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.

The best tour!! - I have been on a tour to the sandbar 5 times but this was the first time with Captain Bruce. I regret that each time I didn’t book with Captain Bruce! They were absolutely amazing and friendly. This is the only trip that actually takes you snorkeling to the reef in deep waters not like the other ones where it’s just by the boat. Also, it wasn’t a big group so everyone had so much space to swim freely and enjoy the paddle boards. They had really good snacks and drinks for everyone to enjoy. The captain and his crew educated everyone really well on what to do and if you didn’t know how to snorkel the captain himself went out with you and helped you out. I didn’t have kids with me but the people who did were literally having so much fun because the crew was playing with the kids and making sure they were safe.

Great fun - We all loved this tour! From the 79 year old down to the 7 year old. The snorkeling was fun and so was the time on paddle boards.

Joy and Turtles - Captain Krystal and First Mate Hannah were the absolute best! They found so many turtles and made our day the best day ever! It was insanely beautiful and peaceful to play in the bay with an amazing view of the mountains, snorkel with sea turtles, and simply enjoy life. One of the top 10 days of my life. Would definitely come back to this bay and this tour if I return to Oahu.

I was a little concerned... - I was a little concerned about the cost but was very pleasantly surprised, the staff was awesome and incredibly helpful with our kids during the snorkel and play on the sandbar. I wish I could remember everyone’s names but we were with the group that went on Friday at 12:15 with Ryan and I think the captains name was zen. In any case Ryan was awesome playing with the kids and there was one crew member that was helping with the snorkel tour that helped both of our bigger kids when they started to struggle just a bit in the water. The little spam sushi’s were better than anticipated and the kids left happy and tired as advertised. Highly recommend and we’ll probably use again if and when we come
Back to Oahu.

We had a wonderful time... - We had a wonderful time on the sandbar/snorkeling experience. We were able to see lots of fish and a turtle during the snorkeling portion. It was our first time snorkeling and the team was very helpful and assisted us when needed. The sandbar portion was also fun. There were a lot of water toys and floats for us to enjoy and we even tried paddle boarding. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a fun afternoon activity with friends and family!
