An amazing experience! Snorkeling near sea turtles, seeing them sleep and swim, and swimming among fishes was a fantastic experience. DO: Bring extra snacks or food (even though they have some snacks on board), Bring a waterproof lanyard for your Iphone for underwater pictures, Pack towels, and Bring a rash guard (just in case it's cold). Do NOT bring extra life vests for adults (kids yes) nor snorkeling gear. The tour provides them. The trip started with Captain Robin, Reyes, and Ichigo (misspelled) greeting us with big smiles. They soon took us to a sandbar (about 3 feet high). On the way there, we saw a turtle float to the surface for a breath of air. A brief preview of our future fun. Once at the sandbar, we enjoyed paddle boarding and wading in the water. Afterwards, our snorkeling adventure began. So much fun! Once beyond the sandbar, you will see some coral and then a larger drop full of ocean life, fishes small and large (about two hand sizes). Then the magnificent turtles. Through our trip, our three hosts shared their love for the ocean and sea animals. They are very friendly and made the trip comfortable, exciting, and fun! If you ever wanted to swim with sea turtles and see ocean life with your own eyes just an arms length away, then you need to take this trip! Go check them out!

Aloha. Thank you for joining our tour. On behalf of Captain Robin and his crews , we would like to send you a big THANK YOU for your wonderful and resourceful feedback. We are absolutely pleased to hear that your experience with us was a top-notch and you got to enjoy a magnificent beauty that Kaneohe Bay / sandbar offers. Be sure to come back and visit us again, till then Mahalo !!! from all of us at Captain Bruce
Sending everyone that reads this a fair warning: DO NOT BOOK THE PRIVATE BOATS. it's not worth the extra $$$. Just join the group charter because that's what you'll be limited to, as for activity wise. I paid for the pontoon which was around $1350 for 6 people. We read the details and were under the impression that we would be able to cruise around the sandbar to various snorkeling location but that's not the case. We were going to book the group snorkeling sandbar tour which is only $140 per person to hang around a very limited area. In my video you'll see how small the sandbar area is, captain Bruce's real estate of the sandbar is extremely limited. The entire video is short n simple. I also circle n highlighted the ONLY area that you're allow to snorkel at, its about 20ft wide n barely any fishes. The 1 star given is for our designated captain who drove the boat. He was very informative, giving us some history of the island because there wasn't much to do on our boat.

Thank you for choosing our pontoon boat charter and for your feedback on Yelp. We appreciate your kind words about our captain's informative commentary. We understand your disappointment regarding the limitations of the snorkeling area due to permitting and safety regulations. We apologize that it didn't meet your expectations. We've shared your message with our team, and we are working on introducing the area and the marine life in the bay to ensure future bookings have clearer information. Again, thank you so much for choosing our private pontoon boat charter. We truly hope that you consider giving us another chance in the future. Mahalo Nui Loa Captain Bruce Team
My wife booked Kaneohe Sandbar tour with Captain Bruce. We got picked up by our shuttle driver Kaplan at 8am at a pick up point only 5 min walk from our hotel. We got to the bay a little before 9am. Captain Robin with crew Casey and Yuka were wonderful throughout the whole tour. It was mostly cloudy and cool and had a light sprinkle as we headed back to dock. They provided light snacks and refreshments. Would highly recommend and will be back for future trips.

Thank you so much for joining our tour and for sharing your experience! It will be great information for people considering a Kaneohe Sandbar adventure. We're so grateful you found Captain Robin, Casey, and Yuka wonderful throughout the whole tour! We'll be sure to share your review with them - it will definitely encourage them! Mahalo nui loa for recommending us! We look forward to welcoming you back on board again soon. A hui hou!
Last minute booking for my kids 7 and 9 years old, husband and myself. They have free pick up options so we decided to go with that. The pick up is in a shuttle that makes multiple stops to pick up other guests. After about 4 more stops we were on our way. Our driver was a sweet Chinese man who was very informative and points out places to eat. Once we got there the captain and his two partners were awesome. We went to the sandbar and played in the water and paddle boarded. Great time to take gorgeous photos, then you snorkel around the nearby reef for about an hour. Vest and snorkel provided for adults and children. Kids had a blast seeing all the fish in their natural domain. We even had a turtle swim right under us. The staff are really good about pointing things out and engaging the kiddos. Highly recommend

