always wanted to paddle out to the sandbar, but unfortunately picked the gale force wind day of the week to try it. On arrival seeing the white caps and some amateur kayakers struggling to paddle 10ft in the wind, basically paddling in place, I knew that this was going to be a rough adventure. Talking to the young staff girl, she stated that we could get a refund for the inclimate weather and typed it into the notes to the booker veltra. I said absolutely and we'll save this adventure for a different day. Thankyou state park girl, and because of that I would book this again.

We experienced a sandbar tour with Captain Bruce on a private boat. The weather forecast predicted bad weather, but it only rained a little, and the sea was beautiful!!
The captain was friendly and cool, and we had a great time snorkeling and seeing sea turtles! They provided special gear for our child who can't swim, so the whole family enjoyed it together.
The drinks and spam were delicious! Since we went with three generations, it was great to have a private boat!
I was unsure about participating in the tour, but I'm really glad we did!

I chose Waikiki Beach because there are many high-rise hotels, and I wanted to spend time at a relaxing beach. Since I was with a toddler and a baby, we didn't do any specific activities; we just took a walk and played with the floaties we borrowed, but we were more than happy and satisfied. It was still a bit chilly for swimming, so there were few people, allowing us to fully enjoy the quiet and beautiful waters of Hawaii. The pizza for lunch had a mountain of minced garlic on it, so it might be a bit much for those sensitive to smells. In the afternoon, we went to the city and found many toys and goods from the popular Canadian anime, Paw Patrol, which we were able to purchase.
ワイキキビーチは高層ホテルが多いので、のんびりした雰囲気のビーチで過ごしたくて申し込みました。幼児とベビー連れだったので、アクティビティは特に何もせずに、お散歩と貸してもらった浮き輪で遊びましたが、充分喜んで満足していました。まだ、海水も少し冷たい時期なので人も少なく、静かで美しいハワイの海を満喫できました。ランチのピザはみじん切りのニンニクが山ほど振りかけてあるので臭いの気になる人は微妙かもしれません。午後は街に行ってマートに日本でも人気のカナダのアニメ、バウパトのオモチャやグッズがたくさんあったので購入することもできました。

The driver was half-Japanese and handsome, and his Japanese was also very good. After arriving at Kailua Beach, there were Japanese staff members who kindly taught us various things. You can rent lockers, which is helpful for storing your belongings when going to the beach. It was quite windy on the day we visited, and the sea was a bit rough, but Kailua Beach was very beautiful, and the water was wonderfully clear. I think the coral reefs would look even more beautiful on a sunny day. Next time I go to Hawaii, I want to try again on a nice weather day.
The pizza we chose for lunch was a quarter size, but it was really big and incredibly delicious. The bike options available were also enjoyable, and we rode to town while taking in the scenery like locals... If you bring Wi-Fi with you, you can navigate anywhere without getting lost!
送迎の彼はハーフでイケメン、日本語も上手です。カイルアビーチ到着後も日本人スタッフの方がいて、とても親切に色々教えて下さいました。

My fiance and I had such a wonderful time on this cruise! It was our first time snorkeling, and we were a little nervous (for fellow first timers, the apparatus feels a little uncomfortable and claustrophobic on the boat, but feels so much better in the water)! However, the whole crew put us at ease and were super patient with us, helping us to get the perfect fit with our goggles and apparatus. Nicole even gave me one of her hair ties when I forgot mine! The lifeguards were great, helping us to find the best spots to watch turtles and fish, taught us a ton, and even dove down to get an octopus for us to pet. They were great about checking on everyone and making sure we were ok, comfortable, and having fun. The music and mai tais were excellent, and everyone was so friendly and sweet. They offered to take pictures without us even asking! This cruise is such an amazing deal for the price, and was for sure one of the highlights of our first trip to Oahu. My only advice is to be near Duke's at the Outrigger early, there is not super clear signage for where the boat comes in, so go to the bathroom and bring everything you might need so you have time to find the boat. Thanks for an amazing time!

The day was so fun and easy. The transportation met us at the collection point (and returned us in the afternoon). At the boat jetty, we were welcomed with Alohas. We spent some time on the sandbar to explore, and play a game of volleyball. We then gently motored for some turtle spotting. After that, we were taken to the beautiful coral reef where we snorkelled and flippered around, what a sensation! I thoroughly enjoyed the BBQ and hot chocolate!

We had an amazing time as the crew was incredibly prepared and accommodating. They were able to fit all of us on board and bring us out without a problem. The guides were very knowledgeable and were helpful in getting in and out of the water. They work together with the other tours in the same space to attract as many rays as possible. We ended up seeing 10 or more rays with a near constant show. We had my 65-year-old mom and dad, my 40-year old self and wife, and our eight and 10-year-old with us, and it was never a problem. A great activity if your kids can stay up a little later and recover the next day.
It's a short boat ride out, but the darkness set off a little of my motion sickness, So if you're prone to that be sure to take some medication ahead of time. I also had a little issue being in the waves and going up and down in the darkness. One of the other participants got fully sick away from the boat but the crew handled it very professionally.
I would absolutely recommend them!

