Our experience with Captain Robin, Kay, and Sydney was absolutely amazing! Captain Bruce Kaneohe Sandbar Cruise is a must! My husband and I loved everything about the experience…friendly, knowledgeable, hands on staff who truly gave each of the participants support and care. This was my first time to snorkel and Captain Robin stayed by my side until I was ready to snorkel without any assistance. There was time to paddle-board and float. It was a wonderful experience and exceeded our expectations.

The crew were THE BEST! They were all so lively, energetic, sweet, caring and considerate. One even individually assisted my Mom snorkeling and guided her til the end. I love this tour and will definitely be back 100%. Thank you guys for a wonderful time.
Thank you so much for joining our tour, and for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review of our crew!
We are so happy to hear that you and your family had a wonderful ocean excursion. To hear from our guest that they will definitely be back means a lot to us.
We would love to have you back on our tour again soon!
Thank you again for your kind words. A hui hou

My boyfriend and I had an excellent time on this excursion! The crew truly made this an unforgettable experience as they were incredibly polite, kind and patient with all the guests. We previously had a rough go at snorkeling on a trip to Mexico which prompted the crew to take special care with us as we entered the water and familiarized ourselves with snorkeling in open ocean. They were encouraging and supportive; we would 100% recommend and would love to come back again. They gave an excellent overview of how to use the equipment and enter the water safely. We got to swim alongside a TON of fish and got to see 2 turtles while in the water. The service on the boat was great and the lunch tasted great; really hit the spot after swimming for a while. Thank you!!

The scooters were everything we hoped they would be, we saw tons of fish and the support team was absolutely incredible in ensuring we had FUN. One of the guys found an octopus to bring over for photos and to interact with. We were in the 2nd scooter group, so I got to hop in for snorkeling both before and after my scooter ride. I saw a turtle while snorkeling and it was neat to watch some of the scooters cruising around. Highly recommend adding this experience to your must do list while on Oahu. You won't be disappointed.

My cousin and I booked this snorkeling tour as it was her first time and she didn't feel comfortable being out in super deep in the water or in a very open area. The lagoon where this snorkel tour is hosted is great as it has rock barrier walls all around to protect it from large waves. Our tour guide, Micki was so knowledgeable and was able to tell us so much about the fish and coral that we could see. This is a great tour for beginners or families with younger children who want to try out snorkeling! Would highly recommend it!

I booked this activity by myself for my birthday. All I wanted was to see a turtle and it definitely did not disappoint! The crew were amazing and were very helpful when we were snorkeling. The food was good and the experience was amazing. I’ll definitely book again next time I’m on the island! Thank you to the crew for making it the best experience.

This is just what I needed. I'm not a great swimmer nor very confident in open water, and this was an excellent way to learn to snorkel. I HIGHLY recommend it! Our guide was Ashton. He was awesome! And the pictures were cool.

It was good well explained with saftey and what the plan was. The experience was o.k however there wasn't alot of sea life to see like turtles or alot of fish. The time wasn't as long as it is mentioned in the advertisement. It's great that they offer pics and vids I just wish there would of been more than just 6.

新婚旅行で参加しました!
日本人は私たちだけでしたが、日本人のスタッフの方がおり全て日本語で案内して頂きました
旦那がシュノーケリング初めてでしたが、丁寧に説明していただき、楽しんでいました♪
船の上ではみんな自由に過ごしていて、ソフトドリンクも自由に飲め、お昼ご飯もとてもおいしかったです!
イルカと亀にも会えて大満足のツアーでした!
またぜひ参加したいと思います♪

