Excellent excursion for all age groups. We ranged in age from 11-66, and a great day in the Sandbar was had by all.

The crew was extremely organized, helpful and accommodating.

We would highly recommend this excursion.

Mahalo for an excellent day in Kaneohe.

Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Hawaiian Music - Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports

It’s just ok.

Reviewed by: Christine Anderson

Sandbar is really close to land. Doesn’t really get a feel of middle of ocean. The banana boat is $25 extra. I thought it was included. The snorkeling was pretty decent. It was just okay for me. Lots of people and not enough boats, you wait to use them. Kayak and paddle boards.

Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Hawaiian Music - Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports

Outstanding experience

Reviewed by: Joyce L

Wow, where do i start? first of all, the online purchase was very easy and straight forward. you get what are being described in the details plus more -- FUN and KINDNESS from all the staffs!

let's take it from the top -- we stayed at Waikiki area, the drive to the harbor was pleasant and nice. please do arrive early to find parking though!!

Check in -> meet the staff under the red umbrella. It literally took us a minute or less. once you get a stamp on your hand for everyone in your party, you are good to go use the bathroom, change or just hang out until the boat arrives.

Once on board -> staff will tell you where to sit and once you put your stuff away you are free to get in line for lunch. Lunch is no 5-star Ritz quality, BUT it's enough to fill your belly for all the fun activities you will do. you are always welcome to go 2nd round if there are food left behind.

Before water -> staff will introduce themselves, hang out life jackets and tell you all the rules before you jump into the water. While you are in the water, there are multiple staffs in the water to help or give you a pointer of where the fishes/corals/sea cucumbers/sea urchins are. once you are tired of snorkeling you can use the paddle boats and/or kayaks. First timers? no problem, the staffs will help you to get a hang of it before you take off. if you go far beyond or get drifted by the wind/waves (like me!) they will send someone out with the speed boat or kayak to pull you back within the area...with a SMILE! let me just tell you how many times (3) i got drifted away and these people always pulled me back with a big smile on their faces.

These staffs are so kind, helpful and so happy. they really know how to put a smile on people's face. oh and the live music onboard was wonderful, you can dance your way back to the shore! i highly recommend this group for your sandbar visit!!

Great experience

Reviewed by: Family

My family of 7 with 4 kids ages 12 to 7 had a great time. It was their first time snorkeling so they were able to walk in the water and try out snorkeling rather than being thrown into the ocean to figure it out. We played volleyball, football, and kayaked. Crew was excellent.

Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Hawaiian Music - Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports

Spring Break 4/2022

Reviewed by: Deborah & family

Jesse and all crew members,

I am reaching out to thank you for all your efforts in making sure my daughter & grandchildren and I had a good time. When we arrived we expressed our disappointment and you all were so kind in reassuring us that you would do your best to make sure we had a good time. And we did!!
You were all so wonderful. Jesse, you made Jack’s day by playing football with him on the sandbar. At the end of our stay in Honolulu he said that was his favorite day of the whole vacation. I am quite sure he will remember that day all his life. And eventually my daughter and granddaughter went out and enjoyed sharing a kayak.
The lunch was very nice and all the crew members we spoke with were very kindhearted and friendly. I just can’t say enough about everyone. And Jesse, you’re also a very good singer. You and your band member are very talented!

So thank you again for making our sandbar adventure a wonderful day that we will never forget..

Sincerely,
Deborah Muehlenbein

Awesome time

I don’t even know how to swim and I had an incredible time. It was a great experience. Parasailing was my favorite part of the day. The staff were super funny and helpful. We went jet ski next and that was equally fun. Directions were clear and safety is guaranteed if you follow them. Would do it again

Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Hawaiian Music - Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports

Great for many water activities in one spot!

