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

Such a good time!

Reviewed by: Ayleen

I book this for me and 3 other people. We absolutely loved everything! The boat ride was really comfortable and they did their best to keep parties separated for COVID safety. We added the banana boat to our day and it was a little scary but so fun! I was having a tough time getting on the board but the staff was super helpful and reassured all of us. I wish we got to ride the boat more than once or later in the day, but it was still fun.

Overall, the trip was great and the staff provided so much to do!

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＞

It became a great memory. いい思い出になりました

Reviewed by: na◎◎

On the day of the sandbar, unfortunately, we left Waikiki with a feeling of disappointment due to the bad weather, but that feeling was blown away once we got on the boat (*´-`).
I believe there were two boats in total, one filled with Japanese people and the other with foreigners, each departing separately.
The crew member Yukiko was very cheerful and funny, teaching us various things. On the boat ride to the snorkeling area, we followed the directions and were able to see a honu and a manta ray.
Unfortunately, we couldn't see them underwater, but I was very excited to see so many fish.
It was a tour that made me want to participate again next time.

5泊した中でまさかのサンドバーの日だけ生憎の天気に残念な気持ちでワイキキを出発しましたが、そんな気持ちも船に乗れば吹き飛びました(*´-`)
日本人ばかり集めた船が一隻、外国の方で一隻の合計2隻でそれぞれ出発だったと思います。
クルーのゆきこさんはとても明るく面白く、色んなことを教えてくれました。シュノーケリングエリアまでの船で指示通りの方向を見に行くと、ホヌとマンタを見ることができました。
残念ながら水中では見ることはできませんでしたが、沢山の魚にとても興奮しました。
また次も参加したいと思える様なツアーでした。

The long-awaited Kaneohe Sandbar. 念願のカネオヘ・サンドバー

Reviewed by: Yamasan

I had always wanted to experience the "Kaneohe Sandbar," and I finally made it happen at the age of 70. I felt a bit anxious from the time I booked the tour until just before participating, but I remembered the "Dolphin Swimming Tour" I took a few years ago on the Big Island and thought, "It'll be fine! Let's go!!"

The advice from the snorkeling guide was great, and I enjoyed swimming slowly with the honu (sea turtles). After that, I challenged myself to stand-up paddleboarding in the shallow waters. It was a meaningful half-day.

一度は体現したいと思っていた”カネオヘ・サンドバー”、70歳になって実現しました。ツアー予約から参加直前までは一抹の不安がありましたが、数年前にハワイ島で参加した”イルカとスイミングツアー”のことを思い出し、大丈夫！レツゴー！！
シュノーケリングガイドのスタッフのアドバイスがグッドで、ホヌさんなどとゆっくりスイミング・・その後は、浅瀬でサップに挑戦・・
有意義な半日でした。

The weather wasn't great, but the scenery, snorkeling, and freedom were all fantastic! 天候いまいちの赤ちゃん連れでしたが、景色、シュノーケリング、自由度どれも充実してます！

Reviewed by: なっぽ

Unfortunately, it was cloudy with occasional rain on the day of the tour, but it was still a highly satisfying experience. Even before reaching our destination, we could see sea turtles from the boat, and we enjoyed the cruise with delicious snacks (Mochiko Chicken was the best) in hand. Despite the clouds, the refreshing view of the sea and sky made the activities enjoyable. Since it was early September, the water was a bit cold at first, but it gradually warmed up. The snorkeling was deeper than I expected, but even with the murky water, we could see plenty of sea turtles and tropical fish up close, which was a lot of fun!

We had a one-year-old child with us, and everyone was welcoming and kind. During our free time, we could easily move between the covered area of the boat and the sea without worrying about disturbing others while taking care of baby food and diaper changes. There were also free rentals of floaties and underwater viewing boards, and my son seemed to have a great time.

The explanations were in English, but they also provided additional explanations in Japanese, which was reassuring. Just be cautious about the order of stops for the return bus, as it was different from the outbound trip, so you might miss your stop.

当日は残念ながら曇り時々雨でしたが、それでもかなり満足度は高いツアーでした。目的地到達前からウミガメが船上から見え、付いてきた美味しい軽食(モチコチキン最高)を片手にクルーズを楽しめました。曇っていても見渡す限りの海と空の爽快感でアクティビティも充実。9月早朝だったので最初は水がやや冷ためでしたが徐々に温かく。シュノーケリングは思ったより深いところでしたが水が濁っていてもウミガメも熱帯魚も触れる距離で沢山見えて楽しかった！
一歳の子供がいましたが、皆さん歓迎ムードで可愛がってくださり、自由時間中は屋根付きの船内と海を自由に行き来出来るので周囲に気を使う必要なく離乳食やオムツ替え等できました。浮輪や水中の見える浮板？の無料貸し出しもあり、息子もはしゃいで楽しそうでした。
説明は英語ですが日本語の説明も別途追加してくれて安心。ただ最後の送りのバスの停車順序が行きとバラバラで、降り逃しにご注意を。

