All Reviews for Stand Up Paddle Rental & Lessons

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。

The incredible hospitality of the crew made our whole experience that much better. Great snorkeling for beginners. Donuts were yummy. Awesome music. Sandbar is a must do activity! This crew will go out of their way to make sure you have a good and safe experience!

This excursion was unmatched! The water was pristine, the crew had the best vibes, they all want you to have a good time & we did! Unforgettable!

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!

サンドバー3回目にして、まさしく
これがサンドバー！という日に参加できました

ハワイ旅行の日程が決まった時点で潮位を調べてそれが年に数回という干潮にあたる日に合わせて予約をさせていただきました。

気さくなスタッフの方々ありがとうございました。
青い海、浅瀬の白い砂という好コンディションの中でスキンダイビング、SAP、カヤック…マリンスポーツを堪能できました。

ハワイに行った際は是非是非この感動を体験しない手はありません！

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.

This experience is definitely worth it. The staff and crew are so lovely, fun, and energetic, they brighten up your day as you head out to the sandbar. Their experience and overall "good vibes" makes the trip so enjoyable as you get to experience an amazing time out in the sandbar with music, activities, food, and community. Do it!

Wonderful time with the family and the staffs and both singers were main reason why we would love to visit Hawaii again. Aloha and until next time.

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。

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。
人によっては、波乗りまではしないのかもしれません。
とても陽気でフレンドリーな方に教えてもらえて、楽しかったです。

All the activities were so fun. The LIVE music was GREAT! Had soooo much fun. Definitely recommended!!!!!! Staff was super friendly.

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!

Really fun experience. Suitable for couples or family or friends. We had lots of fun kayaking and snorkeling

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.

Loved every moment! All of the crew was so helpful and kind, from the time we got on board and even with the water events (kayaking and paddle boarding). The musicians were top notch, such beautiful voices. Highly recommend and will definitely do this again.

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.

５０歳の夫婦初めてのSUP。
インストラクターが親切に分かりやすく教えてくれたので、思うように進むことが出来るようになりました。
妻はスグに立ち上がってました。
風が強く波が高かったらしく、少し難しい環境だったらしいのですが、はじめましてなので分からないから関係無し。とても楽しむことができました。
最後の方はサーフィンの要領で遊ばせてくれて楽しかったですよ。

They were very friendly people, and I had a great time!
The snorkeling in the shallow waters was filled with fish, and I was completely absorbed.
I also received instruction on how to ride the kayak and SUP.

The boat rides back and forth were very nice while listening to music.

とても気さくな人たちで楽しく過ごせました！
浅瀬でのシュノーケリングは魚がいっぱいて、夢中でした。
カヤックやSUPも乗り方から教えていただきました。

船内での行き帰りも歌を聞きながらでとても良かった

The crew was amazing and so helpful! KBOS seems to have an area all to themselves, so it felt like we were on a private island. There are opportunities to do a lot of activities with plenty of time so you don’t ever feel rushed.

We had a great time on this trip!
It was very relaxing and fun! The stuff took care of us and made sure we were safe. We snorkeled, saw some fish, we did kayaking and paddle boarding and relaxed on a floating island with chairs. Lunch was also great! Music was so beautiful and fun! And the stuff took awesome photos of us! Thank you!
Would do this again!

Such an awesome experience with great guides and entertainment.

Even as someone approaching their sixties, I was able to enjoy the bumper tubes and banana boat. The sea was beautiful, and I had a great experience.

還暦近くの私でも、バンパーチューブ、バナナボートは楽しめました。
海もきれいで、いい体験をさせていただきました。

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!

Unbelievable view of the island from where we were. Amazing experience to say the least.

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!

The staff was awesome! We had a wonderful time at the sandbar. Highly recommended! I would suggest booking the morning excursion. Worked for us wonderfully! The bad was so fun. Played all the songs requested.

I had a blast was saying goodbye to a friend and couldn't have asked for better service or a view. Everyone was nice and respectful and the games where a bonus!

We had a great time other than the water being freezing we had a blast! Absolutely amazing service and all around a great time and company. Professional and on time!

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 :).

Our family of 5 had a great experience and the crew was so much fun. Captain was awesome. Just wish the sun would have peeked out. Will definitely visit again.

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！
