I'm really glad me and my friends did this activity I couldn't believe that I actually did all the things I did even tho I don't know how to swim haha. Our tour guide I forgot his name (sorry) was so nice and even swam with us. I felt so comfortable swimming with my lifevest and even diving on the cliff and snorkling. I felt super brave lol. everyone in my party are very happy. I will remember this forever thank you so much.

These guys are great. My family and I had such a good time. We even caught some waves. You meet them out 'on the beach' right straight out from the channel, not where any of the 6 person outrigger 'Club' canoes are grouped. This is a 4 person outrigger with their experienced guide steering as the 4th person. So the fourth person in your group rides on a trampoline like tarp across the outrigger arms. We just took turns to give people a rest from paddling. You go out to a beautiful island about a mile out and walk around the island a bit before paddling back. Very low key and fun. They even made a video of the outing which is part of the cost. We plan on doing it again next time we return. BTW, they have 'dry bags' on board for all your phones and personal stuff you want to keep dry.

I went on this Outrigger Canoe adventure for my 30th birthday and it was awesome! We paddled around the islands and went to a small Lagoon on the backside of one of the Mokulua islands. They were so nice! They catered to what we wanted. I wanted to surf waves and even though that there wasn't very many waves, we still was able to paddle into some. They brought drinks and snacks which was nice after the paddle and swimming. It was such a fun adventure and I'm looking forward to the next time!

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Oahu and the perfect activity for our family of five! The owner, Simeon, also works as a lifeguard and is friendly and knowledgeable about the Polynesian culture. Our three teenagers paddled the canoe with Simeon while my husband and I kicked back on the side tarps ~ that's the best kind of vacation! He took us out to a small island, Mokulua, where we saw monk seals, hiked on the rocks and explored expansive tide pools. There was a place where the water collected behind some rocks called "Queen's Bath" and the kids jumped in for a swim. The island was lots of fun to explore and Simeon brought snacks and water. On the way back, he showed us how to catch the waves and canoe-surf. We had an amazing time!!! Highly recommend outrigger canoeing if you're looking for something extraordinary to do and want a taste of local culture.

One our favorite excursions of the trip! The waves were big and surfing them in the canoe was amazing! Simeon was full of knowledge and very nice. Beautiful place to visit!

Simeon was great and made us feel safe

Amazing!!!! My family and I had the best time ever. Simeon was great. We felt safe the whole time and even our 3yr old had a great time. If you are a family and want something that everyone will remember this is it!!! Can't wait to go back to Hawaii and do it agin.

Windward Boats - $493 bill to tell us the motor was not fixable

What a great experience. All boat parts in stock! Ton's of knowledge…read more At first I was very scared to take my boat there because I though being a dealership the price would be out of control. I had hoped that taking it there would help me because they would know boats well & be able to diagnose the issue with their knowledge. They did exactly what I had hoped for. I already had some parts on the way, though their expertise was able to diagnose our very difficult issue very quickly. Knowledgeable staff, caring & fair in all their dealings. Great company! Ryan in service and all the staff were stand outs! It's worth the drive over the hill if your in town!

I normally avoid windward boats because the parts guys that worked there had a lot of attitude…read more However i called in yesterday looking for a part and was pleasantly surprised when the person on the phone was not only nice but knew how to find a not so common part. I believe his name was Alex. He took the time to text me a parts diagram to make sure we were talking about the same part for the correct year motor. He indeed identified the correct part and advised me he had one in stock. unlike past experiences where the guy in the parts department would tell you bring in the old part so they can match it up. What a disservice and waste of time. I went in and Alex had the part waiting. Please pay this guy properly so you won't have to hire donkeys anymore...

This was definitely the highlight of our trip this year and maybe of the many trips we've taken to…read moreHawaii over the years. An amazing time sailing, paddling and also a little exploring on the island in tidepools and some baths. The crew were fantastic, super friendly, knowledgeable and great sailors and navigators. I was impressed with how careful they were being sailing through all the coral reefs and rock areas. There really isn't a better way to spend the morning. Definitely recommend the earlier morning tour, you have to get out early, but the water is better. We also got to see a few turtles throughout the morning which was also fun. Really a great time, couldn't recommend enough and Kailua beach is beautiful and worth spending some extra time on as well!

