Aloha Captain Bruce and Crew!! Hands down we always enjoy our trips to the Kaneohe Sandbar with you all. We cannot wait to come back this September to visit again for another fun trip to the sandbar. Hoping to see a few more honu this time!! Please tell everyone we said hello and we can't wait to see them all again soon!!
Hey guys, thumbs up for the video. Kaneohe is where I met my wife. She worked at a school on the Marine Corp Base (MCBH). You two keep bringing nice videos.👍Aloha from New Jersey.
THANK YOU!! Your feedback means so much to us. That is amazing you met your wife while she was working on the base!! Unexpected moments usually turn out to be the best ones. Thank you again for your support especially all the way from New Jersey. Fall weather is upon you so we hope the upcoming videos help bring some of the island warmth to you and the Mrs!! Mahalo nui loa!!🤙🏼🌺😊
You are indeed correct!! We saw at least 3 or 4 while we out in the sandbar. It was so cool to watch them all fly by. They are pretty loud too!! The fish were so beautiful. Unfortunately, we used one of those clear plastic cases for our phones so when we recorded it, it wasn't as clear as we would've liked, but the turtle did come out better!! Thank you for your continued support for the channel. We really appreciate you!! 😊🤙❤️
Hi terrylilly4213! We are so glad to have been able to share our experiences so that people can see a little more of the beauty of O’ahu. Thank you for taking a moment to watch our video/channel. We really appreciate the support!!
It actually the Kaneohe Marine Corp Base. Thank you for giving the honu a shout out with the safety precaution. Growing up in Hawai'i, I never saw a wild honu or Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle. Even though I live on O'ahu, I enjoyed your video! 🍍😎🤙🌴🥥🌺🌈
Mahlo nui Braddah Bruce for letting us know the name of the base. We appreciate any additional information anyone shares with us so that we know the correct information moving forward. The honu is such a beautiful animal and it's special to us when we get to see one...like a small little blessing. We definitely 💯% believe in the saying "Malama 'aina" and its important for those that come to visit Hawai'i to know how important it is to care for and honor the land as it's home to so many...people, animals, and creatures. We're here to do "our" part and respect the 'aina. 😉🤙🏼🌺 It's surprising to know that you never saw a wild honu growing up on the island, but being distracted by the beauty of the island...we could understand why not. Again mahalo for your support for our growing channel. We appreciate you Braddah Bruce!!
Braddah Bruce no way did we take the corrections as disrespectful. We are very open to learning everything about places we go to so we always know better for future visits and just in general. No worries at all!! Still such a surprise about honu!! As much as we wanted to try shave ice (lol not shaved ice) we only got to try one spot (Matsumoto). We had Waiole on our list but time was against us. Another viewer also recommended a few other spots like Aoki and Kaimana both in North Shore. Definitely repeated trips are necessary!! Mahalo again and Happy Aloha Friday!! 🤙🏽🌈🌺
It's just so beautiful to see and experience. This is our 2nd time, but we just can't get enough and we're planning to come back again every year!! Definitely good times. 🙌 Mahalo nui for your continued support!! 🤙
Aloha Roberto! It’s a great experience and the views are definitely rewarding!! Let us know if you make it there and what you think of it!! Thank you so much for stopping in and checking out our channel and showing your support!!
Hi zss.1589!! It’s such a fun activity with amazing views all around!! Thank you for stopping in and checking out our video. We truly appreciate it and hope you have a great weekend!!
Aw great shots of the Sandbar. That boat looks fun and well stocked with food and drinks! I used to go out there a lot to fish with a bunch of friends on my friend's boat and we'd end the day at the Sandbar. It is beautiful. I don't go anymore because his wife made him sell the boat. 🤣 Thanks for the awesome video!
Mahalo Misty for your support and kind words. The boat tour was definitely so much fun the first time we had to do it again a second time. They do a great job with snacks and drinks for sure. The views are absolutely stunning. Awe that's a bummer about your friend selling his boat. What kind of fish did you catch when you went fishing in the bay?
@@FoodFiend oooooh mahi mahi!! Yummy. We've never had Ono or even heard of it. Is there a place you recommend that we can try it bc not sure we'll be able to catch it ourselves!! LOL
@@michellejosefoodandtravel I'm not sure where you'd get it from. Sometimes it's in the supermarket to cook. There was a place near ward called Wahoo Tacos but it was terrible. Lol. Maybe you'll see it as a special of the day in a restaurant during the summer.
Thank you so much Elaine! We also appreciate you taking the time to check out our video/channel. It’s truly appreciated and we are so thankful for Charles for introducing us to you!! Have a great weekend!! 🤙🏽😊
Hello kamea4023! Thank you so much for your kind words and we’re glad you enjoyed the video and that it was helpful for you. Yes there is one single restroom onboard the boat. Please let us know if you have any questions about the tour and we’ll do our best to answer them!!
Great video, thanks for sharing! In reality how deep is it? I want to make sure my 5 feet of perfection feels comfortable before we book it 😆- thanks in advance.
Hi imdeemvp! In general during the summertimes (July - September) when we’ve gone it’s usually been about 3.5-4 ft deep on the sandbar. We also usually book the morning tour since we’ve checked the tide charts and the mornings seem to be where low tide occurs during that timeframe. There are other parts of the sandbar that you can walk to that get shallower as well since it’s such a large area but the general vicinity where the boat anchors is usually about that height when we’ve experienced it. Your 5ft of perfection and yourself will love it!! 😁Let us know how it goes for you all and thank you for taking a moment to check out our video!!
Hi Patty! There are several tour companies that go to the sandbar. We’ve only been with Captain Bruce and absolutely love the crew and the aloha spirit they share. Yes in the summer months the first session is definitely early but that’s usually the season when tides tend to be lower. As you get into the fall and spring they start at 9am. We completely understand that it can be a bit tough getting to that side of the island especially from Waikiki/Honolulu but the rewards you get with the sunrise and views of the Ko’olau Mountains…definitely worth it!!
Hi Cherelle!! The Kaneohe Sandbar is breathtaking. We visited the sandbar in the middle of September. The weather is still warm and not as crowded as the summer. Thank you so much for taking a moment to watch our video! We appreciate you!!
Hi is it better to do the first session or second session? Im going next month in June. I have a 10 year old son… i was worried that the water level would rise high by the second session…
Hi Patty!! We’re so excited for you to be visiting O’ahu next month. We generally go to the Kaneohe sandbar in the first session as the tides are usually lower in the mornings and tend to rise around lunch or after. It’s also nice attending the first session as you can see the sun slowly rise better on that side of the island. Not sure how tall Aiden is but for me (Michelle) I’m 5ft and it has always averaged around my waist or just slightly above. Hope that helps and we hope you two have a great time! We hope you get a chance to see some honu (turtles)!!
Hi Barbara!! Yes you bring your own towels and can also bring a tote with you. Once you get on the boat there are plastic storage bins underneath all of the seats to store your belongings so that they stay dry the entire time. When you get back to the boat harbor, walk towards the general store and there are restrooms available for you to change. Also check out the general store as they do serve dole whip and have other great snacks!! Thank you so much for stopping in and taking a moment to check out our video. We hope you have a great time!!
Hi Alishia - we generally go in September as O’ahu is less crowded since kids are back in school and the weather isn’t as hot as it is in the middle of the summer. It’s still warm though during the day and slightly cool in the evenings making it really nice!! Thanks for stopping by the channel and let us know if you a chance to go to the sandbar!!
OMG we didn't even catch that when we were filming. We had to go back and watch the video again to hear it. I'm sure she just misspoke as it was a little chaotic departing. Overall super friendly crew and a great experience if you ever get a chance!! Thank you so much for taking the moment to check out our video and we wish you and your family a very happy and healthy holiday!!
Thank you very much for coming back and this nice intro about our tour :) 🌺🌺🌺