We're very pleased to hear the whole family is having a great time at the sandbar. Thank you so much for kind words and sharing your best experience with the Capt. Bruce tour. Mahalo for your support and Aloha...
We absolutely loved the experience we had spending time at the sandbar and thank the crew on the Captain Bruce boat for making the day so outstanding, especially Captain Hosanna. Booking, even last minute, was super easy, check in was simple and quick and the boat was comfortable, loaded with snacks and drinks and the crew were helpful, funny and made us feel very at ease. We did not take the bus but rather chose to drive and see other things along the way. Heading to the sandbar, we stopped to look at some turtles but the trip was quick and we were in the water immediately. There is a certain area that you must stay but there is plenty of room for everyone for sure. Snorkelers wore life vests and went to a deeper area with plenty of assistance and lots of fish and turtles to see. Surprisingly, our favorite part was just floating around the sandbar, swimming, chatting and relaxing. It was incredibly calm, quiet and peaceful. On the day we went, there was literally no one else insight. Others seemed to really enjoy the paddle boards and taking pictures and Hosanna and crew were great at getting everyone to have fun and laugh. It was a great experience and we look forward to our next trip to Oahu to go out again!
A high five to our Captains V and Karen! These ladies ran the show, and provided snack and refreshments. While it was well organized, the spirit was relaxed and playful. I would easily come back and have a do-over.
I had a blast playing in sandbars and snorkeling!

Mahalo for joining with the Capt. Bruce tour. Your 5 star is greatly appreciated and we look forward to seeing you in the near future. Aloha...
This tour was one of the highlights of our trip. The captain and crew were friendly, engaging, and all-around amazing. Relaxing at the sandbar was a treat, and we were able to see and swim alongside a variety of fish while snorkeling around the reef. I'd recommend this tour to anyone.
Dec 11, 2023
Aloha ! Thank you for choosing our tour and BIG thank you for your lovely feedback. We are pleased to hear that your experience with our tour was a great one. On behalf of our Captains and crews who are working very hard everyday to provide a safe and fun environment for all of our guests, we thank you again for joining us and we look forward to seeing you again in the near future! Mahalo
We went on the tour after my cousin recommended it and omg hands down it was the best time ever! We've been to Oahu a couple times and never went on a boat tour but this was the best activity we've ever done here! The staff was so helpful, funny, and energetic. They guide you the entire time. We saw a bunch of fish and 3 sea turtles! After snorkeling, you're able to just chill or go on paddle boards. There are plenty of snacks and drinks (water, soda, coffee, and tea) that they provide on the boat. But you can take your own canned alcohol beverages. I also recommend you take a light lunch like spam musubis! We are definitely doing this tour every time we go to Oahu! Totally worth it!! Our entire family said this was the highlight of our trip!

A hui hou!
Our trip to the Kaneohe Sand Bar was the highlight of my son's birthday. The beauty is unparalleled. We saw so many sea turtles during our short boat ride. When we anchored, we had about an hour to engage in water play. Captain Bruce has a barge full of water toys to choose from - floats, paddle boards, footballs, etc. After that, our guides handed us our snorkeling gear, and we went out to the reef. We saw so many fish and swam with a sea turtle. My family had so much fun snorkeling and paddle boarding. Spam musubi, chips, water, juice, coffee, and tea were included, and they allowed us to put our adult beverages in their cooler. The guides were outstanding and always put our safety first. A couple of us were stung by jellyfish, which are prevalent in the bay, but the reward was worth the risk. Our driver to the marina, Ken, was one of the most memorable people I've ever met. Mahalo Ken.

My family and I (2 adults, 2 children) had a great time exploring the sandbar and reef area with our captain/tour guide. We learned a lot about the history of the sandbar as well as got to enjoy the water and sandbar ar ... ea. We got lucky with the weather since it rained earlier in the day. The provided snacks and musubis were excellent. We were sad when it ended, but brought back many memories.
We rented a private speedboat. First, my apologies for most likely misspelling your name, Kaikoa or Keoke? Again, my apologies but me, my hubby and his mom had the best experience and truly enjoyed the day just talking w ... ith you about Hawaii and seeing all the wonderful wildlife when snorkeling. We also wanted to say thank you for being so kind and hospitable and putting up with our 20 questions about Hawaii life and thank you so much for sharing! Sending good vibes and hope you and your family are prosperous and happy. A thousand times Mahalo!
Incredible Time
Many moons ago I visited the sandbar and knew I needed to come back again. It took me 10 years but finally made it!! I ponied up the cheddar for the private speed boat and for me it was perfect. Captain K was so atte ... ntive to my family. (My daughter tripped in the parking lot within 20 seconds of meeting him). He bandaged her up. Taught us about the geography of the bay. Went out of his way to find us some turtles at the end. My 5 year old had the time of her life with all the fish! Snorkeling was amazing. All the toys already out on the sandbar were amazing. 10 out of 10. Will do again next time in Oahu.

