Excellent crew, live music and a beautiful setting
Reviewed by: Jess from CA, 2024/04/20This was such a a fun time! The crew and musicians are what made it so good. They all exude the aloha spirit. The live music was such a a treat, they had really good rapport with our group and were so fun, and talented too. The crew was so wonderful and so nice.
The bay itself is a treasure, so so beautiful. The water is gorgeous, the mountains are stunning. They provide paddle boards, kayaks, snorkel gear, and volleyballs.
And the crew is very helpful with all of the gear and how to.use.it. I would recommend it!

Great Excursion highly recommend
Reviewed by: Lynn Tran, 2024/04/07My hubby and I took our 9 and 5 year old on this Sandbar trip. It was a short boat ride out & the kids never got motion sickness.
Tour guide was very thoughtful and had a bunch of water toys for everyone, we had canoes, SUP, volley ball and various water sports stuff to go around.
It took 3-3.5 hours which is just perfect and right when we got tired it was time to head back.
The band playing music was very good and this is a nod to the singer as he was clearly a talent and easy on the eyes
This trip was great!! Just enough tabs priced reasonably oh and bring your own snacks & booze!! That was cool they let us pack our own munchies!

so much fun!
Reviewed by: Maika Frye, 2024/04/06This was such a fun excursion that my friends and I did in Hawaii! we all had so much fun and agreed it was the best thing we did our entire trip. They provide food and all the gear to snorkel or paddle board. The weather wasn’t the nicest when we went (cloudy) but we still had so much fun, and the staff was so nice!

What a great last day of our vacation.
Reviewed by: Drew, 2024/04/05The 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

Love it
Reviewed by: Suki O, 2024/03/31Went for a morning tour with my parents and two of my kids, everyone love it!!!! They give you some bread to feed the fish so that we see a lot of fishes swimming around during snorkeling. They have lots other activities for you to play around, and the most best part is: all the staffs are super nice, and they SING GOOD!!!

Loved it! We had such a great time, only wish it was longer
Reviewed by: Sarah, 2024/03/16Loved 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.

Wonderful Snorkeling and kayaking experience
Reviewed by: Junsheng, 2024/03/14Embarking 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.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! :)
Reviewed by: John Nieva, 2024/02/29We love the setting of the boat lounge. All the staffs are very friendly and helpful. We love the donuts and drinks! The singers while sailing are also good. We also love how they guide us on how to do the snorkeling and how they are protecting us while doing our sandbar activities. Special thanks to Toby for checking on us while doing the paddle board. We will definitely go back with them on our next Oahu trip! Highly recommended! Don't go somewhere else if you want the best Sandbar experience!!!
We really appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you again soon! Mahalo! - Team KBOS

It was really amazing
Reviewed by: Hanna, 2024/02/29We had a great time with fantastic performances and snacks even before arriving at the sandbar. Even after the boat stopped, their wonderful performance continued. Thanks to that, returning to the boat after activities wasn't boring. Moreover, kids can see a lot of fish at a shallow depth for snorkeling. I highly recommend this tour! The staff are extremely kind and friendly.

Great fun, great singing, great crew.
Reviewed by: Trubg, 2024/01/27Even though the water was a bit chilly we had a lot of fun. The singing was sensational on the way there. We saw a bunch of big fish after walking a hundred steps, there were a lot more colorful ones near the corals. After snorkeling , we did a bit of kayaking as well, the sun came out and we warmed up. Tip: look up low tide times a few days ahead and book appropriate sessions, we didn’t do that so the sandbar was not visible.

Fabulous day out
Reviewed by: Cathy , 2023/12/09It was not the best weather day… raining but it cleared when we boarded the boat to Kaneohe bay. The trip was pleasant with warm welcoming, music, and a light but satisfying breakfast. The crew were amazing. So helpful and very knowledgeable and safety conscientious.
The snorkeling was beyond our expectations and the day out on the sandbar was such fun with the crew being extremely attentive to our needs.
We had an amazing day . Can’t wait to do it again

Amazing time out in Sandbar!
Reviewed by: Kevin Arias , 2023/10/16Great experience out with the boat crew in Sandbar. Music was great and the entire crew shared the mahalo spirit. Definitely recommend getting to harbor early for parking. I had to park on street but you can safely with other cars.
