Captain Bruce Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkel & Private Speed Boat Rental
Excellent choice
Reviewed by: T. Le, 2024/04/22My family and I (2 adults, 2 children) had a great time exploring the sandbar and reef area with our captain/tour guide. We learned a lot about the history of the sandbar as well as got to enjoy the water and sandbar area. We got lucky with the weather since it rained earlier in the day. The provided snacks and musubis were excellent. We were sad when it ended, but brought back many memories.

Semi-Private Waikiki Turtle Snorkel Tour - Island Splash Speed Boat Adventure
Amazing-
Reviewed by: Dr. Moore, 2023/09/27Snorkeling is a family favorite and we booked a tour with Island Splash Tours as part of a birthday celebration. It was such an absolute pleasure going out with Captain Preston and Alex. We are in Hawaii fairly often and are looking forward to future tours with them. We really appreciated their knowledgeable approach to staying safe and making it fun for all of us. It was much more of a private experience compared to the tours we have taken on the larger boats and it made it all the more special. Everything from helping us select the best time of day to making sure everyone had a wonderful experience was done with such thoughtfulness and professionalism. A “little bird” even told Captain Preston about a family song that he made a point to play as we can back into the harbor. We all felt spoiled and loved every moment of our tour. As a Navy family we also really appreciate the military discount he offers. Completely recommend Island Splash Tours to anyone thinking about a boat or snorkeling tour!!

Semi-Private Waikiki Turtle Snorkel Tour - Island Splash Speed Boat Adventure
Fun and personalized trip! Great crew and boat- very knowledgeable and friendly- great eye for pointing out sea life!!
Reviewed by: KimH, 2023/09/21We had a great time on our trip with a Island Splash Tours! The captain and crew were very knowledgeable, fun, and very safety conscious.
We had a very peaceful morning out at turtle canyons- heading out we got a great view of Waikiki from the water, which was beautiful! We saw a lot of turtles, and even had some dolphins swimming right next to the boat on our way back!
I highly recommend this company and their tours. Their semi-private tours make for such a fun, relaxing, and personalized experience!

Semi-Private Waikiki Turtle Snorkel Tour - Island Splash Speed Boat Adventure
Best Snorkel Tour on Oahu
Reviewed by: Shak Serdani, 2023/09/17Book this tour now! You can check around for other tours but you are wasting your time. Island Splash Tours is the best! Me and my girlfriend had a blast with Preston and Kris. Very private experience! Only us and one other group onboard. They are very safety oriented and make sure that everyone is having a good time. We saw so many turtles, too many to count. Kris found us an octopus and a collector urchin.
Glad you enjoyed your tour with us! Mahalo!

North Shore Snorkeling Tour from Haleiwa - Ocean Outfitters Hawaii [Jun - Sep]
Wonderful experience
Reviewed by: Gina L, 2023/06/20I highly recommend booking a snorkeling adventure with Ocean Outfitters! Tyler and Captain Brandon were excellent tour guides! We enjoyed an exhilarating 20 minute boat ride to the rock island where you can climb up and jump off into 25 foot deep waters. While snorkeling, we saw lots a fish, coral, some sea urchins, a sea cucumber, and many dolphins and turtles en route to and from the island. So much fun!

Captain Bruce Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkel & Private Speed Boat Rental
Awesome day!
Reviewed by: Max family , 2023/03/17We rented a private speedboat. First, my apologies for most likely misspelling your name, Kaikoa or Keoke? Again, my apologies but me, my hubby and his mom had the best experience and truly enjoyed the day just talking with you about Hawaii and seeing all the wonderful wildlife when snorkeling. We also wanted to say thank you for being so kind and hospitable and putting up with our 20 questions about Hawaii life and thank you so much for sharing! Sending good vibes and hope you and your family are prosperous and happy. A thousand times Mahalo!
Hello, thank you so much for chartering our boat tour at the Kaneohe Sandbar. We are so happy that you and your family had the wonderful time. We will make sure to deliver your message to our captain Kekoa :) Again, thank you very much for your kind words, and your time for this review. We hope we can take you to the bay again. Mahalo

Captain Bruce Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkel & Private Speed Boat Rental
Incredible Time
Reviewed by: Tom, 2023/03/16Many moons ago I visited the sandbar and knew I needed to come back again. It took me 10 years but finally made it!!
I ponied up the cheddar for the private speed boat and for me it was perfect. Captain K was so attentive to my family. (My daughter tripped in the parking lot within 20 seconds of meeting him). He bandaged her up. Taught us about the geography of the bay. Went out of his way to find us some turtles at the end.
My 5 year old had the time of her life with all the fish! Snorkeling was amazing. All the toys already out on the sandbar were amazing.
10 out of 10. Will do again next time in Oahu.
On behalf of Capt. Bruce, we thank you so much for your feedback and loving support! We look forward to seeing you again in the near future.
A Hui Hou!

ホエールウォッチングクルーズ スリルと爽快さを兼ね備えたスピードボートでクルージング 手つかずのサンゴ礁が残る海でのシュノーケリング付き＜午後／西オアフ発＞
クジラやイルカ、ウミガメが泳ぐ原始の海を水面近くで体感！
Reviewed by: moto, 2023/02/28家族4人でレンタカーに乗って現地入りしました。子供がシュノーケリング未経験のため少し早めに行き、ウェットスーツのサイズを決めたり道具の使い方を教えてもらいました。スタッフの方々は皆さんとても親切でした。独自のボートはホエールウォッチングクルーズの中でも最も水面に近く生き物の動きや様子をとても近くで感じることができました。海洋生物に関する解説も専門的であると感じました。最後はそこに飛び込んでシュノーケリングを楽しめるので、他のホエールウォッチングツアーでは体験できない楽しさがあると思いました。初のハワイでしたが、次行った時もこの会社の少人数で体感型のツアーに参加したいと思いました。

Captain Bruce Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkel & Private Speed Boat Rental
Relaxing Saturday afternoon
Reviewed by: Yes to Hawaii, 2022/09/29Loved this trip! Kaneohe sandbar is one of the most beautiful spots on the island. Our captain was friendly and gave us a bit of history of the area on the boat ride to the sandbar. We loved the private option, just the Captain & 6 of us total. It was great to have our own space. We brought some floats and had a relaxing afternoon.
Thank you so much for kind words and sharing your experience with the Capt. Bruce tour.
We're very pleased to hear whole family had a great time on the turtle watching & snorkeling tour.
Your feedback is greatly appreciated!
Please come back again. Mahalo!

