After the end of COVID, there were only two groups of Japanese people, including us. The rest were from other countries.
Since there are Japanese staff, they kindly taught us everything and checked in on us.
They even took photos for us, which we really appreciated.
The sandbar had high transparency and was incredibly beautiful!!!
We saw several sea turtles from the boat!
During snorkeling, we were able to see two of them up close!
It was truly the best experience to see so many friendly staff and cute sea turtles.
The light meal hamburger was also delicious!
They had hand sanitizer available, which made us feel safe.
I definitely want to participate again, and it was a tour I would want to recommend to acquaintances!
コロナ明けで日本人は私たち含め2組だけでした。そのほかは他の国の方たちばかりです。
日本人のスタッフがいるので、何から何まで親切に教えてくれたり、声をかけてくれます。
写真も撮ってくれます^ ^ とてもありがたかったです。
サンドバーは透明度が高く、とてもとても綺麗でした!!!
ら海ガメは船の上から何匹も見れました!
シュノーケルでは間近で2匹も見ることができました!
親切なスタッフとかわいい海ガメをたくさん見れて、本当に最高の体験でした^ ^
軽食のハンバーガーも美味しかったです!
手指消毒も置いてあって安心でした。
また参加したいなと思うのと
知人にも紹介したくなるツアーでした!

I actually did not really like this experience. We ate breakfast at 10am, just in time to be picked up at our hotel, which was really nice. We got there and right away we were told very rudely that we had to eat lunch as soon as we got in the boat or we were not getting anything to eat at all. For a trip that says that you are required to bring a motion sickness treatment for the boat ride, eating lunch on the way there really seamed unlikely. I would of thought that they would serve lunch and you can choose when you are ready to eat sometime after we arrived at the sandbar.
Second, I know this is out of their control, but the water was freezing and the area we could do activities was so limited. They had snorkeling and paddle boarding. There were no fish in sight and the water is like 3 feet deep. I would rather spend my time going and buying lunch and spend my afternoon at Waikiki beach then spend the money to do this activity, Not really a happy customer.

Far exceeded my expectations. Crew was great, attentive as well as the live music. The 3 hours flew by and we did not want to leave after a banana boat ride, snorkeling, volleyball and relaxing on the lounge. Ive been to Hawaii many times... this was one of my favorite things to do. The early trip (9am) is probably the better option because parking is very limited and you will have to park on the street and walk a bit to the pier. Also bring cash because there's no ATM in the market and you will want to leave a tip for the crew and band. A must do if you go to Hawaii!!!

Such a fun time for young large groups! Came with a large group of 16 all in our 20’s. It felt like the live musicians were personalizing their song picks to us and interacted with us. There’s several activities to choose from. The lounger is great and looks so good for photos!! Tubing was so fun, and it seemed like the crew was having a good time as well. Definitely recommend the raft vs the banana boat for a more extreme time! I just wish we had more times to fully do all the activities, I wouldn’t have minded and extra 30 mins or 1hr. This activity would be fun for families, but since it’s BYOB I recommend it more for young groups. Can’t recommend this activity enough!!

The tour group that hosts this is top! Everyone on their staff was so friendly and helpful. We had a great time as a family of 6. My girls both wanted to try the paddle board and the staff was great about giving them solid instructions. Snorkeling was delightful and the total water experience was well worth the money spent. Only regret was we did not bring a GoPro or some sort of waterproof camera setup as we got zero picture of this experience :-(

This excursion was amazing. The trip out was smooth, the staff was super friendly and helpful! The snorkeling and activities were so much fun!! I highly recommend the morning tour, the weather was amazing! We had a little bit of rain before the sun peeked out and gave us a beautiful time. The view was breathtaking, as the clouds parted the views of the mountains were unbelievable! Would definitely do this again.

My friends and I did the Kaneohe bay sandbar in the afternoon since it included a lunch box, and it turned out amazing. We did snorkel, kayaking, paddle boarding. It was such a good time! One of the crew members even helped one of my friends who didn’t knew how to swim. They kept us safe all the time if we were to leave safety area.

The entire experience was fantastic from start to finish! The land crew was so helpful trying to get us all onboard safely and efficiently. Once onboard, the crew and entertainment was beyond anything we could have expected. They were friendly, engaging and so welcome! At one point, they took us out on a boat to a heart-shaped reef so that we could leave flower petals in honor of the loss of our mother. It was just the best time and we highly recommend this booking for anyone wanting to go out to the sand bar to have fun, be very well taken care of and create a day of memories that will last a lifetime.

On the boat to Sandbar, I was able to enjoy donuts and live music, making the travel time enjoyable! I was satisfied with the many activities I could experience! The staff was very kind and attentive, checking if there was anything I didn't understand in their explanations and occasionally providing explanations in Japanese. However, there were no lockers, so be careful with your valuables. I would be very satisfied if the price were a bit lower!
サンドバーに行く船ではドーナツが食べられたり生演奏が聞けたりと、移動時間も楽しく過ごせました!沢山のアクテビティが体験できて満足です!スタッフの方が、説明で分からなかったことはないかと色々気にしてくれたり所々日本語で説明してくれるなどとっても親切で優しかったです!ロッカーなどは無かったので貴重品の管理には注意です。もう少し金額が安ければ大変満足です!

I absolutely enjoyed the experience. I wasn't able to see too many sea life, however, that didn't take away from the overall fun at all. I personally have a mild fear of the deep ocean, so going too far out into sea in a kayak frightens me. But it would be a miss opportunity for me to not try this at least once while on vacation. My only criticism is that the kayaking zone is a little confusing to figure out, so I felt it was too mixed up with the commercial zone and the military zone. The zone marker was hard to figure out so my group just follow other groups instead.
Aloha Dara! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure! Thank you also for taking the time to leave such an awesome review for us. We really appreciate that. I am very glad to hear it sounds like you had a great time kayaking with us and conquered your fears a little bit! That's great. I know it is a big bay and without a lot of markings or anything, we do our best with the map, but sometimes it is hard to figure out. Thank you so much again, we hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!
