This is a cruising experience around Waikiki from the beach in front of Sheraton Waikiki. The interaction between the captain and another crew member creates an extraordinary cruising experience.

シェラトンワイキキ前の ビーチから ワイキキを 一周するクルージングです。キャプテンともう一人の クルーの掛け合いと 異次元に感じる
クルージング感激です。

We where a party of 8 adults. It was such a beautiful day from the time we got on the boat the staff where very welcoming and gave us a a run done of the do's and dont's. On the way out to the sandbar we where entertained by two very talented singers. We had donuts ,water and soft drink for morning tea. only took about 15 min to arrive at the sandbar.It was such a lovely morning you could do some canoeing, paddle boarding, Volley ball, snorkeling,or just chilling on the barge.
All up we had an awesome day and would highly recommend doing it.
we would all do it again the next time we are in Hawaii.Do yourself a favour and book it next time you go to Hawaii.

Super fun! A friend booked it for us and we had a blast! Staff were friendly and super helpful and telling us where to go and what to expect!

The sandbar is so much fun! We got to go with 2 other couple friends and we had a blast. The weather was perfect and the staff were super helpful in letting us know where to kayak to and the time expectations to get to each location point

Super fun! They tell you where to go to get the clearest water and snorkel depending on the weather and climate of that day too! So much fun!

This was my second time, following my first visit in August 2019. There were concerns about high waves due to the remnants of a storm from the previous day, but our Japanese guide, Nino, was very kind and sent us many photos. My wife and I were the only participants, which allowed us to enjoy the experience at a leisurely pace. The only downside was that the snorkeling visibility was worse compared to my last visit due to the storm. However, this is an activity I would like to participate in again if I visit the Big Island.

２０１９/8　に続いて２回目でした。前日の嵐の残りで波の高く不安がありましたが日本語ガイドのニノさんの親切な対応と写真もたくさん送っていただき私と妻の２人のみ参加でゆっくりと楽しむことができました。ただシュノーケリングが前日の嵐で前回に比べ海の透明度が悪くそれだけが残念でした。また、ハワイ島に行けば参加したいアクティビティです。

We travelled to the Oahu to enjoy our vacation and thought about to explore the Kaneohe Bay. And then we found out the Kayak Kaneohe activity online and we booked it! The trip is way beyond our expectation. Before the activity date, the trip organizer will send us all the detailed information about the activity date, etc where to meet, the kayak route. On the activity date, although we were about 15 minutes late, the trip organizer still waited us there and didn't complain anything. When we arrived, he helped us to equip the Kayak to our car and taught us how to wear the safe jacket and pull the Kayak into the water. He is super nice and knowledgeable.

It took us around 1 hour to Kayak to the sandbar. The view was very nice during the Kayak experience. When we arrived the sandbar, although the weather was not very nice but the water was still super clean. We have snorkeled in the Sandbar about half an hour and then we kayaked back to the harbor point. The whole trip took us about 4 hours. Although the Kayak was a little bit challenging, we still highly recommend to book this trip! It was very fun to explore the Kaneohe Bay Sandbar!

My partner & I went on my birthday and it will always be a day to remember. The crew and staff were brilliant. The music was beautiful and the views just take your breath away. I highly recommend the banana boat and biscuit water rides.

We spent a wonderful half day. Saw many fish, corals & one turtle. The crew was helpful & joking with us the whole time. Food was nice & tasty.

I felt a bit seasick on the boat, but it was a fun time. I got to know a Korean couple and we took pictures together. Thank you for the enjoyable time. "Thank you!"

船に若干酔いましたが楽しい時間でした。
韓国人のカップルとも仲良くなり写真の取り合いをしました。
楽しい時間をありがとうございます。
「感謝！」

Even a 5-year-old could fly! At first, he was scared, but the scenery was so beautiful that he said he had fun after flying.
However, I recommend taking motion sickness medication because the boat sways quite a bit and the waiting time is long.

The guide was very friendly and spoke to my son several times, who was feeling nervous. Since the landing is quite intense, if your child isn't okay with getting water on their face, it might be traumatic.

We were supposed to gather at 2:00 PM, but we ended up meeting at 2:30 PM, and we returned around 4:30 PM. Even if you gather early, I think it's fine to be cutting it close since there was quite a bit of waiting time.

