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

Amazing half day with my husband

Reviewed by: Sandbar fun

This is such an awesome trip and with the perfect amount of time to still do other things back on the island. The trip to the sandbar and back was its own experience in itself with the donuts, juice and live music. That live music was AMAZING, they are so talented and sing so well. I can’t wait to come back again and bring my kids!

It was an amazing experience! 🎵 最高な体験🎵

Reviewed by: りんご

I had a wonderful time enjoying stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) and snorkeling in a very beautiful sea! The staff were funny and kind. Although I was a bit anxious because he couldn't swim, they helped us with snorkeling, and we were able to see sleeping sea turtles and fish, which was enjoyable. During the SUP experience, the female captain took some photos for us, and I still look back at them fondly. I would love to participate again at a different time!

とても綺麗な海でSUPやシュノーケルを楽しむことができ、本当に素敵な時間でした!
スタッフの方は面白い&優しく、彼が泳げないので不安でしたがシュノーケルは引っ張っていただくことができ寝ているウミガメや魚をみることができ楽しめたようです。また、SUP体験中は女性キャプテンに写真を撮っていただきましたが、今でも見返すくらいお気に入りです。
また次回、別の時期にも参加したいと思いました!

Aloha! This is the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the SUP and snorkeling. Since it's an outdoor tour, it can feel a bit chilly at times.

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

Awesome day! The staff is amazing. So much to do & see.

Reviewed by: Jenny P

This was probably one of my favorite activities that I’ve ever done in all of my visits to Oahu. On the short boat ride over to the sandbar we were treated to live music, drinks, sandwiches and an explanation of what we would be doing for the day.
We started by stand-up paddle boarding, then as we were relaxing and floating we saw a turtle cruise by the area. The captain asked if we would like to see some turtles. Of course we said yes, and he took our small group out to the area where turtles are known to be. What an amazing experience! There were probably more than 10! After that we were lucky enough to have Captain Calvin tell us about this sacred place. He grew up close by.
Every single crew member was kind,helpful and genuinely interested in everyone having a good time. They made sure to explain each activity. They provided snorkel gear, stand-up paddle boards, and kayaks. I would say that this is great for couples, families, pretty much anybody.. There was a really cool floating dock with seating and an area with a volleyball net.
Some people had added banana boat rides and tube rides. I think it’s really cool to be able to add extras if you want them. The people who did it looked like they were having a lot of fun!
On our next trip to Oahu, we will definitely come back.

サンドバー キャプテンブルース 天国の海®︎シュノーケリングクルーズ SUPや浮き輪などレンタルアイテムも!<午前・午後/日本語クルー>

I was able to see sea turtles up close!!! 海亀を近くで見れた!!!

Reviewed by: CHI

The water was very clear and beautiful. We took a boat to the sandbar, and along the way, they explained about sea turtles and heart-shaped coral reefs. After the explanation in English, they also provided a description in Japanese, so even those who are not good at English could enjoy it fully. Once we arrived at the sandbar, we enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding for a while, and then moved on to snorkeling. The guide was always checking on us, so we felt safe and could enjoy ourselves. We were able to see sea turtles up close during both the stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling. Light snacks were provided, and there was a generous amount, so we could replenish our energy well. This is definitely an activity that anyone who wants to swim in beautiful waters or see sea turtles should try!

水がとても透き通っていて、とても綺麗でした。
サンドバーまでは船で行き、途中で海亀やハートの形の珊瑚礁などの説明をしてくれました。
英語の説明の後、日本語でも説明してくれたため、英語が苦手でも十分に楽しめました。
サンドバーに着いたら、しばらくSUPなどを楽しみ、その後シュノーケリングに移りました。
終始ガイドの方が見回ってくれてるため、安心して楽しめました。
SUP、シュノーケリングともに海亀を近くで見ることができました。
軽食が出ましたが、たくさんの量が提供されたため、たくさんエネルギー補給をすることができました。
綺麗な海で泳ぎたい人や海亀をみたい方には絶対に行って欲しいアクティビティです!

I was thrilled to see two turtles. 亀を2匹もみられ感激

Reviewed by: きょうこさん

It's very convenient since transportation is included. Using CHIEKO's fins as a marker, it felt very safe and comfortable. I was quite impressed to see turtles coming up to the surface for air several times. We were all thrilled to see turtles in a different location as well. Of course, there were plenty of fish too. Since both my husband and I are 65 years old, we would love to go again if we have the chance. Thank you, CHIEKO!

