This was a great day after wedding activity. We made this an optional activity for our friends and family the day after our wedding ceremony. The live music and stories on board were even better than we expected and they knew and played our first dance song! the views and experience are really special. We had done a smaller catamaran experience before but halfway through the wedding party for that wedding were all getting seasick (partially from hangovers but the rocking didn't help). This boat is large enough you don't feel a thing and it's in the bay with calmer waters. I highly recommend!

I was able to enjoy various activities freely within the time limit. There were few Japanese customers and staff, but there were staff members who could speak Japanese, so it wasn't a problem. However, I felt that the free time was quite long.
いろんなアクティビティを時間内に自由に遊ぶことができました。日本人のお客さん、スタッフは少なかったですが、日本語を話せるスタッフがいるので問題なかったです。ただ自由時間が結構長かったかなという印象です。

It was great to travel by boat while listening to live music; it really added to the experience. Although we didn't go to a sandbar, the sea was beautiful, and we saw plenty of fish swimming around. Even as a beginner, I was taught carefully, and there were no dangerous spots at all. I could feel that all the staff were eager to make it enjoyable for everyone. However, I was disappointed that while the Japanese staff were very friendly to foreigners, they didn't seem as welcoming to Japanese guests.
生演奏を聴きながらの、船での移動盛り上がってとても良かったです。
サンドバーにはならなかったのですが、海も綺麗で魚が泳ぐところを沢山見れました。初心者でも丁寧に教えて頂き、危ないところは、ひとつもなかったです。スタッフのみんなも楽しませようという姿勢が感じられました。ただ、日本人のスタッフが外人には凄く良いのに対して、日本人にはあまり感じよくなかったので、がっかりしました。

The plan included lunch. The people around us at our assigned seats were already eating or had finished their meals, so we thought we should go get our food ourselves. When I asked if I could take this (something like a sandwich), a Japanese woman came over and said not to take it because the staff would bring it. However, no one brought us lunch no matter how long we waited. The staff had said they would bring it, but they didn't. There was a lack of responsibility. It wasn't a cheap tour, and since it was stated that lunch was included, we went without eating... I even went to get it because that person said they would bring it. The way she said it was quite harsh. What should have been a fun activity turned into an unpleasant memory. I swam on an empty stomach, felt unwell, and couldn't enjoy myself. It's really disappointing because the other crew members were very kind and friendly.
プランには昼食つきとありました。席を振り分けられ座った場所の周囲の人たちはすでに食事中か食事が済んでいたので自分たちで食事をとりに行くのだと思い取りに行ってコレ(サンドイッチのようなもの)を持って行っていいか聞くと日本人?の女の人がやってきてスタッフが持ってくるから取るなと言いました。しかし待っても待っても誰も昼食を私達に運んではくれませんでした。
スタッフが持ってくると日本人?の女のスタッフは言ったのに持ってこなかった。 責任感が無さすぎる。安いツアーでもないのに昼食があるって書いてたからわざわざ食べずに行ったのに...それもわざわざ取りに行ったのに持ってくるとあの人は言いました。言い方もかなりキツめでした。楽しいはずのアクティビティーが嫌な思い出になった。 空腹のまま泳いで気分も悪いし楽しめませんでした。他のクルーの人達はとても親切で優しかったから本当に残念です。
I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience regarding lunch this time. Unfortunately, we were unable to provide lunch, and I regret that this has affected what should have been an enjoyable experience for you.
In response to this incident, we held an urgent meeting with the crew to prevent a recurrence. We will ensure that such issues do not happen again in the future. While I cannot guarantee that this will improve your mood, we have decided to refund the cost of lunch in hopes of making amends.
Once again, I apologize sincerely. I am truly sorry.

This was my third time at Sandbar, and I was finally able to participate on a day that truly felt like "this is Sandbar!"
As soon as my Hawaii trip dates were set, I checked the tide levels and made a reservation for a day that coincided with the low tide, which only happens a few times a year.
Thank you to the friendly staff. I was able to enjoy skin diving, stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, and other marine sports in excellent conditions with the blue sea and white sandy shallows.
If you go to Hawaii, you absolutely must experience this amazing adventure!

The sandbar activity was a very enjoyable and unique experience. The boat ride over is short (15 min.) with great music and a decent sandwich lunch. We did the SUP and snorkeled. Lots of fish to see. Plenty of time to do all the activities. The tide was high, about 4 feet but still so much fun. Made it better for snorkeling. Staff was so friendly and helpful.

