BOB's Hawaii Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Watching Tour
Awesome experience!
Reviewed by: Faustine
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!

Worth the time & money!
Reviewed by: Kait & Sean
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!
Aloha and Mahalo Kait & Sean! We look forward to see you back again.

Reviewed by: Cassidy
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.
Aloha Cassidy, Thank you very much for the compliments.

Captain Bruce Kaneohe Sandbar Cruise with SUP, Guided Snorkel & Transportation
Great Ride to the Sandbar
Reviewed by: MBTSANG
- 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.

Great way to end our trip!
Reviewed by: m Faulkner
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!

A must do if you're visitting Oahu
Reviewed by: Kat
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!

Great for beginners!
Reviewed by: Cecilla (Cece)
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!
Aloha Cece, we're so happy for you. I'm glad you overcome your fear.

I had a great time visiting the Kaneohe sandbar with the Captain Bruce crew. They were very welcoming and provided guidance and supervision during the trip to make sure everyone was safe. I was able to see many turtles and beautiful corals while also enjoying the paddle board provided by the crew. I highly recommend this trip for anyone looking to spend a great morning (or afternoon) to enjoy some of the best nature in Oahu.

Beautiful Sandbar but waves dependent on weather
Reviewed by: Mitch
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

Definitely worth it
Reviewed by: Lindsey
We had a great time on the snorkel trip! The crew was very friendly and helpful and the setup (paddle birds, floaties, etc) was great. We were skeptical at first that we would see any turtles, but one came right up to the boat and swam around with us while we were swimming and then we saw several more on the snorkel trip around the reef. Highly recommend this activity!

Waikiki Morning Turtle Snorkel Sail & Tour from Kewalo Harbor - Hawaii Nautical
Great Cruise
Reviewed by: Rob
The Crew of the Honu Lani was great. Jimmy, the Captain gave clear and informative safety briefing and also snorkeling recommendations. He was very professional and his crew was EVERYWHERE! They were at the stern when we got in and out of the water, at the bar serving beverages, putting out lunch, in the water when we were snorkeling. Crew was Andrea, Alek, Marco and another girl interviewing for a deckhand job. They were all great! Andrea was so nice and helped the passengers nonstop the entire cruise. Alek is the man, (I think Bernie Sanders is his Dad). A friend of mine jumped off the side of the boat and her iWatch came off. This Cat (Alek) jumped in like David Hasselhoff and came up with it on the first dive down. I think he was more surprised than we were, it is a big Ocean. Marco was nice also, sorry guy, did not talk to you much.
Overall, great cruise. 95% great because of the crew!

West Oahu Dolphin Watch & Snorkel Cruise with Lunch, Drinks & Transportation
Nothing special.
Reviewed by: OKM
This excursion was okay at best. Though we were able to see dolphins, which was lovely, the snorkeling was blah. First the company took us south along the island, versus out into the ocean, and guided us snorkeling right by a power plant on the shoreline. There were some pretty fish, maybe 3-4 different species. The coral was not colorful; they informed us that is typical for Hawaii. Friends we have that live on the islands state there are beautiful coral reefs, you just need to know where to find them. Apparently, this company does not know where to find these reefs. The catamaran ride was just lovely, but that's it. Again, nothing special. The crew were fine when talking to us as a group but not one-on-one. Then they seemed guarded and annoyed. I would not recommend this excursion.

The crew was fun and easy going. One of the crew men urged us to do the snorkeling and it was one of the best decisions we made. While on the sand bar 3' of water) we saw a small fish that hung around our family the entire time. It was the coolest thing to experience.
