The sea in mid-March was too cold... 3月中旬の海は寒すぎました…

Reviewed by: 大家族

I participated around mid-March.

First of all, I found it most inconvenient that there was no pick-up service from the hotel in the Waikiki area. Since we were a group of ten, it would have been nice if they could have come to pick us up. The pick-up location was sent via SMS around 6 PM the day before, but it was written in a way like “◯◯ave. bus stop” instead of providing a map or address, which made it a bit unclear.

After getting off the bus and transferring to the boat, there were only orange juice and donuts available on board. I had seen photos and thought there might be muffins too, but it was just donuts!

When we arrived at the beach and entered the water, the water level was up to the shoulders of adults, so if you had small children, it was concerning to think about bringing smartphones or anything like that into the water. To top it off, we had two hours of free time, but the water temperature in mid-March was too low, and both adults and children were too cold, so we got out after just 40 minutes.

I don't think I will do this again!

3月中旬頃参加しました。

まず、ワイキキ地区のホテル泊でしたがホテルまでの送迎では無かった事が一番不便に感じました。
10人で利用したので、ホテルまで迎えに来てくれても良さそうですが…。
送迎場所も前日の18時頃SMSで来て、しかも地図や住所ではなく“◯◯ave.bus stop”みたいな書き方だったので少し分かりづらかったです。

バスを降りて船に乗り換えて、船の中にはオレンジジュースとドーナツだけありました。
写真を見ていたのでマフィンもあるのかな?と思っていましたが、ドーナツオンリーでした!

船が着いて海に入った時は、大人でも肩くらいまで浸かるような水位で小さな子ども連れの場合万が一の事を考えるとスマホなどは持って入れる余裕はありませんでした。
また極め付けは、2時間の自由時間がありましたが3月中旬の海は水温が低すぎて子どもも含め大人も寒すぎて40分で上がってしまいました。

次はやらないと思います!

We are very sorry to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations. We included a link to a map in the email regarding the pickup location, but it seems the information may have been unclear, and we apologize for that. It also appears that it was a day with high tide. Since tide levels change daily, we have provided a link on our website where you can check this information. We hope that next time you will use that resource and join us on a day with the best tide conditions. Thank you for participating in the tour and for sharing your family's experience. From all of us at KBOS staff.

この度はツアーがお客様のご期待に沿えなかった様で大変残念に思っております。当日ピックアップ場所のご案内メールには地図のリンク先も添付させて頂いておりますが表記が分かりずらかったですかね、申し訳ございません。また当日は潮位が高い日だったようですね。潮位は日によって変わる為、弊社WEBサイトにチェックできるリンク先をご案内させて頂いております。次回は是非そちらをご利用頂きベストな潮位の日にご参加頂けると幸いです。この度はツアーへのご参加、ご家族の体験をシェアして頂きありがとうございました。KBOS スタッフ一同

There are plenty of activities. アクテビティ盛りだくさん

Reviewed by: 60代6人旅

I participated with six female friends in their 60s. On the moving boat, we all got excited with live performances and singing. During snorkeling, we were able to see schools of colorful fish up close, which was amazing. We also participated in activities like stand-up paddleboarding. The staff were very attentive during the activities, so even though it was my first experience, I had a fantastic time. Overall, I felt that all the staff were very welcoming to us participants.

60代の女友達6人で参加しました。移動の船内では、生演奏や歌で乗客みんなで盛り上がりました。シュノーケリングでは、色鮮やかな魚の群れが、本当に近くで見られて最高でした。サップなどのアクテビティにも参加しました。アクテビティでは、スタッフの方々がいろいろ気をつかってくれたので、初めての体験でしたが、最高に楽しめました。とにかく、スタッフ全員が私たち参加者をもてなしてくれた気がしました。

What a great last day of our vacation.

Reviewed by: Drew

The music from Kalani was great on the way out to the sandbar. He was so nice, making sure he was delivering the best Ohana. The sandbar was amazing, if it hadn’t been so windy it would have been the perfect day. My son didn’t hesitate to get out on the kayak and SUP. The fish were breathtaking in the reef. We will definitely be back. The staff were so amazing and so ready to help out with anything. We loved it as a family.

