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

All Female crew was AMAZING!!!

Reviewed by: Krys C , 2021/09/18

So happy we chose Captain Bob’s sandbar and snorkel Tour … the crew, the views, the experience… it was all AMAZING!! The crew was very attentive and when we went out to snorkel, the water was a little choppy, they made sure to come over and help anyone that looked like they needed even a little bit of help! The water volleyball at the sandbar was also super fun!!

Shark Diving Hawaii - Cageless Pelagic Snorkel Tour with FREE Photos & Videos

Don't come to Oahu and not experience this adventure!!! It's worth the entire visit

Reviewed by: Jacquelyn , 2021/09/17

Amazing experience with these spectacular creatures that don't get the credit they deserve. This tour was definitely an eye opener and will give participants a far better and more educated perspective about not only the shark population but several others as well. Thank you IslandView Inc and the 3 guides who made the experience far more sensational than I suppose I was expecting.
The lead guys name was Sam but unfortunately, I don't recall the other two who were out in the water with us and taking photos. They absolutely made this adventure outstanding for us all!! You guys are awesome. I'll be back!!!

Captain Bruce Kaneohe Sandbar Cruise with SUP, Guided Snorkel & Transportation

Worth It

Reviewed by: Gary, 2021/09/16

We booked this one instead of the self kayaking to the Sandbar, and it was definitely worth it. If you want the relaxing and chill experience, and have fun, book this one. Our captain/crew was super nice and great. They take you to the sandbar, which is super beautiful, and you hangout there for about 1-2 hours, they provide you with boards and water equipments so you don't have to bring your own. The snorkeling was pretty cool too, didn't see any turtles though but still beautiful and great experience.

Kaneohe Bay Kayak & Snorkel Self-Guided Tour [Tour Not Available]

Don't take small children.

Reviewed by: Mom of 4, 2021/09/16

We had a party of 6, 2 adults, 14yo, 10 yo, 7yo, and 5 yo. We took 3 tandem kayaks. Wish we could have done 2 since the younger 2 were basically extra weight! The guide did not show good snorkeling so the tedious paddle to the sand bar was not exciting for the family.

Waikiki Snorkel with Turtles Cruise with Beers & Cocktails - Ke Kai Catamaran

Catamaran boat out to snorkel with sea turtles.

Reviewed by: liz, 2021/09/14

The crew was friendly and talkative. We had never been snorkeling and they made it easy and comfortable. The area where we went there are multiple boats and people, that is not a poor reflection on this tour, but we didn't realize so many people would be in the same place. We did see turtles!! and fish and the reef. They take little time going back so you can get pictures with the view.

One Ocean Diving Hawaii Shark Dive on Oahu & Snorkel Tour Experience

Amazing & above expectations!

Reviewed by: Jon, 2021/09/09

This experience was AMAZING! At peak, I counted 12 sharks swimming around & below us. A few of the large ones came level with us to check us out! It was intimidating & inspiring! Plus, there just happened to be a large barracuda where we anchored who seemed as curious by us as we were of the sharks!
I'll admit that I was intimidated at the thought of being cageless. When I saw the barracuda at the nose of the ship I was all the more intimidated. But, this was why I did cage-free, i wanted to stomp this fear/intimidation.
We were in the water for a long time (I think 30 to 40min). At around 20min I decided to let go of the ship & just swim around a bit with the sharks & the barracuda! I cannot describe the full experience. It was amazing being in a "foreign land" (the ocean) with these incredible creatures!
I got my money's worth & more and I absolutely will do another cage-free dive next time I visit! I've found a new love with this experience!
Also, the three employees who led our escapade were great, interactive, & friendly.
I highly recommend people bring a go-pro & selfie stick. Also, let go of the boat, even if briefly.

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

Great experience all around - even with COVID-restrictions

Reviewed by: Ivona , 2021/09/07

We did a quick Hawaii trip from Dallas over the Labor Day weekend 2021 and only had 4 days, so our time for excursions was limited, however we are so glad we decided to do Captain Bob's Kanehoe Sandbar excursion.
The crew was super friendly and helpful, the boat ride was fun, with beautiful views throughout and the sandbar was an absolute highlight. The burgers & beer were good. During the snorkeling part we got lucky and see not only a ton of turtles (one swam right underneath us while we were snorkeling), but also a group of manta rays and of course tons of colorful fish.
Money very well spent for the value and experience received. If I could change anything at all, I would maybe spend a little more time at the sandbar itself and less time snorkeling, but that's just a personal preference - again, the tour was great. It could also be fun to offer this experience on certain days for adults only.

  • View of our boat from the Sandbar

  • Cool burger set up on the boat

  • Turtle sighting

2.5-Hour Turtle Snorkel Tour with One Cocktail - Waikiki Rainbow Sail Catamaran

Turtle canyon snorkel tour

Reviewed by: Sheila, 2021/09/05

We had a great time. Staff was helpful and kind. Waves were choppy but didn't stop us from getting it done!
When you get to the Duke statue look for the rainbow umbrella on the beach. The catamaran is tied up in the water waiting for you. The sail was not up so didn't see the rainbow sail on the catamaran. Check in with the folks at the umbrella and wait patiently for the late comers. We had approx 25 people on our tour and it was just right. Not over crowded but not spacious either.
They took us out about 15 mins off Waikiki shore to a place called Turtle Canyon. There were several other boats and craft out there doing the same thing. But it did not interfere with us.
We saw plenty of fish and 1 turtle. Fun was had by all. For the price you can't beat this tour. I am a frequent visitor to Oahu and would bring more friends on this tour again. Coming back next year with a different group and will suggest it again for them. Great for beginners and intermediate snorkelers.

Captain Bruce Kaneohe Sandbar Cruise with SUP, Guided Snorkel & Transportation

Best vacation activity I did during my vacation

Reviewed by: LAuago, 2021/09/05

Captain Bruce’s turtle snorkel tour was the best activity I’ve ever done in O’ahu. They were also really nice and fun! The sandbar was awesome and I saw turtles, fish, coral , and other marine life. They provided refreshments and light snacks like chips, fruit. I would do this again. And please wear reef safe sunscreen to help protect the coral and ocean animals.

Reviewed by: jojo, 2021/09/02

The crew was very knowledgeable and approachable. the entire activity was fun! You won't even realize 4 hours had passed by until they turn the boat around. the food was good and we enjoyed the beer they had on board as well. Because of Capt. Bob's we met new people who we had drinks later that night. it was a very fun filled with activities I have never tried before. My favorite was the snorkeling part since it was my first time and of course, Hawaii did not fail to show me the beauty of the underwater!

This tour was amazing! The crew and captain was very knowledgeable, extremely nice and friendly, and funny. The Captain did all he could do to attract the sharks for us and the safety divers made sure we felt safe in the water and had everything we needed. It was a little choppy, but that part was out of their control, so I'm good with it! Overall, 10 out of 10!!
