    Robert was seriously amazing! From the knowledge of the island to his hospitable personality, he covered it all! When my friend and I arrived in Hawaii, we didn't have much planned. I came across his website and instantly booked with him. Even though it was last minute, he squeezed us in his schedule and I'm SO thankful he did. We spent the whole day together. He showed us caves, beautiful parts of the island, took as to lunch, had drinks for us the entire time, and took us kayaking out to another island where we hung out and cliff jumped. Not to mention, he took photos and GoPro footage the entire day! Best way to spend a birthday, for sure. He made us feel like we've known him for years. Cannot wait to go back because I'll be booking with him again!

    Once again, Robert delivered an amazing adventure. I first met Robert on a private tour he gave a friend of mine and I while on Oahu. It was an amazing adventure that we both talk about all the time. Six months later, my husband, teenage daughter, toddler, and my dad (grandpa) were all excited to have a two day adventure on Maui with Robert. Unfortunately, our toddler decided he'd rather stay home with our nanny but Robert was so amazing at planning something that would have suited the very wide age variety of our group for the first day and then pivoting to something fun that didn't need to be toddler friendly, instead. Robert managed to amaze our teen with "cute" waterfalls, drop us in the water at the perfect snorkeling spot where it was just us and a crazy variety of tropical fish (including a humongous eel!), got us to all the great food spots without any crowds, captured amazing family photos we would have never been able to take on our own (he will make sure your teen gets every shot they need for the Gram), and manifested two of the most epic sunsets we have ever seen. Robert and his wife are two of the sweetest, most caring people I have ever met. When you take a tour, you feel like you become part of their Ohana. Mahalo, Robert and Sitarani.

    There are no words to describe the day with Robert. He planned everything and was amazing to be around. His knowledge of the island is incredible. His humor makes the day even better. We did the shark cage, snorkeling, island tour, happened across a surf competition, visited a Buddhist Temple, saw endangered Hawaiian Monk Seals, the list goes on and on. After about a dozen times to the island I saw things I never would have seen before. Can not thank Robert enough!!

    My friend and I had the time of our lives on this unforgettable one day adventure. We first hiked to a gorgeous waterfall, took a swim (and about 500 pictures) then hiked back out. After that we were on to Pali Notches. CRAZY hike with breathtaking views! Definitely for thrill seekers with nerves of steel! Then off to the Haiku Stairs. Wow. We were jumping out of our skin we were so nervous and excited! It was such an incredible feeling to be there REALLY experiencing life!! We will never forget this experience that Robert and Sitarani created for us. Godspeed Adventures is professionally run, extremely well thought out, detail oriented and personalized. We were able to stay away from the "tourist traps" and truly experience what Oahu has to offer. Thank you for the memories! Cheers!

    I recently took a girl's trip to Oahu, Hawaii and we all had activities we wanted to check off our "Bucket List." This is when Robert became into our lives... We let him know everything we wanted to do and Robert took care of the rest, from booking all our adventures, picking us up at our hotel, and driving us to all our amazing adventures. We spent two full days with him on our trip... We started out with skydiving and snorkeling on day one and ended it with the shark cage dive and Circle Island tour on day two! His passion for his profession is undeniable and his commitment to his clients well being and ensuring you're having a great time is phenomenal. This little review really does not do him enough justice! If you're ever in Oahu, you MUST use Godspeedadventures.com!!!!!!! Thank you Robert for everything!! Looking forward to seeing you soon!! Z

    Talk about EXPERIENCE OF A LIFE TIME !!! Our first time going to Hawaii and he couldn't have made it any more memorable . I honestly feel like this was the best part about our ENTIRE trip ! Robert was seriously the best local tour guide we could've ever asked for . It started by him picking us up in the morning and having breakfast for us and taking us to a private hike with no other bus tours in sight very exclusive . Then a beautiful private beach absolutely breathtaking and so peaceful . We also did snorkeling with dolphins which was absolutely the best , even brought us FULL FACE snorkeling mask which wasn't included in the packaging but since we were with him of course he had us covered with the best of the BEST !! I'm not going to lie that was absolutely the best part for me I've always wanted to go snorkeling with the full face mask and it was the best experience I could've ever asked for !! Of course last but not least he made sure to take us to the mermaid caves which was absolutely Magical ! I would honestly suggest fitting as much as you can with him in one day or two days because it is absolutely worth every single penny not to mention all of his prices are BEYOND reasonable for the experience you will get not to mention memories that will last a lifetime !! *NOT TO MENTION this guy was seriously our private photographer the entire time and I'm sorry but when you come with a group of girls that's the best thing you could ever ask for , he was taking pictures of use in us in action , then our views along the way without us even asking . We had pictures and memories to show everyone when we came back !

