Kaneohe Bay Sandbar Ocean Sports Adventure with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Music

Great way to have fun with family and friends in Oahu!

Reviewed by: Kevin, 2023/06/02

It was a very nice tour. It takes us out to the Kaneohe sandbar while providing live music entertainment. After arrival, we could choose to do a variety of activities including snorkelling, paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming or just relaxing at a floating lounge. You will be able to see coral reef and fish there. Staff is there to help and supervise. You can leave your belongings at the boat. The good thing about being in the middle of water is that your belongings are safe. I recommend wearing some kind of footwear on the sandbar because the sand there could be a little rough. Overall a very nice way to spend a morning or afternoon. Time flew by fast.

Loved every moment! All of the crew was so helpful and kind, from the time we got on board and even with the water events (kayaking and paddle boarding). The musicians were top notch, such beautiful voices. Highly recommend and will definitely do this again.

So much fun!

Reviewed by: Lis, 2023/05/29

The crew was amazing and so helpful! KBOS seems to have an area all to themselves, so it felt like we were on a private island. There are opportunities to do a lot of activities with plenty of time so you don’t ever feel rushed.

Very awesome trip

Reviewed by: Katrina, 2023/05/29

We had a great time on this trip!
It was very relaxing and fun! The stuff took care of us and made sure we were safe. We snorkeled, saw some fish, we did kayaking and paddle boarding and relaxed on a floating island with chairs. Lunch was also great! Music was so beautiful and fun! And the stuff took awesome photos of us! Thank you!
Would do this again!

ハワイ パラセイリング 高さ120m/150m ヒルトンワイキキ byハワイアン・パラセイル

写真サービスあり

Reviewed by: るーてぃあす, 2023/05/29

想像以上に高く飛びます。出発前は霧雨がぱらついていましたが出発時には晴天。上からはダイアモンドヘッドもワイキキビーチも一望できて壮観です。風が強くて上空で左右に揺れるので途中で酔いそうになりました。
船はもちろんですが、上空での揺れにも備えて乗り物酔いに弱い方は事前の酔い止めの服薬をおすすめします。
飛んでいる間は頼めば写真撮影サービスもあります。80-100枚以上撮影してくれてデータダウンロードとメモリーカード付で$40です。
私たちは飛んでいる間に船上の別のお客さんが吐いちゃうというアクシデントのため42枚しか撮影してもらえなかったので半額の$20で売ってもらいました。購入を決断する前に写真の確認をさせてもらえるので一応頼んでおいて納得できたら購入するという形でもいいと思います。

Kualoa Ranch Secret Island Fun Beach Activities - Kayak, SUP, Volleyball & More

best choice we made during our family trip in Hawaii!

Reviewed by: DKH, 2023/05/28

Secret Island is a very special place for our family. my daughter got a wedding in Moli'i garden and secret island during Covid.
we have a wonderful memory of her wedding with our closed family and friends only under 20 people.
it was a magical experience,so we had been always talking how we can go back to the island.
and we finally planned a family trip to Hawaii this spring, and we have been searched many different websites which offers a tour to the secret island.

this website did not have many reviews compared to other major travel websites, but their prices were the best so we decided to give it a shot.

and the decision was the best!
the reservation process, confirmation, instructions and everything was GREAT!
it was a little bit of cold and rainy day so we were the only group going to the island that day. we basically rented the entire island to ourselves.

we highly recommend this webstie for Kualoa ranch tour!

Kualoa Ranch Secret Island Fun Beach Activities - Kayak, SUP, Volleyball & More

Good fun for families

Reviewed by: Kelly, 2023/05/27

We enjoyed our half-day experience. As tourists, the Secret Island experience was nice because it satisfied my desire to do kayaking and paddle boarding. The beach was nice for young kids because they had supplies to build sand-castles, however that is the most of what my young children really enjoyed. In retrospect, most of the activities there would be best for older children and teenagers to really enjoy. For families with younger children, it may be best to buy some sand toys and head to a local beach.

Kaneohe Bay Sandbar Ocean Sports Adventure with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Music

So much fun!

Reviewed by: Mike, 2023/05/27

From the moment we boarded the boat, we were provided a delicious lunch and greeted with the friendly staff and hilarious emcee.

The live Hawaiian music created an ambience of enchantment. The live performances were sensational, perfectly capturing the spirit of the islands.

The variety of water activities was truly impressive. Snorkeling provided us a stunning glimpse into the vibrant marine life, while the sandbar volleyball turned out to be an unexpected delight. I was personally taken with standup paddle boarding (SUP) and kayaking - both were exhilarating experiences that offered different perspectives of the water.

Not to forget the floating lounge platform! It was the perfect place to unwind, enjoy our drinks and snacks, and simply soak in the beauty of the surroundings. Everything was wonderfully organized and the boat was equipped with all the necessary amenities.

In short, this activity was more than just a day out on the water; it was a vibrant blend of culture, excitement, and relaxation. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable Hawaiian adventure. Five stars are simply not enough!