We arrived at the location with a rental car as a family of four. Since our children had no experience with snorkeling, we went a bit early to choose the right size wetsuits and to learn how to use the equipment. The staff were all very kind. The unique boat allowed us to feel very close to the movements and behaviors of the creatures during the whale watching cruise. I felt that the explanations about marine life were also very professional. Finally, we could jump in and enjoy snorkeling, which I think provided a fun experience that you can't have on other whale watching tours. It was my first time in Hawaii, but I would like to participate in this company's small group, hands-on tours again next time.
家族4人でレンタカーに乗って現地入りしました。子供がシュノーケリング未経験のため少し早めに行き、ウェットスーツのサイズを決めたり道具の使い方を教えてもらいました。スタッフの方々は皆さんとても親切でした。独自のボートはホエールウォッチングクルーズの中でも最も水面に近く生き物の動きや様子をとても近くで感じることができました。海洋生物に関する解説も専門的であると感じました。最後はそこに飛び込んでシュノーケリングを楽しめるので、他のホエールウォッチングツアーでは体験できない楽しさがあると思いました。初のハワイでしたが、次行った時もこの会社の少人数で体感型のツアーに参加したいと思いました。

I wanted to see the sandbar, but even though I chose a tour date that would arrive at the sandbar right at low tide, the water level was still up to my waist at the end of January due to the rainy season. However, I knew this from my research, so I enjoyed paddleboarding and snorkeling instead. On the day of the tour, the weather was great, and the water wasn't cold. The staff were very kind, taking videos for us and answering our questions patiently, which was really helpful. Even without seeing the sandbar, I had a great time, but if I have the chance again, I would love to join a tour during the dry season.

We took a snorkel trip with the Moana boat crew and had a fantastic experience. We set sail on the beautiful catamaran at 0830 and to head out see the sea turtles at the infamous 'shell-cleaning' reef which is located just outside the breakers off Waikiki beach. Our Capt for the day, Anthony, was personable, friendly and made us all feel welcome aboard the boat. Zack and Sarah were the other two crew members and they were friendly, professional, and very helpful throughout the entire trip. 100% would sail with this crew again. Bring some tip $ for them, because they definitely deserve it. Book a tour today!
The snorkel site is popular and several boats are in the area, which is nice because you don't feel like you're out in the middle of the ocean alone. It can get busy with everyone trying to see the turtles and fish so be sure to keep an eye on the surface as well as watching what is below. Some turtles even come over to our boat and I snapped a photo (attached to this review). Overall water depth is about 20-30 feet and even on a cloudy & murky day (like ours) we could easily see numerous fish and several large sea turtles. We were even lucky enough to see Humpback whales (mom & baby)!!
We booked our trip in mid/late Feb and it was overcast & rainy. A bit chilly at times, but come prepared and it's a fun trip regardless. Plenty of covered space to store dry items, but a "drybag" is a nice touch on any beach/water adventure.
We booked the 0830 trip to maximize sea life activity which also resulted in 2 families being on the boat....8 people total. Virtually a private tour! When we pulled back into the pier for the next tour there were about 20-25 people waiting for the next tour. And, parking at the marina is easier before the crowds arrive.

My 10 yo daughter and I did this excursion during a recent trip to the Big Island. It was an incredible and highly memorable evening and I feel privileged to have been able to do this.
We saw humpback whales and dolphins en route to the Manta Ray swim spot, and that made the excursion worthwhile, even before we'd seen the rays.
The crew were knowledgeable and fun and although the activity requires you to jump into the ocean at night without any light, I always felt safe and confident that the crew was looking after us. Having my daughter with me made that essential.
We floated for about 15 mins before we saw the rays, but when we did it was really breathtaking. We had around 30 mins or so floating before we got back on the boat for the ride back to port.
The crew took videos and photos and shared them with us which was a really lovely touch.
Wetsuits were a must as it does get cold. For those with younger children, there was a larger float that they could sit on safely, but older children were able to float in the water alongside adults.
I really couldn't recommend this highly enough. Maybe leave an extra 15 mins to find the dock as we struggled a little as there are quite a few trips leaving from the same marina at similar times.
Aloha! Thank you so much for choosing Iruka Hawaii Dolphin for your Manta Ray snorkel adventure. We are so happy that you and your daughter had such a great experience with us. We hope to see you soon, mahalo

The Hanauma Bay tour, which resumed in February, had a limited number of participants, so I felt safe joining.
I participated in the afternoon, and the low tide made everything look beautiful. The water is shallow, so it's reassuring even for beginners. They also taught us how to handle situations when water gets into the mask, and we gradually progressed, so I wasn't scared. For those who still find it challenging, the instructor stays with you the whole time.
I was very satisfied to see a variety of colorful fish and turtles. It's also comforting that communication in Japanese is perfectly fine.

My husband and I, with my 21 year old son, had so much fun on our recent trip to Kaneohe Bay Sandbar with Ocean Sports Adventure. The trip started with an easy check-in process. We left the pier at 9:30 and arrived at the sandbar in 15 minutes. During this time, the crew served donuts and drinks while two musicians played live music. They were really good and professional. When we arrived there, we snorkeled first. Lots of reef fish! Then we tried SUP for the first time. Since it was such a windy day, the crew made sure we didn't float away to the areas that we weren't supposed to be. The captain took some of us on his boat and went to a nearby reef where green sea turtles are. We saw 2 of them! I highly recommend this activity to anyone!

Really a good time with fresh lunch and good live music. Banana boats were a blast I laughed so hard. There was crew out on the sandbar showing us sea life and it was great!
We are very happy that you enjoyed our tour. Mahalo! - Team KBOS

This was an amazing experience—the dolphins were incredible. We got to hug them, touch them all over, and swim next to them with our hand on their back but not holding on to them. Maddie, our guide, was so warm and informative. I would recommend bringing goggles (swimming or snorkeling) so that you can put your head underwater with your eyes open to see the dolphins swimming under you. I’m surprised that isn’t recommended. Digital photos are VERY expensive ($170 for all of the photos they took, or $55 for one digital photo). That said, it’s a once in a life time experience, so you’ll probably want some photos.

Aloha! Thank you so much for this feedback. Please do come back and see us again for a sandbar kayaking adventure! Hopefully the bay will give us calmer, less windy conditions for you next time! Mahalo.
