Kaneohe Bay Kayak & Snorkel Self-Guided Tour [Tour Not Available]
We would love to do it again!
Reviewed by: Sharon
The staff was friendly and gave clear instructions. We had a great time as family. At the beginning we were afraid since it was our first time; however, we managed to get to the sand bar. While in the water, we found another person who was very nice to help us get there. Thanks so much!
Thanks!

Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkel & BBQ Lunch with Free Transportation
One of the highlights of my trip!!
Reviewed by: Lori
We had a great time on Captain Bob's Kaneohe Bay Sandbar Snorkel & BBQ Lunch tour! Everything about the trip was well planned and very organized! The sandbar was a great experience because you are walking in shallow water in the middle of a bay!! The snorkeling was my favorite part. The reef that we snorkeled on was crescent shaped. Being the crew did such a great job of watching us - I was able to swim around the entire sight without being in fear of danger. It was such a peaceful experience! I even had a turtle swim right under me! I he was just about a foot underneath! The lunch was perfect and delicious. It was cooked right on the boat while we were on the sandbar!
A need touch that I appreciated was that they had laundry baskets underneath the seats on the boat. We kept out belongings in them and this kept them from getting all wet and sandy!
Thank you, so much for a wonderful time!!!!

Kaneohe Bay Kayak & Snorkel Self-Guided Tour [Tour Not Available]
Fun times on the water!
Reviewed by: Oll fam.
5 adults and 1 5 year old. Only one person with experience on the water via dragon boating.
Becky checked us in and let us know the water conditions weren’t good for beginners at 8am, we had to pass the time for 90 minutes but it made it worth it.
Joey helped set us up with pfds and the kayaks and answered all of our questions. We had a ton of questions. Joey was awesome.
We had a 4 hour block but we called it a day after 2 hours on the water, we saw some turtles, inconspicuous sea cucumbers and a lot of reefs.
We brought our own dry bags but you can rent from them as well. You can also rent snorkeling equipment.
Aloha! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure! And thank you for taking the time to leave such a great review. That really means a lot to us and we appreciate it very much. Hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!

Waikiki Guided Turtle Snorkel Tour with Snacks & Drinks - Holokai Catamaran
Great Crew
Reviewed by: Caren Wise
We really enjoyed our snorkeling trip with Holokai Catamaran. The crew was very attentive, funny and friendly. They made a point to make sure we saw turtles while we were in the water, and they periodically asked if we were doing ok or needed help with anything throughout the cruise. Any cautionary instructions that they gave us were very warm and polite, not bossy or curt which was especially nice for the kids on our trip.
The snorkeling itself was a little disappointing, but it had nothing to do with Holokai. We just happened to go at a time of year that was really busy. There were several other tour boats snorkeling in the same spot, so the water was crowded. It was a little stressful navigating around other snorkelers and trying to avoid getting a flipper in your face. But again the Holokai crew was in the water with us doing their best to make sure we were seeing turtles and fish.
After snorkeling, the crew let us jump off the boat and swim freely in the water. After that they put up the sails and took us for a super fun ride out past Diamond Head. That was definitely our kids’ favorite part of the experience.
Thank you to Holokai for making the this excursion fun and exciting for our families.

Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkel & BBQ Lunch with Free Transportation
Worth it!
Reviewed by: Dsg
As a family of four with two teens, we had an excellent time with Mike and his team! The pickup site at aloha landing at Sheraton Waikiki was easy to find and they were on time at 9:15 am. It was a short trip to kaneohe Bay and then we transferred to the boat to the sandbar. When we arrived it was fairly breezy, the water was about mid thigh. For those with sensitive feet good to bring slipper socks and since a bit cool, a long sleeved rash guard was helpful. We explored the sandbar which is 6 mi long and there was a volleyball as well. The lunch was super delicious hamburgers, beans, chips and drinks. We saw a few turtles, then headed to the reef. Two of us snorkeled And we were given snorkel gear, flippers and life vests. We were given about an hour or maybe less but it seemed ample time to go around the entire reef! We saw a lot of fish! When we got back on the boat they poured warm water on us and we also drink hot chocolate which was nice. Two in our family stayed in the boat and they still enjoyed watching from the boat, plus they took our pics so that was nice. Everyone was courteous, great customer service. I would definitely go again when we come back to Oahu!!

Crew and boat were great. Snorkeling spot was just ok. Saw 2 big turtles and a few fish and poor visibility. Very crowded in the water with people pushing into to you and kicking you in the face with their fins. Lunch was very poor. No choice of
Meat/cheese. Best part was the bag of chips! Mai tais had no alcohol. Save your money not worth it. Today, I saw more turtles when I was surfing by the hotel.

We loved everything about this experience - the crew was extremely informed and friendly.
- our 21-24 year old kids stayed back to chat with the crew for 20 minutes after we came back on shore and came away with so many tips and recommendations.
We saw 3 turtles and so many fish! On our way back we had the complimentary cocktails and great music.
For $66 a head it was the most cost effective option around. We would love to do it again and we highly recommend it.

First time snorkeling and it was great!
Reviewed by: Shaz
I booked this excursion for my 14 yr old son and me, it was our first time snorkeling. My son was a bit anxious before we boarded, he gets a bit weary when it comes to deep ocean water. The entire crew made us feel comfortable and welcome. We got up close and personal (keeping a healthy distance of course) with several turtles. The crew pointed out where the turtles were so we could have the best viewing position. All in all it was a memorable experience and the highlight of our trip for my son.

I cannot say enough great things about this experience! We spent the day listening to music, playing volleyball on the sandbar, snorkeling and swimming with turtles. It was absolutely amazing. They grilled burgers, provided drinks and the crew was super funny. Not only was the crew funny but we lost our GoPro in the water while snorkeling and they ended up going back the next day and diving for it - and they found it! Thank you to the amazing crew, we will definitely be back!!

Awesome day spent with this tour! The sandbar and views were very beautiful. Lunch was very good, we had burgers which they cooked on the grill on the boat while we were hanging out at the sandbar, came with drinks and chips which was very filling. After we went turtle watching and saw SO many turtles, definitely more than 10! The kids were very excited to see them. Also saw many fishes at the snorkeling sight, tour guides were very helpful and safety was their number 1 priority.

Turtle Canyon Snorkel Cruise from Ala Wai Harbor - Pink Sails Waikiki
Not Much To See
Reviewed by: BeeKae
The worst snorkel tour I’ve ever been on as far as what a person was able to see under the water. My husband didn’t see a single fish. The kids and I saw two species. A black fish and a striped fish..literally two fish of each kind. Water is too cloudy to see much. I don’t believe there is really much to see even if the water were clear. No reef in sight. Way too many tourists from about 5 different boats all dropped off to snorkel at the same spot so people are constantly getting in each other’s way. I never saw a turtle except the one from the boat when we first pulled up. BEST part was the crew and the sail after the snorkel. The crew was wonderful. Brandon was super funny. Ryan and Mike both nice guys. They all work hard. Maybe it was just a poor day at sea for seeing much in the water, but I wouldn’t do it again. A sunset sail with them would be great since the sailing was the best part and the crew is awesome. But if you’re hoping to see a lot of fish and turtles while snorkeling, don’t expect it here. Wish I could get a refund.
