BOB's Hawaii Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Watching Tour
Pictures look great but reality not so good
Reviewed by: KGC1, 2022/09/16The underwater scooter adventure seemed like a great idea, particularly for my wife, who doesn't like snorkeling because of having the breathing tube in her mouth. This diving-bell style system seemed like the perfect solution. It worked, but there were some major issues. Start with the boat, which is small and when moored to the dive area bobs like a cork in the ocean swells, creating motion issues. The scooter itself has air pumped in constantly, resulting in an ever-changing level of air pressure until the air is forced out. So, your ears are constantly clogging and unclogging like you are descending and ascending in a plane the whole time. You also have no control over where the scooter goes, since it is not really self-propelled. Each scooter is accompanied by a "dive master" who physically pushes you to where the master wants you to go, and who controls when you submerge and when you surface. The marine life is swell, with fish food provided to bring in the fish right up to your helmet. The helmet is also very noisy, with the compressed air machine running, making it unlike snorkeling, which is quiet and peaceful. Bobbing up and down in the current inside the diving bell also produces a lot of motion, so don't eat anything before taking the trip. The crew was nice, but did not provide much instruction about what would happen once under the bell. There are hand signals for the dive master, but you feel very much out of control during the dive. On balance, I would not do this again -- even if I had not gotten seasick.

Kaneohe Bay Sandbar Ocean Sports Adventure with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Music
Amazing for solo travellers, groups and families
Reviewed by: The lone rider, 2022/09/16This tour is a must do! The organization was plain up perfect, easy pick up and check in! On board you get greeted by the different crew members, get introduced to the boat and the band starts playing wonderful music! The crew did an amazing job making everyone feel grateful. The lifeguards at the different events (Paddle boarding, kayaking, snorkeling) all were very friendly and fun to talk to, but yet still very professional. The snorkeling is amesome with a great reef to see some fishes! The donuts were also very good!
A must do when on Oahu

Kaneohe Bay Sandbar Ocean Sports Adventure with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Music
GREAT for groups!!!
Reviewed by: Esther, 2022/09/15Our group of 9 loved this excursion! so many things to do during this boating trip which is perfect for bigger groups. They have all of the equipments for you!
We didn't get the food package but you can bring your own food on the boat, plus it's only a couple of hours.
- Snorkeling: the sandbar was perfect for snorkeling because of the calm ocean, be careful of the jellyfishes that float in the water
- Kayaking: Also super fun!! my group had a race with eachother! would do it again!
All of the boating staff were super friendly, loved the experience and would recommended it to big groups!

Kaneohe Bay Kayak & Snorkel Self-Guided Tour [Tour Not Available]
Amazing reef and dancing turtles
Reviewed by: K-E, 2022/09/14We went to the bomb hole at the sand dunes to see the amazing reef. No need to do much else on our four hour trip. While there we saw two turtles dancing, before they disappeared in the deep hole.

Lehua Crater & Na Pali Coast Guided Snorkel Tour with Breakfast, Lunch & Drinks
Amazing
Reviewed by: Chelsea, 2022/09/13The best crew ever! The cruise started with a great breakfast while we made our way up the coast plenty of food and drinks were available. The Na Pali coast was beautiful as expected! The captain drove us up to the caves so that was a cool unexpected addition. We made our way to the snorkel spot which was very secluded which was nice to be away from the crowds. We saw lot of fish, a monk seal and a turtle. After the snorkel we had a nice lunch then headed back to the harbor. The ride back was super fun with a singalong

Ocean Encounters Manta Ray Snorkel Tour - Sunset & Moonlight Cruise from Kona
Awesome
Reviewed by: Chelsea, 2022/09/13This was an amazing once in a lifetime experience. Highly recommend going on this tour. The moonlight tour would be my recommendation because there are less boats in the cove. The crew on this trip were great and very helpful the entire trip. They had drinks and snacks available when on the boat. The mantas were constant the entire time we were in the water and I was able to get great footage on my GoPro!

GREAT TIME! MUST DO!!!!!!!!!
Reviewed by: kmarquez, 2022/09/13My only complaint is that I WISH IT WAS LONGER. Otherwise, this was hands down one of the best activities we did.
GREAT PEOPLE.
The musicians were amazing and so friendly! It was such a great time.
The activity itself surpassed all of my expectations.
I honestly will come back and do this tour every time I visit! My friends and family all agreed and we were a large party of 12!

Kaneohe Bay Kayak & Snorkel Self-Guided Tour [Tour Not Available]
A must do!
Reviewed by: Jonny, 2022/09/13This was a really awesome, unique experience. I would recommend kayaking with someone rather than alone especially if you're completely out of shape like I am as I was super sore after but let me tell you that it was COMPLETELY worth it. I did see one turtle and I wasn't even really looking! It took me like 45 minutes to get to the sandbar because I stopped a few times to take it all in. I had trouble getting back on my own because it started to get windy so I called the tour people and they came and picked me up without hesitation and were incredibly sweet about it. I'd come back with another person for sure or when I'm more in shape haha!
Aloha Jonny! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure! And thank you for taking the time to leave such an awesome review for us. We really appreciate that, and certainly good feedback. I am very glad to hear it sounds like you had a great kayaking experience with us. While we certainly would never leave anybody out there, and I'm glad to hear our staff took good care of you, it is important to also point out that normally we do have to charge an additional fee if we have to send a boat out to come get anybody and bring them back unless there is some type of emergency. It sounds like we made an exception for you, which is awesome, but only since you mentioned it in your review I did want to clarify that for the sake of others. It's usually not a free ride back if folks go too far and then cannot make it back to us. But of course we will make sure everyone gets back safe! Hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!