A sandbar you absolutely must visit. 絶対行くべきサンドバー

Reviewed by: 母娘旅行♪

It had been three years since my last trip to Hawaii. Since I was going, I was really looking forward to the sandbar tour that I booked in advance. During the shuttle bus ride, they introduced us to recommended classic local foods along the way. We transferred to a boat to head to the sandbar. The weather was beautifully sunny, and it felt amazing to snorkel and play with floaties and on the boat. We even got to see sea turtles, and my parents, who were snorkeling for the first time, were well supported even though they couldn't swim. They really enjoyed feeding the fish as well. Although there was no meal provided, there were snacks, apples, and drinks available. The staff explained everything in both English and Japanese, and they were friendly, even taking photos for us. It was a wonderful tour. I brought a bath towel, a change of clothes, a wrap towel, a hoodie, and spam onigiri, so I was comfortable on the return bus without getting cold. They were very kind to stop by Leonard's as well. The sea was like paradise; it was truly a beautiful place.

3年ぶりのハワイ。
せっかく行くならとサンドバー ツアーを早めに予約しとっても楽しみにしていました。
送り迎えのバスではオススメの定番グルメを道中案内してくれます。船に乗換えサンドバー へ。見事に晴天でシュノーケリングや浮き輪やボートで遊んで本当に気持ちよかったです。ウミガメにも逢えて、シュノーケリング初の両親も、泳げなくてもフォローしてくれ、お魚さんへ餌やりも出来とっても楽しんでいました。食事なしですが、スナックやりんご、ドリンクがありました。スタッフの皆さんは英語と日本語で丁寧に説明してくれ、フレンドリーで写真も撮ってくれたり、とっても良いツアーでした。バスタオル、着替え、羽織れるタオル、パーカー、スパムおにぎりを持って行ったので帰りのバスも冷えることなく過ごせました。レナーズにも立ち寄りしてくれたり、とっても親切でした。天国の海、本当に素敵なところでした。

It was amazing!! 最高でした！！

Reviewed by: frederica

I was a bit suspicious of the overwhelmingly positive reviews, but it was truly amazing. The weather was clear on the day, and the sea looked even more beautiful. There were about equal numbers of Japanese and English speakers on board. With a Japanese guide present, those who don't understand English can feel at ease. At the sandbar, they set up a beach volleyball court, which everyone enjoyed regardless of nationality. The BBQ hamburger for lunch had freshly grilled patties that were very juicy. After that, we saw many sea turtles during the sea turtle watching, and I even had the chance to swim with a manta ray while snorkeling. (It's said that encountering sea turtles and manta rays on the coral reef is quite rare.) Overall, I was very satisfied. However, please make sure to apply sunscreen thoroughly, even on the backs of your knees. You will regret it otherwise.

最高レビューばかりで若干サクラを疑ってましたが本当に最高でした。
当日は快晴で、海が一層綺麗でした。

お昼のBBQハンバーガーは焼きたてのパテがとてもジューシーでした。

So fun! This is one of my favorite boats. I liked that it had a covered cabin area for those who wanted to get out of the sun for a bit. The start time mid-morning was great to have a bit of a sleep-in. We headed out to Turtle Canyon, about 5-10 minutes sail from the shoreline. The snorkel gear and fins were good quality and we saw TONS of turtles!! After snorkeling for about an hour, the crew sailed the Waikiki coastline to Diamond Head and we had lunch while we sailed. This one also comes with 2 drinks. The boat was pretty spacious so we had room to move around. Overall, great experiences & great crew!!

Tons of turtles & lots of fun!

I took my niece on this snorkel sail, and we both had a fantastic time. The captain and crew are so friendly, and we great about making sure we were both safe and comfortable in the water. Not only were there lots of fish at the snorkel spot, but we saw a bunch of turtles as well. The crew is also really good about making sure we didn't get too close to them, but also pointed out the turtles when they would come to the surface. The snacks they provided were greatly appreciated after over an hour of swimming and snorkeling, and I loved that they turned off the motor on the way back to the harbor so we could actually sail with just the sound of the ocean and wind. 10/10 would recommend!

This experience really shows off Oahu's beauty! My boyfriend and I reserved a 4 hour time slot and kayaked out the sandbar. We had as much fun getting to the sandbar as we did at the actual sandbar. Snorkeled around a nearby coral reef and saw a huge sea turtle. Kayaked around the sandbar a little more before heading back and saw 5 other sea turtles. I hear that's pretty rare though. Don't bring towels because they'll get soaked anyway on the kayak and bring lots of sunscreen and hats!!

