All Reviews for Stand Up Paddle Rental & Lessons

I was anxious about my first overseas trip, but I felt reassured because there were staff members who spoke Japanese. I was able to participate comfortably. The activities were also enjoyable!

The staff constantly checked in with us and kindly explained various points, so I believe even first-timers can participate with confidence.

Moreover, I was really happy that a staff member approached me and took me to see sea turtles! Thank you very much!

初めての海外旅行で不安だったのですが、日本語を話せるスタッフの方がいたので安心して参加できました。
アクティビティも体験できてとても楽しかったです！

スタッフの方々が常に声をかけてくださったり、ポイントなども丁寧に教えてくださるので初めての方でも安心して参加できると思います。

さらに、スタッフの方に声をかけていただき、ウミガメを見に連れて行ってもらえたことが本当に嬉しかったです！
ありがとうございました！

The sea was very beautiful!! I took a small child with me, and the child had a great time as well. There was plenty of time in the water, and we could play with snorkeling gear and boards until we got tired.

I booked a plan that included lunch, so we enjoyed delicious sandwiches. While on the boat, we enjoyed singing and took in the wonderful ocean views to our heart's content.

とてもきれいな海!!小さな子どもを連れて行ったのですが、子どもも大変楽しんでくれました。たっぷりの水中時間もあって、飽きるまでずっとシューケリングやボードなどを遊べます。
ランチ付きのプランを予約したので、美味しいサンドイッチを頂きました。船では歌を楽しんでいながら外の素敵な海景色を思う存分眺めました。

海の透明度、水の中に入ると色々な種類の魚がいて楽しかったです。現地の方々の接客や歌手の方の歌も心地良かったです。

The staff were very kind and took great care of me, even though I'm not very good at Japanese.

The atmosphere on the boat was wonderful, and the sea was truly beautiful. I was able to see a lot of fish while snorkeling, and I am very satisfied with that experience.

The banana boat was even more fun than I imagined, and it became a wonderful memory. I definitely want to participate again!

スタッフの方がとても親切で、日本語があまり得意ではない私にも最後まで丁寧に対応してくださいました。

船の雰囲気もとても良く、海も本当にきれいでした。シュノーケリングでは無事にたくさんの魚を見ることができて、とても満足しています。

バナナボートも想像以上に楽しくて、素敵な思い出になりました。ぜひまた参加したいです！

各国の人が集まり、船上ライブで出航から大盛り上がり！
海は美しく、シュノーケリング・カヤック・SUPボードの体験ができ参加して良かったです。私達は2度目の参加でしたが、次回も参加したいと思います。

It was a participation in weather that had rain for the first time in 20 years. The sea was gray, the water was above our chests, and the white sand was invisible. Moreover, due to the extreme cold, we ate cup noodles on the returning boat (laughs). By the way, both of us had slight stomach issues from the cold. On bad weather days, definitely cancel!!

２０年ぶりの雨模様という天候での参加でした。
海は灰色、水は胸以上、白い砂は何も見えず、さらにあまりの寒さに、戻る船でカップヌードル食べました(笑)ちなみに２人とも、寒さでややおなか壊しました。
天候の悪い日は、必ずキャンセルを!!

Had an amazing excursion with Kaneohe! One of the absolute best days spent on the water. Booked with a group of 8 for the afternoon sail, played vball, snorkelled, paddle boarded and a huge thanks to Cal who took us out for a quick boat trip to see turtles and lucky enough to see a tiger shark!! Amazing music by the very talented musicians on board, we sang along to all their songs.. could’ve sailed for all day long! Huge thanks to the entire crew for one of the most memorable days we’ve ever had on vacation xo

We were in Hawaii in mid April right after the major storms and while they were still experiencing a significant amount of rain over what is typical for that time of year. Despite that, this excursion was still one of the major highlights of our trip.

My husband and I had done this on a previous trip to Hawaii and had such a wonderful time that we decided to do both morning and afternoon half day packages and to bring a friend this time around.

The water, while a bit chillier than last time was no where near intolerable, and the fish to feed were plentiful. The staff is very attentive and went above and beyond to ensure that we had a memorable experience.

**I want to highlight that this portion is not a guaranteed experience, nor is it typically included in the package we paid for, but want to include it as an example of how far above and beyond the staff will go to ensure a fantastic experience. They have a wonderful array of activities to do, but the wildlife interaction was the primary reason my group was there and the staff noticed this. Because I had booked both half day experiences and that was our primary interest they took us on a special boat ride to see the sea turtles AND we also got to see manta rays which normally are not on this side of the island. The person driving the boat was exceptional and very informative if you asked questions. She also knew how to ensure you got the most out of seeing the animals without disturbing their natural environment which I really appreciated as an observer. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience and it wouldn't have happened without the wonderful and thoughtful staff.