I did a sailing canoe tour with a friend and this was by far the best excursion I have done in…read moreawhile. Our tour guides were native Hawaiians that told us endless stories about Hawaiian traditional culture. Stories that were told to them by their ancestors and some that they learned in elementary school. That was honestly my favorite part of the tour sailing in the ocean and listening to traditional stories from his childhood. Like other reviewers we went to the small island and got to visit the tide pools and even have a tiny delicacy as a snack :) Mahalo and hope we get to cross paths again!

One of the most incredible tour experiences you'll find at Heʻeia Pier going to Kāne'ohe Bay…read more Although the final stop your not technically in Kāneʻohe Bay itself, they make up for it with a bigger, more comfortable boat with stand up surfboards, a platform with couches, volleyball net, and multiple sports balls and an amazing crew that's always friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Our family had an absolute blast, and it's definitely an experience we'll be coming back for again soon. It was the perfect way to spend time together and create lasting memories. It's truly an experience you won't forget.

The crew were awesome and friendly, and we had a great time enjoying all the water activities…read more Everything was fun, engaging, and well organized. Mahalo to all the deckhands, bus driver and band members for making the experience so enjoyable! Unfortunately, our experience with the bartender, Satomi, was very different. She came across as extremely unfriendly and dismissive, her attitude changed noticeably after she realized we were not Japanese. We were treated quite coldly and felt unwelcome, which was disappointing and honestly put a damper on an otherwise great experience. I tried to ask her directly what her problem was, but she repeatedly denied that anything was wrong and burying the facts. So I brought the issue up with her manager Shannon and hopefully their management can take this feedback seriously and look into the situation. The rest of the crew did a fantastic job, and it would be a shame for one person's behavior to overshadow an otherwise great experience. 船仩吧台冇个尛ㄖ夲ㄋㄩ服務員ゞ 對尛ㄖ夲亼跪舔灬 對國亼很冷漠板著個臉(_) 已經替伱們敎育過ㄋゞ 不爽の話一定喓找她咾闆投訴她!别惯着ゞ灬

DO NOT BOOK THROUGH HAWAII ACTIVITIES/VELTRA…read more.. Unfortunately, we never even got the opportunity to experience the actual Captain Bob's Sandbar tour because the transportation and communication were handled so poorly. We were visiting Oahu for my mom's birthday and specifically planned this tour as one of our major activities. After having an issue with the pickup instructions the first time, we rescheduled for the following day. Our rescheduled pickup was around 9:45 AM.. Before the pickup, Captain Bob's CALLED ME and told me that the driver was going to be late. I appreciated the notification and, because I had specifically been told there would be a delay, I went back inside the hotel while we waited. At approximately 10:02 AM, I received a call telling me the driver was now outside. I immediately started making my way outside. By approximately 10:07 AM, the driver was already GONE.The crazy part was that I will still willingly to pay for an uber and transport myself. I have the call logs showing these times. & find this completely unreasonable. DIABOLICAL behavior. Your company can call a customer and ask them to accommodate YOUR delay, but when the driver finally arrives, the customer gets approximately five minutes after being notified before the driver leaves? We are tourists. We do not live here. We are unfamiliar with the pickup areas and were relying on the company to provide clear instructions and communication. If your transportation is already running behind schedule, giving customers only a few minutes after calling them to get outside is unacceptable. Had we simply shown up late for a clearly communicated pickup time, I would understand the company leaving. That is not what happened here. We were specifically told YOUR DRIVER WAS RUNNING LATE. We adjusted our plans based on the information your company gave us. I also want to be clear that my complaint is not about the boat crew or the actual Sandbar experience because unfortunately we never got the opportunity to experience it. This review is specifically about the transportation, communication, and customer service surrounding our reservation. We spent a significant amount of money on this tour for our family and planned it around my mom's birthday. Instead, we were left extremely disappointed and scrambling to find something else to do for her birthday. I understand that tour companies have schedules to maintain. I also understand that traffic and delays happen. But if customers are expected to be understanding when YOUR transportation is late, your company should show customers that same basic courtesy. Calling at 10:02 AM and being gone by approximately 10:07 AM after already telling us the driver would be late is not reasonable customer service. I sincerely hope Captain Bob's reviews how situations like this are handled because this was an incredibly disappointing way to treat paying customers. I will never book anything in the future with this company and will never recommend to anyone who asks me what they should book for their Hawaii experience and that's that.
