Allen was a fantastic host and captain. He took us to the secret turtle reef spot, brought us snorkeling multiple times, and made the whole experience enjoyable and fun. My son absolutely loves him and has already decided we’ll come back again in the near future! It was also wonderful to chat about his good old days in the SF Bay Area and hear what it was like before gentrification.

We had a fantastic time at the sandbar with Captain Bruce. Even if it rained a bit, we had a lot of fun and an unforgettable experience. We started the boat ride with delicious coffee and spam musubi (miam!). After about 10 min of the boat ride, we saw turtles from the boat. After we got to the sandbar, we played with paddle boards, buoys, volleyball, and water guns. It was not like any average beach day; it was like playing volleyball in the middle of the ocean! The views of the mountains and the ocean are stunning. There are only a few sandbars in the world, and it was great living this experience with Captain Bruce. After the game, we went snorkelling and saw many turtles. I was lucky enough to see a baby turtle wake up. I was able to observe it for at least 5 minutes! There were fish too! If you're uncomfortable snorkelling, buoys are available, and the guides are very reassuring and helpful to beginners.

What a perfect way to end our vacation!! My family had the best time!! I brought my 3 month old baby and not once did I ever feel unsafe during this activity! It is perfect for the whole family! Thank you so much!

Does not disappoint in rain or shine.

I would definitely recommend Captain Bruce’s sandbar tour. We had the best experience from playing around on the sandbar to snorkeling the reef with the fish and the turtles. The staff were absolutely brilliant.

We had a great time! Debated because it seemed pricey at the time. So glad we didn’t cancel and took this trip. It as AMAZING and so beautiful. Captain Robin and Jaime were excellent. So kind and easy to talk to about anything. So were the other crew. I didn’t catch all of their names. Would do this again in a heartbeat!

The trip with paddle and snorkeling in sand bar is very enjoyable. The captain and snorkeling guide are very nice. We have seen lots of fish swimming around us. Also, lots of turtles sit in the coral. We are very lucky to see a turtle ventilate very close to us.

It was an amazing time. I wish we could have stayed out there all day. The crew was the best.

I joined the tour on the 15th Aug 2024.
The bus picked me up at my hotel, and took me to Kaneohe beach very safely.
The boat crew was Jason, Jamy and Izumi san. They were all very kind and helped me a lot. The snorkeling took place around coral leaves, where sea turtles were nesting. It was just an amazing experience! Thank you so much for the unforgettable memory.

Our experience at the captain Bruce sandbar was absolutely amazing. Jamie and Robin were so fun and welcoming. Robin took the time to show me how to snorkel, made sure that I was safe and really took his time to make sure that I saw all the cute sea turtles. I loved every minute of this experience and I can’t wait to go back! Mahalo! 🌺
