Oahu
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!
With a professional, friendly staff, our snorkel tour was excellent! We were promptly greeted and got on board. The staff offered us water or soft drinks as we waited for the rest of the passengers to board. There was nice seating all around, and you can bring along a bag with your towel, phone, whatever. They gave us plenty of directions and offered us snorkel gear, but we brought our own that we had rented. They also provide inflatable life vests. While we were snorkeling, they kept a sharp eye on us, ready to help with any mask issues or otherwise. There were lifeguards both in the water and on deck, but it was easy swimming. The turtles were all around, with colorful fish as well. We snorkeled for maybe an hour, then got back on board - the mai tais hit the spot after having salt water in your mouth! I would definitely recommend this tour to a friend. In fact, my daughter was wishing I had booked two tours while we were in Hawaii!
Great entertainment, good food, great hospitality. Showed Polynesian culture
Nice and relaxing.
The entire crew was amazing!
It was such a fun experience, I’d definitely do it again.
It’s perfect for all ages and non swimmers!
We had the best time with Captain Bob’s Picnic Sail!
Captain Eggy and crew were so accommodating and the burgers weren’t bad too!
The Sand Bar was amazing.. and we saw a lot of turtles on the way to the Coral Reef. Snorkeling was so much fun although we didn’t see a lot of fishes.
We were a big group - like 27 of us - and most were visiting Hawaii for the first time. This was the first activity we did and I’m glad we did because we learned a lot about the island. Kim our driver and tourist guide was great! It also helped that we had the whole bus to ourselves.
Bring swimsuit to go have a dip at the Waimea Falls. If you don’t, you will have to shell out a lot of money to buy some at the spot!
The fee for the tour Is well worth it! Strongly recommend this.
We love giving tours to big groups! It makes it such a special experience. Great tip about the swimsuits! It really makes a difference to be able to jump in and experience everything our tours have to offer! We hope to see ALL of you again!
The Experience On Sandbar Was outstanding, The Boat was Big And Very Clean, The Experience Of Live Music Was Wonderful And The Guys We’re Very Nice, Helpful And Funny..
Loved this experience. The hosts waited for everyone to arrive and had everything very organized. The mai tai was great and they had other beverage options as well. The boat goes out to diamond head so you get a beautiful view along with the sunset. Would 100% do it again!
It’s about a 5-minute taxi ride from Honolulu Airport, so I was able to participate right after arriving in Hawaii.
All the staff members, except for the pilot, were Japanese and were very kind and friendly. They taught me a lot about Hawaii while offering drinks and snacks.
The facility was a beautiful space, like a lounge in a luxury hotel, and I was able to relax comfortably.
The pilot was very handsome and kind. He explained the flight route and weather conditions for the day, took photos with me, and then we were off! His gentle English was easy to understand, even for someone like me who is not very proficient. The breathtaking views of Hawaii from above, especially the beaches and Diamond Head, were beyond words. I took lots of photos and videos.
It was my first experience piloting a plane, and I was both nervous and excited; it was incredibly fun and the best experience ever.
The time flew by because it was so wonderful, and after a little tea, they kindly took me back to my hotel.
During the ride, they shared many recommendations for restaurants and tourist spots, which I was very happy about.
I plan to come back to Hawaii again, and I will definitely use this service next time. Thanks to this amazing experience and the wonderful staff, I created the best memory of my trip to Hawaii. I highly recommend it, so please give it a try!
ホノルル空港からタクシーで約5分のところにあるので、ハワイに着いた当日そのまま参加させて頂きました。
パイロット以外のスタッフさんが全員日本人の方で、とても親切に優しくして下さり、飲み物やお菓子を頂きながらハワイについて色々と教えて頂きました。
施設は高級ホテルのラウンジのような空間でとても綺麗でリラックス出来ました。
パイロットの方は、とてもイケメンで優しいです。
当日の飛行ルートや天候具合を教えてもらい、一緒に写真を撮って頂き、いざスタート!
英語が未熟な私でも理解できる優しい英語で、非常に助かりました。
上から見る、ハワイの絶景、特にビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドは、最高以外の言葉がありません。
写真や動画をたくさん撮りました。
自分で操縦する経験はもちろん初めてでしたがとてもドキドキわくわくで、非常に楽しく、最高の経験でした。
素晴らし過ぎて時間があっという間に過ぎてしまい、少しお茶を飲んでからホテルに送って頂きました。
送迎中、おすすめのレストランや観光地をたくさん教えて頂き非常に嬉しかったです。
またハワイに来る予定があるのでその時は必ず利用させてもらいます。最高過ぎる経験と、素敵過ぎるスタッフさんのおかげで、ハワイに来て一番の思い出が出来ました。とてもとてもおすすめなので是非経験してみて下さい。
this was actually tons of fun, the crew was amazing and we enjoyed the whole thing. my girfriend was nervous of the heights but she even really enjoyed it, they had lots of beautiful views and it’s worth the money for sure !
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.
It was so nice to book and the transportation was easy - the actual was really great too!
Hello Ivana,
Thank you for the review. I am glad you had a good time with John. I hope you enjoy the rest of your stay on Oahu.

