Hawaii
I loved this experience. We got there early to find parking and decided to eat breakfast. My spouse took in the scenery, everything was so peaceful. The boat ride was about 7 minutes and the area was beautiful. We got to do most of the activities, ate donuts and drank juice. Would love to return and do it again.
Awesome experience. I survived the Mokes. It was a long kayak ride from the main canal to the Mokes, very challenging but worth it. By returning the kayak gears and eating the lunch that was included, I also could get a bike which was awesome to ride around the beach.
We really enjoyed this cruise! The lunch, live music, helpful crew, and activities were all on point. Easily the best thing I’ve done on island! It was the perfect way to spend the afternoon! I wish it was longer because it was that much fun!
It was an amazing experience of Kayaking and Pauno has done great job as our guide
He was very patient with us and took photos of us from standup paddle board
Wherever he found turtles he took us there and we are truly happy with the experience
The trainer for paddle boarding is great! We don’t know his name. He is a very skinny guy, tan, looks like a local or asian like. He is very helpful!
This was the best excursion for my family. My kids got to snorkel, kayak, and play vball. Everyone had soooo much fun! The staff is amazing and the musician played the best oldies. I knew almost all the songs!!! It ended up being karaoke night.
The maps are not helpful. Once out of the cove, it was hard to find the landmarks to orient ourselves. Did not see any fish or turtles while snorkeling. The wind was so strong and guides did not give advice on how to navigate in high winds- were paddling hard on right side trying to go left but kayak continued to go right. Upon finally making it back to the cove the guides did not get up from their seats, didn’t assist us getting out of kayaks and just told us to put the paddles and life jackets back ourselves.
Would not recommend.
Aloha. I am sorry to hear that you had a disappointing experience kayaking and snorkeling with us. And sorry that you did not find our map or our staff's instructions helpful. Was there any information missing from our map or anything that we could have added to the map to make it more helpful? Any feedback would be appreciated as we would love to improve if possible. Unfortunately we can never guarantee wildlife sightings. The animals are always there, you just have to be in the right place at the right time. I'm sorry that they weren't there for you that day. And although we are in the flattest bay on the island, we are still exposed to the wind and conditions, and there is almost always wind involved in ocean kayaking. But very sorry again that overall your experience was disappointing.
Let's start with the good. Crew was fabulous. Boat was great. Live music was excellent. Variety of activities was excellent--especially the banana boat and disc events--which I highly recommend you add to your experience. Paddle boarding and kayaks were also a nice option for the family. Food/drinks was good too.
The not so good--the snorkeling was just average because we were not allowed to have much freedom to explore. They should allow a time allotment for the extra perks so more can enjoy the extra activities. The main negative was the music they played traveling back to shore--although fun for young adults and old--not too great for my 7 y/o as there was not the consideration of having music with bad language being played for her to hear and ask questions.
Still a good experience overall and would do again IF the music was at least filtered a bit.
Everything was awesome !!! The staff, the activities , the environment , live music. No complaints at all.
Loved it. Thank you !!!!
The staff were so friendly and helpful! The band is also very talented and made our time during the boat ride even more enjoyable! We added the banana boat and bumper tube and it was well worth it! Snorkeling was our favorite and we would definitely go again. The sandbar was so beautiful and so enjoyable! 10/10 recommend!!
Very friendly crew and overall a good experience. Just a bit too crowded in the boat especially while we are still in a pandemic.
The boat was clean overall and great music played on our way there and way back. Lunch was fresh and nice. Overall a good experience with the ability to choose what you wanna do. Kayaking was fun and other options to paddle board or snorkel. No sea life since the coral reefs are dead unfortunately.
Absolutely breathtaking beautiful clear water. The live band and crew were amazing. The tide was very low so we were not able to do much snorkeling here, although we did see a few different varieties of fish. This was mostly a place to enjoy the water, views, and have some beverages in the sun. A must see when visiting Oahu.
So much value. We all enjoyed this experience so much. For one price, you get to do so many activities that warrant the same price on their own. The crew and entertainment were excellent. My kids asked to come back before they even got off the boat. Mahalo!
Dylan and Mack were very hospitable and entertaining. They showed they were knowledgeable and experienced. My family of four (two teenagers) had a great time. Check in was fast and easy. I would definately recommend!
Husband my 3 year old and i had a great time best experience ever 100% recommended
We love and really enjoyed the snorkeling. The tour guide was so nice and fun . We saw a lot of different colors of the fishes. It was so clear and shallow. A lot of activities that we could play in the beach. They gave us a lot of time to play in the beach. Worth the $ . We will come back
Beautiful day on the water, saw TONS of fish, my hushband loved it! Great crew too. Mahalo!!
This was one of our most fun activities in Oahu!!! Very relaxing, amazing live music, super friendly staff and the water sports were a highlight!!! We will be back again. Ny husband lost his wallet in the ocean and one of the Captains was honest and returned it. This was such a blessing because our trip could have been ruined with no way to return home. But thanks to the crew on the boat , it stayed just as awesome as this fun day at the sandbar cruise!!!!
Was so amazing I will be bringing my whole family to this
First, the prior guidance about the location of the check-in counter was poor. I entered the address into Google, but there was no counter there. I asked a nearby fisherman, who told me it was not there but over there. However, I had a hard time finding the counter with the name of the activity organizer. Just when I was about to ask where the organizer's location was, the lady at the counter called my name, and I finally arrived.
As for the activity itself, it was different from what I expected. The snorkeling in the rough waves had very little to see underwater; aside from a sea turtle, there were only two types of fish that appeared alternately, so there were hardly any fish at all. The water was murky, and I couldn't see even a meter ahead. The water slide was only worth doing once. On the water trampoline, I couldn't really bounce; I just lay there sunbathing. It felt nice, and I ended up falling asleep, which was the most luxurious part of the experience. While I think it was good to have had a unique experience, I wouldn't recommend it.
まずチェックインカウンターの場所の事前案内が雑。住所をGoogleに入れて行ったが、そこにはカウンターは無い。近くの漁業関係者に聞いてここではなく、向こうだと言われ行くも、アクティビティ主催者の名前のあるカウンターがなかなか見つからない。たまたまここの主催者の場所はどこか聞こうとしたところ、カウンターのお姉さんが自分の名前を呼んでくれたので、ようやく辿り着きました。アクティビティ自体は期待してたのとは違い、荒波の中のシュノーケリングで、水中を除いてもウミガメはもちろん、魚も2種の魚がかわりばんこに出てくるぐらいで、ほとんどいません。水中も濁っていて、1m先も見えない状況でした。ウォーター滑り台も一回やれば十分。水上トランポリンではトランポリンできるはずもなく、ただ寝そべって日焼けごっこ。気持ちよくて寝てしまったがそれが1番贅沢でした。貴重な経験ができたのでよかったとは思いますが、おすすめはしません。

