    Best thing we have ever done in Hawaii!!

    We have been to Oahu Hawaii many times, but were told about Captain Bruce from a friend. Frankly, never even heard about the Sand Bar. Communication was fantastic from booking , to all the specific questions. Picked up on time at the designated spot near our hotel in Waikiki. Crystal our Captain to the afternoon tour was able to customize our time to what our group wanted to do. Saw plenty of sea turtles, my daughter got some paddle time in, and we had a blast. Don't miss this opportunity, the pontoon gave us a nice chill time away from the standard tour which I am sure was also great.

    Highlight of our Trip

    We had the best time ever on our pontoon charter. We got the privacy we wanted so we could relax and float in the water just the two of us. I tried my hand at paddle boarding and then did some snorkeling which was beyond amazing. Absolutely the best day ever. The views were incredible out on the sandbar and the private transport was for sure our speed as we like to avoid the crowds. Our captain was super sweet and helpful as was our driver.

    Amazing experience!

    Our family has been coming to Oahu for years and has never experienced something quite like this! It will now be our go to. The sand bar pontoon charter was a blast! Incredible swimming and snorkeling for all ages, even my 4 year old. Our captain Alan was so wonderful. Kind, patient, fun, attentive, helpful and also very great about giving our family privacy if we wanted it. He even brought out a floating board for my 4 year old that had a widow to see into the ocean so she could get the snorkeling experience too without using a mask and snorkel. Game changer for her. Snacks and drinks on the boat were great. We were able to play our own music too. It was a true highlight for us not only of this trip but of years of travels to Oahu. Can't wait to be back and hoping to see Alan again!!
