Hawaii
My daughter Crystal and I went to the Kaneohe sandbar on July 26. Although it started with a little rain, it didn't damper (pun intended, lol) our adventure. We were greeted by a great team on board the catamaran. Especially Jesse, such a wonderful guy. He and another band member sang and played great music to and from the sandbar. Everyone were such fun and really made us feel special. We celebrated Crystal's birthday. We even were surprised with a private tender boat ride to go see a beautiful sea turtle very close to our boat. So fantastic! Thank you all for a unforgettable day.
Luna, Alex, Evan and Capt. Eric (All the crew) were terrific, super friendly and overall helpful. It was such a enjoyable, fun, memorable experience especially if you are booking this with kids. The only thing is to make sure that you bring snacks or food aboard which they inform you about on their instructions as they only provide light snacks (protein bars, water, and lemonade)
Lastly, it can get really crowded on the boat. And so, check in as early as possible to secure your spot inside the boat especially if you are traveling with your family.
The excursion was the perfect way to spend my birthday! It was very well organized from the pick-up all the way at to drop off! The music onboard was so enjoyable and had lots of people singing along!!!!!! At the sandbar there was soooooo much to do!! We tried it all and even learned how to paddle board!! Staff were all amazing and willing to lend a hand and making sure we were all safe!!! This was our favourite thing we did on our whole trip and wished it lasted longer!!!
We did one of the glass bottom kayak tours while in Oahu and had a great time. Hunter and Ramsey were our guides and were amazing! Our group had some younger children, and the guides made sure everyone had fun and was able to stay together. I would highly recommend this!
This was such a blast! My daughter and I rented a tandem canoe and spent a glorious day around the reef fields. We would come up on a drop off, drop anchor in a shallow area and then just turn on the GoPro and swim down the reef wall with the schools of fish as our guides. Many different species of fish, a few octopus, and sea snakes. We could also hear the “crackling” of the coral (which sounds like Rice Krispies in milk), which was something you can’t appreciate when you’re in large groups of people because of the noise. Amazing experience— would do it again, but be sure and bring your “reef safe” sunscreen.
Aloha Shelley! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure! And thank you for taking the time to leave this amazing review and photo. That is really great and we appreciate it very much. Stoked to hear you had this kind of experience kayaking and snorkeling with us and saw so much marine life. Kane'ohe Bay is great for that and I'm glad you had a great experience of it. Also, thank you for the REEF SAFE sunscreen PSA. Very, very important. We are very appreciative of that kind of feedback. Hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!
It was a fun experience and the staff was awesome. They made us feel very comfortable.
This was the most organized excursion we went on, everyone was separated into even groups and told what activity they were going to do. Go Pro’s were used for both parasailing and Jet ski experience and the crew for parasail also took pictures while we were in the air. Everyone was very nice/helpful. Nothing felt rushed, we definitely got our money’s worth and would recommend future visitors to book with them ☺️
The tour guide was wonderful. Our bus driver Jimmy did a fantastic job. They only disappoint was the snorkeling, but then again we are experienced and for beginners it was great.
Great guides for first time and friendly, professional
Our family had an amazing time on this fishing trip. The crew was sooo friendly and kind! They were so helpful when I had to nurse my baby on board and they gave us ginger chews if we felt nauseous. We highly recommend them and would be so happy to come back.
Since it was my first time and I was alone, I chose a private lesson. A Japanese instructor accompanied me. After a very simple lesson on land, we headed straight to the sea. Towards the end, paddling was a bit tough, but I had plenty of time to enjoy it. However, there weren't many instructions, so a private lesson might not have been necessary.
初めてで、1人だったのでプライベートを選びました。日本人のインストラクターがついてくれました。非常簡単な陸でのレッスンの後、すぐに海へ。最後の方パドルがきつかったですが、時間たっぷり楽しめました。ただインストラクションはあまり多くなかったので、プライベートにする必要はなかったかもしれません。
I had a fun experience!
I didn't realize how difficult it would be, and paddling out to the waves was so exhausting.
It was hard, but I had a great time.
Surfing is indeed challenging.
However, if I can experience it even a little, I might get hooked.
I learned the difference between surfing and bodyboarding.
The local instructor was seasoned, kind, and friendly, which made it enjoyable as well.
It became a wonderful memory.
Thank you very much!
楽しい体験をさせて頂きました!
やはり難しいし、沖までパドリングして波の場所まで行き来する事があんなにしんどいとは知りませんでした。
ハードでしたがとても楽しかったです。
やはりサーフィンは難しい♀️
でも少しでも体感出来ればはまりそうです。
ボディボードとの違いを思い知りました。
ロコの年季の入った方が先生で、優しくて親しみがありそれも面白かったです。
良い思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました
The captain and his crew were outstanding and made the experience amazing. They were professional, attentive, informative and fun! The snorkeling and snuba spots were so worthwhile.
