crew was great, cpt bruce was a great chat. the boat ride was very cool, the captain kept an eye out for turtles and would slow down so we could watch them everytime. we got to sup for the first time and i think it was the perfect place. shallow water over the sandbar, beautiful background scenario!! the downside was the snorkeling. since it was around a coral area, we couldn’t snorkel freely, and it was very packed for us using fins. besides, visibility was very low but i think there are better days with better conditions. all the time everyone in the crew was great! we loved them.
Response from Host, Sep 2023
Thank you so much for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the crew and the boat ride, and that you tried stand-up paddleboarding for the first time.
We're sorry you weren't happy with the snorkeling, but we understand that the visibility can be affected by the weather. We will share your feedback with our staff so that we can improve our services in the future.
Thank you very much again for your review. We hope to see you again soon in Kaneohe Bay🌺 A hui hou

Although it was drizzling on the day of our trip, Capt. Bruce’s crew did everything possible to make sure we had a great time. They provided everything, including snacks and beverages. The only thing they didn’t provide was sunscreen and adult beverages (which can be purchased at the end of the pier). All in all, we had a blast!
Response from Host, Apr 2023
Thank you so much for joining our tour and for giving us five stars! We're so glad to hear that you enjoyed our tour, even though it was drizzling... We're glad to hear that our crew was able to make the best of the situation and provide you with a great time.
We appreciate your feedback about the sunscreen and adult beverages. We'll be sure to add those items to our list of things to provide in the future. We hope you will have a blast again soon :) 🌴

A must do tour rain or shine!! Captain Bruce crew was amazing. Made the whole experience so special. I was terrified to snorkel because I couldn’t just jump to the water. Yet Captain Bruce tour stepped in and guide us and helped us the whole time. The coral, turtles, and fish that u see makes you forget your fears immediately. Mahalo to everyone on the blue boat.

Thank you so much for joining our tour and for taking the time to leave us a review.
We're so happy to hear that you were able to overcome your fear of snorkeling. We know that it can be intimidating at first, but we're confident that it is much easier to try snorkeling at the bay. We're so glad that our crew could be a part of this experience, and we hope that you'll continue to explore the underwater world with us. A hui hou 🐠

This is definitely a must do in my book. Best experience I had in Hawaii. The ride and the staff were so comfortable. Kid friendly.

This was the most amazing trip. Captain Robin was friendly knowledgeable and caring. My daughter was scared to go snorkeling and he promised to stay with her the whole entire time . They had free drinks/chips. The water was amazing and was the perfect time lenght. We left of time and came back on time
Very organized

Nice tour to the sand bank. Snorkeled and saw turtles. Sand bank was nice with clear water. Lots of snacks and water plus sodas. All onboard were great. Recommend for all to do.

The sandbar was an unforgettable experience. Being able to walk in the pacific ocean is incredible. And the water temperature is amazing.