送迎付きですのでとにかく便利です。CHIEKOさんの足ひれを目印にとても安全でとても気持ちがよく、亀が呼吸のために水面に顔を出すしぐさを数回見られかなり感激しました。また違う場所で亀を見られて参加者皆またまた感激。もちろん魚もたくさんいました。夫婦共に65歳なので機会があればまた行きたいと思っています。CHIEKOさんに感謝です。

カイルアビーチ送迎シャトルサービス 嬉しい5時間滞在!ビーチグッズなど各種レンタル付き<日本語スタッフ/ランチ付>

The sea was very beautiful! とっても綺麗な海でした!

Reviewed by: みー

The sea was incredibly beautiful! It was a bit cloudy, so it would have been even more stunning on a sunny day. There were fish around the rocky areas, but you have to go quite far out to find more rocky spots, so the elementary school kids couldn't reach the areas where the fish were. However, we had a great time just at the water's edge, so I was very satisfied! The lunch was delicious no matter what we chose! We made wonderful memories!!

とっても綺麗な海でした!少し曇りぎみだったので晴天だったらもっと綺麗だったんだろーなぁ。
岩場には魚もいましたが結構沖まで行かないとあまり岩場はないので小学生では魚がいるような岩場までは行けませんでした。
でも波打ち際だけでもかなり楽しんでいたので大満足です!

We had a fully handicap person with us and the crew was great. They lifted her, in her electric wheelchair, onto the boat. She had room to move around the boat with ease. The bathrooms were not accessible but that was ok. The crew kept checking on her and made sure she was comfortable. It was a good experience, something that she wouldn't normally have been able to do. We were able to snorkel (not her), and didn't have to worry about her not being comfortable. We did not see any turtles, but got to see a small whale.

Maui Kapalua Bay Snorkeling & Underwater Scooter Tour - Eco Sea Scooter

Not good, not good at all

Reviewed by: Sandy Cheeks

Despite everything saying advanced swimmer only, I was with two people who could not swim. Both of them required rescue by the guide. I spent the majority of the time bobbing in the water by the beach - waiting for them to get swim lessons. There are many rocks there and I ended up breaking my toe while getting slammed by waves. I was able to scooter around the cove twice even with a throbbing toe. I’m sure the guide could feel that I was irritated and I wanted the experience to end ASAP. The reason for the bad review is that no one even followed up or offered me some money back. Take home point: I would not spend my hard earned vacation money on this again.

*** Refund was issued after Veltra/Hawaii Activities reached out. This was very nice of the owner, but it doesn't change my experience and I did not edit my original review.

Renting a wetsuit was a good decision for warmth and injury prevention. I swam for about an hour from one end of the bay to the other at the guide's pace, which was quite tiring, and I experienced seasickness. It was tough for seniors, so I wished we could have taken a break along the way.

Thank you for joining the tour. I apologize for any discomfort you experienced. If you had informed us during the tour, we could have returned to the beach earlier, and I am truly sorry for that. In our regular tours, many participants prefer to swim a lot, so we do not take breaks. However, in a private tour, we can adjust to your pace, allowing for leisurely swimming and breaks based on your preferences. I hope you will consider joining us for a private tour next time. Once again, I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. I would be grateful if you could visit us again. Mahalo!!

この度はツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございました。辛い思いをさせてしまったようで、ごめんなさいね。途中で教えていただけましたら、先にビーチへ戻ることもできたのですが、本当に申し訳ございませんでした。通常のツアーではたくさん泳ぎたい方が多いので、途中休憩はお取りしません。ですが、プライベートツアーでしたら、そのお客様だけのペースに合わせ、ゆっくり泳いだり、途中休憩をしたり、お客様のご希望次第で泳ぐことができます。ぜひ次回はプライベートツアーでお越しいただけたらと思います。本当にこの度は申し訳ございませんでした。これに懲りずに、またお越しいただければ幸いです。Mahalo!!

Molokini Crater & Turtle Arches Snorkeling Tour & Snuba Dive - Aqua Adventures

Hawaii is amazing, the company is average

Reviewed by: Sandy Cheeks

My total cost for this excursion was $242.30. It was not worth that price. The crew was sarcastic and snappy. They did lighten up as the morning went on, but my first impression stayed. Fortunately I’m a seasoned swimmer and snorkeling/snuba is easy, so I didn’t require any assistance. Lastly, it’s a big money grab without much service in return. I understand they are a business, but I cannot understand why they can’t pay their employees? Why do they guilt trip you into having to tip every chance they get? Even the emails leading up to it state the expected gratuity. TL:DR Molokini crater is amazing - you should go! Unless you’re dying to try snuba, then go with a different company and have fun.

