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

What a great last day of our vacation.

Reviewed by: Drew

The music from Kalani was great on the way out to the sandbar. He was so nice, making sure he was delivering the best Ohana. The sandbar was amazing, if it hadn’t been so windy it would have been the perfect day. My son didn’t hesitate to get out on the kayak and SUP. The fish were breathtaking in the reef. We will definitely be back. The staff were so amazing and so ready to help out with anything. We loved it as a family.

Sincerely,
The Murray Family

The scenery was great, it was the best! 景色もよく、最高でした!

Reviewed by: Y N

It was unfortunately rainy on the day, but it cleared up after about two hours!
At first, it was cold, but I got used to it once I was in the sea.
I was glad to experience various activities like snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding.
I wanted to see a sea turtle, but unfortunately, I couldn't.
The staff were attentive, and they instructed us to return if we went too far, which made me feel safe while enjoying snorkeling.
There were only about four groups of Japanese people, but a few of them spoke broken Japanese, so we were able to communicate.
They also took photos for us, and I was very satisfied.

当日はあいにくの雨でしたが、2時間ほどで晴れてきました!
最初は寒かったのですが、海に入っていると慣れてきました。
シュノーケリングやサップなどいろいろ体験できてよかったです。
海亀に会いたかったですが、残念ながら会えなかったです。
スタップの方がしっかり見ており、遠くまで行きすぎるとスタッフがすぐに戻ってくるよう指示しており、安心してシュノーケリングも楽しめました。
日本人が4組ほどで少なかったのですが、日本語を片言で話してくださる方が何人かあり意思疎通が取れました。
写真も撮ってくれたり大満足です。

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

Had a great time

Reviewed by: Karen

The weather was cool, cloudy, windy and even a little rainy. We still had a great time. The music was amazing! The food was good, and served shortly after we left the dock. The boat provided protection from the elements. The crew was fun and friendly. When we arrived on the sandbar we were able to kayak, and paddle board. There was a large area of buoys they asked us to stay within. They had lifeguards in the water with us. They had us wait to snorkel and recommended a very specific spot to snorkel. I was confused at first, but they knew what they were doing. The sun came out, the tide came up a bit, the variety of fish was amazing. As soon I would drift out of the recommended area the coral and fish were less plentiful. Our group of 8 had a great time, and if the weather had been nice 5 wouldn't be enough stars. The music alone was work the price. Don't hesitate to book this trip.

I'm glad I made a reservation! 予約してよかった!

Reviewed by: おりな

I was a bit anxious because I saw some unsatisfactory reviews for the week I was participating, but it turned out to be great. There was music during the trip, and we got to do stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, and snorkeling—all for a very reasonable price. It was my first time seeing fish swimming up close in the ocean. It was truly moving. I actually wanted to go to the heavenly sea, but I was very satisfied with this experience. I was grateful that I was able to make a last-minute reservation. All the staff were very cheerful and kind. I want to participate again!

私が参加する週で、あまり満足のいっていない口コミを見かけたのでドキドキしましたが、とても良かったです。行き帰りは演奏がありサップ、カヤック、シュノーケル全て行いこのお値段はとても良かったです。初めて海でお魚が泳いでいるところを間近に見ました。感動です。本当は天国の海に行きたかったのですが、こちらでとても満足しました。ギリギリの予約でも間に合ったのでありがたかったです。スタッフのみなさんもとても愉快で優しい人ばかりでした。また参加したい!!

We participated as a group of eight, including three small children, and the staff were very kind and accommodating to the kids. On the day of our visit, the water level was low, but both adults and children had plenty of fun snorkeling and with the Stand-Up Paddleboarding (SUP). We also got to see sea turtles up close, which made the kids very happy—it was the best experience!

Others have mentioned it as well, but I thought it was a great tour where you could experience various activities if the weather was nice, so I took a chance and signed up. However, the seawater temperature was low, and the wind was strong, making it feel like a punishment despite the high cost. I was really disappointed. There were no sandbars either.