The team at Captain Bruce were very nice and accommodating and made it an overall really nice experience. This sandbar cruise was me and my boyfriend's favorite activity that we did during our visit. I liked that there was an option for transportation, so that made it easy to get to and from the destination without having to worry about directions and parking. Our driver was friendly as well and pointed out different local sights in different languages so that everyone could understand as well. There were many different groups of people and the crew made it comfortable for everybody to feel included. They provided drinks and snacks, and on the boat ride to the sandbar they gave some educational facts about the area and we saw turtles and other wildlife as well. When we got the the sandbar, there were plenty of paddleboards and floaties for us to use and we had more than enough time to enjoy the water. We got lots of pictures, had fun in the water and the views were great. I could tell that the others also had a fun time snorkeling too. On the way back, our driver even stopped for us to get some dessert as well. This would be an enjoyable experience for anybody, and I would definitely recommend it to my friends and family as well.
Thank you so much for this amazing review. We look forward to seeing you again in the near future. Aloha...!

The staffs are very nice and professional. I booked the snorkeling + transportation package.
The driver Kaplan is so nice, he will introduce many hidden gem restaurants in Honolulu, and I tried the Yakitori restaurant right away after I finished the tour, the food is so good! Thanks to Kaplan.
For snorkeling, the staff will guide you when you are snorkeling all the time, for them safety is the priority. Also, they will provide some rice balls, energy bars, snacks, hot coffee, and fruits in the boat. You can always go by boat when you are tired.
Strongly recommendended!
Thank you so much for your kind words and sharing your experience with the Capt. Bruce tour. We look forward to seeing you again in the near future. Aloha...!

The team was super patient from the start. They gave us a check in call since we got a bit lost after parking. If you see lifeguard stand 1E, head left out towards the water, not down the beach. The instructor was really engaged and patient, tailoring the lesson to our comfort level.

The trip was so much fun! The crew was amazing and there were so many things to do. I wasn’t going to snorkel but Captain Robin encouraged me, personally took me out to make sure I felt safe and comfortable and showed me multiple turtles! It was the most amazing experience! Thank you for an amazing time!

Wow! To start. They picked us up at our hotel to start. Then drive us to Kaneohe sandbar. Next a beautiful short boat ride to two barges loaded with sea toys. Beautiful shallow sandy beaches that are user friendly for small children to seniors. The reef snorkeling is easy, very well guided and watched in smaller groups. We swam with turtles. Captain Danny went out of his way to share local marine knowledge and make sure all got to see turtles. This was our second time- we also sent our daughter and grandchild. They immediately fell in love with the tour and friendly crew. They are like family to us now. We will always come and swim with the turtles only with Captain Bruce's Team.
We have tried others and this family prefers and highly recommends Captain Bruce's based on experience. I am a former diver for the Seattle Aquarium, researcher for Washington State Department of Fisheries, Rescue Diver, Assistant Dive Instructor Advanced Open Water and lastly Alaska Department of Fish and Game. Simply said "Captain Bruce's does it right". I send my grandkids there Thank you Captain Bruce's! We love you!!! My only request is that you start another tour a bit more advanced for experienced snorkelers.
Then sign up this family
Aloha and thank you so much for taking the time to write this wonderful review and the compliments of yours.
We're very pleased to hear the whole family is having such a great time at the sandbar.
Your kind words are greatly appreciated and Mahalo for sharing your best experience with the Capt. Bruce tour. We look forward to seeing you again in the near future.

They provided snacks and coffee. The water was beautiful and we saw lots of turtles. I would highly recommend this tour you will love it.

The included transportation was excellent. On time and our driver gave us commentary on the scenic drive to the harbor. On the way back he stopped at
Leonard's Barkery and let us get donuts!
The snorkeling at the bay was excellent, we saw lots of fish and saw 3 turtles.
Afterward we had about an hour at the bay to use paddleboards and floaties.
I wish they had kayaks like some of the other companies.
Snacks included granola bars, apples, chips, and musubi.
A little pricey but enjoyable morning.
On behalf of Capt. Bruce, we thank you so much for your support!
Your feedback is greatly appreciated and we look forward to seeing you in the near future.
Mahalo and Aloha!
