Pick-up from Waikiki & Check-in at Heeia Kea Small Boat Harbor
Once you board the catamaran, your expert local crew will provide you with safety instructions, and a personal fitting of snorkeling equipment. You can be rest assured that you will have a fun and safe aquatic adventure in the beautiful and calm waters of Kaneohe Bay.
Cruise through the clear blue waters of Kaneohe Bay, home to a barrier reef and a huge variety of tropical fish, to get to the Kaneohe Sandbar, a natural, raised sandbar that provides a beach right in the middle of the bay. You will have ample time to enjoy the views of the Koolau Mountains too!
At high tide, the sandbar is submerged in waist-deep water, while at low tide it's completely exposed, creating an islet that is 100% beach! Guests of all ages can take their pick of what to do, and you can play a game of water volleyball, swim near the sandbar, or just walk around and relax.
After working up at an appetite at the Kaneohe Bay Sandbar, get ready to have a deliciously simple BBQ lunch of freshly grilled burgers, beans, chips, and more on the boat, all while surrounded by beautiful views of Kaneohe Bay, Chinaman's Hat and the Koolau Mountain range.
Snorkel and swim in Kaneohe at one of the United States' only barrier reefs, the home to countless fish and other forms of Hawaiian marine life. The calm waters are great for both new and experienced snorkelers to explore Hawaii's majestic underwater paradise.
When you climb back onto the after an afternoon of snorkeling, you can use the fresh water shower to rinse, so you will have a comfortable return trip. Sit back and relax, and enjoy the smooth cruise back to the harbor, as the quiet sound of the wind and ocean fill the air.

My wife and I had a great time with Captain and crew. Enjoyed the bay, sandbar, watching sea turtles, and meeting new friends from around the country.
Great burgers and cold drinks were perfect to make this excursion...

moreAn awesome day!
Awesome boat, fun and knowledgeable crew, and great food and drinks! My only problem was with the snorkel equipment…I would suggest bringing your own mask and snorkel with the bivalve…these set ups were something my kids...
