Kaneohe Bay Sandbar Ocean Sports Adventure with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Music
Highly Recommended
Reviewed by: Lester
It is a must when you visit Oahu whether it is your first time or you have been to the island more than once. It was definitely the highlight of our trip. It was also family-friendly and parties with infants and children can definitely enjoy this tour.

Big Island Manta Ray Night Snorkel Tour Adventure on a Hawaiian Sailing Canoe
Exhilarating Experience
Reviewed by: Ashley M.
So amazing!!
Amount of time was perfect!
I'm not a person who gets seasick but I did in the water after laying horizontally with the waves for so long.
Saw so many manta rays.. at least four. They came close many times. Enough to record and to turn off your camera and just live in the experience.
Would recommend to anyone!
I liked this company because it's a small group and you get to ride a canoe.
The guide in the water was very nice and gave lots of information about the mantas. Small enough group that even though I was on the very end, I could hear him.
So cool! 5 stars from me!

Kauai Na Pali Coast Snorkeling Tour & Sea Cave Adventure by Makana Charters
Fantastic adventure!
Reviewed by: Billy
My 9 year old daughter and I had a wonderful afternoon with Captain Cam and his partner Tony. They conveyed wonderful information about the areas we were seeing, made sure everyone was well taken care of, and kept the afternoon moving along such that there never seemed to be a dull moment. Highlights were snorkling, humpback whales, getting into some of the beautiful caves and just generally becoming familiar with a uniquely beautiful area of the world. Highly recommended!

Reviewed by: Bheywow
Super fun quick snorkel. The crew and captain were awesome and funny. My kids loved as did I. Met a few “regulars” which I have never encountered on a snorkeling adventure in the past, which says a lot. I’ll make sure to leverage this on trips in the future. Namaste.

Sea Quest Kealakekua Bay Snorkel Tour & Rafting Sea Cave Expedition
Perfect beginner's snorkel adventure
Reviewed by: Bruce L
Our family did the Captain Cook snorkel trip in early April. The boat takes less than 15 people (11 on our trip), it is a small but stable inflatable type. The water was a little choppy for our trip, but not enough to prevent the go-ahead. We had to hang on as the boat jumped and rolled its way through the waves making hte journey unexpectedly exciting. We had a relaxed, informative and personable captain and one other crew member. The boat zipped out towards the Captain Cook monument area which has excellent snorkeling. Pretty much everyone on the boat was snorkeling for the first time. Sea Quest supplied full snorkel gear including prescription masks for one of our party. Inflatable Snorkel vests and pool noodles were also made available for those who prefer a little extra buoyancy. We stopped a couple of times on the way to check out a large pod of spinners dolphin and for an overview of the Big Island as viewed from out at sea. Once we got to Capt. Cook, we had about 1.5 hours to snorkel. The snorkeling was outstanding - clear calm water, tons of fish & coral. Sea Quest supplied snacks and drinks. Everyone had a great time and a lasting fun family memory was made. Great work Sea Quest!

What an amazing experience we had swimming with turtles. Captain even took us out to see some whales before we hit turtle canyon. We had kids with us and it was perfect for them, wasn’t too long and they didn’t get bored. Crew was knowledgeable and very helpful. They had all the equipment on board and were even playing some tunes for us. 10/10 would do it again.

We loved our Excursion to The Sandbar. The transportation to the doc was prompt and fairly quick. The lunch was better than I was expecting and the boat was nice and roomy to walk around. The staff and the live music were great. We thoroughly enjoyed our day at The Sandbar I would definitely recommend this company. They also have a floating dock with chairs where you can sit and relax and look at the beautiful scenery around you which was really cool!

Kaneohe Bay Sandbar Ocean Sports Adventure with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Music
Not the top of my list
Reviewed by: Kat
We went on April 8th 2 adults 2 kids 7 and 13. Not worth the money. Crew and live music are fantastic ( this is why we gave 3 stars). Not good snorkling place. Lots of scared kids ( even our younger one was bit anxious). Not enough sport equipment to share. Important they only allowed 2 pieces snorkling gear so if you have anything different you are not allowed to use it. Some people resigned from snorkling because of this.

