Another beautiful outing to the sandbar.
Our guide Allan was fabulous.
This is was out 4th time in this excursion and we’ll do it each time we visit the island.

Thank you for everything
And casey, jeff, isuzmi are amazing
You guys are awesome !!!!
The trip went smoothly thanks to your thorough planning.
We had a wonderful and unforgettable experiences at Kaneohe Sandbar and we cannot thank you enough for exceptional services.

Thank you to Hosanna, Jamie, and Karen for making this 2nd trip out one that will lead to a third trip in the future. Hosanna was a tremendous help to my 80 year old father when it came to the snorkel on the reef. While he was always comfortable in the water, having that extra bit of help meant a lot. You can always tell when a crew enjoys what they do and they want to make the day one that is safe, and one to remember for the “from always” that might not be as comfortable in the water as they are. The fish, the turtles, the paddle boards, and the flippering around made for an enjoyable afternoon in the warm Hawaii sun. Thank you to the entire crew. When I am on Oahu, I will return.

Great way to spend an afternoon

This is my second time experiencing the Kaneohe Sandbar with the Captain Bruce outfit. The sandbar itself is a wonder to behold. It’s like a crystal clear, shallow, sandy pool in the middle of the ocean. You can float on a tube, try standup paddle board, or just swim and enjoy the beauty. Then you snorkel near the drop off and see a host of tropical fish and amazing sea turtles.

Now for the service. The captain and crew are friendly, well organized, accommodating and really take care of their customers. Jamie, one of the deck hands, recognized me from my first trip! The crew gives instructions in both English and Japanese.

The experience takes about 3 hours. It’s a short boat ride to the sandbar where they anchor. You have about an hour to enjoy the sandbar then an hour to snorkel, then your return ride. They provide the snorkel, life vest, paddle boards and blow up tubes. For food they offer a spam musubi, fruit, snacks and drinks. The crew snorkels with the group to ensure safety and that everyone stays together. There is a bathroom on the boat and bins to keep your belongings dry. You need to bring your own towels and sunscreen. Shoes are not allowed on the boat, I assume for sanitary reasons.

Bring a little cash for a well-deserved tip or you can use Venmo. We had a small underwater point-and-shoot camera that I attached to my life vest so I wouldn’t drop it. I got amazing photos of the fish and turtles. I highly recommend if you can get a hold of one. I will be back again and again. The friends and family we brought on both trips said it was the best part of their vacation. I was born in Hawaii and return every year to be with family and this a must-do for me now.

We booked a private boat for our party of 5 and it was such a fun experience! We had Crystal for our captain and she is awesome, very chill and super nice, yet knowledgeable. We had a floating square that we could all lay and hang out on, the snacks were yummy, and we had a SUP we could cruise around on and we all went snorkeling away from the big tour group. We will definitely book again and request Crystal!

I had a wonderful time with the crew. It was my first time snorkeling, and I was nervous. I forgot his name, but a guy came to me and was really patient, helping me calm down. I saw turtles and fish. It was just beautiful. I had an amazing time with them and my family. Thank You!!!

Delightful time going to the sandbar with such an incredible crew!!! Outstanding in all aspects! It is a must for anyone wanting to play on the sandbar and do some incredible snorkeling off the reef out there!!

My husband and I really enjoyed the snorkeling tour! I liked that it was at a sandbar instead of jumping off a boat into deep water. I loved the paddle boarding too. The scenery was breathtaking, and I would have liked to stay and relax longer. Everything was well organized and the crew was very helpful and friendly!

We booked this adventure after being recommended it over and over. It was the only thing I actually booked ahead of time so I could guarantee a spot! My kids have never been on a boat and I wasn’t sure how the whole experience would go but they both loved the ride. This was the only time we saw turtles on our trip and the guys on the boat were so great and really wanted to make sure everyone had fun and enjoyed their day. Would definitely do it again!