You will be picked up near the hotel and take a drive of about 30 minutes to the port.
Upon arrival at the port, you will transfer to a large boat that can accommodate around 60 people and head towards the sandbar. On the boat, donuts and drinks will be served, and there will be live Hawaiian music.
Once you arrive at the sandbar, you can do whatever you like, such as stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), kayaking, or snorkeling. Please note that there are limited SUP and kayak options, so you may have to wait your turn.
Afterward, you will return to the port by boat, then take a bus back to the location where you were picked up.
Since the bus seats are fabric, it's a good idea to bring a towel to sit on.
ホテルの近くでピックアップしてもらい、車で30分程度ぼドライブして港にむかいます。
港に到着したら60人位が乗り込める大型の船に移動して、船でサンドバーにむかいます。船の上ではドーナツや飲み物が配られ、ハワイアンミュージックの生演奏もあります。
サンドバーに到着したらSUPやカヤック、シュノーケリングなど各自やりたいことをやります。SUPとカヤックは数に限りがあるので、順番待ちになることもあります。
終わったらまた船で港に戻り、バスに乗り込みピックアップされた場所で降ろされます。
バスのシートは布製なので、座るところに敷く用のタオルを持っていくと良いです。
Aloha sss,

I went alone.
It was my first time riding the waves, and I was very moved.
When a good wave came, I was pushed from behind, and it felt like I was standing up while riding the wave. Even someone as clumsy as me was able to stand. I fell many times, but it was really fun.
Some people might not try surfing.
I had a great time being taught by very cheerful and friendly people.
一人で行きました。
はじめて波に乗って、とても感動しました。
いい波が来ると後ろから押してもらって、波に乗ってる途中で立つという感じです。どんくさい私でも立てました。何回も落ちたけど、とても楽しかったです。

The crew was wonderful! The musicians were amazing! If you don't have time to try different water activities on your trip, this is a great way to hit a lot of them. We were able to SUP, kayak, swim, lounge, and snorkel (the sandbar reef actually had quite a few different types of fish to see and since it is so shallow, it is a lot easier to snorkel here). They provide life jackets for all the activities and snorkel gear. We also did the banana boat and bumper activities and it was quite the adrenaline rush. For banana boat, they grouped us with two other pairs of people so we filled up the banana boat (holds 6 people), which made it more stable but half of us still fell off. It was very fun and quite an experience. There is definitely enough time to try everything. Their boat is pretty big so very stable and not likely to induce seasickness. They have two women's bathrooms, one men's, and one changing room. They provide donuts and water/juice but you can also bring your own food/drinks. There are plenty of tables and shelf storage underneath so your items aren't on the floor and won't get wet. Overall, a great time!

It was a very nice tour. It takes us out to the Kaneohe sandbar while providing live music entertainment. After arrival, we could choose to do a variety of activities including snorkelling, paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming or just relaxing at a floating lounge. You will be able to see coral reef and fish there. Staff is there to help and supervise. You can leave your belongings at the boat. The good thing about being in the middle of water is that your belongings are safe. I recommend wearing some kind of footwear on the sandbar because the sand there could be a little rough. Overall a very nice way to spend a morning or afternoon. Time flew by fast.

A couple in their 50s tried stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) for the first time. The instructor was kind and explained everything clearly, so we were able to move as we wished. My wife stood up right away. Although it seemed the wind was strong and the waves were high, we didn't mind since it was our first time and we didn't know any better. We had a great time. Towards the end, we were allowed to play around like we were surfing, which was really fun.

Secret Island is a very special place for our family. my daughter got a wedding in Moli'i garden and secret island during Covid.
we have a wonderful memory of her wedding with our closed family and friends only under 20 people.
it was a magical experience,so we had been always talking how we can go back to the island.
and we finally planned a family trip to Hawaii this spring, and we have been searched many different websites which offers a tour to the secret island.
this website did not have many reviews compared to other major travel websites, but their prices were the best so we decided to give it a shot.
and the decision was the best!
the reservation process, confirmation, instructions and everything was GREAT!
it was a little bit of cold and rainy day so we were the only group going to the island that day. we basically rented the entire island to ourselves.
we highly recommend this webstie for Kualoa ranch tour!

We enjoyed our half-day experience. As tourists, the Secret Island experience was nice because it satisfied my desire to do kayaking and paddle boarding. The beach was nice for young kids because they had supplies to build sand-castles, however that is the most of what my young children really enjoyed. In retrospect, most of the activities there would be best for older children and teenagers to really enjoy. For families with younger children, it may be best to buy some sand toys and head to a local beach.

From the moment we boarded the boat, we were provided a delicious lunch and greeted with the friendly staff and hilarious emcee.
The live Hawaiian music created an ambience of enchantment. The live performances were sensational, perfectly capturing the spirit of the islands.
The variety of water activities was truly impressive. Snorkeling provided us a stunning glimpse into the vibrant marine life, while the sandbar volleyball turned out to be an unexpected delight. I was personally taken with standup paddle boarding (SUP) and kayaking - both were exhilarating experiences that offered different perspectives of the water.
Not to forget the floating lounge platform! It was the perfect place to unwind, enjoy our drinks and snacks, and simply soak in the beauty of the surroundings. Everything was wonderfully organized and the boat was equipped with all the necessary amenities.
In short, this activity was more than just a day out on the water; it was a vibrant blend of culture, excitement, and relaxation. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable Hawaiian adventure. Five stars are simply not enough!
