Kaneohe Sandbar
Reviewed by: The Rhodes', 2023/01/09This tour exceeded all expectations! The crew was outstanding along with the transport accommodations from hotel to the boat. The musicians aboard were nothing short of amazing. You will leave this tour with seeing some of the most beautiful landscape ever. The equipment was top notch along with a great beach experience with snorkeling, kayaks and volleyball. I have been to Hawaii numerous times before and this excursion tops the rest! Mahalo!

Awesome crew!!!
Reviewed by: Mama, 2023/01/06All I can say, this group is awesome. We had the sandbar adventure last January 4, 2023. Despite the weather didn’t cooperate, they still made sure that we have a good time. Supposedly it’s a big group, but because it’s raining that day, some parties cancelled their trip while we just want to get over it and don’t want to be back the next day. It turned out to be an awesome adventure for us. My kids still did their banana boat ride and bumpers as well as paddle boarding and snorkeling. And my daughter even had a chance to have duet with my HERO!!! (It’s a long story).
I’m so thankful with them coz my kids really enjoyed this adventure. We all had a good time.
Mahalo for sharing your experience! We are so glad to know that your kids enjoyed our tour. Hope you will join us again. - Team KBOS

Amazing Crew and Family Fun
Reviewed by: Jack, 2023/01/03The crew is so friendly and willing to work with everyone on the boat. Go out of their way to make you feel comfortable on the water and experience all of the activities they have to offer.
Beautiful scenery all around you and being on the sandbar was so cool. The tube and banana boat rides were a blast and the jet boat operator is a stand up dude
Mahalo for your review, kind words for our crew, and the beautiful pictures! - Team KBOS

Absolutely loved it
Reviewed by: Huan , 2023/01/01It was stress free and full of fun. Everything was prepared including snorkeling gears, paddles, kayaks, etc. There was even a floating lounge. We saw a lot of tropical fish and coral. Crew members were very nice and enjoyed what they do. Will recommend 100%!
We really appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you again soon. Mahalo! - Team KBOS

Very organized tour!!!
Reviewed by: Lucy, 2022/12/29Everything was very organized and the crew is very friendly! We had lots of fun snorkeling and swimming. The sand bar is incredibly beautiful! It’s one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen! I definitely want to do it again! The only thing I recommend is when you buy the tour don’t forget to add transportation because it is not easy to get a taxi or Uber there.

Great activity for a family with kids!
Reviewed by: Brendan , 2022/12/29Absolutely a “must do”. The staff was amazing and friendly and we loved the music on the boat along with the activities provided (snorkeling, paddle boarding, kayaks). It was so amazing to be on a shallow beach in the middle of the ocean!

Awesome experience - worth every penny
Reviewed by: Manamana, 2022/12/24As everyone else, we wanted to snorkel at Hanauma Bay during our trip to Hawaii. However, the tickets sell within 1 minute and by the time you go to pay, there are no tickets left!!!
So I started looking for other snorkeling locations and discovered this package at Kaneohe sand bar. It had great reviews and they were all true.
The boat was absolutely clean, then crew was amicable and extremely courteous, and the musicians were phenomenal. Really. It was sawesome. Once you hit the sand bar, we went snorkeling, then kayaking and paddle boarding.
The most significant moment was when we were talking to Kai-ia, a very friendly employee that told us the secrets of the locals, and made our experience even richer.
We will definitely book this again in our next trip to Hawaii.
And you should do it too!!!

Beautiful day at K-bay
Reviewed by: Crystal, 2022/12/24Our family of 4 thoroughly enjoyed our time. We snorkeled and paddle boarded and just relaxed on the floating lounge. The live music was fantastic. The entire staff was super friendly and helpful. The lunch was delicious and fresh and the constant flow of water and lemonade nice addition. I would definitely do it again.

Just ok
Reviewed by: Ella , 2022/12/19It’s cool and all, just not much to do out there. Basically paying to swim 10 minutes off the beach. Not worth the money.

Fun at sandbar
Reviewed by: M & A, 2022/12/13Our time at sand bar was amazing, it started with the crew and the musicians.

Overall it was a great time!
Reviewed by: Jules , 2022/12/05The activity was fun! Service was great! The views were outstanding! The only reason I didn’t rate this a 5 star is because I thought the experience was going to be longer. I either misread the information online for the itinerary wasn’t clear. But either way I would definitely do it again!

Amazing experience
Reviewed by: Andrea , 2022/12/05I was very impressed with the Kaneohe Bay Sandbar. It was our first time out there and it surpassed our expectations. The food was not the greatest but we went for the experience and not the food. The live musicians were awesome and got the crowd pumped and excited. The lifeguards were also great in explaning how to do things such as kayak, snokleing, as well as the banana boat and bumper float. The views while in the water, amazing. So BEAUTIFUL! Definetly must go to Kaneohe Sandbar.

family day out
Reviewed by: Tracey, 2022/12/04We where a party of 8 adults. It was such a beautiful day from the time we got on the boat the staff where very welcoming and gave us a a run done of the do's and dont's. On the way out to the sandbar we where entertained by two very talented singers. We had donuts ,water and soft drink for morning tea. only took about 15 min to arrive at the sandbar.It was such a lovely morning you could do some canoeing, paddle boarding, Volley ball, snorkeling,or just chilling on the barge.
All up we had an awesome day and would highly recommend doing it.
we would all do it again the next time we are in Hawaii.Do yourself a favour and book it next time you go to Hawaii.

Sand Bar
Reviewed by: Estela Garcia, 2022/11/19This activity was so much fun and absolutely worth it. Purchasing was easy, directions and parking was super easy. We drove our own car from air b&b in Waikiki. Little store in parking area for last minute drink/snack purchases. We brought our own floaters. The ride to sand bar on boat was nice and smooth with live music! The time on sandbar was amazing. The views all around were so so pretty! The kayak/paddle boarding was so much fun! Def bring your own drinks and snacks. Would definitely repeat!

Amazing time with phenomenal people
Reviewed by: Candice Garcia , 2022/11/18We had such a great time with KBOS. All the crew are amazing, we love the fact that the captains were women. Had live music from extremely talented singers and they were so nice and caring. The lifeguard even saved my friend from getting stung by a Portuguese man of war!
The team deserves to go to Las Vegas for their Christmas party hint hint For the boss LOL.
Mahalo for the best time❤️❤️

Kaneohe bay sandbar ocean sports adventure
Reviewed by: Rupert, 2022/11/06I highly recommend to book with this company. Everyone, from the Captain, to the crew, to the people who assist in the sign in are amazing. They already provide the equipment for most of the activities and you have the option to have a meal. They also provide water and lemonade drinks. Had a great, amazing time.

Wet but fabulous
Reviewed by: Kerri, 2022/11/06We've been to Honolulu a number of times and only found this awesome tour this visit!
Apart from the weather, wow what an amazing trip it was.
The sandbar is obviously tidal which wasn't in our favour but the water was warm and low enough where you could walk along the ocean floor to the floating barge for a sit and relax in the open.
The only thing I could suggest is that they serve drinks as well at an extra cost or even include it in the price.
Would do this tour again in a heart beat...hopefully with lots of sunshine next time