サンドバー シュノーケリングクルーズ バナナボートなど選べるプラン！ 海に浮かぶラウンジ&船上ライブミュージック アルコール購入可！＜午前・午後／日本語クルー＞
はじめてのサンドバー【天国の海】
Reviewed by: ヨーク, 2022/09/13今回初めての参加もあり、送迎ありで申し込み。
集合場所は事前に知らされていたのですが、私の勘違いで隣のABCストアと間違えてしまいました。なので事前にホテルフロントの日本語がわかる方等に確認をすると良いです。
マイクロバスの運転手も感じの良い方でした。（日本語は通じません。）
サンドバーの受付では名前と人数を言ったらすんなり通過。
船では国籍毎に席をまとめられたので不安が軽減しました。日本人参加は計8人（内4人が私のグループ）
船長さんは少し日本語ができる方で、トイレの場所、船のルールを教えてくれます。たまたまポケモンGOを開いていたらフレンドになってくれました笑
沖までで出る間はハワイアンミュージックを聴きながらドーナツとドリンクをいただけます。歌はとても素敵で、ドーナツは大きいです！（チョコ、砂糖、アイシングの3種のコーティング）
サンドバーに着く前に救命胴衣の説明が英語であり、一部のアクティビティでは必ず切る必要があります。SUP、シュノーケリング、カヤック、バナナボートをやる方は必要です。
シュノーケルの装着方法等は日本語の説明がありました。魚用のパンをもらえるので沢山の魚が寄ってきてくれます。
SUPとカヤックをやりましたが、数に限りがあり誰かが終わるまで少し待ちます。他の参加者がいい人が多く「change？」って聞いてくれる人も沢山いました。
そして今回一番良かったのはホヌに出会えたことです。SUP中だったので海中では見ることができませんでしたが、海面に顔を出してくれました。
2時間ほど遊んだあとはホットドリンクを頂きホテルから持ってきたバスタオルで体を温め、またドーナツを頂きました笑
帰りの船の中もいい感じのハワイアンミュージックを聴きながらで、あっという間に終了。
船を降りたら船長さんが一緒に写真を撮ってくれました！
サービスも内容も大満足だったので少し多くチップを渡しちゃいました。
持っていってよかったもの
浮き輪（ポンプ付き）
海中で取れるカメラとスマホケース
バスタオル
ラッシュガード
注意事項
サンゴで足を怪我しやすい
シュノーケルに慣れていないと呼吸が少し難しい
日焼け
潮が満ちてくると胸の位置まで海水（午前プランおすすめ）

Aloha Kona Tours Private Boat Charter - Kealakekua Bay Snorkel & Dolphin Watch
Two fantastic private cruises! Thank you Aloha Kona Tours!
Reviewed by: Jim Nicholl, 2022/09/12We prefer private charters and snorkeling trips and Aloha Kona Tours did not disappoint. We had such a good time on our Sept 9th cruise we booked a night time Manta Ray cruise the very next day!
On our first cruise we got to see turtles and dolphins and actually got to snorkel with a 25 foot whale shark. It was outstanding! The Captain is excellent and the Crew is very friendly and knowledgeable! The Captain was accommodating to our request for our outing to make the trip very personalized.
On our second night Manta Ray cruise we enjoyed a stunning sunset cruise and tour of the city from the water. Then we snorkeled with the Manta Rays for about 30 minutes. They have all the gear and the Crew was so accommodating. Three of us got in the water and swam with the Rays and our fourth person was a little shy but the Crew made sure she got to see the Rays up close without leaving the boat.
Both trips were truly unforgettable and amazing! The boat is beautiful and comfortable.
Thanks Aloha Kona Tours,
Jim, Jodi, Debye and Larry

Hawaii Manta Ray Sunset & Night Time Snorkel Experience from Kona - Iruka
Amazing experience for young and old
Reviewed by: familytour2022, 2022/09/12We had an amazing time on this tour, the guides were knowledgeable, funny and accommodating. My 3 year old got to ride on the party pit and loved seeing the mantas up close. Really appreciated all the extra care the staff took to make sure everyone was supported and felt comfortable. We saw at least half a dozen different rays and our biggest challenge was not touching them when they swam right up to us! Can not recommend this tour enough
Aloha!
Thank you for the positive comments about our team, we're glad your group felt safe and satisfied! We do offer a repeater discount of 20% off, so please keep us in mind for future travel plans.
Mahalo,

Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkel & BBQ Lunch with Free Transportation
This one was worth it
Reviewed by: Chris , 2022/09/10I've done alot of activities in oahu including parasailing, snorkeling, and more, but this one was the most worth it. Not only did the 4 hour excursion feel like it was over too soon, but the captain and crew felt like family. They were so informative with what we were doing and also joined us in playing in the sandbars. Lastly, my cousin has never swam let alone in the ocean and was finally able to go out and snorkel!

SO SO FUN & FRIENDLY!
Reviewed by: Sandee, 2022/09/10The crew was amazing! And took care of all of the customers even had a separate boat for Japanese speaking only, so thoughtful to think of them. It was so fun going out to the Sandbar, and also took us turtle watching and snorkeling! And the burger was so good after some fun in the sun! I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone looking for some good fun, good food, and good company. All of us customers had a great time playing water volleyball with each other in the Sandbar! If you’ve been thinking about doing this, just do it, it’ll be such a fun experience to include in your Hawai’i trip!
