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

So much fun! Thank you to Captain and Crew!

Reviewed by: Kel

We had a blast at the sandbar! The boat ride there was fantastic with great music and a fun crew. Once there we got to hop on the Banana Boat w/ Captain Calvin and he really made sure we were comfortable with the speed (thumbs up for faster, shaka for same speed, and thumbs down to slow it up). In addition to that helped setup a ride back to the shuttle spot since my aunt had trouble walking that far. The staff there are the best!

We got lucky and went by some sea turtles while out there on the banana boat. They swam right beneath us!

There was also live music on the boat and it was sooo good. Great songs, great musicians and singers. Wow!

We also got to kayak around and tried the stand-up paddle board for the first time. It was amazing to be out in the ocean surrounded by the beauty of the water and green mountains. It's truly magical, and I hope it stays that way forever. We should all respect it and guard it.

This should be a "must do" when traveling to Oahu!

I am afraid of water. When our team went snorkeling, I told the captain I wouldn't go. She said, "I take you and you should overcome it." Then she put me on a big noodle and slowly pulled me to the snorkeling place. It's wonderful that I can see some tropical fish and turtles. Thank you, Captain!

This is my second time participating! The first time, the weather was bad and cold, and the sea conditions were terrible, so I honestly couldn't enjoy it much. Because of that, I decided to make a comeback this time, and I was able to participate in the best conditions with clear skies and low tide! Moreover, the local staff remembered me and came to talk to me, which made me very happy! I also got to see a lot of sea turtles, and it was so much fun! Both times, the same driver was there, and I really like him! I want to participate again!

今回2回目の参加です！
1回目は天気が悪く寒くて、海のコンディションも最悪で正直あまり楽しめませんでした。。
それもあり今回リベンジしたら、晴天プラス干潮で最高のコンディションで参加できました！
しかも現地のスタッフさんが覚えていてくれて話しかけてくれたのでとても嬉しかったです！！
ウミガメもたくさん見れてとても楽しかったです！！
2回とも同じ送迎の方でした、とても良い方で好きです！

The water level varies depending on the time of year, but 行く時期によって水位は違いますが、

Reviewed by: てつ

This was my second experience. The first time was in November, and this time in January, so the water level was around waist height and there was no sandy beach, but it was still an amazing experience. The first time was a bit cold, and I felt chilly when I got out of the water, but this time the water temperature was a bit higher, and I was able to enjoy myself comfortably.

We took a boat to the point, and the staff's service was truly wonderful. Their desire to make sure we had fun was clearly felt.

My wife was not good at swimming and said she couldn't do the sea turtle watching, but with the support of the staff, she was able to experience snorkeling for the first time in her life and was very happy. We were also able to see sea turtles clearly.

Additionally, when I mentioned it was my second time, they even gave us a souvenir. I already want to go for a third time. As others have commented, it can be cold depending on the timing, but they provided warm drinks, spam onigiri, miso soup, and snacks for free, which allowed us to enjoy ourselves until the end. Thank you very much.

今回2回目の体験でした。
前回は11月、今回は1月なのでどちらも水位は腰ぐらいで砂浜はありませんでしたが、それでも最高の体験でした。
1回目は少し寒く水から上がると寒く感じましたが、今回は少し水温も高く快適に遊べました。
船でポイントまで行くのですが、スタッフの方の対応が本当に素晴らしい。
楽しませてくれようとする気持ちがヒシヒシと伝わってきます。

妻が泳ぐのが苦手で海亀ウォッチだけは無理と言っていましたが、スタッフの方のサポートで人生初のシュノーケリングまで体験できて非常に喜んでいました。
海亀もしっかり見れました。

また、今回2回目だと伝えるとお土産までくれました。3回目も行きたくなりますね。
他の方のコメントでもありましたが、タイミングによっては寒いですがそれに対する温かい飲み物の用意やスパムおにぎり、味噌汁、お菓子などを無料で用意してくれていて最後まで楽しく過ごせました。
ありがとうございます。

Reviewed by: N.H

At the beginning of January, there are no sandbars due to the rainy season, and the water is about waist-deep. However, you can enjoy plenty of kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and snorkeling. We also tried the banana boat, which was quite intense. The live music on the boat was excellent, and all the staff spoke a bit of Japanese and engaged with us a lot, which made it very enjoyable.

