West Oahu Dolphin Watch & Reef Snorkel Tour with Ocean Activities - Iruka Hawaii

Not covid safe

Reviewed by: Sheila

While the tour itself was great- we did see dolphins and turtles- this company has no regard for covid protocols. They pick you up and I asked prior to see if they enforced masks on the bus- as that is the law. They assured me they were. When we got picked up the driver wasn’t wearing a mask! When I asked him he basically ignored me. Half the passengers weren’t. My family double masked but with no windows open it was very unsafe. If you want a safe experience- I would not pick this company.

Amazing experiences swimming with dolphins!

Reviewed by: Rafat

Great crew - swam with a big pod of dolphins a couple of times. Totally worth it! Also, snacks, slide, snorkel and jumping off the top of the boat was fun!

Captain Bruce Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, SUP & Waikiki Transport

Beautiful Sandbar but waves dependent on weather

Reviewed by: Mitch

We went out on a cloudy morning accompanied by showers. The waves were choppy too. The sandbar was beautiful despite the weather, didn’t see any turtles on the sandbar but my daughter and husband who went with the snorkeling group saw turtles by the reef. The current was stronger there though but Kevin, the tour guide made sure everyone was safe. There was not enough paddle boards nor floaties for everyone on board and some groups hugged theirs till the end. We shared our paddle board with another couple. Trevor was okay but he tended to give attention to certain groups whereas Kevin was the one whom I have noticed that was attentive to everyone.

Definitely worth it

Reviewed by: Lindsey

We had a great time on the snorkel trip! The crew was very friendly and helpful and the setup (paddle birds, floaties, etc) was great. We were skeptical at first that we would see any turtles, but one came right up to the boat and swam around with us while we were swimming and then we saw several more on the snorkel trip around the reef. Highly recommend this activity!

The guidance to the sandbar and snorkeling points was accurate, and we were able to see many sea turtles up close. They taught each of us how to paddleboard very carefully, and even though it was our first experience, we had a lot of fun.

サンドバー　キャプテンブルース　天国の海®︎シュノーケリングクルーズ　SUPや浮き輪などレンタルアイテムも！＜午前・午後／日本語クルー＞

I would like to participate again. また参加してみたい

Reviewed by: Hiro

More than half of the participants were non-Japanese, and the guide's explanations were primarily in English. I had expected a more detailed Japanese-style tour, so I was a bit disappointed, but the staff were kind and attentive, which made it enjoyable in its own way. One of the staff members is Japanese, so they can assist in Japanese if needed.

At the sandbar, the water was up to about waist level. On the day of the tour, the wind and waves were strong, making it a bit challenging to float, but I was able to enjoy swimming and snorkeling. If there had been no wind, the water might have been clearer and more beautiful.

There were no sea turtles at the sandbar, but I was able to spot a few from the boat on the way there and back.

I would like to participate again and try it in calmer conditions next time.

参加者は半分以上が日本人以外で、ガイドの説明も基本はすべて英語でした。日本式のきめ細かいツアーを予想していたので、少し期待が外れましたが、スタッフは優しく丁寧に対応してくださりそれはそれで楽しめました。スタッフの一人が日本人なので必要ならば日本語で対応してもらえます。

サンドバーでは、腰の上あたりまで水がありました。当日は風と波が強く、浮かんでいると流されるので、少し大変でしたが、泳いだり、シュノーケリングをしたりと楽しめました。風がなければ、もっと水が澄んでいてきれいなのかもしれません。

ウミガメはサンドバーではいませんでしたが、行き帰りの船の上から数匹確認できました。

もう一度参加して、今度は風のない状況で試してみたいです。

Great Time at Kaneohe sandbar

Reviewed by: Jenny

I had a great time visiting the Kaneohe sandbar with the Captain Bruce crew. They were very welcoming and provided guidance and supervision during the trip to make sure everyone was safe. I was able to see many turtles and beautiful corals while also enjoying the paddle board provided by the crew. I highly recommend this trip for anyone looking to spend a great morning (or afternoon) to enjoy some of the best nature in Oahu.

