Snorkel Bob’s Honolulu

I can’t remember the guys name but he was awesome! He gave us all the information we could need without asking any questions. He was a mind reader and could tell it was our first time snorkeling. The snorkel gear was great and it fit our needs.

Great staff — informed and friendly. Rented 3 snorkel sets and a life vest for the same price as 2 sets on North Shore. Wish I would have found this place sooner!!!

Came here to rent snorkel gear. The staff is knowledgeable about the gear and it’s made from medical grade silicon. We upgraded with the gear and it was comfortable for our Asian faces. No leaking at all around the face and noise. Thank you!
Sadly we didn’t choose a great day to snorkel it turned out to be raining. The staff suggested a place by a research center pier but the waters were murky. We ended up driving to Lanikai Beach but weren’t able to see any fishes that day.
I do like the evening Dropbox and found that very convenient.

Very rushed and unenthusiastic service from a guy who seemed to barely speak over a mumble.
We had run-​ins with him the three times we were there, must be owner manager?
Anyways,
I don’t know where are all the great service had come from, but it definitely wasn’t our experience.

They know what they are doing and have helped a million people. That comes through in the nearly-​brusk attitudes. But if you need gear, it’s an okay spot. Our gear worked great and fit really well. Just pay attention to the return time. If you are more than 1 hour late, you will get a pro-​rated charge. Checking time is EXACTLY 24 hours (Or 48, or whatever) after you rented it.

It definitely was a quick and easy process.
We came in, told then we needed to rent snorkel gear for the week, and one of the guys immediately had us sit down on the benches and try on some gear.
First he had us try on the snorkel face masks and then the flippers.
They made sure that we tried on the flippers for both feet because sometimes one foot may be loose because the flippers get stretched out by other users.
Snorkel gear rental includes a free bottle of de-​fogging liquid, but you must return that bottle after you’re done or else you get charged $ 3.
I also like that they offer an after-​hours drop off box if you can’t drop it off during regular business hours.
The only thing that I don’t like is that I felt like the prices were expensive.
For regular snorkel gear, it is $ 25 for the week.
For the better snorkel gear, it is $ 35 for the week.
We got one of each and I kept getting water in my masks no matter how hard I tied it around my face. I do recommend getting the better snorkel gear.
But overall, I paid about $ 65 for two people which is quite pricey for the quality of the snorkel gear.

Friendly staff and cheap rentals. Can rent for a day (24hrs) or longer if you want. Prices are beyond reasonable. They have a 24hr drop off box if you want to drop your gear off sooner. They also give you a list of suggested places to snorkel. Thanks snorkel bobs!

Super cool people here and they live the laid back chill Hawaiian lifestyle. Melo chatted with us and set me up with some gear. They also had recommendations for excursions and tours and I was more comfortable speaking with them instead of the guy on the street. Cool place, exactly what I expected from Hawaiians.

Friendly service! I forget the name of the guy who helped me, but he was so patient & helpful w/​giving me tips on where to snorkel. Awesome customer service!

Quick, easy, friendly, affordable.
Didn’t spend more than 15 minutes there to get 5 people squared away with snorkel gear.
My snorkel clip broke off my goggles first day out so on the way home we called them just before closing and told them we would like to stop by before they’re gone for the night and the gentleman was more than willing to help.
Went in, changed it out. Easy peasy.
Come here don’t hesitate!

The gentleman who helped us with our rentals was very helpful and informative. Prices where great and they even provide a night drop which is convenient. We will return again next time.

Simply amazing. Jeremy is the dope at cat ever! He hooked me and my friends up with the perfect gear and tour. Knowledgable and friendly.
If you wear prescription glasses this is the place to go!!!
Thanks snorkel bob and Jeremy!

Where do I start. I had a blast. The best tour/​activity on the island. They provide everything you need to have fun and stay safe. Very family oriented place. This put the icing on my Honeymoon. we are from DC and decided to try something different. we are so glad we did. we will remember this trip forever. and if God willing we will do this when we return in years to come.

Jeremy was really helpful. He gave us excellent points and recommendations on snorkeling. Will definitely come back here to rent snorkeling gear and boogie board. I recommend this place to the fullest. The blue fins are quite a bit tacky but definitely protects your feet, 28 $ for 1 day rental for 2 people is such a steal! Ask for Jeremy to accommodate your needs! :)

Answered all my questions, showed multiple products and didn’t push anything on me. Will return to rent gear I wasn’t sure about buying next time I go to haunama bay

We rented snorkel gear for the week. Service was just okay, not overly friendly but not rude. The equipment was decent quality and the prices were reasonable. It was nice having our own gear as went traveled the island with no need to scramble and find gear or use the crappy gear that some places were handing out for free. We were in and out within 15 minutes and drop off only took a minute.