Reviewed by: えっきー

We participated in a sandbar tour for the first time as a couple. The weather was perfect, and we were able to enjoy the best sandbar and snorkeling experience.

There were staff members who spoke Japanese fluently, which made us feel at ease.

One point that concerned us was that there was no mention of tips in the tour details, and we only brought minimal valuables. On the day of the tour, just before leaving, the staff announced about tipping, and since we didn't have any cash, we felt a bit guilty as we just passed it by. I recommend bringing at least a little cash with you.

初めてサンドバーツアーに夫婦で参加しました。
お天気にも恵まれ、最高のサンドバー&シュノーケリングを楽しむことができました。

日本語がバリバリ話せるスタッフもおり、安心して楽しめます。

ひとつ気になった点として、、
ツアーの詳細内にはチップに関する記載がなく、貴重品も最低限しか持って行かなかったのですが、
当日帰り際にスタッフの方からチップに関するアナウンスがあり、現金を持って行かなかった私たちは少し申し訳なさを感じながらそのままスルーする形となりました。
少しだけでも現金を持って行くことをオススメします。

There was a female staff member who spoke Japanese fluently. The briefing before boarding was perfect, but after boarding, she gave off a vibe that made it difficult to approach her, so I couldn't ask any questions. She was smiling and engaging with participants from other countries, but she didn't even smile at us. I wouldn't recommend this to Japanese people. However, all the other staff members were very kind.

日本語を流暢に話す女性のスタッフがいました。乗船前の説明は完璧でしたが、乗船後は話しかけにくい雰囲気を出していて質問があっても聞けませんでした。他の国の参加者には笑顔で自ら話しかけていましたが、私達には笑顔さえ向けてくれませんでした。私は日本人にはおすすめしません。他のスタッフの皆さんはとても親切でした。

We traveled for about 20 minutes on a large boat while listening to live music from the pier. At this point, I was already feeling deflated due to the strong winds (laughs). We used a banana boat and a tube, and the waves made it quite exciting. When we were on a two-person canoe, we encountered a large sea turtle, which was a very valuable experience.

Please be careful as it is very windy and cold.

The best time blessed by the sea and people of Hawaii. ハワイの海と人に恵まれた最高の時間

Reviewed by: せんべい一家

We had a fantastic tour with seven people spanning three generations, from ages six to seventy-two. Despite our different interests and abilities, we immersed ourselves in snorkeling, relaxed on floaties, searched for turtles in the shallow waters, and enjoyed the scenery and snacks on the boat. Everyone was thoroughly satisfied! This was all thanks to the warm consideration of the staff! The bus driver and everyone on the boat were always smiling and friendly, and we truly appreciate it!

Although the restroom and changing facilities were not very convenient, the staff conveyed their love for the ocean by saying, "This is our office," which made us feel a sense of respect for nature and reminded us to be mindful during our visit.

Since we visited in mid-March during a slightly chilly high tide, I would love to come back and see everyone again during a warm low tide period.

6歳から72歳まで3世代7名、それぞれの興味や能力が異なり心配していましたが、シュノーケリングに没頭したり、浮き輪でぼーっとしたり、浅瀬で亀を探したり、船の上で景色とお菓子を堪能したりと、それぞれが大満足のツアーでした。それもこれもスタッフの皆さまの温かい配慮のお陰です!バスの運転手さんも船上の皆さまもずっと笑顔で気さくに話しかけて頂き、本当にありがとうございました!
トイレや着替えは便利ではないですが、スタッフの方が「ここが私たちのオフィス」と海を大切にされてるのが伝わり、自分たちも自然に敬意を持ってお邪魔させて頂こうと身が引き締まりました。
今回は3月中旬の少し肌寒い満潮(?)のタイミングだったので、今度は温かい干潮の時期にまた皆さんに会いに行きたいです。

It was a bit cold, but I want to join the tour again. ちょっと寒かったけどもう一度参加したいツアー

Reviewed by: masakigu

As expected from a popular tour, there were a lot of participants.

It takes about 45 minutes by bus to the nearby harbor. The local drivers often crank up the air conditioning, so be sure to bring something to wear. During the ride, they kept introducing delicious restaurants (they highly recommended Leonard's malasadas).

