Morning sandbar tour

Reviewed by: Samantha

My boyfriend and I are locals and haven’t been to the sandbar in years. This tour was everything we were hoping for and more! The staff was super friendly, engaging, and really went out of their way to ensure everyone had a good time. The boat is pretty spacious so there’s plenty of shade when you need a break from the sun. Plus you can’t go wrong with live music! Not sure if any other tours offer that! We will definitely be booking again :).

It's just beautiful! This is the ocean of Hawaii!! とにかくキレイ！これぞハワイの海！！

Reviewed by: MOMO

I went snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding at a sandbar that I had always wanted to visit! First, I was picked up by a van from a nearby hotel for an extra fee, and it took about 30 minutes to reach the port. (There were about 15 people on board, and since I was the last to get on, that was about the time it took.)

When we arrived at the port, there were restrooms available, so I took care of that and signed some documents while receiving explanations. There were also restrooms on the boat, with two for women and one for men. There was one Japanese woman and a man who spoke Japanese (with a Kansai dialect) on board.

Once on the boat, two men played guitar and ukulele to liven up the atmosphere! (When we returned to the boat during a break, they played music through the speakers, and I requested a song, which they played.)

I tried stand-up paddleboarding for the first time, but because it was windy, it felt more like I was being swept away than paddling! However, when the wind died down, I was able to move forward, and it was fun! I had to paddle hard to stay behind the red buoy, but I wasn't making much progress, and seeing that, the man who spoke Japanese (with a Kansai dialect) helped pull me along.

When we got close to the coral reef for snorkeling, the staff handed out what looked like French bread, and when I tore it apart in the water, a lot of fish came out to see it! There were also small, beautiful fish near the coral, but when I went to a spot near the boat that was about waist-high, I was able to see many large fish, almost a meter long! When I asked the staff, they said it was a white fish and that it would be delicious to eat.

Unfortunately, I didn't see any sea turtles, but I’ll look forward to that next time. I participated in early May, and when I got out of the water, it was a bit chilly. I regretted not bringing a change of clothes, just a bath towel, so it would have been nice to have something easy to put on, like a dress. The weather was good, and overall, it was a great tour!

いつか行ってみたいなと思っていたサンドバーでシュノーケリングとSUPをしてきました！
まず、別料金ですが近くのホテルまでバンで迎えに来てもらい港まで30分ぐらいで着きました！
(15人ぐらい乗っていたかな？1番最後に乗ったのでそれぐらいの時間でした)
港に着くと、トイレがあるので済ませておき、書類にサインなどして説明を受けました。
トイレは船の中にもあり、女性用2つ男性用1つありました。
日本人の女性が1人と日本語を喋れる男性(関西弁笑)が1人いました。
船に乗ると、男性2人がギターとウクレレで演奏して盛り上げてました！
(休憩で船に戻った時に、スピーカーで音楽をかけられていたので曲をリクエストしたらかけてくれました)
初めてSUPに挑戦しましたが、風が吹いていた為漕ぐよりも流されるに近いかんじでした笑
ただ、風が止むとしっかり進むので楽しかったです！
赤い浮きより先に行ってはいけなかったので、頑張って漕いでましたがなかなか進まず、それを見かねた日本語を喋れる男性(関西弁)が引っ張って助けてくれました笑
シュノーケリングは珊瑚礁の近くに行くと、スタッフの方がフランスパン？を渡してくれて、それを海の中でちぎると魚達が出てきてたくさん見る事が出来ました！
あと珊瑚礁の方には小さいキレイな魚がいましたが、船の近くの方の腰より高いぐらいの所に行き餌をやっていると1m弱ぐらいのとても大きい魚もたくさん見る事が出来ました！
スタッフの方に聞くと、白身の魚で食べたら美味しいそうです笑
残念ながらウミガメは見ることが出来なかったですが、また次回の楽しみにしておきます
5月上旬に参加しましたが、海からあがると肌寒く、着替えは持って来ずにバスタオルのみだったのでワンピースなど簡単に着れる着替えがあったらよかったと後悔しました。
天気も良くて全体的に良いツアーでした！

Most unbelievably fun experience ever

Reviewed by: Jim

I was very excited for this event and it actually far exceeded my expectations. The ride to the sand bar was pretty quick however I wish it was longer because they had an amaaaazing live band. Kaawa Entertainment. I could listen to them forever. Unfortunately, we reached our destination, and I could no longer listen to them. However, playing in the sandbar was soooo much fun. I thoroughly enjoyed the kayaking and paddle boarding. They also had snorkeling which I didn't enjoy as much. But my wife really loved the snorkeling. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. My wife and I both had trouble steering the paddle board initially and we were out of bounds. But the staff was very nice about it and helped us back in bounds. The sandbar is so amazing where you're in the middle of the ocean yet you are walking on sand. There were no waves so it was pretty easy to maneuver around. I could've stayed there for hours longer but the event was over. 10 stars out of 5. If you go please tip the staff and entertainment a looot. They really made the experience sooo much more fun. Highlight of our 8 day trip to Hawaii.