Such a fantastic experience for someone whose never been snorkeling before. Great for beginners and family friendly! Rain comes and goes but the sandbar and the ocean was still warm and beautiful. I would like to thanks Trevor for helping me overcome my fear of the ocean overall. Lol. Without him I wouldn’t have gone beyond the sandbar. You rock!! I had the pleasure of seeing turtles, small colorful fishes, and of course the beautiful reef. Thank you Captain Bruce for such a great hospitality. I will definitely come back with a group of families in the near future!

A must do if you're visitting Oahu

Reviewed by: Kat

I've been to Oahu many times and had always wanted to go to the sandbar but didn't get the chance to until now.
I booked the morning tour on July 8th of this year, and boy it was a beautiful day. It was cloudy the day I arrived in Oahu so I was worried about the weather.
Captain Bruce had 2 boats full of tourists out that day. We didn't meet Captain Bruce. Instead we got Captain Robin and his assistant Irvin.
Both men were so nice and helpful. They let you go off on your own, but at the same time, kept an eye on you from a distance, to make sure you don't hurt yourself or get in trouble when you're out in the water.
There were lots of watersports to do, all provided free of charge. Chips and non-alcoholic beverages were also provided free of charge.
I had a wonderful time.
The views were stunning anywhere you look. I want to go back there again. I will pick them again. Their price is cheaper compared to the others, and the staffs are awesome friendly people.
It bothered me that many people left without tipping the crew. That was not cool.

Pink Sails Waikiki 2-Hour Turtle Canyon Snorkel Cruise with Light Snacks from Ala Wai Harbor

Not Much To See

Reviewed by: BeeKae

The worst snorkel tour I’ve ever been on as far as what a person was able to see under the water. My husband didn’t see a single fish. The kids and I saw two species. A black fish and a striped fish..literally two fish of each kind. Water is too cloudy to see much. I don’t believe there is really much to see even if the water were clear. No reef in sight. Way too many tourists from about 5 different boats all dropped off to snorkel at the same spot so people are constantly getting in each other’s way. I never saw a turtle except the one from the boat when we first pulled up. BEST part was the crew and the sail after the snorkel. The crew was wonderful. Brandon was super funny. Ryan and Mike both nice guys. They all work hard. Maybe it was just a poor day at sea for seeing much in the water, but I wouldn’t do it again. A sunset sail with them would be great since the sailing was the best part and the crew is awesome. But if you’re hoping to see a lot of fish and turtles while snorkeling, don’t expect it here. Wish I could get a refund.

Great way to end our trip!

Reviewed by: m Faulkner

We booked this somewhat last minute, trying to find a way to spend our final day on Oahu before our late evening flight - and we’re so glad we did! The crew was terrific - friendly, funny, and safety-conscious. The sandbar was a cool experience with clear water. The tour company provides plenty of floats and paddle boards to occupy everyone, and the snorkel portion of the visit was terrific! We saw plenty of turtles and fish, and it wasn’t terribly crowded. Definitely recommend!

Great Ride to the Sandbar

Reviewed by: MBTSANG

- Everything was great everyone had a good time.

- We enjoyed the options, it was more of a free time at the sand bar situation. If you don't want to snorkel, they leave you at the boat. But, you'll still have access to the SUP and floaties to play at the sand bar. I spent some extra time with the SUP and tossed a football around with some other guys. You can walk around the sandbar and take more pictures. Someone is always around to make sure everything is ok.

- wife went snorkeling, they kindly ask about your swimming abilities and if you're a weaker swimmer they'll keep an eye on you. I also noticed they proactively hover around families with kids incase they needed help.
Everyone felt safe and comfortable the entire time.

Reviewed by: Rodney

The boat and the ride was fun. The current in the water was a little strong so it was hard to go snorkeling. The kids really struggled and so did the majority of the adults. Most of the kids held on to a rope or to the boat itself. Would have been nicer in calmer waters. The cost was on the low end. So for the boat ride we enjoyed ourselves

Highly recommend this activity as it was easy check in at the dock. The ride to sandbar itself was a quick ride on the boat. Staff were very friendly and you are able to bring your own alcoholic drinks onto the sandbar. Enjoyed our time snorkeling and hanging out in the sandbar itself. Very unique experience!