Reviewed by: ペンギン

I participated alone, but I was able to enjoy myself thoroughly. I did SUP, kayaking, and snorkeling, all of which were included in the price during the time spent at the sandbar, so I could fully enjoy those activities without any worries. There was a stage on the boat with musicians, and I was able to enjoy everything from pop folk to Hawaiian music during the round trip to and from the sandbar. When I participated, there were only three Japanese people, but they provided explanations in Japanese, and I felt their hospitality. I wanted to swim with sea turtles and dolphins, so I signed up for an optional tour for that. Although I didn't go diving, I was able to fully enjoy the ocean. It's best to check the tide levels and aim for times when the tide is as low as possible. When I participated, the tide was about knee-high, but the beauty of the sandbar was captivating.

一人での参加だったが十分楽しむことができた。私はSUPとカヤックとシュノーケルをしたが、全てサンドバーにいる時間内で料金に含まれているので、そういったことも気にせず満喫できた。船内にはステージがあってミュージシャンもいて、ポップスフォークからハワイアンミュージックまでサンドバーまでの行き帰りの時間もめいいっぱい楽しむことができた。私が参加した時は日本人が3人しかいなかったが、日本語で説明をしてくれたり、おもてなしの心を感じた。海亀やイルカと遊泳をしたかったので、それについては別途オプショナルツアーを申し込み、ダイビングこそしなかったものの、十分に海を満喫することができた。参加日時は潮位を確認し出来るだけ潮位が低い時を狙うべき。私の参加時は膝上くらいの潮位だったが、サンドバーの綺麗さには見入るものがあった。

Reviewed by: Michelle

I've been to Oahu many times. I brought my fiance this time since he's never been. I wanted him to try out snorkeling and see things other than fish, so the turtle tour was a perfect fit. Honestly the crew did a great job. Even the people we had on the boat with us doing the tour was a wonderful group. The only few downsides were: it rained. And I mean it poured! Not for very long and I'm sure the people in the water didn't notice it much, but I was sitting on the boat at the time and I was trying to cover our backpack and towels, since we would need them to dry off later, and it was coming down like pellets. But it didn't last more than 10-15 min and was more or less over. But the sky stayed dark making it hard to see through the already dark water. The turtles became less visible and it made our whole group decide to get out of the water and come back onto the boat to head back in. We were out there for a good amount of time but not the full time. The other problem we had was it got very crowded in the water looking at the turtles. 4 other boats full of passengers were doing other turtle tours as well. There was just a lot of people bumping into each other. I tried to stay away from most people and still saw a ton of turtles, but my fiance on the other hand had a harder time. It was also scary when I'd look up and not see him through all these other people. The last problem was that there were a few people who didn't know how to swim or snorkel. So it took a long time to explain how to use the snorkel equipment and pass out floaties. The positives were the boat was smooth sailing. Everyone was on time and nice. The turtles were wonderful. Hard to see them when they get super deep but they were big and beautiful and did not disappoint. Lots of fish to see too. The couple who run the boat are wonderful and so are there family who came and helped out as well. For the price I would definitely recommend this and probably do it again when we go back!

There were sea turtles! ウミガメ居た！

Reviewed by: Dice

We participated as a couple. Half of the other participants were Japanese, and the rest were from China and South Korea. It was reassuring for my wife that announcements were made in Japanese after English. The tour was managed by the captain, a young man in charge on-site, and three other young staff members. The boat was made up of two vessels in blue and green, and we alternated between snorkeling and free time at the sandbar. The itinerary included pickup in Honolulu, boarding at the Kaneohe harbor, viewing heart-shaped coral, arriving at the sandbar, playing with SAP and floaties, and then moving to deeper waters while snorkeling to look for turtles. At the sandbar during my visit in mid-September, the water was about waist-deep, which was a bit different from what I expected, but we had fun. Even in mid-September, when we got out of the water and the sun went down, the women seemed a bit cold. I felt it would have been nice to have a pile hoodie in addition to a bath towel. No one was wearing wetsuits; we were moving as a group while looking for sea turtles while snorkeling, but on that day, we didn't encounter many turtles. I observed a turtle resting among the corals while swimming, and when I patiently searched alone, I was fortunate to see a turtle swim out from the corals to breathe. Although I was close to the surface, I was satisfied to swim alongside it. It might be better not to move in such a large group. Other than the turtles, we didn't see many brightly colored tropical fish. I wondered if the shuttle bus driver was affiliated with the food truck or perhaps related to the family, as we stopped by a malasada food truck on the way back and everyone bought the recommended malasadas, which were delicious. The shuttle car was cold due to the air conditioning, so it was fine on the way there before entering the water, but it might be good to have a change of dry clothes for the return trip. Alternatively, you could let the driver know you were cold. I took photos and videos with my iPhone in a waterproof case, but the compatibility wasn't great, as the case and strap reflected in the camera lens, and I couldn't use the touch screen underwater, which made handling difficult. I felt a GoPro would be better. It seemed there was no service for taking photos (and selling SD cards), so it would have been better to prepare a way to easily record the experience without compromising it. Overall, I had a great time and was satisfied. The boat ride wasn't too long, and it didn't sway enough to make me feel seasick. We had fun at the sandbar and got to swim with sea turtles, achieving what we wanted to do. It would have been perfect if there had been a jacuzzi on the boat for when it got cold. The level of service was high, and we had a pleasant experience. Thank you for everything!

