Awesome experience! The crew were all knowledgeable and helpful, and they made everything so seamless! We even saw sea turtles and were able to spend some extra time snorkeling around them! Only con is that the location may be hard to find. They're located at the very back of the parking lot, and check in is on the actual boat along the deck. Would 100% recommend!

We had a great time! We saw several sea turtles (including a baby) getting their spa treatment. Then, we went for a nice sail, enjoying our drinks and snacks.

We took the morning tour and we got a lot of time to snorkel and hung out with 3 sea turtles (with a safe distance away of course!). I appreciate how our local staff emphasized the importance of keeping safe the reef & the animals who call the ocean home. We got access to paddle boards and delicious coffee! Thanks again for a great time!

when we went to check-in, they told us to wait for 2 hours because it's too windy. Our check-in time was at 8am and we had to wait until 10:30am. I would absolutely not recommend going in the morning because this side of island is very windy, rainy, and weather cannot be expected at all. Weather app tells you it won't rain but it spontaneously rains, especially in the morning. Also, water doesn't get high enough to kayak or snorkel in the morning often because of this. I don't even understand why they even have morning session to book tho. They totally could've sent us an email in the morning before we arrive, so that we don't have to wait there doing nothing for 2 hours, which was very unfortunate. Anyway, we waited and did kayaking and self-snorkeling, which I also hoped there was an instructor leading the kayaking or snorkeling but wasn't. everything was verbally told and self-learning. (kayak rental staff/instructor was extremely kind, I really liked him. nothing was his fault, it was just more the system how they work was not the best.) They did not recommend to go to sandbar, in fact they say going to sandbar is advanced and do not recommend for first time kayaking people. Then why do they even have it on their activity title? you expect fun kayaking to kaneohe sandbar and beautiful snorkeling, but in reality, we did not get to go to kaneohe sandbar, only coral reefs. overall, I don't regret doing this activity, just wish it was better. Also, 4 hour renting is way enough. we only did about an hour and half and was able to go both reefs and snorkel there. Giving 4 stars only because we went there for our honeymoon activity and it was fun between two of us no matter what, but if not, I wouldn't be much happy and fun with it tho.

From start to end this was a great day on the water! We had a great crew that operated the sandbar excursion flawlessly. On our day we had a bit of rain, however this did not prevent anyone from having fun. The food was great as well as the bar service. I highly recommend Captain Bob's Kaneohe Bay Sandbar Snorkel & BBQ Lunch Boat Tour.

This was one of the top experiences we had while in Hawaii. Crew was awesome and the sandbar was just amazing. Huge plus that it was so organized and there was so many amenities (floaters, snorkel gear, snacks and drinks too). They sent out a list of things to remember to bring which is super helpful as well. Highly recommend.

- Everything was great everyone had a good time.
- We enjoyed the options, it was more of a free time at the sand bar situation. If you don't want to snorkel, they leave you at the boat. But, you'll still have access to the SUP and floaties to play at the sand bar. I spent some extra time with the SUP and tossed a football around with some other guys. You can walk around the sandbar and take more pictures. Someone is always around to make sure everything is ok.
- wife went snorkeling, they kindly ask about your swimming abilities and if you're a weaker swimmer they'll keep an eye on you. I also noticed they proactively hover around families with kids incase they needed help.
Everyone felt safe and comfortable the entire time.
Aloha and Mahalo for your feedback! We look forward to seeing you in the near future.

We booked this somewhat last minute, trying to find a way to spend our final day on Oahu before our late evening flight - and we’re so glad we did! The crew was terrific - friendly, funny, and safety-conscious. The sandbar was a cool experience with clear water. The tour company provides plenty of floats and paddle boards to occupy everyone, and the snorkel portion of the visit was terrific! We saw plenty of turtles and fish, and it wasn’t terribly crowded. Definitely recommend!
Aloha Faulkner! We're so glad you're able to squeeze us in to join us on your last day at the sandbar. Thank you very much for choosing Capt. Bruce Mahalo!

I've been to Oahu many times and had always wanted to go to the sandbar but didn't get the chance to until now.
I booked the morning tour on July 8th of this year, and boy it was a beautiful day. It was cloudy the day I arrived in Oahu so I was worried about the weather.
Captain Bruce had 2 boats full of tourists out that day. We didn't meet Captain Bruce. Instead we got Captain Robin and his assistant Irvin.
Both men were so nice and helpful. They let you go off on your own, but at the same time, kept an eye on you from a distance, to make sure you don't hurt yourself or get in trouble when you're out in the water.
There were lots of watersports to do, all provided free of charge. Chips and non-alcoholic beverages were also provided free of charge.
I had a wonderful time.
The views were stunning anywhere you look. I want to go back there again. I will pick them again. Their price is cheaper compared to the others, and the staffs are awesome friendly people.
It bothered me that many people left without tipping the crew. That was not cool.
Aloha Kat, Thank you very much for the compliments. We're hopping to see you back again. Mahalo!

Such a fantastic experience for someone whose never been snorkeling before. Great for beginners and family friendly! Rain comes and goes but the sandbar and the ocean was still warm and beautiful. I would like to thanks Trevor for helping me overcome my fear of the ocean overall. Lol. Without him I wouldn’t have gone beyond the sandbar. You rock!! I had the pleasure of seeing turtles, small colorful fishes, and of course the beautiful reef. Thank you Captain Bruce for such a great hospitality. I will definitely come back with a group of families in the near future!

We went out on a cloudy morning accompanied by showers. The waves were choppy too. The sandbar was beautiful despite the weather, didn’t see any turtles on the sandbar but my daughter and husband who went with the snorkeling group saw turtles by the reef. The current was stronger there though but Kevin, the tour guide made sure everyone was safe. There was not enough paddle boards nor floaties for everyone on board and some groups hugged theirs till the end. We shared our paddle board with another couple. Trevor was okay but he tended to give attention to certain groups whereas Kevin was the one whom I have noticed that was attentive to everyone.
Aloha Mitch, we're very sorry for the disappointment for not being able to see the turtles. Mostly they are in the reef area, sometimes it can be seen around the boat. Hopefully on your next visit, you'll see more turtles

We took the free transportation that was offered, which was great.
Got to the boat and quickly got out in the bay. We had TONS of time at the sand bar. I recommend bringing a floatie or ball of ton want. We joined in with the volleyball they brought which was so fun! We stayed there during lunch so when we were done eating we went back out.
Saw more sea turtles than I can count! Even saw some on the sand bar.
Snorkeling we had plenty of time and all equipment was provided.
Definitely one of the best excursions we did while there. We definitely do it again!

While the tour itself was great- we did see dolphins and turtles- this company has no regard for covid protocols. They pick you up and I asked prior to see if they enforced masks on the bus- as that is the law. They assured me they were. When we got picked up the driver wasn’t wearing a mask! When I asked him he basically ignored me. Half the passengers weren’t. My family double masked but with no windows open it was very unsafe. If you want a safe experience- I would not pick this company.