    Question: do you want to have the most memorable and exciting day of your stay on Oahu? Do you want stunning, high quality pictures to remember that day? Do you want to meet one of the coolest guys in all 50 states? Is there something you want to try or a hard hike you want to go on but you don't feel confident going on your own? Do you want to see the whole island and hidden gems 99% of people will drive right past? If you said yes to any of the above then this tour is for you. Robert is SO nice and the kind of guy who makes you feel like a friend is taking you around and showing you their home. I selfishly want to keep this to myself but other people should have this opportunity. We had an amazing time and then we got to relive it through the pictures and videos Robert took. We ended up with over 400 good pictures, which is a huge value in and of itself. Robert catered our trip to exactly what we wanted to do and then made adjustments when he realized we would enjoy other spots too. This is the best money I have ever spent on entertainment in my life. If you do one thing on Oahu, it should be spending your day with Robert.

    Everything about this adventure tour was just absolutely amazing! Robert was a great tour guide and he really knew what he was doing. He had a lot of knowledge of the area and always gave us fun facts about the places we visited. We did the shark-cage adventure and the full day kayaking adventure and it was the best day of our trip. He took a lot of pictures and video that came out great! Robert is an amazing guy that makes you feel comfortable and makes sure you're having the time of your life. We will definitely be booking again with him the next time we're in Hawaii.

    I'm the girl who wants to go snorkeling even though she gets sea sickness and can't really swim…read morebecause I love animals and I want to experience snorkeling with turtles and fish at least once in my life. We did the turtle tour on 5/13 at 8:30 in the morning. They teach everyone how to use the given gear, they antifog the goggles beforehand and sanitize all the gear well afterwards. They have snacks, water, and ginger ale. We saw two turtles within a couple arms lengths at the surface (you can't touch them but gosh they were so close!). We also saw about seven turtles chilling on the bottom. Tons of reef fish swimming so close to us too. The crew makes sure to point out turtles so you don't miss them. It was my first time in open water and the crew was welcoming from the start. They separate the groups so if you can't swim or are not great at swimming, you can stay back and hold onto a blue mat in the water where they teach you and help you feel comfortable in open water first. Even though I vomited afterwards (yes I took plenty of motion sickness medication ahead of time!), I highly recommend the experience. It's unlike anything else. The crew is so funny, they normalized not being able to swim well or motion sickness so you don't feel embarrassed. They get in the water with you (not all crews do!) and were super attentive, and encouraging. I felt safe enough that I was able to learn, get confident in the water and join the others and I still felt like I had plenty of great snorkeling time. Overall, GREAT company for actually seeing turtles! GREAT for inexperienced swimmers and people who get motion/sea sickness! If you're determined, you can still do it. The crew made me feel safe the entire time! You've got this, you only live once!

    Fun 5/5 Snorkeling 4/5…read more Service 5/5 Informative from staff in safety 5/5 Price for value and time 5/5 Overall 5/5 Wow you guys are truly amazing. I didn't even get off the boat and my son already asked me "can we come back to this same boat again next time!" From the gate B, which is your entrance, make sure you read your additional info after your confirmation email, especially if you are taking a Uber or Lyft, or else you can get dropped off at the main area and have to walk and find gate B! It's a long walk if you do not specify, our u er drive was the one that asked me, what gate sir, or else you have a long walk. Thank god he asked us! So from the gate to the entire experience, it can be overwhelming, it's a lot to do, it's a ton of fun. I rated 4/5 for the snorkeling because it's open ocean vs doing this inside a "bay" You first get a cruise down the waters and learn about the city and the captain t Story tells you a lot of history and the buildings while we are cruising and then we turn around to the play and snorkeling areas! Wow! But knowing my kids they want to also PLAY! Thais is the boat, you have a water trampoline, a water floating board that you legit can lay on or stand on and play balance and or just lay, and a huge slide!!!!! Wow! And drink and snacks are included! We didn't even get a chance to grab a beer! lol (for additional $ on your own) Just look at the view and the photos. So this entire experience is just 5/5 We booked through TripAdvisor. This is 100% recommend, since this is also at open ocean, it's easier if you can swim and not afraid of the waters. They do offer life jackets and self blown floatation vests, your choice. Must do!!!!! See you next time!