Reviewed by: Y N

It was unfortunately rainy on the day, but it cleared up after about two hours!
At first, it was cold, but I got used to it once I was in the sea.
I was glad to experience various activities like snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding.
I wanted to see a sea turtle, but unfortunately, I couldn't.
The staff were attentive, and they instructed us to return if we went too far, which made me feel safe while enjoying snorkeling.
There were only about four groups of Japanese people, but a few of them spoke broken Japanese, so we were able to communicate.
They also took photos for us, and I was very satisfied.

当日はあいにくの雨でしたが、2時間ほどで晴れてきました!
最初は寒かったのですが、海に入っていると慣れてきました。
シュノーケリングやサップなどいろいろ体験できてよかったです。
海亀に会いたかったですが、残念ながら会えなかったです。
スタップの方がしっかり見ており、遠くまで行きすぎるとスタッフがすぐに戻ってくるよう指示しており、安心してシュノーケリングも楽しめました。

Had a great time

Reviewed by: Karen

The weather was cool, cloudy, windy and even a little rainy. We still had a great time. The music was amazing! The food was good, and served shortly after we left the dock. The boat provided protection from the elements. The crew was fun and friendly. When we arrived on the sandbar we were able to kayak, and paddle board. There was a large area of buoys they asked us to stay within. They had lifeguards in the water with us. They had us wait to snorkel and recommended a very specific spot to snorkel. I was confused at first, but they knew what they were doing. The sun came out, the tide came up a bit, the variety of fish was amazing. As soon I would drift out of the recommended area the coral and fish were less plentiful. Our group of 8 had a great time, and if the weather had been nice 5 wouldn't be enough stars. The music alone was work the price. Don't hesitate to book this trip.

I'm glad I made a reservation! 予約してよかった!

Reviewed by: おりな

I was a bit anxious because I saw some unsatisfactory reviews for the week I was participating, but it turned out to be great. There was music during the trip, and we got to do stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, and snorkeling—all for a very reasonable price. It was my first time seeing fish swimming up close in the ocean. It was truly moving. I actually wanted to go to the heavenly sea, but I was very satisfied with this experience. I was grateful that I was able to make a last-minute reservation. All the staff were very cheerful and kind. I want to participate again!

私が参加する週で、あまり満足のいっていない口コミを見かけたのでドキドキしましたが、とても良かったです。行き帰りは演奏がありサップ、カヤック、シュノーケル全て行いこのお値段はとても良かったです。初めて海でお魚が泳いでいるところを間近に見ました。感動です。本当は天国の海に行きたかったのですが、こちらでとても満足しました。ギリギリの予約でも間に合ったのでありがたかったです。スタッフのみなさんもとても愉快で優しい人ばかりでした。また参加したい!!

Others have mentioned it as well, but I thought it was a great tour where you could experience various activities if the weather was nice, so I took a chance and signed up. However, the seawater temperature was low, and the wind was strong, making it feel like a punishment despite the high cost. I was really disappointed. There were no sandbars either.

There was a female staff member who spoke Japanese fluently. The briefing before boarding was perfect, but after boarding, she gave off a vibe that made it difficult to approach her, so I couldn't ask any questions. She was smiling and engaging with participants from other countries, but she didn't even smile at us. I wouldn't recommend this to Japanese people. However, all the other staff members were very kind.

日本語を流暢に話す女性のスタッフがいました。乗船前の説明は完璧でしたが、乗船後は話しかけにくい雰囲気を出していて質問があっても聞けませんでした。他の国の参加者には笑顔で自ら話しかけていましたが、私達には笑顔さえ向けてくれませんでした。私は日本人にはおすすめしません。他のスタッフの皆さんはとても親切でした。

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

Great experience for beginners

Reviewed by: C&D

This was a great experience for those who aren’t very active. The staff and crew were super friendly and the live music was awesome and they were super engaging.
However, if you’re looking for more of an adventure this is not the trip for you. Mind you, this is not a criticism at all. At the sand bar, the water is knee high, and they make you wear a life jacket for snorkeling in water where you can literally touch the ground. All other activities also require life jackets in knee deep water.
We personally would not do this trip again, but we would definitely recommend it for those who want to be in the water but don’t want to take any risks.

Loved this trip! My group and I had the BEST time. Loved the floating platform for hanging out, having some drinks, dancing (we brought our own waterproof speaker).

