    The best

    Captain Bruce is an absolute MUST DO in Oahu! We had such a great time. Jazmin was one of our crew members and I absolutely loved her — she was wonderful, so friendly, and made the whole experience even better. Brittany was also amazing! Honestly, this was one of those experiences that I almost don’t want to tell too many people about because I don’t want it to get too busy 😂 But I have to give them the credit they deserve. Such a beautiful day, great crew, and an experience we would absolutely do again. Highly recommend Captain Bruce!

    Thank you for letting the secret out anyway! We work hard to keep the boat from feeling crowded, so it means a lot that you almost wanted to keep us to yourself. Thank you for the kind words about Jazmin and Brittany, for joining us, and for taking the time to leave this review. We hope to take you back out to the bay again soon. A hui hou 🌺

    The best way to visit the Kaneohe Sandbar

    The tour at Captain Bruce was the best way to experience the beauty of the Kaneohe Sandbar! It started with the pick up from our hotel and the wonderful driver who pointed out all of the best local eats on our way to the harbor. The ride out was amazing with Captain J stopping to show us a family of honu (turtles). When we arrived, the crew guided us to the sandbar edge to get the best snorkeling views and then helped us with all of the water toys . They were fantastic, the trip was amazing and there was spam musubi!

    A hotel pickup and a driver sharing local favorites on the way to the harbor is one of the little touches we love, so thank you for noticing. We are so glad Captain J's stop to meet the honu family made the ride out so special, and that the crew helped you make the most of the sandbar edge and all the water toys. And yes, spam musubi makes every trip better! Thank you for joining us and for taking the time to leave this review. We hope to welcome you back for another day on the bay soon. A hui hou 🌺

    Absolutely Amazing

    Fell like we were in a Disney movie! Swimming with sea turtles and beautiful colorful fish along the big coral reef was amazing and way more then I could ever ask for. So many creatures and sea life.

    A Disney movie is a lovely way to put it, and we are so happy the bay felt that magical for you. Turtles, colorful fish, and a big coral reef all in one day is more than we can promise any guest, so we are glad it all came together. Thank you for joining us and for taking the time to leave this review. We hope to take you back out to the bay again soon. A hui hou 🌺

    Miscommunication

    I received a confirmation text the day before with my pickup location. Because it was far, I asked if I could switch to one of their listed pickup spots right downstairs from my hotel, but I received no reply and had to walk to the further location. Once at the parking lot, the driver said we’d have 10 minutes to apply sunscreen and change, but we were rushed to board immediately after exiting the shuttle. While the scenery was beautiful, the experience fell short. The windy weather limited activities, and the snorkeling lacked clear route guidance and support for families with kids. Additionally, between the two guides (one English-speaking, one Japanese-speaking), the English instructions were poorly communicated.