Great place for renting snorkel gear…
Daniel was a cool dude… Helped us right away when we entered and took care of business… NO BS… He seemed to come off a little hard but he’s a naturally cool dude! He has a good sense of humor when he starts talking!
He got us all the snorkel gear we needed and helped us with a lot of questions regarding the best snorkel spots! He even helped us book a spot for a snorkel trip!
Again, ask for Daniel when you go… He’ll help you out!
There is plenty of snorkel gear to choose from and he will guide you through it… You can rent snorkel masks, fins, boards, etc…
You usually rent for a week… If you return it late, it cost $ 3 I believe…
Highly recommend!

Friendly staff. Easy parking. Easy access off of Waikiki. The equipment is new and worth the price for a week rental, $ 25 – 35. However charging $ 25 for a lifevest for one week that sells on Amazon for $ 29 at full retail is a bit of a rip off. They provide maps and good information about how to snorkel.

I needed to rent snorkel gear, and found this place on Unilocal.Overall, they have everything you can imagine for snorkeling and scuba diving. I needed the snorkel for 4 days so he gave me the weekly rate (which was cheaper) with no flexibility on trying to bring the price any lower.
I saw that there was a check-​in offer that I mis-​read at first. I thought you checked in and they give you something for free, but the offer is «Check-​in and buy a tour for 2 and you’ll get a beach bag or boogie board for the week.» Although the guy who was helping me was nice, he kept trying to sell me on one of the numerous tours they have advertised. These tours aren’t cheap either, you’re looking at a minimum of $ 200 from what he showed me.
I know people on the island get a nice kick back by selling these trips/​tours, but don’t keep trying to sell me on one when I’ve said no 8 times.
Cheers!

The equipment did not work the way it should have. Masks leaked, the snorkle was missing the guard that kept waterout of the mouth. They tested everything on return and the equipment tested bad. They gave us our money back.

These guys make it so easy.
I provide snorkeling on my tours, and I actually buy some of my gear from these guys.
If you need to rent equipment, these guys are really convenient. There is a night drop box if you get back after they close and you have to fly out in the morning, that makes it really easy.
They have prescription lenses!

A little pricey if you want the better snorkel equipment (fins, mask, de-​fogging solution): $ 13/​day. And better means that the air tube doesn’t recirculate your old air but I wish they had the ones that kept the water out when waves come crashing. I found myself needing to come up out of the water to empty it out and it kind of ruined my experience.
The staff here are very friendly and helpful though. Hours are 8−5pm but returns can happen after hours in their drop box.

We were very glad we chose Snorkel Bob’s. There were many times we were driving along the beach in various locations around Oahu and thought, «Let’s go snorkel there!» We had our rented snorkel gear in the trunk and it made it a breeze. Daniel helped us and it was really easy (as lots of others have mentioned). Knowledgeable, friendly, and we were out of there in no time. I also appreciated their efforts to inform visitors to the island on proper etiquette, safety, and conservation.
Returning anywhere on HI is also a plus in case you’re planning on staying on any of the other islands. The map we were given was also helpful as we tried to hit up almost every spot on Oahu the map suggested.
We will definitely use Snorkel Bob’s again on future visits.

Great, easy to deal with shop! Got 3 t full snorkeling equipment kits for a week for like $ 90 for three persons. It included fitted masks, fins, bags, and floaters. While the price might seem high, I am glad I did not buy equipment as originally planned. That is because both my kid and a wife were not able to master snorkeling out and ended up returning gear at the end of the day. So I ended up only with my kit for $ 30.
Once again, this shop is great!

SO GLAD I WENT!
These people had great prices and really good gear. I have glasses and got a special mask that fit my eye sight so I could actually see the fish! Also, I went for the upgrade and got the high end snorkel. I thought it was a gimmick but it turned out awesome. I might look into buying one.
For 50 Bucks I got a set up upgraded fins, mask and snorkel for a week. It was awesome because I could stick it in the car and get out at any beach and snorkel during my trip. I’m really glad I went here.
