Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkel & BBQ Lunch with Free Transportation

Perfect family outing

Reviewed by: Abbie

This trip was awesome! We are a family of 4 (kids age 5 and 11) and everyone LOVED our time on the boat. The crew was amazing - very informative and helpful. They looked out for everyone’s safety but also made sure folks were having fun. Food was good and they had adult beverages for purchase. Very kid friendly - had child-sized snorkel gear and life jackets. The boat was very clean. Not to mention the beautiful landscape as your backdrop for swimming/snorkeling/turtle-watching…pictures can’t adequately capture just how breathtaking it all was. We didn’t want it to end!

Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkel & BBQ Lunch with Free Transportation

Super fun!

Reviewed by: Sheena

We had a great time on the lunch snorkel tour in Oahu! The trip is exactly as described. Hanging out on the sand bar was incredible and the turtle watching was stellar, we saw many turtles and even a large sting ray. Lunch was tasty and alcoholic drinks were $5 each. Crew was helpful and personable. The snorkeling around the reef was awesome! Bring lots of sunscreen, your own towels, an underwater camera or go pro for pics, and something easy and light to wear before and after getting in the ocean.

  • Gorgeous ocean views

  • The sand bar from afar

Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar

Luau

Reviewed by: Beverly Kramer

Everything about our evening was perfect. From the beautiful gardens, show, and dinner. When we visit Kauai again we will definitely be going back to see Smith’s luau. We had more enough to eat and were encouraged to go back for seconds. The open bar was great! The Smith family are so friendly and welcoming ❤️

  • Luau begins

  • Hawaiian music while we ate our dinner

  • Salad before dinner

  • I had to get a little of everything

  • Taking the pig out of the ground and learning about the Hawaiian culture.

  • Beautiful gardens

Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkel & BBQ Lunch with Free Transportation

Amazing time for the whole family!!

Reviewed by: Patricia

As a family of 3 young children (10, 7 and 20 months), we wanted to do at least one excursion on our trip and this was perfect for the 20 month old as she was able to swim in the sandbar! There were no issues taking the 40 minute bus and then the 10 minutes boat ride over to Kaneohe. It was very organized and clean! The staff were very professional and nice and when I emailed the company about bringing my baby’s float, they had no concerns! Kaneohe Sandbar was absolutely breathtaking and so beautiful! We even saw lots of sea turtles! We spent some time in the sandbar to swim and they even set up a volleyball net! They also come around and take pictures for you. While you’re out swimming, the other staff is preparing lunch. The food was pretty good too! Next stop was snorkeling and my husband said it was fun with the kids. They even rinse you off after you’ve finished. Definitely pack extra dry clothes as the bus gets cold - I read a review about that and it came in handy. I am definitely going to recommend this excursion to others.

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour with Meal, Transportation & Guide

Well worth it and would do again!

Reviewed by: Grace

Shawn was the best tour guide! It seemed like the entire 8 hours passed in a flash. From pickup onward, Shawn made sure that all guests were comfortable each time and told entertaining and engaging stories the entire time. The drive up the summit was super smooth, and I loved all of the photos! The stargazing took place at a secluded and clear location just below the summit and was accompanied by a funny, expert discussion on how and where to find all of the stars. Finally, loved all of the local food recommendations and super excited to try as many as possible this time as well as in future trips. The highlight of my trip this year!

Oceanfront Royal Kona Luau with Open Bar - Voyagers of the Pacific Show

Family fun

Reviewed by: Karen

Overall, this was a good experience for my family. We went with 3 kids and 6 adults including grandparents. The food was tasty, but not a lot of choices for picky eaters. The show was fun and the kids were thrilled by the fire dancer! Unfortunately, due to Covid restrictions, they did not have any pre-event activities to keep the kids engaged. My daughter really wanted to learn to hula dance as advertised, but they did not have it the night we went. I cannot fault them for taking Covid precautions. Again, overall, the whole family walked away from this happy and with good memories.

Great Island Adventure with Great Tour Guides!

Reviewed by: Hawaii Explorer

We had a great time at this ranch doing 3 different tours; Jungle Tour, Plant Tour and a Movie Tour! During each of these tours we had great tour guides who taught us lots of cool things about Hawaiian culture and sites. We would definitely go back to Kualoa Ranch and do the other things we didn’t do this time. The Movie Tour showed us the sites for lots of different movies so now I want to go home and watch all of them again! Great fun!! And definitely something I would do again!

Absolutely Wonderful!

Reviewed by: Lela Taylor

I had my granddaughter as my companion and we so enjoyed the experience. The food was excellent! Wow a whole lobster which was such a pleasant surprise as I thought it might just be the tail. LOL. The serivice, the entertainment and overall experience will last me the rest of my life. That is coming from this 80 year-old-lady who hopes she has many more years left. Going to Hawaii was a life-long dream and I finally made it.. This sunset cruise topped off my whole trip experience. Have been telling anyone I meet who mentions going to Honolulu I emphatically tell them to take this sunset cruise.
Hugs to all of you.
