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

Thank you!

WOW! From the moment we arrived at the pier (we drove as we had a toddler with us) Jenner was playful and set a great mood. Everyone was excited for a day on the water, even though the weather didn't look too great. The Sandbar was fantastic, it's a unique experience being in the middle of the ocean, walking around. My husband had NEVER snorkeled before and found it hard to put the experience into words; he saw fish he'd only ever seen in documentaries and he was fascinated by the colours and the way they would swim around him... he's now officially addicted. Lunch was really good; well organised, quick and tasty. Our little one kinda freaked out on the boat and the staff were great with cheering him up. Jenner played his guitar while we ate and I've never felt more relaxed and like I was "in Hawaii". We saw turtles, the coral reef we moved to after the sand bar was unbelievable - the marine life is abundant and a hot cocoa at the end of a day snorkeling in cooler water was a perfect e

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

Truely Enjoyable

Reviewed by: Mark from Ottawa

For the first snorkel outting of our trip, this was a great way to get the ball rolling. Other than the long drive to get to the boat launch everything was smooth sailing. The crew was great and fun to travel with and were very knowledgable on the sites we visited. The trip to the sand bar was a treat. Only regret is we would love to have stayed at the reef longer.

Ko Olina Snorkeling Cruise & Dolphin Watching Tour with Picnic Lunch and Drinks

Excellent experience, well run

Reviewed by: Thomas

This was an excellent half-day experience. We went out on a large, spacious catamaran with a crew of 4, and in the course of 2 guided snorkling drops we had multiple sightings of dolphin, saw a giant turtle moving along the sea floor and another (or possibly the same one) pausing to breathe at the surface, and encountered countless colorful (and near-fearless) fish. We saw coral, too, with coral arches (our guide dived down and swam under one) and a "coral garden" area.

After the second dive we were given hot BBQ sandwiches and mixed fruit, with a choice of chicken or pork sandwhiches. There was plenty of room for everyone to find a spot in the sun (when it shone), and cabin shelter when we felt chilly.

The crew were friendly, safety-conscious, and proactive in large and small ways. Everyone was encouraged to wear a lifejacket for the first snorkel drop, and there were 2 crew members in the water with us, one as a guide and one to stay with the first-timers (he brought a surfboar

Ko Olina Ocean Adventures Snorkel with Wild Dolphins Rafting Tour [Open Soon]

Amazing experience!

Reviewed by: Flippers Friend

This was a great day with everything going smoothly, there was nothing negative about the day! First we saw the sea turtles at the feeding station, then we had to gun the boat all the way up to north shore to view the dolphins and lastly we went to the power plant to see the fish in the reefs there. The only bad thing about this trip was NOT the tour's fault - First I got seasick, but the skipper and first mate had some lavender stuff that seemed to help and the dolphins were being pushed away by about 10 different groups of boats, also people were to busy splashing in the water instead of just floating there like we were told.

The advice about fish food is spot on from the previous post, just follow the other people who bought it.

The wet suit didn't look like it was worth it - everyone froze whether they were wearing a swimsuit or a wetsuit.

Transportation was easy and hassel-free.

We had a great time during our trip! The service we received from the whole staff was exceptional! Everyone was very helpful and fun! They made sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. I was also impressed that they gave extra attention to my dad who is a senior and took care of him. I am so glad I took my friends and family on this adventure and will definitely recommend this excursion to friends visiting Oahu!

Reviewed by: Jess

This was a great day out, everything went smoothly and there was nothing negative about the day! First we went and saw the green sea turtles, then went to the a reef to see the fish (also saw turtles there). Lastly we went to see the dolphins. The only bad thing about this trip was NOT the tour's fault - the poor dolphins were being harrassed by about 10 different groups at once and they were clearly stressed.
Lunch was better than expected and filling.
Don't bother getting fish food - just follow other people who bought it (plus the tour people have some that they chucked in anyway). The snorkel equipment was way above average - well taken care of!
The wet suit didn't look worth it - everyone froze whether they were wearing a bikini or a wetsuit so definitely take a weather-proof jacket that you don't mind getting wet!
Transportation was easy and hassel-free.

BOB's Hawaii Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Watching Tour

Wonderful, but short, experience

Reviewed by: Lars D

I'm not comfortable with normal scuba gear, so this was a good way to be able to get under the water and see the marine life off Hawaii.

The scooters were not fast, but that is due to safety.

Everyone gets a diver that looks after them and can go under with their partner/friend. I always felt I was in good hands.

The experience lasted 20 minutes, which is not much. But to allow several people to go down without using several days, one doesn't have a choice. One would always want more time with something that is enjoyable.

