Great Trainer

Reviewed by: Nikki

The trainer for paddle boarding is great! We don’t know his name. He is a very skinny guy, tan, looks like a local or asian like. He is very helpful!

Kaneohe Bay Kayak & Snorkel Self-Guided Tour [Tour Not Available]

Disappointed

Reviewed by: Disappointed

The maps are not helpful. Once out of the cove, it was hard to find the landmarks to orient ourselves. Did not see any fish or turtles while snorkeling. The wind was so strong and guides did not give advice on how to navigate in high winds- were paddling hard on right side trying to go left but kayak continued to go right. Upon finally making it back to the cove the guides did not get up from their seats, didn’t assist us getting out of kayaks and just told us to put the paddles and life jackets back ourselves.
Would not recommend.

Aloha. I am sorry to hear that you had a disappointing experience kayaking and snorkeling with us. And sorry that you did not find our map or our staff's instructions helpful. Was there any information missing from our map or anything that we could have added to the map to make it more helpful? Any feedback would be appreciated as we would love to improve if possible. Unfortunately we can never guarantee wildlife sightings. The animals are always there, you just have to be in the right place at the right time. I'm sorry that they weren't there for you that day. And although we are in the flattest bay on the island, we are still exposed to the wind and conditions, and there is almost always wind involved in ocean kayaking. But very sorry again that overall your experience was disappointing.

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

Good, Fun Event with a couple minor negative details

Reviewed by: Fred S

Let's start with the good. Crew was fabulous. Boat was great. Live music was excellent. Variety of activities was excellent--especially the banana boat and disc events--which I highly recommend you add to your experience. Paddle boarding and kayaks were also a nice option for the family. Food/drinks was good too.

The not so good--the snorkeling was just average because we were not allowed to have much freedom to explore. They should allow a time allotment for the extra perks so more can enjoy the extra activities. The main negative was the music they played traveling back to shore--although fun for young adults and old--not too great for my 7 y/o as there was not the consideration of having music with bad language being played for her to hear and ask questions.

Still a good experience overall and would do again IF the music was at least filtered a bit.

Chill and relaxing trip

Reviewed by: Nina Gal

Very friendly crew and overall a good experience. Just a bit too crowded in the boat especially while we are still in a pandemic.
The boat was clean overall and great music played on our way there and way back. Lunch was fresh and nice. Overall a good experience with the ability to choose what you wanna do. Kayaking was fun and other options to paddle board or snorkel. No sea life since the coral reefs are dead unfortunately.

Kaneohe sandbar

Reviewed by: Kathy

Absolutely breathtaking beautiful clear water. The live band and crew were amazing. The tide was very low so we were not able to do much snorkeling here, although we did see a few different varieties of fish. This was mostly a place to enjoy the water, views, and have some beverages in the sun. A must see when visiting Oahu.

So much value. We all enjoyed this experience so much. For one price, you get to do so many activities that warrant the same price on their own. The crew and entertainment were excellent. My kids asked to come back before they even got off the boat. Mahalo!

An experience you don't want to miss!!!

Reviewed by: Brenda

The transportation to and from the place makes it such a smoother process! Everyone on the crew were really amazing and sweet! We had so much fun and it's definitely something everyone should do if it's their first time visiting. The only thing is that they don't have towels, so bring your own! Otherwise it was such a fun experience for the family!

Fun way to enjoy the Sandbar!!!

Reviewed by: Cree Richmond

This was one of our most fun activities in Oahu!!! Very relaxing, amazing live music, super friendly staff and the water sports were a highlight!!! We will be back again. Ny husband lost his wallet in the ocean and one of the Captains was honest and returned it. This was such a blessing because our trip could have been ruined with no way to return home. But thanks to the crew on the boat , it stayed just as awesome as this fun day at the sandbar cruise!!!!

Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkeling Tour & BBQ Lunch with Waikiki Pickup

Great snorkeling fun!

Reviewed by: Christine

This was a great experience for me and my family. The kids had never been snorkeling and it had been a long time for me. I like that we had transportation from the hotel, and then a fun boat ride. They had life vests and snorkeling gear. The stop at the sandbar was fun because we decided to get used to the snorkeling gear while others played volleyball. And my daughter doesn’t swim so she was getting comfortable in the water there. Lunch was great, a nice bbq on the boat. And then the snorkeling was so cool! By the way there’s a ladder down into the water (especially good for kids but all the adults used it too.) We saw a lot of sea turtles on the way to our spot. And also while swimming. And as you know or will hear, you have to back up from them and give them 10 feet of space. But they are majestic! So cool to see the reef and all the tropical fish. My son especially loved it. The crew was all very great and helpful. I think it’s a great trip and we are glad we did it!

Private Kaneohe Sandbar Speed Boat Rental with SUP & Snorkel – Captain Bruce

Great experience for the whole family

Reviewed by: Stefanie

We booked the trip for 4 people age 22-67. While the younger ones went on a private guided snorkeling tour and saw a lot of turtles the seniors could wander around the sand bar, take a floatie or hang out on the boat. Small snacks, soft drinks and water were provided. As well as snorkeling gear, floaties and a SUP. We had an amazing time time on the sandbar!

Very good water activities for families with young children!

Reviewed by: Marie

Our family enjoyed the sandbar. We went in the morning and the water on the sandbar is about 2 feet high, perfect for my 8 yr. old. We did snorkeling, paddle boat, and kayaking. There are buoys that set the limits of the sandbar so you don't go to the deep parts. The guides are everywhere and very helpful if you happen to be drifting outside of the sandbar. This is more kid-friendly than the Ko Olina snorkeling where the water is about 30 feet deep. The guides and crews on both activities are super friendly and helpful.