1月初めは雨季のためサンドバーはなく、腰くらいまで水に浸かります。ですがカヤック、SUP、シュノーケリングをたっぷり楽しめます。バナナボートもやりましたが、結構激しめでした。ボートでは生演奏がとても良かったのとスタッフ全員片言の日本語でたくさん話しかけてくれ、とても楽しかったです。

Touristy Trip

Reviewed by: Please Don't Feed the Fish!

We took our teenage daughters on this tour. Staff were friendly and the day went smoothly overall. I was very disappointed to see that the staff chum the waters (feed the fish) in order to make this a better snorkel experience for guests. Feeding the fish makes them more aggressive, leads to overpopulation and affect their health.
While we appreciated the live music on board and music played over speakers when in the water, the loud cheesy music on the way home was just too much (Baby Shark, Gangnum Style etc. ) This may appeal to some tourists but just created a very loud experience and took away from our enjoying the natural beauty around us.

A plan to experience Hawaii. ハワイを感じられるプラン

Reviewed by: チップスター

The experience of moving while listening to live Hawaiian music on the boat was amazing! I chose this plan to do SAP in the heavenly sea, and we were able to do SAP, snorkeling, and kayaking all in turns! Before we played, the staff always taught us how to do it. The staff were from overseas, but most of them spoke Japanese well, which was a great help! Since the playtime was long, I think it would be nice to take photos while waiting. In reviews of other tours, there were mentions of photo purchases being charged, but here there was none of that; in fact, the staff took pictures with our own phones, so I definitely recommend bringing a waterproof case for your phone! Even if you hang your phone around your neck to keep it dry, there’s a chance you might flip over in SAP and fall into the sea headfirst, so if it's not waterproof, your phone could be in trouble. I was worried because of reviews saying the boat was cold, and indeed, when I returned to the boat soaked from snorkeling, it felt so cold that my lips were numb. The drinks on the boat were only cold ones. So, after enjoying SAP at the end and warming up in the sun before returning to the boat, I felt much better about the cold. There were participants from various countries, and people of all ages, from small children to the elderly, and everyone seemed to be having fun. If you want to feel Hawaii, I recommend this plan! 😊

ハワイアンミュージックの生演奏を船上で聴きながらの移動が最高でした！天国の海でSAPが出来るプランを探してこちらを選びましたが、交代でSAPもシュノーケリングもカヤックも全て出来ました！遊ぶ前に必ずスタッフがやり方を教えてくれます。スタッフは海外の方ですが、ほとんどの方が日本語上手で助かりました！遊べる時間も長いので、待っている間に写真撮影などすれば良いと思います。他のツアーの口コミでは、写真の購入が有料だったなどありますが、こちらは一切そういうのは無く、なんならスタッフが自分たちの携帯で撮影してくれるので、必ず防水ケースに入った携帯を持参することをオススメします！首から濡れないように携帯を下げていたとしても、SAPでひっくり返って頭から海に落ちる事もあるので、防水じゃないと携帯がやばいことになります。船内が寒いとの口コミがあり不安でしたが、確かにシュノーケリングをして全身濡れた状態で船内に戻ると、口が悴むほど寒く感じました。船内のドリンクは冷たいのしか無いですし。なので、最後にSAPを楽しみながら身体を太陽で温めてから船内に戻ると、だいぶ寒さはマシに感じました。参加者にはいろいろな国の方がいて、年齢も小さな子からお年寄りの方がいて、みんな楽しんでいるようでした。ハワイを感じたい方は、こちらのプランがオススメです＾＾

Great Sandbar Visit

Reviewed by: DHK

My family and I really enjoyed the sandbar trip with Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports. They provided all of the needed sporting equipment (paddle boards, kayaks, snorkels, life vests). The paddle boarding was challenging and fun. Seeing the tropical fish and the coral reef were for me the best experience of the trip. The half day trip was the perfect amount of time on the sandbar. I also appreciated the free donuts and fruit juice (beer for purchase), and the live entertainment. My wife remained in the enclosed boat. Though the musicians didn't perform while at the sandbar, she enjoyed the relaxing views of the bay.