A bit pricey, but safety costs, and the value was everything considered, not bad.

YOU DO SEE TURTLES! Amazing experience- we saw 5 large sea turtles at the cleaning station. We had a large one come up for air literally right in front of us- I could have reached out and touched it! We also saw dolphins and several large fish. If you want to see turtles, this is the snorkel for you... If you're looking for a close-up of tropical fish - go to a different site. Cruise is very comfortable and a great view of the Waikiki beach front.

Exellent day on the water, we not only got to see Spinner dolphins but swam with them and spotted them underwater 3 times! Appreciated the lunch and drinks.

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.

I was lucky to have a great crew! Captain Marc and Steve were awesome and funny guys, thank you for having a great trip! We also had been happy seeing the dolphins right away and didn´t have to search for them! The snorkeling was great, especially for first timer, because Marc took his time to explain everything and make people feeling comfortable in the water. They also explain how to behave in the waters with turtles and dolphins around you - so, please listen to them!! It is exhausting having people bumping into you, because they swim - what you should not do....well, some people don´t listen and don´t watch their environment!
Oh, and don´t imagine yourself actually swimming and playing with dolphins! you wanna do that, go to sea life (what I am not recommending - those poor doplphins!!) It´s wild animals - you are able to observe them and their behavior, swimming beneath you - that was awesome!
After the trip, we had a nice lunch with burgers of your choice (pork, chicken, veggi

Unique Opportunity!

Reviewed by: - Kris Murphy

My daughter is a budding marine biologist, off to college next year, and this was the perfect opportunity for her, and for us. The captains understand dolphin behavior and were able to educate us as well as perfectly place us in the water so we could view them swim by and under us.

They were very respectful of the pod and instructed us on what to do to maximize our experience and not startle the dolphins.

As well we had the opportunity to view some turtles and a vibrant coral reef.

I would highly recommend this adventure.

I was afraid I wouldn't be able to handle it but after the initial nervousness of being submerged, I was able to see all the wonderful sites of colorful fish and sea turtles and my hair didn't even get wet!!!

My teenage daughter and I went on this trip and between the staffs knowledge and enthusiasm and the locations that they took us to, this was an experience we'll never forget. I was concerned that we'd see a few fish and maybe a dolphin or turtle if we were lucky....I was not prepared for the abundance of wild marine life that we got to interract with. This is one of those rare experiences where what you get is WAYYY more than what you pay for. We will absolutely do this again and would highly recommend it to everyone. We would also highly recommend the wetsuit top upgrade....it's very worth it.

This was my second time on Oahu, and the first trip I mostly spent all my time in and around Waikiki. This tour was great in that it got me all the way to the other side of the island for a change of pace.

That side of the island....they called it Kaneohe Bay I think, man, it was beautiful. The water was so clear, and I got to see all kinds of fish I had never seen before too.

I didn't want to spend a ton of money either, and so this was a good deal for the price, as lunch was part of it...and tasted good too! The people were nice and helpful, and the sandbar was probably my favorite part. Good tour.

OK, there was a pod of 200 dolphins swimming all around our boat - which was a trip, sunset views were awesome - you won't see a sunset like this one in Waikiki, believe me I went one TWO sailing trips in Waikiki last week, which were great too ... but on this trip we actually saw the sun slip away behind the ocean horizon. The crew was so friendly and chill and accommodating ... no pressure ... no trying to shamelessly sell you stuff, actually, Captain Patrick shared all the free stuff to do along the coast, we saw the Black Pearl from Pirates of the Caribbean and the new Disney hotel too. The snorkeling was great! The food was simple and healthy and tasty! Yum! I understand that this is a newer tour so we only had about 18 people on a 49 capacity boat .... so lots of room to stretch out and get some tanning done. Thank you all at the Ocean Joy for such an amazing experience! We will be back the Kai oli oli again!!

We seen so many dolphins and we were even fortunate enough to see Bottlenose Dolphins which are much much bigger than the frequent spinner dolphins. Bottlenose Dolphins do not come around the islands very often so this was a real treat, maybe even a once in a lifetime opportunity!!

The crew was very friendly and they held my sister's hand in the water because she is afraid of sea animals. But ONCE she put her mask on and placed her head under the water, it was a whole different world for her filled with beautiful colored fish and a huge reef system that surrounded her.

Wonderful crew, Tasty food, everyone on-board was really friendly and after a nice dip out in the deep blue ocean, you are treated to an open bar. Great Stuff! Thank you Hawaiiactivities.com and Ocean Joy Cruises for a wonderful dolphin watch and cruise!
