The boat was great, the crew were even better, the views and sand bar are just epic. Cannot recommend this tour enough. Super friendly crew, great live music during the transit, and then just an epic time and views at the sand bar. Don't hesitate if you want to have a great experience while on Oahu!

The crew was amazing! They did the utmost to ensure that we saw everything we could on our trip. And although we weren’t late, I saw the captain calling other groups that were, to check on them which I thought was really cool. They really did a great job to take care of our safety and enjoyment! Thanks again!

If you’re researching activities to do and you have made it this far to read this review, then you’re in the right place. Pull the trigger and do this activity. It’s 100% worth it…. I only wish it was a longer period of time!

The boat was clean and the staff were friendly. We saw lots of fish and turtles. We only snorkeled for maybe 30 minutes before it was time to head back. I wish it was a little longer. Also they don’t have snorkles for people with glasses so keep in mind you may need contacts.

The trip was so fun. Our captains were honestly the nicest and friendliest people. So many toys and snorkeling was AWESOME. Got to be up close with a sea turtle. They had drinks and great snacks for us. Honestly, amazing experience and great price. Definitely recommend

The Crew the experience was awesome - The Aloha Vibes was there. All Crew memebers were top notch in entertainment and very nice and fun. They interacted with all the participants made us feel comfortable and enjoyable.
Activities was kool they had a VolleyBall Court, snorkling gears, kayak, Paddle board and if you wanted to get pulled by a yellow banana floater from a boat. Also, they had a barge you can go chill and sun bath. Had music playing and it was great.
Lunch was okay Ham/Turkey Sandwhich, drink and a bag of chips.
There was no alcohol on board so make sure to bring your own.
Plus that day was so beautiful and very minimal wind - 80 degree....
Overall it was awesome and will do it over and over - Love it !!!!

Very happy with this experience. I went with my coworkers and my parents and both party’s enjoyed the sandbar. They had kayaking, paddle boarding, tubing and more which was a great to spend our afternoon. Highly recommend booking this for friends and family.

Family of 5 had a blast. Tour guides were awesome. Felt safe the entire time. We arrived to the sandbar to other guides with SUP, floaties and little floats for my 3 year old to snorkel which was a nice surprise. Would 100% recommend to anyone. Afterwards we enjoyed some Dole Whip at the pier.
Beautiful pictures. Thank you so much for sharing your photos with us. Can get any better weather than this! Mahalo!

This was an AMAZING experience. The crew and the musicians were all super friendly. The sandbar itself was fantastic and absolutely gorgeous. The three primary activities: snorkeling, paddleboarding, and kayaking were all very enjoyable. There was ample time to try out and enjoy each activity at our leisure. During kayaking, we even got to see a sea turtle gliding along the sandbar! Overall, it was an incredible experience and I would definitely do it again.

We absolutely loved the crew. They were friendly, helpful, and seemed to genuinely enjoy their job. The singers were fantastic and entertaining. The Sandbar was gorgeous. There were so many fun things to do and explore once at the Sandbar. It was perfect for our entire family which included young kids, adults, and grandparents. Definitely recommend!

The staff were really nice and the boat ride was cool. It was only 10 minute ride out to the snorkel spot and the drinks are served after the snorkeling, so there wasn't time to have advertised 3 drinks (which is fine, but jut something you should be aware of). The location itself does have sea turtles but the water is fairly deeps and the overall experience (as far as what one would expect) is pretty lack luster. Another tour operator was in the same location and they had a guide pointing out fish, turtles, etc. to ensure everyone got the opportunity to see the marine life, but this tour did not. Also, if you have your own PFD, bring it! My first PFD didn't hold air (a fun surprise) and the second one was at least 1/2 deflated by the time I got out. All in all, it was an okay time but I wouldn't do it again.

I’m glad I did my research in looking for the best turtle and snorkel cruise because this company surpassed my expectations!! The employees were outstanding, wonderful lunch provided and a couple drinks to top it off. We saw turtles, eels, flying fish, and other tropical fish!! Then they took us out farther to find whales after lunch and we did get a few glimpses of some whales:) fun was had by all!!! Thank you !!!!

I attended this cruise with my mother and grandmother, and we all had an absolute blast! The crew members were extremely kind and personally assisted my mother and grandmother throughout the entire snorkeling experience. The music was also such a nice touch, and I loved the energy. Definitely recommend this experience to anyone visiting the area! Busing from Waikiki only takes about an hour or so.

My friend and I had an amazing time. We actually live in Oahu but wanted to do something fun. We were not disappointed! Staff was friendly and attentive. They had local musicians play on our way to and from the sandbar. Lunch was served as soon as we settled in. Ham&turkey croissants, variety of chips and fresh pineapple. So many activities to do, kayaking, SUP, volleyball and staff throwing football around. I tried SUP for the first time. The staff was on hand to give us direction/instructions. They had a life guard on the sandbar at all time.
I cannot wait to have friends visit so I can take them on this excursion.

I was a little hesitant when I initially booked this, just because of the price. But, WOW I was wrong. Such a great experience, the boys on the boat were great to work with and knowledgeable. Drinks were great and just what you want after swimming in the ocean. Would 100% recommend. Thanks for a great time!

This might have been the highlight of my trip. I don't normally like tourist excursions, but this is something I'd be willing to shell money out for. The staff was so nice, welcoming, and caring. The live entertainment was amazing. I hope they're available to do weddings, because they were really talented. It was such an unexpected cherry on top. I loved the diversity of activities available as opposed to having to kayak out to the sandbar, because then you're limited to just one activity. The food wasn't anything to write home about, but the pre-cut pineapple slices were juicy, delicious, and a great snack to have. Anyway, my friends and I have already decided we would probably book again in the future. The sandbar itself is beautiful out there, but going out on a boat makes it a lot more fun. Unsure about the snorkeling aspect b/c would prefer to do that activity elsewhere, so not sure if anyone saw anything.

What a great experience! Our group had two people in their thirties and two in their sixties and everyone had a blast. We saw so many turtles, a few schools of fish and some other unique fish around. Great tour for those wanting to try snorkeling. The staff was amazing too! Although we didn't have kids in our group, the staff was interacting great with those family groups aboard with us.
