All Reviews for Private Boat Charters

We had a fun time on this excursion from the boat tide to the snorkeling to the trying s dup for first time to relaxing on the floating lounge either a beer. Only negative for me was having to wear a lifejacket while in the water. The crew were nice and helpful too

I truly enjoyed this so much it was very chill, the snorkeling was better than an actual snorkeling trip we took while here, paddle boarding and kayaking too. The staff was amazing and the on board entertainment was fantastic!

Dinner was tasty and watching the sunset over the ocean while sailing along the Maui coastline was the perfect pair.

Great experience we all had so much fun all 14 of us worth the price. The staff was amazing and friendly and very helpful

When we arrived at the sea, a Japanese person explained things to us. There were also a few people on the boat who could speak Japanese. Once we boarded the boat, donuts were distributed. It was a large boat that didn't sway much, so I think we could travel comfortably. The sea was very beautiful, and we could see fish swimming nearby. We started with the banana boat when we reached the spot. It was quite intense, and it felt like my bottom was floating, which was fun. It seemed like I might fall off if I didn't have enough grip strength. After that, we could spend our time as we liked, and I did canoeing and kayaking. There was a funny person who spoke in Kansai dialect and taught us how to do it. We also enjoyed snorkeling for a full three hours. Although small, there was a place to change clothes. It was nice that the restrooms were separated, with one for men and two for women.

海に着いたら日本人の方が説明してくれます。
船の中には何人か日本語が話せる方も居ました。船に乗ったらドーナツが配られます。
あまり揺れない船で大きいので快適に行けると思います。
海がとても綺麗で魚も近くで泳いてるのが見えます。バナナボートはスポットに着いたら初めにやります。結構激しくおしりが浮く感じで楽しかったです。握力ないと落ちそうな感じでした。
その後は好きなように過ごせて、
カヌーとカヤックをやりました。関西弁を喋る方で面白い方がやり方教えてくれました。
シュノーケルもやりたっぷり3時間楽しみました。
小さいですが着替えるところもありました。
トイレは男性1、女性2で分けられて使えるところも良かったです

100% recommend this activity. Great music, great tour guides, clean ship and endless entertainment!!! Snorkeling was amazing!! We also paddle boarded and just hung out and listened to music. Loved it!!!

The sandbar only appears at low tide, but the coral reef is abundant with fish and definitely worth seeing. The sea is beautiful, so please give it a visit.

サンドバーは干潮時しか出ませんが、珊瑚礁は魚が多く、見応え十分です。
海も綺麗なので行ってみてください

The Hawaiian music live performance on the cruise ship was delightful. There were various activities in the beautiful emerald sea, so I never got bored. We were also blessed with great weather, making it the best experience.

Additionally, I am grateful for the wonderful hospitality from all the staff.

行き帰りのクルーズ船の中もHawaiianミュージックLIVEが心地良かったです。
キレイなエメラルドの海でのアクティビティも色々あって、飽きる事もありませんでした。
良いお天気にも恵まれて、最高の体験でした。

また、スタッフの方皆さんのホスピタリティも素晴らしく感謝をしています。

The sea was incredibly beautiful.
I had a great time with stand-up paddleboarding, canoeing, and snorkeling.
I usually get motion sickness, but I didn't feel sick at all.
Be careful not to bump your knees on the coral.

すごく綺麗な海でした。
サップとカヌーとシュノーケリングができてすごく楽しかったです。
私はすごく乗り物酔いしますが、全く酔いません。
サンゴに膝をぶつけがちなので、気をつけてください。

I visited Sandbar six years ago, and I thought it was a tour where you could take pictures on the sand that appears at low tide. The staff were very accommodating, so if I had known that the sand wouldn't appear during the tour, I think I would have been satisfied.

6年前にサンドバーに行ったことがあるんですが、干潮のタイミングで砂地があらわれてそこで写真が撮れたので、そういうツアーだと思ってました。
スタッフさん達は対応もいいので、砂地があらわれることがないことを知ったうえでツアーに参加していたら満足だったんだと思います。

This is the second time we have taken this adventure, and we will definitely be back. You feel like it’s just you in this beautiful clear blue ocean surrounded by Hawaiian Mountains. Musicians on the boat ride were fabulous! Loved the whole experience!

