    10/10 experience

    We did the Kaneohe sandbar and snorkeling tour. Everyone was super sweet and kind!! My boyfriend and I aren’t the greatest swimmers but all the staff were really attentive and made sure we were safe while still having fun. They give you paddle boards and floaties for the sandbar. We saw a lot of fishes and turtles. One of the staff even gave me granola to feed the fishes. You won’t regret booking a tour with them!

    Amazing Sandbar Excursion August 2024

    We had a fantastic time at the sandbar with Captain Bruce. Even if it rained a bit, we had a lot of fun and an unforgettable experience. We started the boat ride with delicious coffee and spam musubi (miam!). After about 10 min of the boat ride, we saw turtles from the boat. After we got to the sandbar, we played with paddle boards, buoys, volleyball, and water guns. It was not like any average beach day; it was like playing volleyball in the middle of the ocean! The views of the mountains and the ocean are stunning. There are only a few sandbars in the world, and it was great living this experience with Captain Bruce. After the game, we went snorkelling and saw many turtles. I was lucky enough to see a baby turtle wake up. I was able to observe it for at least 5 minutes! There were fish too! If you're uncomfortable snorkelling, buoys are available, and the guides are very reassuring and helpful to beginners.

    Unique and unforgettable tourist activity on the island of Oahu

    We recently took a trip to Oahu. Before leaving, we reviewed various unique things to do/see while on the island, and visiting the sandbar came up on a list. Though we have visited Oahu on several occasions, we had never even heard of the sandbar. When researching this activity, Captain Bruce came up time and again and received excellent reviews. We felt confident to book with this company. They were very accommodating when we had to switch to another day due to a conflict. The whole crew was so friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. We were especially excited to see many sea turtles during the snorkeling portion of the trip, which was a big draw for me. One crew member snorkeled with us and pointed out the turtles. We also saw beautiful fish and coral. The sandbar portion of the tour was very relaxing and enjoyable. They provided us with tubes for floating and paddle boards. This tour was a unique and unforgettable part of our trip. We loved doing something not everyone knows about. We highly recommend Captain Bruce's tour to the sandbar!