Yay! Thank you as always for showing your support all the way from Kuwait!! Salamat!!
OMG, you just said 5 feet perfect! Awww, I've never heard that one before....I love you two.
Hi Danyelle!! Jose can be very quick on his feet with some really good lines sometimes!! ☺️
That looks like an OV-22 Osprey that buzzed you all while you were in the water. Very cool seeing the animals as well 😊❤
You are indeed correct!! We saw at least 3 or 4 while we out in the sandbar. It was so cool to watch them all fly by. They are pretty loud too!! The fish were so beautiful.

@@michellejosefoodandtravel Thank you so much. Very helpful. I have been to Oahu many, many times and I have never done this activity.
@@barbaradaedlow5720you’re very welcome. It’s definitely an experience and the views from the sandbar are stunning!!
That girl talking on the boat so fine
She is super nice and friendly and has great recommendations for eats as well!! You know where to find her if you’re ever in O’ahu!!
What time of the year did you go?
Hi Alishia - we generally go in September as O’ahu is less crowded since kids are back in school and the weather isn’t as hot as it is in the middle of the summer.

She said that the coffee has macadamia nuts so if you have a peanut allergy don’t consume the coffee. Jeeze, I hope she just misspoke that was dumb
OMG we didn't even catch that when we were filming. We had to go back and watch the video again to hear it. I'm sure she just misspoke as it was a little chaotic departing.
