    We had a fantastic time exploring and playing. We had so much fun doing water activities and…read moreviewing underwater creatures. Captain and the crew were very attentive and ensured safety. They ensured everyone got to see turtles and in fact they headed a participant back just when we were being called back to the boat after discovering he didn't get to see turtles. There was plenty of snacks and drinks. Gears were complete - eye gear (with or without prescription which was helpful to those who wear glasses), and mouth pieces. The attention to detail was superb and attention to safety and ensuring everyone had fun was commendable!

    We booked this Kaneohe Sandbar snorkeling tour after seeing many reviews describe it as…read morebeginner-friendly. As first-time snorkelers traveling with a child, our experience did not align with those expectations. Equipment distribution was poorly handled. Masks were handed out with little to no instruction, and basic questions were met with a rude and dismissive attitude. Overall communication and service were lacking. Once in the water, guidance was minimal and inconsistent. The experience felt rushed and disorganized, with limited support for guests who were new to snorkeling. The tone and treatment we received also made us uncomfortable as Asian guests. After sharing feedback, the company clarified in writing that they do NOT advertise or position this as a beginner-friendly snorkeling tour. Based on both that clarification and our experience, I would strongly recommend that beginners or families looking for clear instruction and attentive guidance consider other operators. Sharing this to help future guests set accurate expectations before booking.

    These guys would get 10 stars if I could rate them that high. What an overall amazing experience…read morefor me and my family. This is an all inclusive sailing snorkeling, and lunch event with amazing staff. You can be picked up at your hotel if you are in Waikiki or drive out to the pier. Recommend you get there a little early as parking can be limited as the day gets busier. Luckily, we came on a day where it was about half the normal capacity so we had room to spread out on the ship. The staff gave a very entertaining intro and safety brief. First stop was the sandbar. They provide his struggles and beach volleyball. We opted to just snorkel around the sandbar. Such a cool feeling to be out in the middle of the ocean and standing with water only as high as your knees. After spending time there, we started our way to a coral reef, but on the way we got to see a bunch of green sea turtles swimming next to us. What a cool opportunity! Probably my favorite part was the coral reef that we visited next. The water was so clear and blue and there were so many tropical fish swimming around the reef. I even captured a sighting of a reef tip shark on my underwater camera. Don't worry, they are harmless. Captain Maka was an amazing host. He was so patient with my kid and took time to show him the ropes and let him hang out with him on the bridge as he was navigating to each spot. The crew makes lunch. They literally barbecue hamburgers on the ship as you are out having fun snorkeling. And by the time you get back on board, the food is all cooked and you get to enjoy an amazingly delicious lunch on the ship as it made it its way to the next spot. Can't say enough about this excursion. The crew makes it so amazing. We will definitely come back and do this tour again as it was so much fun.

    Not going to lie, I was participating bc it was a group activity our friends wanted to do. Though I…read morehave always wanted to go out to the Sandbar, it was our last day here and I wanted to do all the last minute things this trip. But, I am so glad we went! It was THE BEST time! Even with gloomy skies, and predicted rain, we all enjoyed ourselves. The crew was amazing and definitely made a difference in the experience. Our captain Maka made us all feel right at home instantly and felt as if we were all old friends. Julia, Akiko and Cody were so hospitable and friendly and made the experience so enjoyable. We were even able to recruit Cody to play volleyball with us! They keep the itinerary booked from cruising out to the sandbar, to playing volleyball, having a freshly prepared lunch onboard, to snorkeling out in the reef, having a hot cocoa break, and seeing the surrounding sites. It was so fun! And ofc you cannot beat the views in Kaneohe Bay! the KoOlaus are my fave and to see them from the water is even more breathtaking. The communication was top tier from the welcome orientation to giving us instructions and information on the sandbar and also snorkeling. Julia was always great with giving us info. We appreciated the lifeguard signals for while out on the reef too. The vessel is clean and well maintained. The bathroom onboard is cleaner than the ones at the dock too. Spacious for everyone to move about and gather. They have their own private area in the sandbar so there is no competition with other tour companies. We were able to coordinate roundtrip hotel pickup to/from Waikiki also which made it seamless. Pick up both ways was prompt and in a sizeable air conditioned coach. 10/10 experience that I'm so glad I finally checked off the list, and would do again with Captain Bob's.

    Captain Max Boat Tours - Turtle Canyon Snorkel Tour with Captain Max Boat Tours

    We love seeing and snorkeling near turtles in Hawaii and for an upcoming trip to Oahu we weren't…read moresure we were going to be able to see them. I read about the excursions off Waikiki that all but promised seeing Honu. I did some research and chose to book with Captain Max Boat Tours and their Turtle Canyon Snorkel. I read reviews and what really attracted me to this outfitter was the fact they ran semi-private boat tours with only 6 guests. Correspondence (email) leading up to the excursion was clear and helpful. We arrived a few minutes early and visited their small shop while checking in. We waited just a few minutes and then were walked over to their boat dock, meeting both the guide, Sophia and the boat captain, Stephanie. They gave us safety information and prepared us for the short boat ride out to "Turtle Canyon". Our craft was a zodiac type inflatable raft with a mounted seats and a windscreen for the captain. We glided out to the snorkel zone with Waikiki beach before us, a grand ocean view of this famous beach. Sophie helped the other guests get their snorkel gear (included in the price) except for us - we bring our own snorkel equipment. We put in the water and after all guests were in, Sophia called in the direction she was leading us. On the way over we swam through schools of fish. This was an awesome experience we did not expect - we snorkel a lot and love seeing the marine life. We learned that some outfitters feed the fish out here and so they stick around instead of swim away, which we're used to experiencing. In about 20 feet of water our guide pointed out several turtles on the bottom. Lucky for us, one of them swap up for air - and stayed near the and stayed near the surface for quite a few minutes (longer than we usually see) which allowed us to get a great view of this beautiful creature (all the while, maintaining a safe distance to protect the turtle). Sophia led us to two other spots nearby, seeing fish on the reef below and several more turtles. Once again we were fortunate to have another turtle swim up to the surface for a few breaths. I'm very glad we chose Captain Max as some of the other outfitters that bring larger groups would have been a very different experience with a group clamoring for views of the few turtles that were out there. Our guide was knowledgeable, approachable, and friendly - and ensured we were all safe (and the marine life were also protected). On our way back to shore we were treated to another great view of Oahu, with Waikiki and Honolulu in the foreground and the mountains behind. Thanks Sophie and Captain Stephanie for a memorable excursion! NOTE: We know that early in the morning is generally the best time to snorkel as the water tends to be calmer, visibility better and fish ore active. We had a 930 start but next time would be the early time (730) as I learned there are even fewer other outfitters out on the water at that time.

    Had a lot of fun! I don't remember their names too well, but the two women who took us on the tour…read morewere really funny and informative! They made sure we were safe and having a good time. I recommend this place!
