I think this rental may be great if someone in your party is familiar with kayaking in Kaneohe Bay, because a guide does not go out with you. Also, we were snorkeling in one of the spots designated on the map we were given and swam right into a group of Portuguese Man 'O War just past the reef. We were stung pretty badly and had to cut our excursion short. We weren't warned about this in advance and saw other folks going out to potentially the same location without warning.

From booking this experience to actual having the experience was AWESOME! Whether you're a beginner or a pro kayaker this is a super majestic and beautiful area to experience kayaking. The staff was super friendly and very knowledgeable of the area & scenic snorkel spots to paddle too. All the snorkel equipment is included in the rental. I recommend this place highly.
Aloha! Thank you so much for joining us for a day on the bay, and thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive review for us! We really appreciate that. Hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!

This was fun. Not to hard to get out to the sandbar and the scenery is amazing. For someone that has never kayaked before this was a great first time. My group agreed that we would do this activity again.

After much research about all the different snorkeling excursions we decided to go with this one. Overall the entire experience was great. Captain Bob , Mike and the rest of the crew were extremely accomodating and courteous. The food hit the spot and the service was great.. This excursion even included transportation to and from hotel at No additional cost. I would definitely do this again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a snorkeling adventure.

The trip was amazing. Boat crew was friendly and made the trip special for everyone. Being in the water cage free and being able to see the magnificent Galapagos sharks silently glide in and out of view was an experience I will remember for a life time. I will do this again next time I’m in on island.

First time taking the Surf Bus. Driver was on time. He was knowledgeable. Didn't like his attitude at first because he had a way of making you feel foolish but at the end, he turned out to be a nice guide. My family and I did the waterfall hike and kayaking. The waterfall hike was timed for three hours. It was a beautiful hike through Waimea Valley seeing tropical plants and birds. To my surprise, the waterfall was smaller than I thought. There were too many people swimming already and it was only 10am. My kids did not want to swim because of the amount of people in the water. Even after the hike, and the waterfall and even ate lunch at the cafe, three hours was too much. It could've been spent doing other activities. We went kayaking in the afternoon. My family enjoyed that even though we didn't see any turtles. We were disappointed that we couldn't walk to town and get shaved ice because the line was too long. All in all, my family had a decent time.

This tour was fantastic. I had no idea Hawaii was used as the backdrop for so many movies and TV shows. Kimo was our tour guide and he was fantastic; very funny and informative. The scenery was fantastic: beautiful mountains and beautiful ocean views all in one place. My 15-year-old sons thought it was an amazing day. Couple of things for future visitors to know: 1) cell service is intermittent. Your phone searches when the signal is dropped and this eats up battery life. Bring a power pack with you just in case or a charger (this is especially important for item 2. 2) if you use Lyft or Uber to get out to the Ranch from Waikiki, try to arrange for pick up for the return ahead of time. Uber is nearly twice as expensive as Lyft. There is one Lyft driver, Jane, that picked us up. She actually lives in the area. Otherwise, you will be waiting for a while. So, save some phone battery for the driver search/wait.

Great way to experience the sandbar. Always wanted to go, but didn’t have any way to get there. Fun playing volleyball and snorkeling. Drinks on board was a plus. Loved the fact that the burgers we had on board were cooked on the grill they had on the boat and weren’t dry.

Me and my husband spent a week in Waikiki and didn't plan much, expecting that we could Uber or walk or just find things to do. It wasn't that easy or cheap we soon found out that we should have preplanned our trip better. We found the this activity online and they had availability next day! The crew on Bob's were funny and friendly. The tour itself was breath taking. I would definitely recommend going on this if you want a chance to see the sand bar and get to snorkel in one of the best reefs I've ever seen. My goal of swimming with sea turtles was made real with this tour.

This was one of the best day excursions during our stay in Honolulu. The bus ride to the bay is very comfortable and picks you up right at the time they are supposed to. The staff on the cruise is very helpful as well. If you haven’t ever snorkelled, they are more than willing to help you, teach you and even go with you. The BBQ is delicious and vegetarian options are easily available. They even did a perfect BBQ when it rained on the sea when we were out. Only goes out to say that the staff is super dedicated and professional. The sand bar is a nice place to play volley ball and the snorkeling spot is nice as well. Highly recommended.

Bottom line: This experience was the highlight of our time on Oahu and both of my children (11 and 14) rank it as the most incredible experience of their lives. It really is remarkable.
My 11 year-old was nervous prior to the dive, but her fears were addressed before we even left the harbor. The staff was informative and reassuring. Sam in particular told us exactly what to expect and answered all of our questions. The staff of three on the boat was very respectful toward the ocean and the sharks.
No one tried to up-sell us on products or services during the experience, which was refreshing. The staff took photos of us underwater with sharks and shared them with us at no charge as we returned to the harbor.
You don’t have to be an experienced snorkeler for this... most of our group pretty much floated on the surface the whole time.
Highly, highly recommend. The small group size, informative staff and thrilling experience of freely swimming with sharks was just unbeatable.
Aloha Peter,
We appreciate your wonderful review! We're so happy to hear everyone in your party enjoyed themselves.
Until next time!
Mahalo

Ulike what the description read, there was no in the water. Also, at the end of the ride, we were not allowed to gallop with the horses. Granted, only 1 of us would be considered an advanced rider, but we picked this one solely because of those 2 factors. Very expensive for nothing more than a " Trail Ride " , that basically was along a portion of the beach that has very little public access. If you have never done anything like this before, it would probably make some great memories for you. I however have had Much Better Sunset Beach rides, that I still talk about to this day, this one on the other hand, wont be talked about gery much. Do your research, call ahead & ask questions before you book. Most times, it is the 1 & only shot at a first time, lasting memory

Aloha. I'm sorry to hear that you got stung by Man o War. I know they are a pain. Unfortunately, we cannot predict where they will be any more than we can predict where any other marine life would be. Actually, it's way easier to predict where other kinds of marine life may be, but the Man o War can be anywhere. They just drift with the current. People actually being stung is very rare, so I'm sorry to hear you had the misfortune of coming across one. But I do hope it was clearly advertised that this is an unguided rental and not a guided tour of any kind. Thank you. Hope to see you again, this time with no Man o War encounters.