There is free parking at the blowhole lot and you will see this cove along the east side of the island. The view may look familiar as it was the site for filming in "From Here to Eternity" and it has also been used for a few other movies and TV shows since then. The view is beautiful and waters are usually a pale turquoise. It is a bit of a tortuous hike to climb down the cliff to get to the beach for this cove. Definitely wear water shoes or foot protection as there are sharp volcanic rocks that create the cove. The water can be rough. The depth of the water steps down quickly, so I wouldn't recommend it for weak swimmers or small children. Nevertheless, it is beautiful scene of another Oahu beach. If you walk to more to the southside of this area you will have the fun to see the natural blowhole as the tides come in and out. Once again, make sure to have decent shoes to get there. Makes for some great photos or videos so it is definitely worth the adventure. For those that are not physically able to make the hike or climb, the vista is beautiful by itself. There are definitely a fair share of tourists and locals who come here, but it is much less than the Waikiki crowd. You will need a car to get here from Waikiki. I recommend you experience this spot at least once on your visit to Oahu.

    Here is my account of my kayaking trip to the sandbar. See accompanying pictures and videos. So,…read moreJohn at Go Bananas kayak rental strapped a long kayak with a skeg to my car. I drove off his parking lot, and arrived at the He'eia Kea Boat Harbor. On this windy and rainy day I launched off the Kaneohe Canoe Club towards where I thought the sandbar would be found. For my entire trip inching forward in that direction I was alone in the foreboding ocean, or rather they bay. But from my low vantage points, it looked as if I were in the middle of the deep ocean with breaking waves under me and dark clouds above me. John told me to aim for Kapapa Island, and he was right. Because as far as I could tell from my kayak it was just dark water all around me, except for that tiny speck of an island. All other boats I saw and thought to be tourist boats anchored at the sandbar all turned out to be decoys - they were docked so closed to shore in retrospect. Many a times I thought I'd reached the sandbar only to find empty boats in dark and deep water. Many more times I thought of turning back - it could be frightening being out there alone, even if I was prepared with all available safety devices. But I kept going. Then I sensed a change in water color. Shortly the sun poked its head out of the cloud. And magic happened. The sea all around me turned turquoise as soon as sunrays touched them, revealing that I was mere inches above sand now. I soon found a lone stand-up paddler lying supine on his board, drinking beer. I also ran into a birthday party dinning around a table half-submerged in water. Then Captain Bruce's boat showed up, dumping lots of merrymakers onto the sandbar. Now that I know the place, I would have no issues coming back again and finding it, next time. In some of the videos you will find dark clouds raining on entire towns, while I filmed the shore from the sandbar. That gives you a sense of how far the sandbar is from shore.

I had the hesitation to book it due to the fact my son is on the spectrum and wasn't sure how he was going to react during the experience. Took the chance and made a reservation through Hawaii Ocean Sports. They took us on a boat to access the beautiful Sandbar. It's nestled in the middle of the ocean 3 miles stretch of sand. Unfortunately, we ended up doing the afternoon tour where high tides took place water level up to our necks. During our ride there, we were served lunch consisting of a turkey sandwich, fruits, and a cookie. Very filling as we were on to our destination while we listened to live music entertaining us along the way. Snacks, towels, drinks, and a bar are available for additional cost. As we approached the Sandbar, we were required to do a brief safety class before heading into the beautiful water. My kids and I were surprised how magnificent the Sandbar was. Definitely a true paradise where our dreams came true. I didn't think I would ever experience this kind of beauty. My son and I were terrified at first as we entered the water, but our life jackets saved us as we were floating. Lots of activities offered which are part of the package including SUP, kayaking, volleyball, snorkeling, or relaxing at the dock while sipping on drinks. We mainly enjoyed ourselves floating in the ocean. The current did get a little rough as it started to pour rain right before heading back to the marina. One advice is to head out early onto the boat before everyone does because the changing and bathrooms can get wet with dirty grounds. Music was blasting with great hits as we ended the day. Made my son and I stand up desiring to dance. Truly this is an unforgettable magical experience. You bet I will make a reservation again when we return to Oahu next year!

