Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkel & BBQ Lunch with Free Transportation

Wow!!!

Reviewed by: Bailey , 2024/05/16

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!!!!!

Kaneohe Bay Sandbar Ocean Sports Adventure with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Music

An experience of a lifetime!

Reviewed by: DC, 2024/05/13

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.

Kaneohe Bay Sandbar Ocean Sports Adventure with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Music

Boat and crew were great, but CHECK THE TIDE before you book!

Reviewed by: djslider, 2024/05/12

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

If I could afford to come back to Hawai’i I would definitely rebook this experience ! 10/10

Reviewed by: Jaelyn B, 2024/05/11

Great experience! The crew were amazing and super helpful pointing out the spots were the turtles were. It is a smaller boat which creates a more personal atmosphere, but we still had a lot of room onboard plus we got to sit on the net. Again, big mahalo to the crew! We got to surf a few waves on the boat lol. 10/10 highly recommend.

Kaneohe Bay Sandbar Ocean Sports Adventure with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Music

Must do excursion when in Hawaii

Reviewed by: Lily S., 2024/05/09

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.

ウミガメシュノーケリング 設備も充実のモアナ号でゆったり!グループに最適な貸切プランあり<英語スタッフ/ケワロ湾発>

書き込み通り

Reviewed by: Izu, 2024/05/08

他の方の書き込み通り、集合時間より10分以上遅れて船の方が出てきてチェックインの開始でした。
そして英語圏ではない人が居ても、ゆっくり話すなど気を使うこともなく、全て英語での説明でした。

海亀は会えましたが、その日はあまり居なかったのか海面に上がってくる子に2、3回会えた感じでした。

サンドバー シュノーケリングクルーズ バナナボートやバンパーチューブプランあり! 海に浮かぶラウンジ&船上ライブミュージック<午前・午後/日本語クルー>

船外のアクティビティに疲れたら、船上の生演奏で寛げる

Reviewed by: okidoki76, 2024/05/08

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。

  • 大きなツアーバスで送迎(有料)。

  • 風が弱ければもっと上手にできたかも?

  • 船内は広くて賑やかな雰囲気。

Waikiki Snorkel with Turtles Cruise with Beers & Cocktails - Ke Kai Catamaran

Not worth it

Reviewed by: Neil, 2024/05/07

Very limited instruction was given into how to use the mask and snorkel. Mine was all twisted up and none of the staff provided any assistance.

The reef area is choppy and murky making it very difficult to see. There were 4 other boats there so the area was quite crowded. We saw 1 turtle and a few fish. Pretty disappointing.

If you are looking for a magical reef experience then I suggest go somewhere else like the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.

Back on the boat we were offered 1 drink only even though the tour says 3 alcoholic drinks are provided.

Wouldn't recommend.

生演奏付きの船で15分、遠浅のエリアで2時間遊びました。
キャプテンやその他のスタッフがみんな陽気で楽しく、生演奏も雰囲気が良かったです。
お天気が曇りだったのですが、水も冷たくなくたっぷりアクティビティを楽しめました。
自力で行くのは難しそうだったので、ホテルまでの送迎をオプションで付けました。

Reviewed by: リクマ, 2024/05/06

ネット予約でチケットとっているのではなく当日チケットに並ぶとは思っていませんでした。が予定通りに行けたのでほぼ満足です。
時間的には6歳9歳の子供がいたので11時ピックアップでちょうどよかったと思います。担当の方も車中ずーと色々と説明、案内してくださっていました。他の日本人は翻訳アプリで聞いていましたが、翻訳アプリ使用しなかったので所々しかわからず。アプリを入れておけば良かったと思いました。子供たちにはとても楽しい時間になり印象に残ったようです。またお魚見に行きたいと行っています。

子供が小さいうちは微妙

Reviewed by: kenny, 2024/05/05

・家族4人で参加。大人2、子供2(9歳,6歳)。
・日常会話程度の英語力はあった方がいい。
・往復同じドライバーさんだった。チップは復路の降車後に渡した。
・少し天気が悪かったせいか、浜に上がると少し寒かった。子供は震えていた。
・浜から数メートルの浅瀬にしては多くの魚が見れたが、感動はなかった。

Don’t hesitate, book it!!

Reviewed by: Jamyprim, 2024/05/05

I don’t usually leave reviews unless it’s a really terrible experience OR an AWESOME ONE! Let me just start by saying my group & I did this on Thursday and we booked to go back on Saturday!!! That’s how amazing the crew and the experience was! Worth every penny.
We had an 8 yr old and she was able to enjoy the water too it’s deff kid friendly.
You can take your cooler with beer, drinks and snacks. The water is crystal clear and only like 3-4 ft tall. Take cash to tip the crew and live band, they’re ALL so awesome!!

ウミガメシュノーケリング ホロカイ・カタマラン号 ワイキキ集合なのでアクセス便利!<アルコール・ドリンク購入可/英語スタッフ/ワイキキ発>

皆さんにお勧めしたいです。

Reviewed by: 匿名希望, 2024/05/05

私たち以外全て外国人のお客様なので、海外にいることを感じられ、とても楽しめるツアーです。当日、今日は最高の一日になる、との説明があり、期待して行くと、カメが海底でくっついて5~6匹寝ており、こんな光景は初めてでした。勿論、泳いでいるカメも何匹もいて、シュノーケル最中はカメだらけでした。こんなにもワイキキにカメがいるとは驚きでした。
シュノーケル後は、海外の有名な曲を聴きながら、ワイキキのホテルやダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めながらのクルージング。帆を上げてスピードアップをしながら、心地よい風と共にゆっくり過ごしました。
チップを忘れないで持っていって下さい。

Reviewed by: みゆ, 2024/04/28

インストラクターのお二人とも親しみやすくて、すぐに打ち解けられました。海に入る前に観る映像の内容を事前に日本語で要約してくださって、またハナウマ湾の自然を心から愛していることが伝わってきました。受付や交通整理の人にも顔がきくようで、安心感もありました。
これまでハナウマ湾には2回アクティビティではなく個人で来たことがありましたが、初めての方はこちらのアクティビティを利用された方がいいと思いますし、2回目以降の方も楽しめると思います。

Captain Bruce Kaneohe Sandbar Cruise with SUP, Guided Snorkel & Transportation

Great time, great crew!

Reviewed by: Chris A, 2024/04/27

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!

悪くは無かったです。但し、ツアーの最後にコンダクターへのチップを請求されるのは、如何なものかと思います。それなら、最初からチップ代金込みで代金を組成した方が、チップ習慣が無い日本人としては納得できると思います。

Comments from activity operators

ツアーにご参加及びレビューのご記入ありがとうございます。
ご意見のチップですが、チップはツアーにご参加頂いたお客様から、スタッフへのサービスに対してのお心づけとなりますので、ツアーご参加前にツアー代金に加算すことはできません。ツアー最後に楽しんで頂けたようでしたらお客様に金額を決めて頂きスタッフに渡して頂くのがチップとなります。日本にはない習慣になりますが、弊社はアメリカの会社になりますので、アメリカの習慣をご理解頂けたら幸いです。ご意見ありがとうございました。