Even with the chilly air that day, we had an absolute last. The crew was kind, attentive, lively and generally playful. The live band was amazing. We had a few hula dancers make an impromptu performance. It felt like a warm nd peaceful family get together. Highly recommend.

Had a great day out on the sandbar with great music super helpful crew good food, beautiful warm water amazing scenes lots to do super recommended

Best day! We had a group of 117 developmentally disabled adults and staff- we had an amazing time. The staff was attentive, the views spectacular!

I loved my experience everyone was knowledgeable, provided donuts for breakfast, and the activities provided were amazing. Worth the money!

I signed up for this tour because I wanted to see the sandbar. There were Japanese staff members who provided explanations in Japanese very kindly. Additionally, there were foreign staff members who could speak Japanese, which made it very comfortable. The blue of the sea, the blue of the sky, and the colors of the coral reef were indescribably beautiful. I participated with my colleagues from work, and everyone enjoyed experiences like snorkeling, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding. We had a great time and felt like kids again. One regret I have is that the sandy beach didn't appear... I hope the sea remains beautiful forever.

サンドバーを見たくってこのツアーに申し込みました。日本人のスタッフさんもいて、日本語で説明も丁寧にしてくれました。また、外人のスタッフさんも日本語話せる人もいてとても快適でした。海の青さ、空の青さ、そしてサンゴ礁の海の色、何とも言えない美しさでした。会社の同僚と参加したのですが皆それぞれシュノーケリング、カヤック、SUPの体験をし、楽しく過ごせました。子供に戻ったようにはしゃぎまくっていました。一つ心残りは砂浜が出なかった事です・・。
いつまでも綺麗な海であります様に。

This was our 4th trip to Oahu, I’ve been wanting to do the Kaneohe Sandbar for a while. The boat ride to the sand bar was great, we enjoyed the live music. We did the morning one, it was a tad bit windy and overcast so it was a little cold for our little ones to enjoy but we still got in the water and enjoyed the views, would definitely love to do again!

I was treated very well by someone from Saipan! Their Japanese was excellent, and our conversation was interesting! They also taught me about stand-up paddleboarding, so I had no worries!

サイパン出身の方にとてもよくしていただきました！日本語がお上手でお話も面白かったです！サップ等も教えていただけるので心配いりませんでした！

I liked the tour but I wouldn’t recommend it, except perhaps for small kids. The kayaking and paddle board are limited to a pretty small area, so it’s kind of boring. And the snorkeling was pretty bad during low tide because you basically can’t go anywhere.

We thoroughly enjoyed our private north shore sunset cruise. Captains Nick and Ricky were very friendly and went out of there way to make sure we had the best experience. They told us all about Hawaii, pointed out neat and interesting things along the shore and gave us a very enjoyable experience. We highly recommend!

Wonderful experience from the ease of booking online the 90-minute Manu Kai Catamaran private charter for my sister, Captain Charlene J.’s Ash Scattering Memorial to the end. Awesome crew, Aiden, Zach, and Brandon with instructions and accommodations. Hawaii was our sister’s second home and to commemorate her with our family made it so special. Mahalo nui loa 🤙🏼🌺

My husband and I absolutely loved this experience. We got to kayak, snorkel and swim in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The crew was extremely sweet, the live music was phenomenal and the views were breathtaking. We would go back 100%.

Even though it's called a sandbar, the sandy beach and sea in the photo are only available during limited times, so be cautious if you plan to visit. Also, the timing was bad, and it was cold. Activities also require waiting in line, so you can't do them at your own pace.

サンドバーといっても写真のイメージの砂浜と海があるのは限られた時期で行く場合は要注意です。あとは時期が悪くて寒かったです。
アクティビティも順番待ちで自分のタイミングで出来るわけではない。

Our party had 3 different cars coming from far outside Honolulu and some of us got caught in terrible morning traffic. The boat and office allowed us to wait and even helped on phone to one of the lost parties.

The boat crew were calm and pleasant despite a very late start. They were also respectful and thoughtful.

We are an elderly couple, 70 and 69 years old. We were the only Japanese people on board. This was our ninth trip to Hawaii, and our first time on Kauai. Since we were here, we wanted to see the Na Pali Coast, so we decided to join the tour.