Money well spent and already planning to do the same again the next time we are in Hawaii.

I had a great time!!

We were blessed with good weather, and since I had learned snorkeling from a professional during a different activity the day before, after kayaking and other activities, we enjoyed snorkeling for over an hour. I swam with the fish and observed them!

I also participated in the banana boat and bumper tube rides, but the splashes were quite strong, making it hard to keep my eyes open for a long time, so I thought it would have been better to have goggles!

とっても楽しかったです！！
天気に恵まれたというのと、前日に別のアクティビティでプロの方にシュノーケリングを教わっていたということもあり、カヤック等をした後は1時間以上シュノーケリングを楽しみました。魚と一緒に泳いだり、魚を観察したりしました！
また、バナナボートとバンパーチューブに参加したのですが、結構水しぶきが強く目が開けられない時間が長かったので、ゴーグルがあった方が良いかなと思いました！

Even those who can't swim can participate without any issues! There's no need to worry about what to bring or changing clothes. If you minimize your valuables, you won't have to worry about your belongings, and you can enjoy a comfortable ocean experience. I was able to fully enjoy Hawaii while listening to live music.

泳げない方でも問題なく参加できます！
持参物も着替えも心配ありません。
貴重品を最小限にすれば、荷物の心配もなく、
快適な海体験ができます。
生の音楽を聞きながらハワイを堪能できました。

I was looking forward to enjoying the sandbar, but it didn't appear on the morning ferry during Golden Week. However, the stand-up paddleboarding experience at waist height was not scary, and I could see my feet clearly; the sea was beautiful, and it was really great. Also, snorkeling was fun because they provided fish food, which attracted the fish. Overall, I was very satisfied.

サンドバーを楽しみに行きましたが
GWの午前便では、サンドバーは出ませんでした
ですが、腰くらいの高さでのsup体験は、怖くなく、足元もよく見えて、海も綺麗で、とても良かったです
また、シュノーケルはお魚の餌をくれるのでお魚が寄ってきて楽しかったです
全体に、大満足でした

During the round trip by boat from the harbor, there were two singers and live performances. While enjoying the beautiful sea, I had a wonderful time surrounded by relaxing music. There was only one changing room, so I hurriedly changed out of my swimsuit, but I think those who stayed in their swimsuits must have been quite cold. Unfortunately, we didn't see any sandbars or turtles. We could do stand-up paddleboarding, but maybe it wasn't necessary to go all the way to Kealoha Bay?

ハーバーから船での行き帰りに、二人の歌と生演奏があった。綺麗な海を眺めながら、ゆったりと音楽につつまれながらとても良い時間を過ごせた。更衣室が一つだけだったから慌てて水着から着替えられたけど、そのままの方は、かなり寒かったのではないかと思う。運が悪かったかサンドバーや亀はみられなかった。SUPができたけどケワロ湾まで行く必要なかったかも⁈

This was a fun cruise to a beautiful sandbar! The live music on the cruise was amazing! Would do this again!

I felt安心 (safe) with the Japanese staff. All the staff were cheerful. It was enjoyable to freely enjoy marine sports like kayaking or just sitting on a bench and gazing at the sea. The clarity of the water was incredibly beautiful, and I was able to see sea turtles. It became a wonderful memory. I would love to repeat this experience, but I hope jet skiing could be an option as well.

日本人スタッフがいて安心でした。
スタッフみんな陽気な方ばかりでした。
自由にカヤック等マリンスポーツを楽しんだり、ベンチでぼーっと海を眺めてるだけで楽しかったです。海の透明感がすごく綺麗で海亀も見れます。とても思い出になりました。またリピートしたいですが、ジェットスキーがオプションで出来るといいなと思いました。

I couldn't see the sandpit, but it was fun! 😃 I enjoyed kayaking, snorkeling, and seeing sea turtles. The donuts for a light snack were also delicious! 😁

砂場は見られなかったが楽しかった😃
カヤック、シュノーケリング、ウミガメ、楽しめました
軽食のドーナツも美味しかった😁

There is about 2 hours of playtime on-site, which is plenty of time to enjoy. The ratio of Japanese participants is around 30%. The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is nice. I was able to see a lot of fish while snorkeling. However, hitting the coral can be painful and can cause scrapes, so be careful. I participated during a low tide according to the tide chart, but the water level was about knee-deep, and it wasn't the sandbar I had imagined.

現地での遊ぶ時間は約2時間あり、十分楽しめます。日本人の比率は3割くらい。スタッフも気さくで雰囲気もいいです。シュノーケリングで魚もたくさん見ることができました。珊瑚に当たると痛いし擦り傷になります。注意です。潮見表で潮位の低い時間帯に参加しましたが、水位は膝くらいで想像していたサンドバーにはなっていませんでした。

This excusion was one of our top experiences during our trip to Oahu. All of the staff was friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and FUN! We had clouds and a little rain but that did not dampen our fun. It was clear that the staff are all professionals, yet they made us feel like long-time friends. They ensured our safety at all times. It was the perfect variety of activities.