    No. Don't. Before you try to book this company, better do your own research or you'll end up…read moregetting bitter and expensive experience like us. We booked this company since we couldn't get reservation at Hanauma Bay. So this is the only option to enjoy Hanauma Bay with transportation BUT you still have to purchase Hanauma Bay tickets at the ticket counter BY YOURSELF. And depending on the time and hour, the wait can range between 30 minutes to 2 hours. So the point I'm trying to get across is BOOK YOUR HANAUMA BAY TICKETS AHEAD OF TIME so you don't have to purchase from any third party company. Second issue. is the driver. Unfortunately we had such a RUDE, IMPATIENT, and DISRESPECTFUL DRIVER, JAMES. I had two teenagers kids with me who unfortunately were late by 5 minutes by the time he picked us up. You know what he did/said? He made rude and degeratory comments, jokes all the way from the moment we sat down until he dropped us off. Also, this guy has a short temper problem for sure. The way he drives endangered the passengers. During the trip, somebody stopped in front of him and pissed him off. The guy ended up whipping out his phone and taking picture of him. Not long after that, two ladies were trying to cross the street, he didn't look carefully and almost hit them, then he got angry for no reason and gave them a hand. Those were just uneventful experiences that we witnessed along with 8 other passengers who sat inside the van. After reading all the one review from this company, there are some people who got irritated by the driver named James as well. I know I'm not alone. We still had an awesome time snorkeling in Hanauma Bay regardless this awful experience with the driver. Mind you we paid a lot for this transportation service for total of three people. But what's more painful is the feeling you received after someone made you feel less by his degeratory and sarcastic jokes in front of family and strangers.

We know the state now has a lottery that requires you to sign up 2 days in advance, and the tickets go quickly. We did not want to risk not getting to go, so we booked an excursion, as they are given spaces for their guests.I checked the reviews and choices and booked with Hanauma Bay Snorkel Adventures several weeks before our trip. We know that mornings are best for water clarity and calmer surf - and we've found the fish tend to be more abundant in the AM, so we booked the morning slot. We received emails and were told the van would pick us up at our Waikiki hotel at 5:40 a.m. We were waiting a few minutes, and then the van came to our hotel. We climbed in, and with 2 other couples and the driver, we were off in the dark. First stop was their dive shop - on the way, on the other side of Diamond Head. Snorkel gear was distributed (we brought our own), and then we climbed into the van and drove a short distance to the Hanauma Bay entrance. We gathered as a small group and went into the park together (you'll bring $25 cash each person for the Hanauma Bay ticket - not included in the excursion payment). There is a mandatory short movie (around 15 minutes) that is primarily a primer to keep the reef and marine life safe. We took the free tram down to the bay (you can also walk - a bit of a steep hill). They have bathrooms with changing stalls at the beach. We were on the beach as the sun's first rays shone across the bay - it was a beautiful morning. We got in 3 separate snorkel sessions going out into zone 2 (through the buoys and past the first reef) where it's deeper, and we saw greater numbers of fish. If this is your first time snorkeling or you are less experienced, I would caution you to check with the lifeguards on the beach before doing this.About 3 hours later, it was time to pack up, and we took the tram to the top, where we waited a few minutes with the group we traveled with in the morning. Our van showed up and drove us straight back to our hotel. We very much enjoyed the day, but honestly would have preferred to be on our own so we could choose when we wanted to leave. But for many who visit Oahu and stay in Waikiki, this is a good way to snorkel at Hanauma Bay. NOTE: I do see a number of reviews that speak of rude staff and substandard transportation. Fortunately for us, we did not experience any of that on our trip.
