Shawn was an excellent tour guide. He answered all of our questions, and was very knowledgeable about a range of subjects. We were confident in his driving ability, especially in the dark downhill with the goats :-)

Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkel & BBQ Lunch with Free Transportation
Best excursion we ever had.
Reviewed by: Jenica
I don't know where to start, the staff, the boat, the experience were all amazing and so much fun!
We got lucky with weather and it was a perfect hot day out (also it's October so it's not scorching out)
Staff is experienced, fun & down to earth. They've been running the boat for a long time and train the younger staff themselves & they're very friendly.
They also have a lot of knowledge about the whole island but just the boat.
We went straight to the Sandbar on crystal blue water which there's lots of deck space to watch. We had the sandbar all to ourselves, set up a net and because our cruise ended up having less people and all adults, we all easily fit in and played a few games together in the middle of the ocean, honestly how much better and dreamlike can it get. We had a blast while others if not playing walked around the sandbar and enjoyed the amazing views.
Had a much needed lunch complete with some wine & enjoyed the sun.
We then went turtle searching and saw quite a few hanging out and breaching, but honestly having time to just enjoy the breeze and take in the views was great. Again, weather dependant but on a good day, boat is sturdy, hardly any rocking, nobody even looked remotely sick.
Then the snorkeling is on a pop up reef, so you can swim around the entire thing. Again, weather dependant but for us, crystal clear waters, some colourful fish, a nice lap in the water.
100% take the fresh water once or twice rinse after the snorkeling it'll make the rest of your boat time feel much more comfortable!
They served hot chocolate after and it warmed our bodies back up.
We all finished snorkeling rather early so instead of cutting our excursion short, they took us on a scenic route and gave us more sights and time on the boat.
Take this cruise if you're into some vball and snorkelling, those things alone & you'll love this!!

Best of Kualoa Experience - Movie Sites, Jungle Expedition, Farm Tour & Lunch
Tours and tour guides are awesome!
Reviewed by: Wendy Chitwood
The ultimate package gave us 3 tours and lunch! We loved the Aloha Aina tour, learning about the land the plants, birds and all the agriculture. We enjoyed the hawaiian snacks, learning about the taro, the fish ponds and raising oystes and shrimp. The Hollywood movie tour had fun learning about different movies filmed on the ranch. The Jungle tour was awesome for the views and historical Hawaiian stories of how the ranch came to be what it is today! LUNCH was yummy! Each guide was very informative and always safety first oriented.. Thank you Kualoa Ranch !

Very Nice and Clean Boat, Best Food and Best Crew
Reviewed by: Dohn Salvador
What else can you ask for: Very Nice and Clean Boat, Best Food and Best Crew. First time in a sand bar and snorkeling with lots of turtles is really worth it.
Come and try them out. If you want to see lots of turtles then you need to join them.
You will love them and I will definitely join them again on my next trip to Hawaii.

Amazing Experience
Reviewed by: Matasa
This was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had on a vacation. It was priced right, just the right amount of time, super amazing staff/guides, and the best value all around. The boat ride is peaceful and quick. The sandbar was amazing and gives you enough time to meet others or practice your snorkeling skills. Seeing the turtles was so exciting and plentiful. The actual snorkeling was really the highlight. It was absolutely beautiful. If you visiting Honolulu this is a must-do activity!

This was such an amazing experience and our favorite activity that we did on the Big Island! Hiro was a wonderful tour guide, shared lots of great information and was super funny and personable. They have everything covered from making sure you're acclimated to the altitude, stopping for spectacular views, warm winter gear, food, water/hot chocolate/tea, the most amazing star-gazing I've ever seen, etc. Dress warm and don't forget your cash tip money because they will go above and beyond and you'll want to show your gratitude for the incredible experience.

This was a very cool and unique tubing experience down the ditches of a former sugar plantation. The staff are fun, entertaining, and knowledgeable, including Laki and crew. You will experience views the island that you can not see otherwise. A must do for those who have not done it before. There are five tunnels you pass through along the way. Do not expect a lot of sun time. It was a very fun time.

Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar
Great 1st time Luau experience!
Reviewed by: Heather
The Smith Family grounds were beautiful from the moment you walk in. Everything was so visually appealing and everyone was so nice. They take you around the entire grounds in a trolley so you can see everything beforehand. Plus you have time to walk around after the trolley ride. We enjoyed it all even the rain, the unveiling of the pig ceremony, the dinner entertainment, the explanation of the luau dance moves, the Smith Family, the dinner, and the luau show. We would definitely return. I believe it is a must see, especially for those who have never been to the Smith Family Luau before. Keep up the great work Smith family.

We had a wonderful experience at Captain Bob’s Sandbar Cruise. The entire staff was very friendly and made sure everyone had a good time. The guy who gave everyone instructions (forgot his name) was very friendly and hilarious to listen to. We got to play on the sand bar for an adequate amount of time, had some burgers, saw some sea turtles, snorkeled, and saw a huge coral reef. Overall a very memorable and fun part of our trip. My only regret was because so much was included I forgot to bring my wallet so I couldn’t tip them! Maybe next time. Thanks for the wonder memories!
