle toucher!!! They were so visible and it was a once in a lifetime experience. We are still in Waikiki and honestly considering doing it again!
Do not book ANY other turtle snorkel experience in Waikiki other than this one!!!
5 stars and a huge tip

I checked the tide times, but the best times were late at night or early in the morning, which didn't match the tour schedule, so I was worried about how much I would enjoy it. However, I was able to see sea turtles and many fish, which made me very satisfied. The spam sushi we had on the boat was surprisingly delicious. The sea was beautiful, and I'm really glad I participated.
満ち引きの時間帯を見たけど、ベストな時間帯が夜中や朝方でツアーの時間帯に合わず、参加してどれくらい楽しめるか心配でしたが、海亀は見れたくさんの魚も見れて満足です。船で食べたスパム握りがことの他美味しかったです。海が綺麗で、ほんとに参加して良かったです。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed encounters with sea turtles and the snorkeling experience. We're also glad that you liked the spam onigiri for breakfast. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you again on your next visit.

I have participated in sandbar tours several times before, but this tour was the most enjoyable so far because, in addition to snorkeling, there were various activities available such as stand-up paddleboarding, balls, and large floaties, which kept things fun and engaging. The staff were also bright and accommodating, making an effort to entertain us. However, one point to note is that all the explanations were in English only, so if the key points could have been communicated in Japanese as well, it would have made those who are not proficient in English feel more at ease.
今までサンドバーツアーには何回か参加したことがありますが、今回のツアーはシュノーケリング以外にも、サップボードやボール、大きな浮き輪等色々な遊び遠具が用意されていて、飽きずに楽しめ、今までで一番楽しかったです。
スタッフの方々も楽しませてくれようと明るく対応してくれました。
ただ一点、説明が全て英語のみでしたので、ポイントだけでも日本語で伝えていただけたら、英語が得意でない人も、より安心できたと思いました。

We had a wonderful experience. The staff on our boat was very welcoming and friendly. My niece said the staff of Capt Allen were very attentive as well when they were in the water. Kudos/ mahalo to Capt Ruben for assisting us to snorkel especially since we (me n my sis in law) don't know how to swim. Our driver was energetic and friendly. He even stopped at Leonards bakery for us and made awesome food recommendations on the way. We had an overall great experience! We look forward to coming again.
We are so happy to know that you had a good experience with us.
We appreciated your words and shared your review with our staff!
Thank you so much for joining our tour, hope we can see you at the Kane'ohe Bay again.

We booked this fairly last minute since both my wife and I are not swimmers but we saw great reviews even for beginners and they were right!
We had an amazing time and saw a lot of turtles and fish, Casey was nothing short of amazing!! He was guiding us and helped ease my wife's fear of the water so that she could enjoy snorkeling a bit, really appreciated the help and hospitality!
Thank you again captain Bruce for the wonderful experience!