This was one of the best experiences I had while vacationing on Oahu. The bay is absolutely beautiful and it was so much fun to explore. However, The band and the crew are really what made the experience. The band was excellent, and the crew members were all so kind and helpful. It seemed like everyone working on the boat was genuinely happy to be there. Being in their presence helped me understand the “aloha spirit” a little bit more. Thank you so much for a beautiful day!

We were pleasantly surprised to find this last minute on our trip! We drove from Waikiki, definitely need to arrive early for parking! It was easy to find. Staff was very fun and knowledgeable, live music was great, even the lunch was simple but fresh and delicious! You can bring whatever you need on the boat and have access to it at all times. Location is beautiful. We unfortunately had a very windy day which made water choppy and chilly for me but still a very great experience! Many beautiful fish and my boyfriend was lucky enough to get close to a sea turtle! Highly recommend booking this activity! They even have a lifeguard in the water, good for all ages!

Amazing time for the morning tour

Reviewed by: David N

Group of 6 with young kids and my parents in their 70s. We arrived at 845 for a 9am departure. Signed waivers and bought stuff at the harbor- really nice store with snacks, beer, sodas. Didn’t depart till 915 so I felt a little robbed for our time at the sand bar. Which is my only complaint because we wanted to soak up every minute. All the activities advertised were there. Live band was fun. Morning Donuts were huge. Water and juice was nice. The drive there and back was smooth. Staff was very nice. My 3 year old wanted to “help” during clean up but was more in the way and the staff was very chill. They offered snacks when they saw he was sad to be leaving. We will definitely consider coming back for the longer and catered afternoon tour. Thanks.

We had a big group of us go on this tour. It was seamless from the start. Check in was super easy, the boat ride was quick and so much fun!! The band was incredible!! And the donuts were yummy. When we got to the sandbar instructions were given and we got to go explore and have fun! My daughter actually got stung by a jellyfish while snorkelling and it could have ruined our excursion but the staff were excellent. Got her help immediately and were super attentive and caring to make sure she was doing ok. They even shared their own experiences with jellyfish. She got out in the water and had more fun before we had to head back to shore. Thank you for everything!! If we come back to Oahu we would definitely do another tour!!

Late March is cold! 3月下旬は寒い！

Reviewed by: やまん

It seems that sandbars appear depending on the season or time of day. When we went in late March during the day, it was just a regular shallow sea. There was live music on the cruise, which made us feel like we were in America! The activities were also fun. It seems essential to bring a jacket or a change of clothes, as it was quite cold.

サンドバーは時期？か時間帯により砂浜が現れるようです。
私たちが行った3月下旬の昼は普通に浅い海でした。
クルーズないで生演奏がありアメリカを感じられます！
アクティビティも楽しかったです。
上着や着替えは必須に思えます。

Reviewed by: Jillian Godwin

I’m so glad we booked this excursion during our 2 day whirlwind tour of Oahu. We have a friend that’s on the island so we came over from vacationing on Maui to visit. Check in was super easy. The boat was clean and well kept and the crew was amazing. Loved the live music on the journey to and from the sandbar. Once we arrived, there was a little something for everyone. Paddleboarding, kayaking, hanging out on a floating platform or snorkeling! They even had inner-tubing and banana boat rides for an extra fee. The views of the island were stunning. Trip lasted roughly 3 hours so plenty of time to still explore the island after. Shout out to Preston and Jesse for all the aloha and good vibes. It was a super fun trip and we highly recommend to anyone visiting Oahu. It’s a really great excursion.

Everything in the title and description is not only accurate, but does not disappoint! Festive and fun the whole time... beautiful setting with the smaller islands and mountains surroundings, standing a mile off shore in the middle of the bay. Nice touch having the floating lounge, and thoughtful idea providing fish treats for snorkeling(!) The music Jessie and crew played on board, and DJ-ed during activities was awesome--so much fun dancing with the fish! We only wish could have had more than one go of the banana boat and bumper tube. Worth doing more than once on a trip here, definetly--almost tried walking in backward when we were leaving

My husband and I took our family to Hawaii for spring break. We always at the kids do something different. I thought they might be hesitant, but they tried The banana boat and the bumper boat and loved it, probably one of the most fun things they did on this trip. The only thing I would say I was disappointed about this excursion was that the description said they will provide soda or coke with lunch but we got lemonade instead. The bathroom on the boat also needs to be restocked before taking the next ride out. There were no soaps or hand sanitizer to use. Besides this, we had such a fun time.

From the moment we were picked up near the hotel and dropped off at it, this was a class 1 experience. Everyone made sure we had a great experience. We were a party of 7 ranging from 81years old to 12. We all rode the banana boats, thrilling! One of us fell off (not the 81 y/o) and was retrieved. The float ride was thrilling our 12 y/o said. The water is clear, the fish ample and snorkels provided along with advice for best viewing. The musicians were outstanding, the fellow passengers getting in the groove and dancing. Whole experience a lifetime memory.