We had an amazing time. Everyone was super friendly, easy to navigate. Would love to come back again!

There was a staff member who was Japanese, and they explained everything kindly and politely, which made me feel at ease and enjoy the experience! I was able to see sea turtles as well. Even as an older lady, I had a great time.

スタッフの方に日本の方がいて、優しく丁寧に説明してくれて、安心して楽しむことができました❗️
海ガメも見られました。
おばさんでも、十分楽しかったです。

The banana boat and bumper tube were a lot of fun! The staff was also very friendly. The weather wasn't great, so I would like to experience it again on a sunny day in the blue sea.

バナナボートとバンパーチューブはとても楽しかったです！
スタッフも親切でした。
天気がイマイチだったので、晴れた日にまた青い海で体験したいです。

Internet during boat ride
Activities on sandbar ( paddle board, kayaks , snorkeling and tubing)
Friendly stuff

Due to the rain, we couldn't see the sandbar. However, we had a great time with SUP, kayaking, snorkeling, banana boat rides, and bumper tubing. The staff was attentive, ensuring our safety and providing a lot of fun. I want to go again next time when the weather is nice.

雨の影響でサンドバーは見られませんでした。
しかし、SUPやカヤックやシュノーケリング、バナナボート、バンパーチューブでとても楽しめました。
スタッフがちゃんと付いていて安全面でも安心できましたし、楽しませてくれました。
次回はお天気のいい時に行きたいです。

It would have been great if the weather was better but still a fun time. My only complaint is that I would have liked the area that is cordoned off for paddle boarding and kayaking to be bigger. The live music is a nice touch!

This is our third time doing the tour and still nothing short of amazing

This was the one excursion that I was looking forward to during my visit. It did not disappoint! Sure the weather could have been better, but the sandbar was just beautiful. The entire staff team was amazing , welcoming, fun, attentive and entertaining. I would highly recommend this sandbar tour and especially this crew.

10/10 recommend. Great staff. Friendly. Great music.

I opted for the pickup service, but while waiting at the pickup location, the bus did not arrive, so I called the contact number. Unfortunately, the person on the phone only spoke English, which made it difficult for me to understand the situation, and I ended up feeling anxious because I couldn't get the information I needed.

However, once I was there, the staff members were very entertaining, and it turned out to be a memorable tour. I was able to enjoy activities like snorkeling and canoeing multiple times for free, which made the time fly by. I'm really glad I participated.

送迎付きにしましたが、ピックアップ場所で待っていてもバスが来なかったため問い合わせ先に電話を掛けました。しかし、電話口が英語での対応だったため内容を理解できず、結局問い合わせができず不安になったのは残念な点でした。
現地では、スタッフの方々が楽しませてくださり、とても思い出に残るツアーになりました。シュノーケリングやカヌーなど無料で何度もおこなうことができたため、しっかり楽しめて時間があっという間でした。参加してよかったです。

I had to share the experience to my sister and her family that my kids and I had the first time we went here back in June 2025. For my nephew's bday March of 2026, I suggested to go to the Kaneohe sand bar again. The consistency of their best service is just really incredible. From the warm welcome of the staff, the island vibe voices of the singers, the lifeguards who constantly keeping an eye to the kids, the captain who made the banana boat super exciting and safe. The place, the view and the people gave us all an unforgettable experience. Looking forward for the next visit, hopefully with the rest of our extended family. Mahalo/ Salamat!

My wife and I, along with our daughter and her husband and our grandchild, participated in the event. We checked the tide schedule in advance and joined, but it wasn't as low tide as we expected. As a result, our grandchild stayed with us on the boat. However, our daughter and her husband enjoyed paddleboarding and kayaking. Additionally, during snorkeling, we were able to admire various fish along with the coral reefs. We are grateful for the kind assistance from the staff.

私たち老夫婦は、娘夫婦と孫と参加しました。事前に干潮の日時を調べて参加しましたが、思ったほどの干潮ではありませんでした。よって、孫は船内に私たちと待機でした。しかし、娘夫婦はSUPやカヤックを堪能しました。また、スノーケリングでは、サンゴ礁とともに様々な魚を鑑賞することができました。スタッフの皆さんの優しいご対応に感謝します。

We loved everything about the this tour. We went in the morning, and the water was almost waist deep but it didn’t bother us. We got to see many fish by snorkeling, did standup paddle boarding, kayaking, and listened to the amazing musicians perform onboard. The crew were very kind, helpful and entertaining. They made it extra fun. My husband and I had a great time and would gladly do it again, only with KBOS. Highly recommend going with this crew.