Captain Bruce Kaneohe Bay Sandbar Snorkel, Paddleboard And Turtle Watch Tour
Even though Honolulu, Hawaii’s largest city, is located on Oahu, the island also offers a wide range of exciting activities both within and beyond the city. One of Oahu’s best activities is going on Kaneohe sandbar tours . Kaneohe, located on the windward side of Oahu, is a peaceful getaway from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki and Honolulu.
The Kaneohe sandbar is a popular swimming and snorkeling spot on the island of Oahu. However, getting there is difficult if you don’t own a boat. When you take the Captain Bruce boat tour , we’ll take care of the details so you can sit back and enjoy the sights while we cruise to the sandbar, where you can swim, spot different marine creatures, or simply unwind. Keep reading to learn more about this unique adventure!
Table Of Contents
About kaneohe sandbar.
A local favorite, the Kaneohe sandbar is one of Oahu’s best-kept secrets. Although only accessible at low tide, this three-acre, mile-long white sandy island is considered the largest saltwater sandbar on Earth and is situated in Kaneohe Bay. The sandbar is a thalassophile’s paradise because it is the only inlet in Hawai’i surrounded by a barrier reef. An abundance of coral reefs protects the area from waves, providing an enjoyable and unique experience on the sea.
Cruise the Kaneohe Bay Sandbar for two to three hours on a tour led by Captain Bruce. We’ll take you to sea in a spacious, well-equipped power catamaran from the Heeia Kea Boat Harbor. Granola bars and chips are also provided as snacks during the tour, but you’re welcome to bring your own food and beverages to the sandbar and enjoy! Alcoholic beverages are also allowed, but only in cans. A cooler is available on board.
Aside from swimming with Oahu’s underwater creatures and exploring a barrier reef bursting with marine life, guests on Captain Bruce’s private boat will also have the opportunity to try stand-up paddle boarding through the calm bay waters and enjoy some time in the sun on the white-sanded sandbar, which can only be reached at low tide.
Take advantage of the sandbar’s shallow waters, which make for great photo opportunities against the gorgeous backdrop of the Koolau Mountains. The Koolau is not your ordinary mountain range, but the eroded remnants of a gigantic shield volcano. Numerous cinder cones have been formed along the Koolau over the last hundred thousand years because of several eruptions. Today, you can enjoy its rugged and dramatic appearance from afar.
Get up close and personal with Hawaiian green sea turtles, locally known as honu, by taking a snorkeling tour of the turtle reef. Protected by both state and federal law, these magnificent creatures must always be viewed from a safe distance. Oahu’s Kaneohe Bay sandbar is an excellent snorkeling spot because of the surrounding reefs.
Snorkelers may look forward to pristine waters rich with aquatic life and colorful coral. There are about 40 different kinds of coral to see, such as the likes of rice coral and finger coral, among others. Aside from green sea turtles, guests are likely to encounter urchins, sea cucumbers, rays, damselfish, parrotfish, and other reef fish at the sandbar during a pleasant day out on the warm tropical waters.