Some of our group also liked trying the stand up paddleboarding (though noted the area you're allowed to go in is pretty small) and the snorkling.

Would definitely recommend for a big group, such an easy way to get everyone out to the sandbar and enjoy the stunning turquoise waters. We did it as part of our wedding week with guests.

Need to see while in Hawaii

Reviewed by: Jason R

Must see when in Hawaii it’s about a 20 minute boat ride out to the sandbar and there’s few companies have monopoly on it. However, they do make it enjoyable and relaxing. They have stand up paddle boards and kayaks for use but it’s only a small area you can go. This is just for relaxing and viewing Hawaii from a really beautiful location. Snorkeling isn’t the best because you’re only able to see a few fish. So what they could do better… selling or including drinks onboard. You have to bring everything with you although if you pay the fee you receive a bag of chips, a sandwich and juice/water. I didn’t like that we had to wear a life vest to snorkel, but maybe it’s to protect the coral so you don’t stand on it. Other than that the live music was awesome and everyone had fun.

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

Wonderful Snorkeling and kayaking experience

Reviewed by: Junsheng

Embarking on the snorkeling and kayaking adventure at Sanbar was an unforgettable experience that truly encapsulated the essence of exploring nature's underwater marvels while enjoying the serene beauty of the open waters. The crystal-clear waters offered an unobstructed view of vibrant marine life and mesmerizing coral formations, making the snorkeling experience nothing short of magical. Each moment spent underwater felt like being in a different world, surrounded by a kaleidoscope of colors and life.

The kayaking segment of our adventure was equally impressive. Paddling through the calm waters with the sun casting a golden hue over the landscape was incredibly peaceful and allowed for a unique perspective of the Sanbar's picturesque coastline. The kayaks were well-maintained and easy to maneuver, making the experience enjoyable for both beginners and experienced kayakers alike.

What truly made the experience stand out was the exceptional guidance and support from the staff. Their expertise and passion for the marine environment were evident, as they pointed out interesting flora and fauna, ensuring we didn't miss any of the hidden gems beneath the waves or along the shore.

Overall, the snorkeling and kayaking experience at Sanbar is a must-do for anyone looking to immerse themselves in the beauty of nature, whether underwater or gliding on the surface. It's an ideal adventure for those seeking tranquility, excitement, and a deeper appreciation for the natural world.

In the deepest part, it's about 1 meter deep, I think.

It's nice to be able to enjoy relaxed marine leisure activities in the sea.

There were also some foreigners who brought beer and other drinks (on boats and floating islands).

It doesn't feel like marine sports, so I was able to enjoy it leisurely while taking in the beautiful scenery.

サンドバーとはいうものの、実際に砂浜になるのは年数日だそうです。

1番深い所で1メートルくらいかな?

海の中で、ゆるめのマリンレジャーができるのは良いです。

外国の方はビール等を持ち込んで飲んでいる人もいました(船や浮島で)


マリンスポーツという感じではないので、良い景色を見ながらゆる~く楽しめました。

Our tours do not have a set schedule, so guests can enjoy activities, relax on the floating island, or, like Mr. Pape, take in the beautiful scenery at their leisure. Everyone is able to enjoy the sandbar in their own way. Thank you very much for participating in our tour. From all the staff at KBOS.

弊社ツアーは時間セットを設けておりませんのでアクティビティをしたり、のんびり浮島でくつろいだり、ぱぺ様の様に景色を眺めを楽しんでいらっしゃる方もおり、皆様好きなようにサンドバーを楽しんで頂いております。この度はツアーへご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。 KBOS スタッフ一同

There were Japanese people on site, and the person who explained things was able to converse in Japanese, which made me feel at ease and enjoy the experience. 現地には日本人の方がいて、説明された方も日本語で会話ができる方で安心して楽しめました。

The wind was cold, but the sunshine was warm, and the seawater wasn't too cold, so I was able to enjoy the ocean until the end. At the snorkeling and kayaking spots, the staff provided support, so I could enjoy myself with peace of mind. Onboard, there was live music, and we had unlimited donuts and drinks, making it enjoyable even while on the boat.

