There was one female crew was quite rude, it feels like she just needs a job to pay the bills.The food wasn't really pleasant either.

A must do!!

Reviewed by: jingjing, 2017/02/25

I highly recommend the sandbar adventure if you're in Oahu. We were picked up close to our hotel. The bus trip was very comfortable and the tour guide was informative and entertaining. The sandbar was amazing! We were able to walk around and they also set up a net for those who are interested in playing volleyball. We had hamburgers for lunch with chips and bbq beans. The snorkeling was also enjoyable. We were able to see and swim with the sea turtles and tropical fish along the protected coral reef. The staff was so laid back and organized. I highly suggest bringing swim shoes, towel and extra change of clothing. There is a bathroom in the pier. We love it so much we are planning to do it again.

The most friendly snorkel adventure

Reviewed by: fcevallos, 2016/12/24

My wife and I went to this adventure hoping to have a great time and see some fish here and there while snorkeling but these guys got us a great tour and we saw a ton of fish near the coral reef where they took us. The staff is super friendly and fun plus. The food was right on point and we loved they even gave us some hot chocolate after the swim to warm us up a bit.
Jenner and the captain are super friendly, I would love to go back and see them again when I go back to Hawaii.

What an awesome trip!

Reviewed by: Steve F, 2016/07/09

My wife and I went on a Thursday and had a wonderful time. There were two boats, one for English speaking people and one for Japanese speaking. When we got to the sandbar they tied the boats together and we explored the sandbar. My wife and I practiced or snorkeling skills and checked out our equipment, walked around the sandbar, and then played water volleyball. To my surprise, not many people wanted to play so my wife and I joined in. Our team consisted of us and 3 from the Japanese boat while the other team was 2 of the guides and 3 Japanese people. We may not have spoken the same language but it did remind me that laughter is a language we all share and speak. When we got back on the boat, we enjoyed a cheeseburger in paradise and were serenaded by one of the guides. We then went looking for turtles on the way to reef (we saw 3). The reef was amazing and we saw a turtle and tons of fish. After snorkeling for about 30 minutes, it was time to head back. Our final treat was seeing the original Gilligan's Island on the way back to port. We have lasting memories and it was a great time.

When we decide to visit Hawaii again in a few years this be on our to do list. I cant remember their names, But the man that played the guitar while we were on the sand bar was awesome. Def a people person with a big heart.

Our entire family loved this day cruise. The crew on the boat were all very knowledgeable and the sandbar, turtle bay and reef were all some of the coolest sights we saw on Oahu. Hope you get Jenner on your boat, he's the best! He went out snorkeling on the reef with my husband and showed him all kinds of cool stuff!

Did together with my son and had a blast. Make sure you are one of the first into the ocean when you start the snorkeling since the sea turtles will be scared away once the crowd hits. Managed to be third in and took 4K video of a huge turtle on the GoPro.

Thank you very much for posting these photos and the link to the video! It is great that you were able to see a Hawaiian Honu (Green Sea Turtle) and the video is fantastic.

乗るなら英語船に

Reviewed by: ネコママ, 2015/03/26

日本語ガイドがいる日本船と 英語のみの英語船とがありました。
私たち家族は英語船へ、母と友人は日本語船へ乗船。
日本人に人気のサンドバーだけあって 日本船は満員でした。
それに比べて英語船は (同じ大きさですが)ゆったりのんびり。
この差が大きく出たのは ランチ時です。
ずーっと並んでいる日本人を横目に ランチのお代わりをする英語船。
亀何匹見れた?って友人に聞いたら 3匹も見れたよ~ と返事。
そっちは何匹?と聞かれ 30匹以上見れた と返事するのが申し訳ない位。
日本人ガイドさんとは サンドバーに上陸したときに会えるので、
特に英語で困らなければ 英語船への乗船をお勧めします。
元々乗組員は全員英語 ジョークも英語ですので、わからない方にはわかりません。
シュノーケリングを楽しんで 亀を見るだけなら
英語がわからなくても大丈夫です。
ただ海の透明度は メキシコのカンクンなどに比べるとはるかに落ちますが、
こんなに一杯魚いるんだ~ と感激しました。
初シュノーケリングではまりました。 
(翌年はメキシコでシュノーケリングするくらいはまりました)

Absolutely Breathtaking!

Reviewed by: Phillip M, 2013/09/21

The Kaneohe Bay Sandbar Captain Bob's Snorkel Cruise is, by far, one of the most amazing and fun tours I have taken during my visit to the beautiful island of Oahu! From lunch at the sand bar with a game of volleyball, to an area where we saw turtles of all sizes and a HUGE Manta Ray, to the coral reef for some snorkeling, the snorkel cruise was non-stop fun! The crew was so nice and I cannot thank them enough for their help, guidance, and dedication to making sure everyone had a great time! This will definitely be a tour I will go on when I go to Hawaii again. I definitely recommend this cruise!! :-)

  • A stop at the Sand Bar for lunch and volleyball.

  • The turtles were amazing!

  • Snorkeling at the Coral Reef.

  • A view of the Coral Reef.

  • Elegance of the Manta Ray!

Oahu Captain Bobs Sailing Adventure

Reviewed by: Heidi, 2011/09/05

This snorkeling cruise was alot of fun. The crew worked really well together, skilled and knowledgeable and used alot of humor throughout the day and made everyone laugh. The bar-b-que was delicious and prepared very well. They crew made it a point to take us where sea turtles hung out and they didn't disappoint. We saw families of sea turtles swimming around. The snorkeling was good and I wished we would have had more time to spend there. The sea was gorgeous and very clear. We got to see the island that Gilligan's Island was used in the opening scene and that was great since we grew up with that show. Overall, a great and enjoyable way to spend a day and the price was comparable to the experience.

Great Overall Experience

Reviewed by: Wanda, 2011/07/09

Our experience with Captain Bob's Snorkel Cruise was awesome. The staff was laidback and friendly and made our experience great. They played volleyball on the sandbar with us, cooked us an awesome burger and gave great tips and help to make our snorkle experience the best. Could have done with a little less of Jenner's singing, since he seems to like to "ham it up" a bit too much.

I look forward to my next trip to Oahu so I can do this tour again.