My wife and daughter enjoyed the experience. I did as well but swallowed too much salt water during open swim and got sick off the side of the boat. The crew was very professional in dealing with me.

Definitely recommend this manta ray experience

The manta rays definitely put on an amazing show for us, so I would give them five stars. More importantly though, we would give the crew five stars. They put in a lot of effort to make sure everyone was informed and comfortable, and they were very efficient. We would certainly recommend Iruka for this manta ray experience.

Great times! Something for everyone with pristine water and views. Highly recommend!
Reviewed by: Garrett Cottam
Had a great time on this tour. They seemed to have something for everyone. We kayaked, paddle boarded, snorkeled, played volleyball, and snorkeled some more. We saw a great variety of fish and sea life. Others enjoyed the floating on the barge, socializing, taking in the sun and amazing views. The musicians were great. Played good music and had great voices. Only problem was that we needed more time because this was such a great time. Thank you to the fantastic crew! Would highly recommend this tour and company!

Sandbar is really close to land. Doesn’t really get a feel of middle of ocean. The banana boat is $25 extra. I thought it was included. The snorkeling was pretty decent. It was just okay for me. Lots of people and not enough boats, you wait to use them. Kayak and paddle boards.

Waikiki Snorkel with Turtles Cruise with Beers & Cocktails - Ke Kai Catamaran
Excellent service and Breath-taking views
Reviewed by: Shawn
The Manu Kai Waikiki Snorkel with Turtles Cruise was all it promised to be. The crew was professional and very helpful. We were treated to a nice boat ride to Turtle Canyon and once in the water we saw several sea turtles calmly swimming along as smaller fish cleaned their shells and fins. There were several species of fish swimming in small schools that we could photograph as well.
The crew was very helpful and taught a basic course in snorkeling that enabled everyone to enjoy the experience to the fullest.
The boat itself is well maintained, clean, and provided a restroom for passengers.
The beverages were served cold (after the snorkel to avoid any intoxication issues while swimming.)
I would recommend this cruise to anyone interested in seeing the majesty of Hawaii's underwater environment and thrill seekers who love ocean adventures. The crew promised turtles and we were treated to a promise fulfilled.

Kaneohe Bay Sandbar Ocean Sports Adventure with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Music
Outstanding experience
Reviewed by: Joyce L
Wow, where do i start? first of all, the online purchase was very easy and straight forward. you get what are being described in the details plus more -- FUN and KINDNESS from all the staffs!
let's take it from the top -- we stayed at Waikiki area, the drive to the harbor was pleasant and nice. please do arrive early to find parking though!!
Check in -> meet the staff under the red umbrella. It literally took us a minute or less. once you get a stamp on your hand for everyone in your party, you are good to go use the bathroom, change or just hang out until the boat arrives.
Once on board -> staff will tell you where to sit and once you put your stuff away you are free to get in line for lunch. Lunch is no 5-star Ritz quality, BUT it's enough to fill your belly for all the fun activities you will do. you are always welcome to go 2nd round if there are food left behind.
Before water -> staff will introduce themselves, hang out life jackets and tell you all the rules before you jump into the water. While you are in the water, there are multiple staffs in the water to help or give you a pointer of where the fishes/corals/sea cucumbers/sea urchins are. once you are tired of snorkeling you can use the paddle boats and/or kayaks. First timers? no problem, the staffs will help you to get a hang of it before you take off. if you go far beyond or get drifted by the wind/waves (like me!) they will send someone out with the speed boat or kayak to pull you back within the area...with a SMILE! let me just tell you how many times (3) i got drifted away and these people always pulled me back with a big smile on their faces.
These staffs are so kind, helpful and so happy. they really know how to put a smile on people's face. oh and the live music onboard was wonderful, you can dance your way back to the shore! i highly recommend this group for your sandbar visit!!