夫婦2人で参加しました。他の皆さんは日本の方が半数、あとは中国や韓国の方々が参加されてました。英語の後に日本語でもアナウンスしてくれて妻も安心でした。ツアーはキャプテンと、現場を仕切る兄ちゃんと、あと若手の3名で船を仕切ってました。船は青と緑の2台構成で、船ごとに交代でシュノーケリングとサンドバーでの自由時間を過ごします。工程としては、ホノルルでピックアップ→カネオヘの港から乗船→ハートシェイプのサンゴを見て→サンドバー到着→SAPや浮き輪で遊んで→そのまま流れでシュノーケリングしながら深みに移動してカメを探す流れでした。サンドバーは私の参加したタイミングだと腰上くらいの水深で、砂州が島になってたりするのかなと思ってたのとはちょっと違いましたがまぁ楽しく遊べました。参加した9月中旬でも、海から上がって陽がかげると女性陣は少し寒そうでした。バスタオルの他にパイルのパーカーでもあると良かったなと感じました。ウェットスーツは着てる人居ませんでした、シュノーケリングしながら団体さんでウミガメ探しながら移動してましたがこの日はなかなかカメに出会えず、サンゴの間でじっとしてるウミガメを泳ぎながら観察する感じでしたが、一人で辛抱強く探してるとウミガメがサンゴの間から出て泳いで息継ぎに行くところに遭遇出来ました。こっちは水面張りつきではありますが、一緒に泳げたので満足です。あまり大所帯で移動しない方が良いのかな。後は、ウミガメ以外はあまり南国っぽい派手なお魚には出会えませんでした。送迎のバスのおっちゃんが提携してるのか惚れ込んでるのか、はたまた家族だったりするんじゃないかと思ったりもしましたが帰りにマラサダのフードトラックに立ち寄ってみんなでオススメのマラサダを買って、食べながら帰りました。おいしかったですよ。送迎の車はエアコンで寒いので、行きは海に入る前だから良いけど、濡らさない帰りの服の着替えはあった方が良いかも。もしくは運転手のおっちゃんに寒いアピールを。私はiPhoneを防水ケースに入れて写真や動画を撮ってましたが、ケースとの相性がイマイチでカメラレンズにケースやストラップが映り込んだり、水中では静電タッチが使えないとかハンドリングが悪いので、GoProの方がベターだなと感じました。写真撮ってくれる（そしてSDカードを買い取らせる）サービスはやってなかったみたいなので、体験を損なわなずに手軽に記録できる準備はした方が良かったです。総じて楽しく過ごせて満足です。船の移動もそんなに長くなく酔うほど揺れなかったし、サンドバーで楽しく遊べたし、ウミガメとも泳げて、やりたい事は出来ました。後は寒くなった時のために船にジャグジーでも付いてると完璧だったかもですね。サービスのレベルも高く気持ちよく過ごせました。お世話になりました！

The activities were plentiful, and we had plenty of time to enjoy ourselves!
On the boat, there were few people wearing masks. The boat was quite full of people.
The toilets were not the flushing type; instead, you had to put toilet paper in a trash can. Since we were on the sea, it might be unavoidable, but as a Japanese person, I was concerned about hygiene.
I thought it would be better if there were trash cans with lids.
Overall, the music was pleasant, the crew members were kind, and my elderly father also enjoyed it, so I think it was a good experience.

アクティビティが充実しており、時間もたっぷりありましたので楽しむ事ができました！
船の上ではマスクをしてる人は少数。割と船いっぱいに人がいました。
トイレは流すタイプではなく、トイレットペーパーをゴミ箱に入れるタイプ。海の上なので仕方ないのかもしれませんが、日本人としては、衛生面が気になりました。
蓋のあるゴミ箱とかならまだいいかなと思いました。
全体的には音楽も心地よく、乗務員の方も親切で高齢の父親も楽しんでいましたし、行って良かったと思います。