Once we arrived at the port, we boarded the boat. Our guide, Kevin, was fluent in Japanese, so there were no issues. The sea was calm enough that we didn't need any motion sickness medication. The beauty of the sandbar was beyond words, and there were plenty of sea turtles.

Towards the end of the tour, the weather turned and it got cold, so make sure to bring a hoodie or something warm.

I would love to join this tour again during the dry season.

人気ツアーだけあって参加者がとても多かったです。

近くのハーバーまではバスで45分ほど。現地ドライバーにありがちな冷房ガンガン仕様なので、必ず羽織るものをもって乗車しましょう。車中ではずっと美味しいレストランなどを紹介してくれました。(レナーズのマラサダを激押ししてきます)

港に着いたらボートに乗船。ガイドのケビンは日本語が達者で困ることはありませんでした。酔い止めもなくて大丈夫なくらい海は穏やか。サンドバーのきれいさは言うまでもなし。ウミガメもうじゃうじゃいました。

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

Great experience for beginners

Reviewed by: C&D

This was a great experience for those who aren’t very active. The staff and crew were super friendly and the live music was awesome and they were super engaging.
However, if you’re looking for more of an adventure this is not the trip for you. Mind you, this is not a criticism at all. At the sand bar, the water is knee high, and they make you wear a life jacket for snorkeling in water where you can literally touch the ground. All other activities also require life jackets in knee deep water.
We personally would not do this trip again, but we would definitely recommend it for those who want to be in the water but don’t want to take any risks.

Loved it! We had such a great time, only wish it was longer

Reviewed by: Sarah

Loved this trip! My group and I had the BEST time. Loved the floating platform for hanging out, having some drinks, dancing (we brought our own waterproof speaker).

Some of our group also liked trying the stand up paddleboarding (though noted the area you're allowed to go in is pretty small) and the snorkling.

Would definitely recommend for a big group, such an easy way to get everyone out to the sandbar and enjoy the stunning turquoise waters. We did it as part of our wedding week with guests.

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

Need to see while in Hawaii

Reviewed by: Jason R

Must see when in Hawaii it’s about a 20 minute boat ride out to the sandbar and there’s few companies have monopoly on it. However, they do make it enjoyable and relaxing. They have stand up paddle boards and kayaks for use but it’s only a small area you can go. This is just for relaxing and viewing Hawaii from a really beautiful location. Snorkeling isn’t the best because you’re only able to see a few fish. So what they could do better… selling or including drinks onboard. You have to bring everything with you although if you pay the fee you receive a bag of chips, a sandwich and juice/water. I didn’t like that we had to wear a life vest to snorkel, but maybe it’s to protect the coral so you don’t stand on it. Other than that the live music was awesome and everyone had fun.

I was moved to encounter a sea turtle. ウミガメと出会えて感動

Reviewed by: 太郎

The Japanese staff explained everything kindly and thoroughly, which was reassuring. The sea in March is a bit cold, so it's better to have a warm cover-up since you'll be taking the bus back in your swimsuit.

日本人スタッフの方が丁寧に優しく説明してくださって、心強かったです。
3月の海は少し冷たく、水着のままで帰りのバスに乗るので、あったかい羽織物ある方がよいです。

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

Wonderful Snorkeling and kayaking experience

Reviewed by: Junsheng

Embarking on the snorkeling and kayaking adventure at Sanbar was an unforgettable experience that truly encapsulated the essence of exploring nature's underwater marvels while enjoying the serene beauty of the open waters. The crystal-clear waters offered an unobstructed view of vibrant marine life and mesmerizing coral formations, making the snorkeling experience nothing short of magical. Each moment spent underwater felt like being in a different world, surrounded by a kaleidoscope of colors and life.

The kayaking segment of our adventure was equally impressive. Paddling through the calm waters with the sun casting a golden hue over the landscape was incredibly peaceful and allowed for a unique perspective of the Sanbar's picturesque coastline. The kayaks were well-maintained and easy to maneuver, making the experience enjoyable for both beginners and experienced kayakers alike.