Reviewed by: Angie E

We loved our adventure!
We stayed in Waikiki for a short trip and decided to book with this company because it had many of the activities we wanted to do available in one trip. We chose the option to be picked up in Waikiki, and it took less than an hour to get to Kaneohe. BYO food and beverages so we packed hotdogs, pbj, water and my husband packed a beer. We also packed 2 towel and a change of clothes. There is a convenience store on the dock for last minute food and drinks; TBH we probably could have bought all our food and drinks at the dock instead of lugging it from Waikiki.
We set sail with live music to the sand bar which was incredibly magical. Took 4 songs to get to our area of the sandbar and the day we went the water was about 3 feet deep. I would ADVISE to get to the floating barge asap and get a spot because we had a large family get there first and dominate the raft. (Be courteous to others and let people enjoy the raft and don't hog it!) We got to experience all activities we wanted and it was over before we knew it. We didn't kayak and had maybe wanted one more hour but the time we were out there was enough to be highly satisfied.
We paid extra for the banana and tube rides and they were so much fun! While on the banana boat, the gentleman driving the speed boat slowed down for us to see the sea turtle that was swimming passed. What a great surprise! You only get one trip on each.
All the staff was friendly and I felt comfortable they had everything under control.
We would HIGHLY recommended this adventure, especially if you have a short time in Hawaii and want to do at lot of water activities. Great for families, too!

Fun & relax

Reviewed by: Elvy He

My daughter loves it so much. However, we don’t have big Sun that day, so I choose to stay inside of the boat most of the time. My daughter go paddleboarding and diving. She loves it. Both of us go for the banana boat, it’s too short actually like 5 mins. But it’s fun and we have people fell off. So, if the weather is good, it’ll make a big difference.

Pleasant, relaxing

Reviewed by: Oscareen

The crew was awesome! The snorkeling was a great experience. Yes, it’s VERY EARLY in the morning, but with the air temperature being cooler, the water feels warmer, which is a plus.
Saw many different kinds of fishes, and a turtle and an octopus.
It was relaxing just floating there and watching the ocean life.

Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Hawaiian Music - Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports

Amazing experience, must do while on the island of Oahu

Reviewed by: P Yang

This tour was amazing. My friend and I met the tour guides and boat at the dock in Kaneohe and once we got onto the boat, we received a decent lunch. I highly recommend doing the afternoon package for the food and better weather. The boat ride took about 15 minutes and we were entertained with live music along the way. When you dock, they give you about 4 hours to do anything you want on the sandbar. From snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding or just hanging out on the floating bar. I highly recommend this as a must do activity if you are on the island of Oahu. This boat tour is definitely worth the money and so much fun!

ワイキキビーチ サーフィン1時間プライベートレッスン <1~4名まで/ロイヤルハワイアンホテル>

The best experience 最高の経験

Reviewed by: ALOHA

I had the best memories surfing at the popular beach in Waikiki while looking at Diamond Head. The lecture was easy to understand as they made an effort to use Japanese. They also took photos during the surfing session. However, it was a bit disappointing that it cost $50.

ワイキキの人気でにぎわってるビーチでダイヤモンドヘッドを見ながらサーフィンができて最高の思い出になりました。
レクチャーも日本語を頑張って使っていただきわかりやすかったです。
サーフィン最中の写真撮影もしていただけました。
ただ50ドルかかってしまうのが残念でした。

Reply from activity provider

Thank you for the 5-star rating and your comments. We're glad to hear you enjoyed your experience. Regarding the photos, our company does not provide photography services; we work with another company called Beach Boy Photography. Underwater photography and videography require significant skill, and due to staff hiring and insurance, we believe the minimum price of $50 is unavoidable. Please understand that this is offered as an additional service, not as a requirement. We look forward to your next visit. Mahalo!

5つ星のレイティング、そしてコメント、有難うございます。楽しんで頂けて何よりです。さて、写真の件ですが、弊社では写真のサービスはしておらず、ビーチボーイフォトグラフィーという他の会社に依頼して行っております。水中でとる写真・動画はかなりスキルを必要とするもので、スタッフ雇用、そして保険などを含めておりますので最低$50のお値段は避けられないのだと思います。ですので強制でなく、追加のサービスとして提供しています事をご理解ください。またのお越しをお待ちしております。マハロ!

First off, the staff. Super friendly, super helpful, super efficient. The Kaneohe Sandbar is fun enough as is, but with S.U.P’s, kayaks, and a floating “chilling” barge, it was a blast. Family friendly. Had my three boys in tow, ages 5,7, and 15. Many mahalos to the great staff. I don’t usually post reviews, but felt the need to share. The band playing to and from the sandbar was the cherry on top!
