    Captain Bruce was a blast

    Thanks to Captain Bruce's team, I had a wonderful time snorkeling, swimming, and paddle boarding around the sandbar and reef. Despite the cloudy rainy day we still saw hundreds of beautiful fish and sea turtles! I took the trip solo, since I was by myself I was worried I might get left behind, but they did a great job of checking in to make sure I was having a good time and keeping track of my whereabouts! The crew was knowledgable, helpful, and really made the excursion fun. Also the communication leading up to and on the tour was clear and conscience. Thank you to the Captain Bruce Team for a wonderful experience.

    Amazing experience

    This is my second time experiencing the Kaneohe Sandbar with the Captain Bruce outfit. The sandbar itself is a wonder to behold. It’s like a crystal clear, shallow, sandy pool in the middle of the ocean. You can float on a tube, try standup paddle board, or just swim and enjoy the beauty. Then you snorkel near the drop off and see a host of tropical fish and amazing sea turtles. Now for the service. The captain and crew are friendly, well organized, accommodating and really take care of their customers. Jamie, one of the deck hands, recognized me from my first trip! The crew gives instructions in both English and Japanese. The experience takes about 3 hours. It’s a short boat ride to the sandbar where they anchor. You have about an hour to enjoy the sandbar then an hour to snorkel, then your return ride. They provide the snorkel, life vest, paddle boards and blow up tubes. For food they offer a spam musubi, fruit, snacks and drinks. The crew snorkels with the group to ensure safety and that everyone stays together. There is a bathroom on the boat and bins to keep your belongings dry. You need to bring your own towels and sunscreen. Shoes are not allowed on the boat, I assume for sanitary reasons. Bring a little cash for a well-deserved tip or you can use Venmo. We had a small underwater point-and-shoot camera that I attached to my life vest so I wouldn’t drop it. I got amazing photos of the fish and turtles. I highly recommend if you can get a hold of one. I will be back again and again. The friends and family we brought on both trips said it was the best part of their vacation. I was born in Hawaii and return every year to be with family and this a must-do for me now.
