SO THANKFUL for this trip. We are a family of four, kids are 6 & 3. I knew that snorkeling would be a stretch for my kids. This sandbar tour was the best option for us and worked out in all aspects. We did the afternoon snorkeling option with pick up from Waikiki. Shuttle was on time and driver was so friendly. Our crew onboard was Casey, Ryan and Izumi. We also had some help on shore from Karen (I think). Our tour crew was so kind and fun. Most of our tour was Japanese. Having Izumi on board for their language needs was not only fun for us to listen to as well, but also demonstrated the care the crew gave to us. Once out to the sandbar, one kid was so scared to go into the ocean. Casey was kind to encourage and reassure along with me. They had so many paddleboards, floating mats, life jackets, squirt guns and other things. Just being on the sandbar was fun! We even had two turtles swim through our group during that time. It was exciting to see them and to make sure no one touched them with them being so close!
When we got to the snorkeling section, my older kid was suddenly so nervous. I was grateful for the option to have the window float boards for her to be on top of while I snorkeled and took her around. Casey was also encouraging to her, reminding her that we're all together and what she would see. He was helpful for us as parents knowing we were balancing two kids with different needs and fears.
But we did it!! We saw so many fish and so many turtles. I was emotional out there knowing it was something we would talk about for years to come.
The snacks and warm drinks on board when we got on and especially after our water time was SO appreciated and made for happy kids.

Thank you for this family friendly option and we are so glad to have picked this as our ocean experience.

Speed Boat experience was top notch. Our Captain was dedicated to providing a unique tour including snorkel, paddle board, and snack. Captain Brit attention to all details were greatly appreciated.

The nicest crew and the best vibes ! Thank you!

Can't recommend enough! Amazing crew, unforgettable fun and beautiful scenery!

This is one of my favorite Snorkeling trips. The crew was organized and very helpful, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone was safe and had fun. The water was beautiful. We saw a lot of fish and like 5 big sea turtles.

Definitely recommended for anyone looking to snorkel, whether you're a beginner or pro.

This was our third time using Captain Bruce and we will keep coming back. It was a fun day out at the sandbar with friends making memories. Thank you for a great time!

I took my two daughters here and they both loved it. One of my daughter wanted to snorkel on this trip for her belated birthday. She didn’t want me to spend the money to snorkel but she was very happy and had an awesome time. No regrets!! lol I do not know how to swim and it was a super windy day, one of the staff suggested to not go out to snorkel but Captain Bruce said nope I’m going. I’m glad I did. He was very patient with me and gave me a mini lesson before heading out. I was comfortable and saw a lot of fishes and turtles. All the captains and crew members were nice, informative and great. Bring cash to tip. I highly recommend this to everyone. It is beautiful. Wished I had more time. Definitely will be back when I visit. Thank you Captain Bruce and your crew.

awesome crew members that were super friendly! Me and my coworkers had a great time and are definitely coming back again. Thank you

Best crew ever

We had an absolute blast. The crew and captain were the best. Would definitely recommend.