サンドバー シュノーケリングクルーズ バナナボートなど選べるプラン 海に浮かぶラウンジ&船上ライブミュージック アルコール購入可 <午前・午後/日本語クルー>

This is what it's like during the rainy season. 雨季だとこうなの

Reviewed by: フーディーH

Sandbar?
It was mainly snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding.
When I went in March, it was a sandbar, but this time it was disappointing. I wonder if it's like this during the rainy season.
However, the performance on the boat was lively.
Snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding were really fun.
It wasn't a course to see the honu (sea turtles).

サンドバー?
シュノーケーリングとサップが中心でした。
3月に行った時はサンドバーでしたが
今回は残念でした。雨季だとこうなのかなー
でもボートの中の演奏はノリノリ
シュノーケーリングやサップはすごく楽しかったです。
ホヌをみるコースではありませんでした。

Tips and suggestions

There are quite a few differences depending on the season and weather.

I think it's better to check the differences when going to look for honu (sea turtles).

Tips and suggestions

次期や天気によってかなり
違いがあります。

ホヌを探しに行くのとの違いを確認した方が良いと思います。

Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We are very sorry that the water level was high on the day of your participation and that we couldn't meet your expectations, but we are glad to hear that you enjoyed the activities. The water level changes daily, so we hope you can come back on a day with a lower tide next time. Thank you for sharing your photos! From all of us at KBOS.

この度はツアーへご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。ツアーご参加当日はあいにく水位が高くご期待に沿えなかった様で大変残念でしたが、、アクティビティは楽しんで頂けた様で嬉しく思っております。水位は日々時間によって変わりますので次回は是非、潮位の低い日を狙ってぜひお越し頂けますと幸いです。お写真シェアして頂きありがとうございました! KBOS スタッフ一同

サンドバー キャプテンブルース 天国の海®︎シュノーケリングクルーズ SUPや浮き輪などレンタルアイテムも!<午前・午後/日本語クルー>

Mysterious, clear sea 神秘的な澄んだ海

Reviewed by: クーコ

In December, during the winter season in Hawaii, the sandbar was underwater, but we descended onto the emerald green sandbar, and it was a wonderful experience. We played on the SUP and enjoyed our first snorkeling, where we were able to see tropical fish and sea turtles, which was a lot of fun. However, there were many participants, and after the English guide, there was a Japanese guide, which meant we had to wait. I wished they could have explained simultaneously for the Japanese participants.

12月のハワイ冬の季節でサンドバーは海水の下でしたが、エメラルドグリーンのサンドバーに降り、素晴らしい体験でした。サップで遊んで、初シュノーケリングで熱帯魚、海ガメを見る事ができ楽しかったです。
ただ参加者が多く
英語ガイドの次に日本語ガイドがあり、待ってる時間があった。日本人だけに同時に説明してほしかったです。

Tips and suggestions

In the winter season, it gets cold when you come out of the sea, so towels, a change of clothes, and long sleeves are necessary. Be careful not to injure your feet on the coral.

Tips and suggestions

冬の季節は、海からあがると寒いので、タオル、着替え、長袖は必要です。
サンゴで足を怪我しないように注意しましょう。

Amazing experience!

My family and I had a great time on this trip! From the musicians/staffs to the many activities, everything was 10/10. On top of it all they sang happy birthday to my son 🥹 I could write an essay on how stress-free, relaxing and just FUN this experience is. THANK YOU AND WE WILL COME AGAIN 🫶🏼

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

We had a good time

Reviewed by: Mrs G

The music was outstanding and really made for a fun vibe. I loved the activities they provided, butt being able to only kayak or SUP board I. Such a small area felt pretty CT uneventful. Also, snorkeling was okay, but to be encouraged to just stay near the staff member feeding the fish felt less than what I was expecting.

Tips and suggestions

サンドバー天使の海 シュノーケリング&ウミガメウォッチクルーズ 船上のBBQグリルで焼くハンバーガーランチ付き!<午前/日本語クルー>

I was happy to swim with the honu (sea turtles). ホヌと泳げて嬉しかったです

Reviewed by: ゆっぴー

I had a very enjoyable time.
The sandy beach in paradise was a bit of a problem due to the timing, as I couldn't walk on the sandy bottom of the sea at knee level.
I was able to see manta rays and sea turtles, and I got to swim with a sea turtle while snorkeling.
The hamburger lunch was also very delicious.

とても楽しい時間でした。
天国の砂浜は時期の問題か膝位置くらいの水面で海の中の砂浜を歩くと言うわけには行きませんでした。
マンタ、ウミガメが見れて、シュノーケリングではウミガメと一緒に泳ぐ事ができました。
ハンバーガーランチもとても美味しかったです。
