Awesome Day! - It was fantastic. We took a taxi it was about 45 min from Waikiki but there's also a bus. We went out, saw some sea turtles then headed to sandbar. Excellent place to swim, snorkeling and water sports available like kayak, floaty and paddle board. Mountains in the background it does not get prettier. Great crew.

Family fun for all ages - What fun for everyone! We were the oldest on the boat, but it didn't matter. The staff was there to make the best experience for everyone. Swimming in the warm water and playing with the water toys was just the warm-up. Snorkeling with the fish and sea turtles was the climax! And there were great snacks and drinks. So glad we chose to take the trip!

Sun, sea and laughter! - We booked this last minute for the final day of our trip after being disappointed we couldnt get into Hanauma Bay due to it being closed throughout our trip and, I must say, we are so pleased we did! This trip was fantastic and a great way to spend our final day - lots of fun, laughing and sunshine in the middle of the sea! The team (sorry, cannot remember names but lady captain was fantastic!) were all great and very helpful and knowledgable. We saw some turtles on the way to the sandbar which was a nice surprise and then spent the first hour splashing around on paddle boards, floats etc which was a lot of fun. The second part was to snorkel as a group which, as a good but not great swimmer, was very reasuring and I was able to really enjoy with my husband knowing there was a team with us to make sure we were all having a great time and staying safe. The crew provided snacks and refreshments as well which were greatly received. Great tip as well that the small shop at the harbour sells dole whip - a lovely treat to finish the trip! All in all, a fantastic time and so pleased we ended up joining you for our last day - thank you!

Definitely a Must Do while in Oahu. - I have been to Hawaii numerous times and I cannot believe I have never done this. The staff were amazing and so friendly. They provide snacks and all the fun ocean items you need! The views are breathtaking and the trip was a 10/10

Great service, tons of fish! - Very organized trip. The crew was super fun and pleasant. The sandbar was beautiful. Water at the sandbar was standing-depth (for adult) and calm when we were there. The reef was beautiful with lots of different kinds of fish. We were worried based on some of the other reviews that there might not be much to see for snorkeling. Maybe we just went at a good time, but it was definitely one of the better snorkeling experiences we’ve had. No fins were provided, but the water was so calm you really didn’t need one. If you’re a weak swimmer, they have body boards with a transparent hole you can look through. There were also paddle boarding and floats. We didn’t participate because we spent the whole time snorkeling. I would 100% recommend!

Great and relaxing chance to snorkel and play in the ocean - Great experience. Crew was extremely knowledgable and helpful. We were able to observe sea turtles in the open sea and in the reef. Ample opportunity to snorkel and staff helps to guide you and show you a lot of cool species. The sandbar is very relaxing but you might run into some dead coral/rock so watch where you step. When done with snorkeling you can tube, paddle board, and hang out on the boat with snacks and refreshments. Staff is very friendly and make good conversation. It was our first excursion and a great way to get acclimated to the ocean.

Captain Bob’s Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkeling Tour – 5 Stars! - Captain Bob’s Sandbar Snorkeling Tour was hands down one of the highlights of our trip to Oahu! From start to finish, the experience was unforgettable. The crew was absolutely amazing—friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone was safe while still having a blast. They brought such a fun and laid-back energy to the whole day. The sandbar was stunning, with crystal-clear water and plenty of time to explore, relax, and take photos. The snorkeling was also fantastic—we saw colorful fish and even a sea turtle! And let me tell you about the food. The BBQ lunch was delicious, fresh, and just what we needed after swimming and snorkeling. Everything was well-organized and the atmosphere on the boat was so much fun. I highly, highly recommend this tour if you’re visiting Oahu. Whether you’re with family, friends, or traveling solo, this is an experience you don’t want to miss. Mahalo to Captain Bob’s crew for an amazing day!

Had an amazing time! So... - Had an amazing time! So nice to be in the middle of the ocean and be able to stand. Was our first time snorkeling and the Captain made sure we were comfortable before heading out to deeper waters. Wonderful crew and a perk is drinks and snacks are provided.