The only bad part was the boat ride to the 2nd location, but it was because of the wind and the amount of water that sprayed up. The crew warned us about it and offered other places for everyone to sit.
Booking was very easy and they did a nice job of working with us since not all of our parties made it on the same boat at first. It was not the nicest day but the crew on board did there best to keep up safe and allow us to have fun at the same time. I loved that the had live singing as well as lunch for everyone. Another plus was that there was restrooms. I couldn't complain about all of the different activities that we could do. Book the banana ride ahead of time is my only tip!
I chose jet skiing, parasailing, and banana boating! I was taken from the pickup location to a boat on the water, where I participated in each activity. There were several people who spoke Japanese and a few others who understood it, so I didn't have much trouble with conversation or explanations. They engaged with me a lot, which made the waiting time not boring at all. Each activity was very enjoyable, and they took proper safety precautions, so I think it was a satisfying day. It was really great that I could purchase photos and videos after the activities!
ジェットスキー、パラセーリング、バナナボートを選択しました!
ピックアップ場所から水上にある船に連れて行ってもらい、そこでそれぞれのアクティビティに参加させていただきました。
日本語を話せる方が何人かいらっしゃるのと、日本語がわかる方がその他数人いらっしゃったので、会話や説明にはあまり困らず、たくさん話しかけていただいて、待ち時間もあまり退屈しませんでした。
それぞれのアクティビティもとても楽しく、安全にもきちんと配慮してくださり、満足のいく日になったと思います。写真や動画も、アクティビティのあと購入できたので本当に良かったです!
Very well organized tour. The tour left on time and excellent management. My kids (age 8-16) love the activities.
The staff was outstanding and fun. The 10-minute boat ride was informative and not bad at all for those afraid of seasickness.
The pesto chicken wrap that came with the full day package was dry, it needed extra dressing. The included activities (kayak, paddle board, etc..) were good. Beach volleyball nets and balls were ok (bring your own ball if you have it), the sand had a lot of hard marble-sized cones from the surrounding trees, tough on the feet - good shade though.
Such a fun and thrilling experience! Enjoyed the combo of paddling out and then riding/surfing the waves in. First-time for us plus our two teenagers, and everyone loved it! Staff are so friendly and helpful, too. Definitely recommend booking in advance like we did! Won't regret it!
We are so happy you enjoyed your canoe experience! We agree, it is such a thrill! Thank you for taking the time to write a review and for the 5 star rating. Aloha
I went as an observer to take pictures and video for my grandaughter and her friend. To start, the staff was very professional, polite, and respectful. They so went out of their way to esure that everyone felt safe and comfortable. This was the girls first time parasailing and jet skiing. This was the highlight of their entire trip.
Went to sandbar and back. The view was great and the weather was beautiful. Arrived there early in the morning and rented dry bag and the anchor. Staff was helpful in explaining the route and things to remember. Overall very enjoyable experience. Would like to recommend to anyone who wants to see the sandbar in person.
Aloha Zhu! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure! I am stoked to hear you had such an awesome experience and that our staff gave you good instruction. Thank you very much for taking the time to leave this great review for us. We really appreciate your recommendation, and hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!
Very warm staff and great opportunities for activities!
Amazing, Great fun on the sand bar. Had my 5 and 8 year old with us. Great for all ages. Added bonus was the Hawaiian Band playing amazing music.
Great fun! The guys were great. Magnificent views!
The Sandbar was an awesome experience with an amazing crew. I would highly recommend. Be sure to come prepared with towel and any food/drink you would want to enjoy.
Thanks to my agent for recommending this, I had a lot of fun!
Highly Recommended!!! Tour guide Ramsey was friendly, knowledgeable and great fun! Will definitely ask for him next time
800 Year Fish Pond. Learned about predator fish. Cool Boat Ride with Blue Water and Awesome View of Chinaman’s Hat!
My son and husband did this as their first scuba adventure and it was perfect! Great instructors and setting made my son feel at ease and safe with his surroundings. I would definitely recommend this activity to anyone who’s thinking about a different ocean experience!
Everything provided was great. The boat itself was clean and comfortable. All the excursions provided off the boat were awesome! The crew were so nice and a ton of fun! I was able to see a sea turtle and film it with my go pro while on the banana boat ride. The drive notices the sea turtle and slowed down for us! It was PERFECT! The views were spectacular!
If you have the chance to go parasailing do it! Especially with this company. Amazing crew and easy check in. The experience is amazing and for about 80-100 photos you can pay 40
Dollars and get all those amazing pictures while In the air. They don’t ask for tip but please do it as they deserve it for making the experience memorable.
