Fun for the whole family

We had a great time on Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkel Cruise. There was so much to do - from kayaking, paddle boarding, snorkeling, volleyball... or just lounging. A fun time was had by all. The staff was super friendly, the live music was excellent. The boat was clean. Would do this again!

サンドバー天使の海 シュノーケリング＆ウミガメウォッチクルーズ 船上のBBQグリルで焼くハンバーガーランチ付き！＜午前／日本語クルー＞
The best place 最高の場所
Reviewed by: papa
Since we departed before Golden Week, there were fewer Japanese participants, and the overall number of attendees was low. We enjoyed swimming and playing volleyball at the sandbar without any rush, refreshing ourselves under the beautiful blue sky. After that, we observed sea turtles and snorkeled around the coral. It was an amazing day, seeing fish swimming up close in the tank and sea turtles swimming nearby. We were blessed with great weather, and I am grateful to the bright and energetic instructors. Thank you, Yuki, the Japanese instructor!
ゴールデンウィーク前に出発したので、日本人は少なく参加人数も少なめでした。わさわさしないでサンドバーで泳いだりバレーをしたりステキな青空の下でのんぎりリフレッシュその後ウミガメを観て珊瑚の周りをシュノーケル日本では水槽の中で泳いでいる魚を間近で観たり海亀も近くで泳いでいたりとにかく最高の1日でした。天気に恵まれとにかく明るく元気なインストラクターの方々に感謝です。日本人インストラクターのゆきさんありがとうございました。

Highlight of our family's vacation!
Reviewed by: slee818
Highly recommend activity with young children! The crew was so accommodating to everyone on board and nothing makes it a great time when good music, food and fun under the sun. We still talk about this activity and how much fun we had. It was definitely the highlight of our trip in O'ahu and we'd do it again the next time we're back!

Kaneohe Bay Kayak & Snorkel Self-Guided Tour [Tour Not Available]
Would be fun on a nice day!
Reviewed by: Carly
This would be an amazing thing to do weather providing!!
The day we booked was overcast and windy, when we arrive there was a bulletin board with things to know noting you would not see the sandbar clearly that day. We checked in wnd the lady had told the people behind us who asked to rent kayaks that the water was quite rough and that if you are begginers it’s probably not a good day to go out. We were worried as beginners then… the water was so rough we got about 20 mins out and the wind was blowing us all over the place and every wave we hit felt like we were going to flip the kayak. We decided it was not safe and decided to go back. They wouldn’t even refund us considering the weather conditions so it was a complete waste of money unfortunately. If they would of let us switch dates we would of been happy to do that but they don’t allow you cancel unless they decide the weather isn’t good enough. Was super disappointing.

Kaneohe Bay Kayak & Snorkel Self-Guided Tour [Tour Not Available]
Disappointing
Reviewed by: Elsmeister
We chose this company due to the reviews, but unfortunately we were disappointed with the reality. The guy checking us in was fine, but very serious and not really friendly. The weather was pretty windy, so the conditions were not easy. However we were given no guidance from the staff on how to deal with this, or any tips. When we asked where we should aim for to reach the sandbar, we had the very unhelpful advice of 'its kind of where that yacht is now, so head for that'. Bearing in mind the yacht was moving! It would really have helped to have some clear markers or something to aim for, especially when wind and tides are taking you in the opposite direction! We got lots of don't go here or here' but not much else.
While the sandbar is around 1.5 miles out, so not too far, it really required knowing what you are doing, and some real strength to cope with strong winds and currents to reach it. Otherwise it could have been very dangerous. The sandbar was really interesting to see when we got there, but the strong winds bashed the kayak around so much we couldn't stay too long. Obviously that's not this company's fault though. Overall it wasn't what I expected and a bit disappointing unfortunately.

Adventurous Experience!
Reviewed by: lucy
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience kayaking to the sandbar! It was easy to follow the instructions and the map to get to our destination. It is quite tiring, but the view is breathtaking. We did start our kayaking adventure around 9am, so those that had an earlier reservation at 8am were already at the sandbar, so we were on the lookout for the bright yellow kayaks when making our way there, but I can definitely see some getting lost if they went early in the gloomy morning. Weather conditions do vary on how visible and shallow the sandbar is, but we were lucky to get to see the sandbar exposed!
Aloha Lucy,
Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak adventure! And thank you for taking the time to leave such an awesome review for us! We really appreciate that. Stoked you made it to the sandbar. And your feedback about the conditions, wind, tide, visibility, distance, difficulty level, all of the above is all very true and great feedback for people to hear. So we appreciate that as well. Stoked to hear it sounds like you had an overall good experience and good workout kayaking out there. Hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!

Worth it, favorite activity
Reviewed by: Hello kitty mar
The best experience on our whole trip, plan to go back. I found this activity from a YouTube review which depicted the activity perfectly. We upgraded to the Banana boat and bumper ride, which is just a quick few minutes ride each. There was so much to do and explore, the 3 hours went by too fast. The musicians on board was the perfect touch in creating a fun relaxed atmosphere, their music set the tone for the trip and was the fun that pumped us up to enjoy the whole trip. My elementary school kids enjoyed all the different activities. We brought our own food and drinks. We brought our own snorkel gear. We enjoyed the included refreshments. I invited my best friends family to join us and they felt the same. Will book again.

Aloha, I am very sorry to hear that your experience was a disappointing one. Unfortunately the wind/conditions are something we cannot control, and 1.5 miles in ocean conditions is quite a long paddle. You are correct, it definitely does require a good bit of strength and paddling ability. So, it's great that you made it to the sandbar in those conditions. It sounds like you did a good job finding your way and paddling in some challenging conditions. I am more sorry to hear that you didn't find our staff's instructions or briefing to be helpful. They limit how many characters my response can be, but we'd love to give you a better answer to your concerns if you want to email us directly. But I'm sorry our instructions fell short and weren't as helpful as they should have been, and sorry that led to a disappointing experience. Thank you for your feedback. That is very much appreciated, and hopefully something that we can use to improve our process for the future. Mahalo.