風は冷たかったですが、日差しは暖かく、海水も冷た過ぎず、最後まで海の中で楽しめました。
シュノーケルの所やカヤックの所には、スタッフがサポートしてくれましたので安心して楽しむことがでしました。
船内では、生演奏の中、ドーナツ・飲み物が飲み放題で、船内にいても楽しめました。

I was picked up at a nearby hotel just after 8 AM, and it took about 30 minutes from Honolulu to the harbor. The cruiser was larger than I expected, with around 30 participants and about 10 staff members, but there was still plenty of space.

First, we received various explanations from a staff member who spoke Japanese, and as the cruiser set off, we enjoyed live ukulele music and singing until we arrived at the sandbar. We had three hours of free time, and since we had signed up for the banana boat and bumper tube, we were guided there first. After that, we went snorkeling, but the water was deeper than I thought, reaching up to my waist at 163 cm. However, there were many fish around the coral, and the kids were thrilled. There were also people playing water volleyball, floating on inflatable rings, and others relaxing on the cruiser.

It might have been just that day, but the wind was strong, and the temperature didn't rise, making it quite cold! It was mentioned to bring a bath towel, but we only brought three for five people, thinking we would just dry off quickly. After drying off, we were cold, and the kids were covering their heads with the towels, leaving us parents shivering. Thankfully, they provided warm herbal tea, which helped us get through it. So, for those participating, I recommend bringing something to wear after getting out of the water, even though it might be a bit of a hassle.

All the staff members were friendly and made an effort to understand our limited English, for which we were grateful.

There were ropes marking safe areas in the water, and staff members were stationed around to ensure we could play in a monitored area. The light snacks included several types of donuts, orange juice, water, and herbal tea, and my child loved the donuts so much that they kept asking for more. Additionally, there were two clean restrooms for each gender.

I would love to participate again if I go to Hawaii!

朝8時過ぎに近くのホテルでピックアップして貰い、ホノルルから船乗り場まで30分くらいの感じでした。
思っていたより大きなクルーザーでツアーに参加される人が30人くらいと10人くらいスタッフが居ましたが、それでも随分余裕がありました。
初めに日本語が話せるスタッフに色々な説明を受け、クルーザーが動き出し、ウクレレの生演奏や歌を聴いている間にサンドバーに到着しました。
3時間の自由時間があり、ウチはバナナボートやバンパーチューブを申し込んでいたので先にそちらに案内されました。
それが終わるとシュノーケリングをしたのですが、思っていたより深く163cmの私の股上あたりまで水がありました。でも珊瑚周辺は沢山の魚がおり子供が大喜びしていました。あとは水上バレーや浮き輪で浮いてる人、クルーザー中でゆっくり過ごす人様々でした。
その日はたまたまかと思いますが、風が強く気温も上がらずとにかく寒い!バスタオルは持参と書いてあったのですが、さらっと体を拭くだけかと5人で3枚しか持っていかなかったので体を吹いたあとは寒くて子供たちがバスタオルを頭から被っていたので親の私たち寒くて震えていましたが、暖かいハーブティーを用意してくれ何とかしのげました。
なので、参加される方は荷物になりますが、海から出たあと羽織れるものを持参される方がよいかと思います。

スタッフの方は皆フレンドリーで英語の拙い私たちの英語も理解しようとしてくださり感謝でした。

海の中でも行っても良い場所までロープが張られ、あちこちにスタッフの方が立って下さっており目が行き届く所で遊ぶ感じになっていました。
軽食はドーナツ数種類、オレンジジュース、水、ハーブティーでしたが、子供がこのドーナツを気に入り何度もお代わりしていたくらいでした。
あと、トイレも男女別で2つずつ用意されており綺麗でした。

またハワイに行ったらまた参加したいです

Thank you very much for participating in the tour. Since the weather can change and it can feel chilly after coming out of the sea, we recommend bringing something to wear, as you mentioned, Mikan. We look forward to your participation when you visit Hawaii again. Best regards, the KBOS staff.

この度はツアーにご参加頂き誠にありがとうございました。天気が崩れたり風が吹いていると海から上がられた後に肌寒さを感じられることが多いため、Mikan様がおっしゃったように羽織れるものをご持参頂くとよろしいかと思います。またハワイへお越しの際には是非、ご参加お待ちしております。 KBOS スタッフ一同