5歳の子どもでも飛べました！最初は怖がっていましたが、景色がとてもきれいで、飛んだ後は楽しかったといっていました。
でも、船はかなり揺れるプラス待ち時間が長いために酔い止めを飲んでいくことをお勧めします。

ガイドさんもとてもフレンドリーで、緊張している息子に何度も話しかけてくれました。
思いっきり着水するので、水が顔に濡れても平気な子でないとトラウマになるかもしれません。

時間は予定時刻よりかなり遅れて2時半集合でしたが、帰ってきたのは4時半ごろでした。はやく集合しても、待ち時間がかなりあったのでギリギリでも大丈夫だと思います。

It was a particularly windy day, and perhaps because it was somewhat cloudy, the water was cold, and everyone was getting in with blue lips. The water was about adult chest height, making it quite difficult for a 5-year-old to move around without assistance. It may not have been suitable for small children. There were other kids present, but they all seemed to be in a bad mood after getting in the water. The babies were crying loudly. Since it was quite cold after entering the water, I recommend bringing a long-sleeved change of clothes.

However, the guides were all friendly and kindly explained things in broken Japanese. I think it would have been enjoyable if the weather had been nice and there hadn't been any wind.

ちょうど風が強い日で、曇り気味だったせいか、水が冷たくてみなさん唇真っ青になりながら水に入っていました。大人の胸くらいまで水深で、5歳児にとっては補助なしでは水の中を移動するのもやっとでした。小さい子ども向けのアクティビティではなかったかもしれません。他にもお子さんがいらっしゃいましたが、どの子も入水後は機嫌が悪そうでした。ましてや赤ちゃんなんてギャン泣きしてました。入水後かなり寒かったので長袖の着替えを持っていくことをお勧めします。
でも、ガイドさんたちはみんなフレンドリーで日本語もカタコトながら親切に説明してくれました。天気が良くて、風さえなければ楽しかったと思います。

There’s no point in going out to sea just to see nothing but water.

The text should clearly state that the beach is not visible during the travel time. If I had known that, I wouldn’t have made the reservation.

ただ船で行く海の中www
砂浜も見えないただの海で行く意味なし。

もっとわかりやすく本文に、行く時間に砂浜が見えないことを記載するべき。それがわかっていたら予約してない。

Starting from Waikiki Beach, you can have the best experience with the wind at your back. The waves are calm, and the breeze is pleasant—definitely recommended!

ワイキキビーチから出発して、風をうけて最高の体験ができる。波も穏やかで風が心地よく絶対おススメします。

Awesome day on the Sandbar!!! They literally provide you with TONS to do. Better than guided tours!

Knowledgeable and fun crew. Lots of positive energy and the food was tasty.

I think this tour is quite a bargain. After all, it includes hotel pick-up, lunch, rental bicycles, lockers, and free snorkeling and board rentals! Is there such a great tour available?

You can also shop in Kailua, swim in the beautiful sea, and we even got to see a honu (sea turtle)! Many of the staff spoke Japanese and were very helpful in answering any questions we had! Natsue, Emi, and Tomo were all friendly and pleasant!

I highly recommend this tour! ♪

このツアーはかなりお得だと思います。
何しろホテルまで送迎付き、ランチ付き、レンタル自転車付き、ロッカー有り、シュノーケリングやボードも無料で貸してくれる！
こんなお得なツアーあるでしょうか？

カイルアで買い物も出来るし、綺麗な海でも泳げるし、何とホヌにも会えました！
スタッフも日本語分かる方が多く、分からない事は丁寧に教えてくれました！
なつえさん、えみさん、ともくん、みんな気さくで感じ良かったです！
お世話になりました！

とてもおすすめのツアーです♪

Honestly the best idea we had on this hawaii trip! Probably the best part was going all the way out to the sand bar and snorkeling until 4. I totally recommend doing this again.

This activity was so much fun and absolutely worth it. Purchasing was easy, directions and parking was super easy. We drove our own car from air b&b in Waikiki. Little store in parking area for last minute drink/snack purchases. We brought our own floaters. The ride to sand bar on boat was nice and smooth with live music! The time on sandbar was amazing. The views all around were so so pretty! The kayak/paddle boarding was so much fun! Def bring your own drinks and snacks. Would definitely repeat!

I arrived an hour early, but I was able to join the previous group! We went parasailing right after getting on the boat. I didn't understand everything in English, but it seems like you can have photos taken and buy them later. When I participated, there were two groups of Japanese people and two groups of foreigners. Everyone was really friendly, and it was a lot of fun!

1時間前に到着してしまいましたが、1つ前のグループに参加させてもらえることができました！
船ですこし出たところですぐにパラセーリングでした。英語でわからなかったのですが、写真を撮ってもらって後から写真を買うこともできるみたいです。私が参加した時は日本人2組と、外国の方が2組でした。皆さんノリが良く、楽しかったです！

Great way to spent the day! Perfect for couples, everyone uses a double kayak. The included lunch was nice at the waterfall. Easy hike after the kayak route to the waterfall, any type of shoes or no shoes are doable. Our tour guide Izzy was super friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you !!