So perfect! So easy to book and transport and the bike ride was AWESOME
20/10 reccomend!! Great music and the crew was so friendly. Signed up for the tube and it was so fun that we decided to sign up for the banana boat too. Another passenger had a health condition and they were so accommodating to her. Went with just the boyfriend and no kids, but they’re super accomadating to families with littles too. It’s a must go!
Had a wonderful time. Great crew and attentive service. Food and drinks were very good. We enjoyed the trip very much. Beautiful sunset.
After the aircraft check and pre-flight briefing with the instructor, it was finally time to board. Of course, they handled the controls, but they let me pilot quite a bit from takeoff to landing, and they also explained the sights and took photos, which was a lot of fun. The instructor was a young guy, but he was very reliable and kind. The president and his wife were also very friendly and easy to talk to, and they showed great hospitality with their thoughtful gestures. We flew over the sightseeing spots of Oahu for an hour, and it was so enjoyable that I wanted to go around again. If I visit Hawaii again, I definitely want to do this once more. I highly recommend this activity for its fun, great service, and excellent hospitality.
インストラクターと一緒に機体チェック、飛行前のブリーフィングの後でいよいよ搭乗。もちろん操作はしてくれますが、離陸から着陸まで結構操縦させてくれましたし、名所の説明や写真も撮ってくれてとても楽しかったです。インストラクターは若い男の子でしたがとても頼りがいがあり親切でしたし、社長様や奥様もとても気さくで話しやすく、また色々とお気遣いいただきホスピタリティも凄く良かったです。オアフ島の観光名所を1時間飛びましたが、もう1周したいほど楽しく満喫しました。ハワイに再訪したらぜひもう1回お世話になりたいです。アクティビティの楽しさ、サービスやホスピタリティの良さなど絶対にお薦めです。
It was a lovely and unique way to see the island of Oahu. To see Waikiki Beach and all the other landmarks from the air was brilliant. Helicopter ride itself was amazing. Our pilot Brandon was friendly, funny and informative. He made the flight for us. Would definitely recommend doing this activity and sitting up front with the pilot. 10/10!!!
This was our 10 year anniversary and this Dinner cruise was great! Great music and great show!
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.
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.
the experience is very pleasant throughout the whole tour, the staffs are very friendly and answered all our questions.
Our families had a great time! We loved the banana boat ride, and Enjoyed the live music! Staff were so friendly and inviting and always put our safety first! Definitely will do this again!
Mahalo \nm/. We were on the afternoon ride on 4/26
My wife and I had an awesome experience on doing the sandbar and beside the goodtimes we had in the water, i think the live music made it perfect!
Highly recommended and for sure going to book again next time we are back in the island!
We booked the afternoon ride and had an awesome time. The crew is great. They are very friendly and helpful and have such amazing attitude. The guys playing music are good too. The lunch sandwich was good, I loved the salad. The boat has changing rooms and restrooms! First time snorkeling and very much enjoyed this time with my kids. Its about 4ft deep.. Would do it again. Leave tips!
First off, I go to Hawaii all the time and only book these tours to get my hands on the ATV!. They are always nice but this one was OUTSTANDING! And the guide is the entire reason why. He was so fun and knowledgeable and super engaging. He had us dying of laughter the whole time and smiling from ear to ear. The tour itself had a lot of cool info but I’m not sure if I would have enjoyed it as much had we not had the guide we did (short Filipino dude ;)! The ATVs were so rad as well and the route we went on allowed for us to get down and dirty with the ATVs which I loved! This one was worth it! I’ll be booking again just to hang with the guide!
Aloha e Anna & Jessica, we are thrilled that you enjoyed your atv adventure with us! Weʻll make sure to let that "short Filipino dude" :-) know that he did a great job too. Take care of yourselves and we look forward to hanging out with you again in the mountains. A hui hou...
We came from Canada to Oahu and wanted to visit the sandbar. The food, staff, entertainment, everything was beyond our expectations!! This is a great great tour !! dont hesitate and get a ticket!!! You will LOVE IT!!
Thank you to all the amazing staff !
Enjoyed the tour, was actually surprised by how tasty the bbq lunch was! I went in April so I’m not sure how this affects the visibility but it was difficult to see when snorkeling. Really enjoyed seeing the sea turtles and hanging out at the sand bar
It was an amazing experience!! the guides were outstanding! They took care of us so well, very knowledgeable and friendly .
This place is unbelievable beautiful !
A must do if you are in Oahu.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Your feed back is greatly appreciated and we look forward to seeing you again in the near future.
First time snorkeling for my husband and I. Zola was very thorough and showed us all kinds of sea life! 10/10 recommend!! Will have to try scuba diving with Zola next!!
We had a wonderful time and we enjoyed all the activities at the Kaneohe Sandbar. We did the paddle board, kayak and snorkel with breathtaking views. The live music was so relaxing during the boat ride. Thanks to the captain, crew and singers who were all so friendly and amazing! Overall, it was an excellent service provided by the Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports! I definitely will book again on my next trip and recommend them to my family and friends.
A really amazing experience! Full organized even and very professional participants, they surpassed my expectations