Snorkeling and Sandbar Tour
Did the snorkeling and sandbar tour as part of a week long wedding celebration-we had so much fun!! The sandbar was fun with paddle boards and floaties provided and the snorkeling was fantastic with several turtle sightings. On the boat ride back we were lucky enough to see some manta rays out in the water which the crew was kind enough to stop for so we could watch them for some time. Professionally run and incredibly fun experience. Highly recommend!
Hi, thank you so much for choosing Captain Bruce! We are so glad to hear that you all had a great time during our tour. Yes, it's very lucky that you could see the Manta rays too! Thank you very much again for your time to post a review. We hope we can take you to the Kane'ohe Bay again!
Great staff and equipment! Really fun experience. The employees are very friendly and informative. Not too difficult for those who are not that athletic. Gorgeous sea life.
We're very pleased to hear you're having a great time at the sandbar. Thank you so much for kind words and sharing your best experience with us with the Capt. Bruce tour. We're looking forward to seeing you in neat the future. Mahalo!
One of the best experiences in Oahu! Ended up seeing multiple turtles, snorkeled and paddleboarded to your content. No rush and crew is awesome at catering to your needs. Way better than beach snorkel as waves calm and you have sand bar as support. Great for kids as well!
Thank you so much for joining us and sharing your experience with us. Your feedback is greatly appreciated and we look forward to seeing you again in the near future. Aloha!🤙
Highlight of our trip! And we did 3 snorkeling/boating tours while here. This is in the most beautiful area on Oahu, Kenoehe Bay. The bay is enclosed by a reef so there is essentially no waves on the water. You take a pontoon boat for a short distance out to the sandbar Island. We went in the winter, and lucky for us we had beautiful weather on this day of the trip. I saw 6-7 Turtles and lots of reef fish. I chose this trip originally because it is a 3-hour trip and the others are shorter that I saw online. The crew is great, and in fact they treat you more like family rather than a paid tour operator. There were snacks and and informative talk given on the coral reef ecosystem. The marina was only about 30 minutes from Waikiki. You can bring adult drinks and put them in the community cooler, plus they have soda and sacks free of charge. You can snorkel, paddle around on a paddle board, or float in a floaty (or all 3). It was completely breathtakingly beautiful, a day in paradise. Recommend 100%. If you only do one thing like this, this should probably be the one.
Thank you so much for joining us and shared your experience with us. We're very pleased to hear about your perfect family vacation day at the Kaneohe sandbar. Your feedback is greatly appreciated and we look forward to seeing you in the near future. Mahalo!
The tour was AMAZING! The staff was super friendly, warm and welcoming. I would totally do this tour again. The sandbar is super cool, but the turtle watching was the highlight for sure. The crew went above and beyond to make sure everyone was safe, able to see turtles and have a good time.
We're very pleased to hear your amazing experience with us. On behalf of Capt. Bruce, we thank you so much for your support! Your feedback is greatly appreciated and we look forward to seeing you in the near future. Mahalo kindly.
Everything from the very beginning was super top notch. From the friendly staff to the actual activities, not only did we feel safe with two toddlers and an infant but they enjoyed being in the water so much! No one was left out, and everyone shared on this unique experience. Kevin and Joe, gave us clear and easy instructions and even though we are not great swimmers we still got to see the underwater world. There is - paddle board, safety net floaters and boards where the kids can see underwater. Our girls will have these wonderful memories from now on as the recall being in the water and seeing turtles! Great job guys keep doing what you’re doing! Mahalo!
We're very pleased to hear the whole family is having a great time at the sandbar. Thank you so much for kind words and sharing your best experience with us with the Capt. Bruce tour. Mahalo for your support and Aloha...!

Ernie Els, Trevor Immelman Named Assistant Captains for International Presidents Cup Team
The International side is looking for a second win in 30 years of the competition.
- Author: Bob Harig
Former International Presidents Cup captains Ernie Els and Trevor Immelman were named to assistants roles on Monday by captain Mike Weir for the 2024 competition at Royal Montreal.
Weir also chose Geoff Ogilvy and Camilo Villegas to assist him as the International squad attempts to win for just the second time in the biennial competition that the United States has dominated since its inception in 1994.
“The four of them each have their own special history with this event and today’s announcement is a mere formality, as we have been working closely together through the years to ensure the International Team continues its momentum from 2019 and 2022,” Weir said. “The culture and close-knit nature tied to this team is foundational to everything we will do heading into Montreal, and I can’t wait work alongside them to deliver a great week of golf for our players.”
Els played in eight Presidents Cups and holds the record for victories by an International player with 20. He captained the International side that lost to the U.S. at Royal Melbourne and playing captain Tiger Woods in 2019.
Immelman, the 2008 Masters winner who now is an analyst for CBS, was the losing captain two years ago at Quail Hollow. He also served as an assistant to Els.
Ogilvy played on three Presidents Cup teams and has been an assistant three times as well. Villegas was an assistant two years ago and played in the 2009 Presidents Cup.
The only International victory occurred in 1998 at Royal Melbourne. The sides tied in 2003 in South Africa. The United States has subsequently won nine consecutive Presidents Cups.