To be honest, I was worried about getting seasick. About 30 minutes before boarding, I took an old seasickness tablet from T Pharmaceutical that I brought from Japan (the kind you can take without water). Thanks to that, I didn't feel sick at all and was able to enjoy the cruise comfortably. There were about six people who did feel sick. I think if I hadn't taken the seasickness medication, I definitely would have gotten sick. The cruise was comfortable, but it did sway quite a bit, similar to the Viking ride at a Japanese amusement park.

We talked with my husband, saying, "I'm glad we came," while enjoying the beautiful scenery. The sunset was cloudy, but we could still see it reasonably well. The food was delicious too. Besides the captain, there were two friendly staff members, a nice young man and a beautiful young woman, who were all very kind. Perhaps because of my age, whenever I tried to move around the boat, they would come right away to help me. My English isn't very good, but I didn't have any particular problems. My husband chatted happily with a gentleman from the mainland who was sitting next to him, and everyone there was very friendly.

We participated on May 10th, and we were able to see whales. Everyone was thrilled and shouting. Additionally, there was a rainbow over the Na Pali Coast, making it the best cruise ever.

I highly recommend participating. The Lucky Lady is a larger cruiser, so it felt safe. I'm really glad we joined.

　70才と69才の老夫婦です。日本人は、私たちだけでした。ハワイ9回目にして、初めてのカウアイ島。せっかくなのでナ・パリ・コーストは、見ておきたいと参加しました。
　正直なところ、船酔いしないかと心配していました。船に乗る30分前に日本から持ってきた昔からある、T製薬の酔い止めの錠剤S（水なしで飲めるもの）を口に含んで乗船しました。そのお陰で、全く酔わず、快適にクルージングを楽しむことができました。酔っている人も6人位いました。多分、酔い止めを飲んでいなかったら、絶対、酔っていたと思います。快適なクルージングですが、かなり揺れます。日本の遊園地のバイキングのような揺れ方です。
　美しい風景に、夫と「来てよかったね」と話し合ってました。サンセットは、曇っていましたが、それなりに見えました。食事も美味しかったです。スタッフは、船長以外に優しいお兄さんと綺麗なお姉さんが二人、皆さん、親切にしてくださいました。私が高齢なのでしょうか、船の中を移動しようとすると、すぐ来て、手をかしてくれました。英語も得意ではありませんが、特に問題なかったです。夫は、隣に座っていた本土からみえた米国の紳士と仲良くお喋りしたり、その場にいた人々が、皆わきあいあいとしてました。
　参加したのは5月10日でしたが、クジラを見ることができました。皆、感激して叫んでいました。また、ナ・パリ・コーストに虹がかかって、最高のクルージングになりました。
是非、参加してください。このラッキーレディ号は、大きめのクルーザーなので、安心でした。本当に参加してよかったです。

I chose the banana boat and bumper tube plan! The bumper tube was especially fun! I'm glad I got to see sea turtles too!

バナナボートとバンパーチューブのプランにしました！バンパーチューブが特に楽しかった！海亀にも会えてよかった！

The whole team made us comfortable especially with the kids! Kind and friendly!!! Thank you for making our trip special and memorable. The boys want to take you up on a job 🤗

This is my third time at Sandbar!
My wife and daughter were there for the first time.
The staff were friendly and communicated in Japanese, making it a very enjoyable experience.

Meeting up on-site was smooth, and the guidance was seamless.

サンドバーは、私は３回目！
妻と娘は初めてでした。
スタッフの皆さんが和気あいあいと日本語を使ってくれて案内してくれるので、とても楽しく過ごすことができました。

また現地集合で、参加させてもらい案内もスムーズでした。

Jason and Sabrina were awesome, they made our time scattering the ashes of our loved one very peaceful and respectful

I requested a pick-up service, and both the departure and return were almost on time.

I felt reassured because there was a proper explanation from a Japanese person before boarding the boat.

I enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, and snorkeling. The water level was about waist-high and felt cold at first, but I got used to it quickly. The live music on the boat was wonderful.

送迎をお願いしましたが行き帰りほぼ時間通りでした。
日本人の方から船に乗る前にきちんと説明があったので安心できました。

SUP、カヤック、シュノーケリングと堪能しました。
水位は腰くらいあって最初は冷たく感じましたがすぐ慣れました。
船での生演奏が素晴らしかったです。