Captain Bruce Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkel & Private Speed Boat Rental
Great experience for the whole family
Reviewed by: Stefanie , 2022/06/18We booked the trip for 4 people age 22-67. While the younger ones went on a private guided snorkeling tour and saw a lot of turtles the seniors could wander around the sand bar, take a floatie or hang out on the boat. Small snacks, soft drinks and water were provided. As well as snorkeling gear, floaties and a SUP. We had an amazing time time on the sandbar!
Hi, thank you so much for choosing Captain Bruce!
We are so glad to hear that you all had a great time during our tour.
It's lucky that you could see the sea turtles and lots of fishes!
Thank you very much again for your time to post a review. We hope we can take you to the Kane'ohe Bay again!

Best experience ever
Reviewed by: Hayu, 2021/08/10I think I came to Hawaii for this. This made me like Hawaii! The first thing I did after iClouding every video of dolphins was buying a shirts that says i love hawaii. I saw so many dolphins and knew that they are much more adorable than i have thought of. They are very curious that they circle around humans, and come really close to boat.

Must do
Reviewed by: Jessica, 2019/04/14Very memorable experience. We enjoyed it and would go again, they do not teach you how to snorkel so I would look up tutorials before you go. Just so you can get more out of it. They have a photographer on board that takes pictures you can pay for.

West Oahu Snorkel Cruise, Marine Life & Dolphin Watch Expedition from Waianae
Definitely worth the 5:30 am pickup
Reviewed by: Mike, 2019/02/18Don’t worry about the early pickup to get you to the west side of Oahu. After swimming with dolphins and seeing at least 10 whales including a mother and calf, you will be wide awake. Sleeping is for the shuttle back home after such a fun-filled adventure. Do it, you won’t regret it!
Mahalo Mike for your kind feedback. We hope to see you guys again, bright and early. :) Lisa

Captain Bruce Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkel & Private Speed Boat Rental
最高でした！
Reviewed by: Yumimin, 2018/08/22まずは、ボートで数分走って、サンドバーを散歩しながら説明を聞いたり写真撮影などをします。
プライベートなので、人の少ない所に連れて行ってもらえるため、写真撮影では他の人が映らない景色をたくさん撮影することができました。そのあと、サンドバーの近くにあるシュノーケリングスポット(ちょうど水深が深くなるところ)に移動して、希望者はシュノーケルをしました。大きな魚がたくさんいました。
お腹がすいてきたので、船上でランチです。同じツアー会社の大人数を乗せる船も催行しており、そこで焼いたカルビやソーセージも頂き、最後は、ウォーターアクティビティーを楽しみました。３時間は長すぎるかと思いきやあっという間に楽しい時間が過ぎ去ってしまいましたが、非常によい思い出になりました。
昼食用のごはんや飲み物は、とっても美味しく満足のいく量があります。お酒を3缶持っていき、氷がたくさん入ったアイスボックスで冷やしてもらいもらえました。
シュノーケルセットは、透明度が高く海の中がくっきり見え、視力が弱くても海の中ではきれいに見えます。
6人いるなら絶対にプライベートボートがおすすめです。
さわやかで優しい日本人女性ガイドさんと、若々しく機転を利かせながらもてなしてくれるキャプテンの２名が、きめ細やかな対応をしてくださいました。写真もたくさん撮影してくださるし、子供のわがままにも応えてくれ(早く次に行きたい、あれがやりたいなど)ました。シュノーケルする前に、シュノーケリングの基本を教えてくださり、ガイドさんは常にライフセーバー用の浮き棒をもってシュノーケルのところまで一緒に来てくださるので、いつでも安心です。本当にどうもありがとうございました！
アロハ！キャプテンブルース貸し切りツアーご参加ありがとうございました。
Yumimin様のレポート、自分のところのツアーなのになんかドキドキワクワクして参加したくなっちゃいました（笑）。
またぜひ遊びにいらして下さいね。マハロ！

Highly recommend!
Reviewed by: Trevor Stokes, 2018/06/04Great family excursion! Absolutely fantastic trip with knowledgeable, informative and passionate crew. Friendly and relaxed. Swam with dolphins twice and saw several sea turtles. Our captain even found a second pod of dolphins so we could see another type. Watched spotted dolphins leaping into the air in our wake and even spotted a reef shark! Can't recommend highly enough!

West Oahu Snorkel Cruise, Marine Life & Dolphin Watch Expedition from Waianae
Possibly the most memorable experience on our trip!
Reviewed by: Sandy R, 2018/05/14This trip exceeded my expectations. We swam with dolphins several times. One pod consisted of 16 dolphins. And we probably saw 50 green sea turtles. Outstanding! The crew went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great experience. I was saying good bye to my pictures as my camera sank into the coral below. Then Paul dove at least 25 feet underwater to retrieve it. Who could have expected this amount of attention? . As a bonus, he made his pictures available for everyone on board. Thank you, thank you!