念願のパラセーリングは、ポイントにつくまでの道のりも楽しかったですし、対空時間も思いのほか長かったと思います。ただ、写真撮影もしてもらいましたが、写真撮影代が高かった割に全体的にやっつけ感は否めず、、、チップアピールはしっかりされたので、ちょっと引いてしまいました。

Morning sandbar tour

Reviewed by: Samantha , 2023/05/22

My boyfriend and I are locals and haven’t been to the sandbar in years. This tour was everything we were hoping for and more! The staff was super friendly, engaging, and really went out of their way to ensure everyone had a good time. The boat is pretty spacious so there’s plenty of shade when you need a break from the sun. Plus you can’t go wrong with live music! Not sure if any other tours offer that! We will definitely be booking again :).

ボートで結構沖まで進み船の上から飛び立ちました!波でボートは結構揺れましたが、120mの高さは下から見ていると案外高く、恐怖で船酔いどころではなかったです。笑
飛んでみると山と海の綺麗な景色に癒されました。船から写真を撮影してくださり、後から購入しました。(40ドル)あっという間でしたが、楽しい経験になりました。

Sacred Falls Adventure - Wailua River Kayak, Hike & Waterfall Swim

Really enjoyable morning.

Reviewed by: LammyP, 2023/05/20

We did the 7:30am tour and am glad we got out before it got too busy on the trail. I had never kayaked before but our guide, Garrett or "G" was able to answer any questions I had and I was quickly put at ease.
The kayaking up to the trail was good and the river not too busy. The trail was around a mile or so. We knew from the pictures that there's a crossing over water but we weren't aware there were about 4 each way and that one was about hip height. It was fine, we were just taken aback a bit.
Some of the trail was muddy, some was boarded walkways and some was literally clambering over jagged rocks. Wouldn't be suitable for anyone with mobility issues!
We only had around 40 minutes at the sacred falls, which was a shame. A little longer would've been better.
A highlight was meeting a little shama thrush that G had befriended.
The trail back seemed muddier due to the amount of folk on the trail.
The kayak back was a little harder as we were going against the flow of the river, but overall it was an incredible experience.

Comments from activity operators

Aloha Lammy,

You should write a guide book. Great review and gives potential clients an idea of what to expect on the river and trail.

We ...you are lucky to have Garrick sharing his particular brand of aloha. Garrett is great water man with a real handle on the natural and cultural history of the area, while keeping it all safe and fun.

We try to spend an hour by the falls, but that is always dependent on group and weather dynamics.

Your only error is paddling back you are actually paddling with the slow current, but it is paddling into the wind that can at time test your mettle.

Stay well and active and thanks for taking the time to share.

A hui hou,

サンドバー(砂州)シュノーケルクルーズ&マリンスポーツ 海に浮かぶラウンジや船上でのライブミュージックも <食事付き>

とにかくキレイ!これぞハワイの海!!

Reviewed by: MOMO, 2023/05/19

いつか行ってみたいなと思っていたサンドバーでシュノーケリングとSUPをしてきました!
まず、別料金ですが近くのホテルまでバンで迎えに来てもらい港まで30分ぐらいで着きました!
(15人ぐらい乗っていたかな?1番最後に乗ったのでそれぐらいの時間でした)
港に着くと、トイレがあるので済ませておき、書類にサインなどして説明を受けました。
トイレは船の中にもあり、女性用2つ男性用1つありました。
日本人の女性が1人と日本語を喋れる男性(関西弁笑)が1人いました。
船に乗ると、男性2人がギターとウクレレで演奏して盛り上げてました!
(休憩で船に戻った時に、スピーカーで音楽をかけられていたので曲をリクエストしたらかけてくれました)
初めてSUPに挑戦しましたが、風が吹いていた為漕ぐよりも流されるに近いかんじでした笑
ただ、風が止むとしっかり進むので楽しかったです!
赤い浮きより先に行ってはいけなかったので、頑張って漕いでましたがなかなか進まず、それを見かねた日本語を喋れる男性(関西弁)が引っ張って助けてくれました笑
シュノーケリングは珊瑚礁の近くに行くと、スタッフの方がフランスパン?を渡してくれて、それを海の中でちぎると魚達が出てきてたくさん見る事が出来ました!
あと珊瑚礁の方には小さいキレイな魚がいましたが、船の近くの方の腰より高いぐらいの所に行き餌をやっていると1m弱ぐらいのとても大きい魚もたくさん見る事が出来ました!
スタッフの方に聞くと、白身の魚で食べたら美味しいそうです笑
残念ながらウミガメは見ることが出来なかったですが、また次回の楽しみにしておきます
5月上旬に参加しましたが、海からあがると肌寒く、着替えは持って来ずにバスタオルのみだったのでワンピースなど簡単に着れる着替えがあったらよかったと後悔しました。
天気も良くて全体的に良いツアーでした!