Bill was great, everything was perfect and so much fun!
We were the biggest group that day! 23 people! We all had a great time. Thank you!!!
I really like the parasailing experience. The sea look so beautiful 500 ft up in the sky. I wish I could sail for a longer time. Will definitely recommend to other friends and may come back again.
Avoid them at all cost. They are there to loot your money only. If you just want to experience holding a oxygen tank on your back and go down 12 feet, then this would be for you. Even though they say you don’t need to know how to swim, hey also don’t really teach you much and so when you feel uncomfortable, they take you out. No wetsuits were provided. They are right by a little bay so you won’t be going anywhere in a boat and they finish the entire thing in about hour (there are about 10-12 people). It feels like they just want to get done with it so they can get their money. Never here again!
We really enjoyed it! All of us from our family had fun! Friendly staff to good singer on board. Will highly recommend others to avail of this activity!
Family had a blast at Sandbar. Crew was wonderful! They were very friendly and helpful. Musicians were fantastic!! Made for a wonderful experience for the whole family! I highly recommend them for your Sandbar experience!! Gotta try out the banana boat and tubing! Overall a very memorable experience!
It became the best memory in Hawaii!
I was scared before flying, but once I took off, the view was beautiful and it was amazing!!
The photos were $40, and they showed each one properly, allowing me to consider my purchase!
There were over 100 photos, and I felt like it was quite a bargain, so I ended up buying them!
For reference... Even if you usually don't get seasick, the boat can sway quite a bit, and I think you'll feel nervous too, so it's better to take motion sickness medication beforehand.
I took it, so I was fine, but my companion got seasick.
ハワイで最高の思い出になりました！
飛ぶ前は怖かったけど、
飛んでみたら景色がきれいで最高でした！！
写真も４０ドルで、ちゃんと一枚一枚見せてくれた上で購入を検討できました！
１００枚以上写真があって、かなりお得な気分で
購入しちゃいました！
参考までに…
普段船酔いしない方も、船が結構揺れるのと、
緊張とかもすると思うので、
酔いどめ飲んでおいたほうがいいです。
私は飲んでたので、大丈夫でしたが同行者は酔ってました。

The male staff were friendly and full of hospitality, which made it enjoyable. When you go up and the wind blows, it sways, so it might be safer to take motion sickness medication. Quite a few people were experiencing seasickness.
スタッフの男性の方がフレンドリーでおもてなしの気持ち満載で楽しかったです
上に上がって風が吹くと揺れるので、酔い止めのお薬は飲んでおいた方が安全かもです。
結構、皆さん船酔いをされていました。

John Hess was fabulous. Our whole family had the most amazing time. After talking about our week every one of us said this was an activity we would do again especially if we could have John as our guide.
Overall, just a really fun experience. Ridge was awesome, kind, and very encouraging. Great conversation and it was a beautiful day out to paddle board.
