Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Hawaiian Music - Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports
Outstanding experience
Reviewed by: Joyce L
Wow, where do i start? first of all, the online purchase was very easy and straight forward. you get what are being described in the details plus more -- FUN and KINDNESS from all the staffs!
let's take it from the top -- we stayed at Waikiki area, the drive to the harbor was pleasant and nice. please do arrive early to find parking though!!
Check in -> meet the staff under the red umbrella. It literally took us a minute or less. once you get a stamp on your hand for everyone in your party, you are good to go use the bathroom, change or just hang out until the boat arrives.
Once on board -> staff will tell you where to sit and once you put your stuff away you are free to get in line for lunch. Lunch is no 5-star Ritz quality, BUT it's enough to fill your belly for all the fun activities you will do. you are always welcome to go 2nd round if there are food left behind.
Before water -> staff will introduce themselves, hang out life jackets and tell you all the rules before you jump into the water. While you are in the water, there are multiple staffs in the water to help or give you a pointer of where the fishes/corals/sea cucumbers/sea urchins are. once you are tired of snorkeling you can use the paddle boats and/or kayaks. First timers? no problem, the staffs will help you to get a hang of it before you take off. if you go far beyond or get drifted by the wind/waves (like me!) they will send someone out with the speed boat or kayak to pull you back within the area...with a SMILE! let me just tell you how many times (3) i got drifted away and these people always pulled me back with a big smile on their faces.
These staffs are so kind, helpful and so happy. they really know how to put a smile on people's face. oh and the live music onboard was wonderful, you can dance your way back to the shore! i highly recommend this group for your sandbar visit!!

2.5-Hour Waikiki Guided Turtle Snorkel Tour, Snacks & Drinks - Holokai Catamaran
Second trip with Holokai. Great Crew!

Family trip to have a wake for my father who just passed. The crew was fun and amazing. They even played a terrible Clancy Brothers song in his honor. The whole boat went silent (the Clancy Brothers are that bad). Thanks for the memories!

Reviewed by: Family
My family of 7 with 4 kids ages 12 to 7 had a great time. It was their first time snorkeling so they were able to walk in the water and try out snorkeling rather than being thrown into the ocean to figure it out. We played volleyball, football, and kayaked. Crew was excellent.

Waikiki Snorkel with Turtles Cruise with Beers & Cocktails - Ke Kai Catamaran
Great Snorkeling Experience!
Reviewed by: John and Judy
The crew aboard the catamaran was terrific, fun and entertaining! We would recommend experiencing this snorkel excursion in the morning, as the fish and turtles seemed to be more active earlier in the day. We had snorkeled in the same vicinity a couple of days before in the afternoon, and the sea creatures seemed to be less active then.

Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Hawaiian Music - Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports
Spring Break 4/2022
Reviewed by: Deborah & family
Jesse and all crew members,
I am reaching out to thank you for all your efforts in making sure my daughter & grandchildren and I had a good time. When we arrived we expressed our disappointment and you all were so kind in reassuring us that you would do your best to make sure we had a good time. And we did!!
You were all so wonderful. Jesse, you made Jack’s day by playing football with him on the sandbar. At the end of our stay in Honolulu he said that was his favorite day of the whole vacation. I am quite sure he will remember that day all his life. And eventually my daughter and granddaughter went out and enjoyed sharing a kayak.
The lunch was very nice and all the crew members we spoke with were very kindhearted and friendly. I just can’t say enough about everyone. And Jesse, you’re also a very good singer. You and your band member are very talented!
So thank you again for making our sandbar adventure a wonderful day that we will never forget..
Sincerely,
Deborah Muehlenbein

Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Hawaiian Music - Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports
Great for many water activities in one spot!
Reviewed by: Angie E
We loved our adventure!
We stayed in Waikiki for a short trip and decided to book with this company because it had many of the activities we wanted to do available in one trip. We chose the option to be picked up in Waikiki, and it took less than an hour to get to Kaneohe. BYO food and beverages so we packed hotdogs, pbj, water and my husband packed a beer. We also packed 2 towel and a change of clothes. There is a convenience store on the dock for last minute food and drinks; TBH we probably could have bought all our food and drinks at the dock instead of lugging it from Waikiki.
We set sail with live music to the sand bar which was incredibly magical. Took 4 songs to get to our area of the sandbar and the day we went the water was about 3 feet deep. I would ADVISE to get to the floating barge asap and get a spot because we had a large family get there first and dominate the raft. (Be courteous to others and let people enjoy the raft and don't hog it!) We got to experience all activities we wanted and it was over before we knew it. We didn't kayak and had maybe wanted one more hour but the time we were out there was enough to be highly satisfied.
We paid extra for the banana and tube rides and they were so much fun! While on the banana boat, the gentleman driving the speed boat slowed down for us to see the sea turtle that was swimming passed. What a great surprise! You only get one trip on each.
All the staff was friendly and I felt comfortable they had everything under control.
We would HIGHLY recommended this adventure, especially if you have a short time in Hawaii and want to do at lot of water activities. Great for families, too!

Fun & relax
Reviewed by: Elvy He
My daughter loves it so much. However, we don’t have big Sun that day, so I choose to stay inside of the boat most of the time. My daughter go paddleboarding and diving. She loves it. Both of us go for the banana boat, it’s too short actually like 5 mins. But it’s fun and we have people fell off. So, if the weather is good, it’ll make a big difference.

Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Hawaiian Music - Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports
Amazing experience, must do while on the island of Oahu
Reviewed by: P Yang
This tour was amazing. My friend and I met the tour guides and boat at the dock in Kaneohe and once we got onto the boat, we received a decent lunch. I highly recommend doing the afternoon package for the food and better weather. The boat ride took about 15 minutes and we were entertained with live music along the way. When you dock, they give you about 4 hours to do anything you want on the sandbar. From snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding or just hanging out on the floating bar. I highly recommend this as a must do activity if you are on the island of Oahu. This boat tour is definitely worth the money and so much fun!

Amazing time!
Reviewed by: Matt S.
First off, the staff. Super friendly, super helpful, super efficient. The Kaneohe Sandbar is fun enough as is, but with S.U.P’s, kayaks, and a floating “chilling” barge, it was a blast. Family friendly. Had my three boys in tow, ages 5,7, and 15. Many mahalos to the great staff. I don’t usually post reviews, but felt the need to share. The band playing to and from the sandbar was the cherry on top!

We had an amazing time and will be back on any future trip. We saw about a million fish and two turtles. I accidentally dumped everything out of the kayak and the dry bag kept everything perfectly dry. Snorkeling and kayaking here was one of the absolute highlights of our trip.
Aloha Michaela! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure! And thank you for taking the time to leave such an amazing review of your experience! We really appreciate that.

Well what can I say? The team was kind and answered any and all questions we had. We were promised sea turtles and we got just that. Getting to swim atleast 1.5meters away from the turtles as the came to the surface multiple times. Being able to observe multiple sea turtles swimming around the depths and the various fish of the reef. To wrap up an already amazing and special experience, we also got a lengthy surprise visit from a family of dolphins swimming up close and personal to the catamaran as we headed back to the harbour. Like I said, what can I say?! Definitely recommended to all who are interested. 5/5

This trip was awesome! We are a family of 4 (kids age 5 and 11) and everyone LOVED our time on the boat. The crew was amazing - very informative and helpful. They looked out for everyone’s safety but also made sure folks were having fun. Food was good and they had adult beverages for purchase. Very kid friendly - had child-sized snorkel gear and life jackets. The boat was very clean. Not to mention the beautiful landscape as your backdrop for swimming/snorkeling/turtle-watching…pictures can’t adequately capture just how breathtaking it all was. We didn’t want it to end!

Best excursion!
Reviewed by: Robert Yang
This was the highlight of our family trip. Love how there were so many activities not just for adults but for kids as well. We bought two separate packages for our families, and definitely you should get the all inclusive package it comes with bumper tube and the banana boat and that was so much fun. Half the family that didn’t get the all inclusive missed out on that. Also, they have a changing room so you can changed into your swimwear when you get there as well. You’re allowed to bring your own drinks/ alcohol, food and snacks on the boat. So much activities and there’s a lounge area to hangout as well. We definitely recommend this excursion to everyone. It will not disappoint and also all the staffs are super friendly and welcoming.