What truly made the experience stand out was the exceptional guidance and support from the staff. Their expertise and passion for the marine environment were evident, as they pointed out interesting flora and fauna, ensuring we didn't miss any of the hidden gems beneath the waves or along the shore.

Overall, the snorkeling and kayaking experience at Sanbar is a must-do for anyone looking to immerse themselves in the beauty of nature, whether underwater or gliding on the surface. It's an ideal adventure for those seeking tranquility, excitement, and a deeper appreciation for the natural world.

I was inspired to participate after seeing a former professional baseball player use this service on a TV program during his trip to Hawaii.

I was picked up at the hotel and arrived at the port while enjoying the view of the steep cliffs on the way to Kaneohe Bay. After using the restroom next to the parking lot, I took off my shoes and boarded barefoot.

We moved while observing heart-shaped coral reefs and honu, anchoring near the activity boat displaying the international A flag. Due to the spring tide, the morning tour had lower tides, but it was fully booked. The water depth was about 90 cm. Although the sun was out, the waves and current from the offshore wind felt strong.

I snorkeled with my wife and was able to see the coral, honu, and fish beautifully. Stand-up paddling (SUP) was more challenging than I expected.

On the boat, I enjoyed coffee, apples, and spam while chatting with a female staff member about her trip to Japan, and before I knew it, it was time to return to the port. She pointed out my eye color and told me I have hazel eyes, which led to an interesting discussion about mixed genetics. (We also laughed about what the lesson from Urashima Taro might be.)

After boarding the bus, I realized I couldn't find the belt where I had put my cash. I searched with a staff member who also had hazel eyes named Franky. I was about to give up when I saw Franky desperately searching even in the restroom trash can, and then I noticed something at my neck... Sorry, it was there all along.

We arrived safely at the hotel. Thank you so much!!!

I wanted to try the malasadas from Leonard's Bakery, which the shuttle driver highly recommended, but there wasn't enough time to stop.

I recommend everyone bring marine shoes, a waterproof case for your smartphone, and a hoodie.

Thank you so much to all the staff. See ya!

TV番組で元プロ野球選手が、ハワイに行った際に利用したのを観たのが参加するきっかけとなりました。
ホテルでピックアップされ、カネオヘ湾に向かう途中の急峻な崖を観ながら港に到着。駐車場脇のレストルームで用を足し、シューズを脱いで裸足で乗船。
ハートマークの珊瑚礁、ホヌを観ながら移動、国際A旗が掲げられているアクティビティー船近くに錨泊。
 大潮で条件としては朝のツアーの方が、潮が引いていたのですが、予約が埋まっていました。水深90CMくらいかな。日光は出ていましたが、沖からの風で波、潮の流れがきつい様に感じました。
 妻と一緒にシュノーケリング。珊瑚、ホヌ、魚を綺麗に観られました。
SUP 思った以上に立ってパドリングするのは難しかったです。
 船の上でコーヒー、りんご、スパムを食べ女性スタッフと、日本に旅行しに行った話しをしていたら、あっといううまに帰港の時間。瞳の色に着目され自分がヘーゼルだと教えてもらい、遺伝子がミックスされる事が面白いという思考が有るのを教えてもらいました。(あと、浦島太郎の教訓はなんだろうって事も笑)
 バスに乗車後キャッシュを入れたベルトが見当たらない事に気づき、その女性スタッフと同じヘーゼルの瞳を持つ FRANKYと一緒に探してもらいました。見つからないので、諦め掛けていましたがFRANKYがトイレのゴミ箱まで開け必死に探している姿をみたとき、何気に自分の首元に視線が、、、、、ごめんなさい。有りました。
事なき得て無事ホテル着。 本当にありがとう!!!

 シャトルの運転手さん激押しのレナーズべーカリーのマラサダ食べたかったけど、寄る時間無かったのね。

 みなさん マリンシューズとスマホ防水ケースあとパーカー持参がおすすめ。

 スタッフの皆さん Thank you so much. See ya!