Would recommend to everyone. Crew was very polite and friendly had a blast.

Thank you everyone.

We had such a great time with KBOS. All the crew are amazing, we love the fact that the captains were women. Had live music from extremely talented singers and they were so nice and caring. The lifeguard even saved my friend from getting stung by a Portuguese man of war!
The team deserves to go to Las Vegas for their Christmas party hint hint For the boss LOL.
Mahalo for the best time❤️❤️

Uncle Kevin was a great guide, the whole group was nice and we spent more time together than expected.
The activities were so/so - and quite short for some. Also Turtle beach stop was cancelled while other stops (unplanned) took a while.
We saw a lot and learned about Hawaiian culture and life.
4 star for the tour 5 star for the guide

It was amazing. As soon as we boarded, we received lunch, and they wrapped it for those who planned to eat later. It was almost my first time snorkeling, but they provided thorough explanations, and when I looked into the sea, there were so many fish, I was very satisfied. It was definitely a good idea to bring marine shoes; they are a must. For other activities, we didn't have to wait in line; we did them as they became available. If you plan to use the snorkeling mask again later, keep it at your seat on the boat. There was one men's restroom and two women's restrooms, which I used several times. It was helpful because I started to feel cold while in the water and needed to go to the restroom. The restrooms were quite clean. After playing for an hour and a half with breaks in between, it was enough, and we went back to the boat to change and enjoy lunch leisurely. I dislike shuttle buses, so I used Uber for both trips. It cost about $50 to $60 one way from Waikiki. The staff spoke a little Japanese, but all the safety instructions were in English, so I thought it would have been better if there was something written in Japanese for Japanese guests. This became the best memory of my trip to Hawaii.

最高でした。乗船してすぐランチを受け取るのですが、後で食べるつもりの人にはラップしてくれます。スノーケリングはほぼ初めてでしたが、説明をしっかりしてくれて、海の中をのぞくともう沢山の魚がいて大満足。マリンシューズは持って行って正解。持参必須です。他のアクティビティも順番を待つという感じではなく、空いているものからやりました。スノーケリングマスクは、後でまた使う場合は船の自分の座席に置いておく。トイレは男用1つ、女性用2つあり、何回か利用。海に入っていると寒くなってトイレに行きたくなるので助かりました。充分キレイなお手洗いでした。途中休憩しながら１時間半も遊んだらもう充分で、船に上がって着替えてゆっくりランチを食べました。送迎車が嫌いなので往復ともUberTAXIを利用。片道ワイキキから50〜60ドル。スタッフは少し日本語もできましたが、注意事項の説明とかは全部英語だったので、日本人向けに日本語で書いたものでもあったらもっと良かったと思いました。今回のハワイ旅行で一番の思い出になりました。

This tour was amazing! My husband and I had such a blast. The whole crew was super friendly and helpful. All the water sports activities that were available was a huge plus. The floating lounge was so cool. The live music was such a vibe, those musicians were top notch. Wouldn’t change a thing. Worth every penny. Mahalo!

The check in and out process were quick and smooth as long as you have reservation. You can pay by card too.
You can rent out the kayaks and snorkeling gear on site.
Debriefing session is nice and short and they give you a map and show you the best spots to snorkel and sandbar.
The only hard thing is that it is hard to determine where the snorkeling parts were at even with the map. Once you are at sea, its hard to find landmarks. Adding landmarks would be helpful. The sandbar was so nice!

Four years ago, it was canceled due to a hurricane. I thought the prices were high for optional tours in Hawaii due to inflation and the weak yen, but I decided to give it another try for the memories. At first, I was a bit scared, but I quickly got used to it and enjoyed the view of the high-rise hotels in Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea.

前回（４年前）はハリケーンでなくなく中止。久しぶりのハワイは物価高と円安でオプショナルツアーも高いなあと思っていましたが、想い出に再トライしました。
最初は少し怖かったけど、すぐに慣れて、海からみるワイキキの高層ホテルとダイヤモンドヘッドを楽しみました。

Such an amazing experience! from beginning to end absolutely loved how the crew was very helpful and giving directions too. Loved how there was so much to do and the sandbar was absolutely beautiful forever will remember this experience with my family, also felt very safe doing the activities outside the boat the crew was always looking out for everyone. I will defiantly book this activity again when I return to Oahu highly recommend if you get the chance to book this activity.

It was a great beginner class, got to see lots of fish, and a star fish. Great first time experience.
