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

Absolutely recommended for first timers to Kaneohe

Reviewed by: Isaac

Great trip and highly recommended. The crew and live music were great and the activities included (paddle board, kayak, snorkel, volleyball) kept me and my wife busy during our time at the sandbar. We also saw live coral and a ton of fish as well as an octopus hiding near the anchor. Definitely a tour anyone should consider if they haven't visited the sandbar before. Having the boat also allowed us to avoid the sun and stay hydrated after the activities, sometime we wouldn't have been able to do if we had kayaked over from the harbor on our own.

Teenage review

What can I say about “uncle” Kevin…he was the best! He’s filled with so much information about the island and we could sit and listen for hours. We did snorkeling and SUP. While snorkeling we saw a whale! While SUP we saw turtles…AMAZING!!!

Uncle Kevin was awesome. Friendly n funny great host/driver. Enjoyed our tour had a great time we did hike to waterfall n kayaking. Worth the money. I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to enjoy north shore with some history/information. Read in other review that it was rushed but that’s not how it was at all at least not with our driver uncle Kevin.

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

Amazing experience

Reviewed by: Look at mi

Kaneohe ocean sports at the sandbar was amazing! We started with either glazed or chocolate donuts with lemonade. When we got to the sandbar they had a variety of activities including kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, volleyball and snorkeling. We loved the snorkeling! They took us to an area of the sandbar that was still shallow enough to stand but had plenty of coral to swim around and explore. Staff was friendly and constantly kept watch over the participants, making this a safe and enjoyable environment. Overall would definitely recommend especially for families

カイルア スタンドアップパドル(SUP)ツアー 選べるガイド付きプランまたはセルフガイドプラン ビーチアイテム&昼食付き<送迎付きプランあり>

The guide and the weather were both amazing!! ガイドも天気も最高!!

Reviewed by: ycl

I chose a guided plan that seemed to match my SUP level, and it was a huge hit.

While waiting for the SUP, I leisurely toured Lanikai Beach by renting a bike.

Since I had experience with SUP in a gym pool, I practiced a bit in the river and then headed straight to the ocean! The waves and wind weren't too strong, so I paddled smoothly and reached a deserted island. There, they provided a detailed explanation and the surfing experience was fantastic.

It was a precious ocean adventure that wouldn't be possible with a large group. Additionally, the weather was great, and I realized that the impression of ocean activities really changes with the weather.

If there were a small group plan just for couples, including other locations, I would love to book it again.

SUPのレベルに合わせて対応してくれそうなガイド付きプランを選択
これが大当たりでした

SUPまでの待ち時間にレンタサイクルでラニカイビーチまでゆったり観光

SUPはジムのプールで経験しているので、川でちょっと練習してすぐ海へGo!
波や風がそれほどなかったこともあり、順調に漕いで無人島まで到着
そちらでゆっくり詳しく説明してくれて、さらに波乗り体験が素晴らしい

大人数では味わえない貴重な海遊びとなりました
それに加えて天気も良く、やはり海遊びの印象は天気でがらりと変わるなと思いました

他の場所も含めて、カップルのみの少人数プランがあったら、またお願いしたいと思います

Great afternoon excursion

Reviewed by: Romesh

Staff were excellent and I would highly recommend that lunch excursion. We upgraded for the banana boat ride for our granddaughters when checking in. We were offered to ride in the boat so that we could get videos of the girls on the ride.
Water was shallow and bit difficult to snorkel.
Parking is at a premium and I had to wait in the lot until someone pulled out.

Awesome crew!!!

Reviewed by: Mama

All I can say, this group is awesome. We had the sandbar adventure last January 4, 2023. Despite the weather didn’t cooperate, they still made sure that we have a good time. Supposedly it’s a big group, but because it’s raining that day, some parties cancelled their trip while we just want to get over it and don’t want to be back the next day. It turned out to be an awesome adventure for us. My kids still did their banana boat ride and bumpers as well as paddle boarding and snorkeling. And my daughter even had a chance to have duet with my HERO!!! (It’s a long story).
I’m so thankful with them coz my kids really enjoyed this adventure. We all had a good time.

Awesome experience - worth every penny

Reviewed by: Manamana

As everyone else, we wanted to snorkel at Hanauma Bay during our trip to Hawaii. However, the tickets sell within 1 minute and by the time you go to pay, there are no tickets left!!!
So I started looking for other snorkeling locations and discovered this package at Kaneohe sand bar. It had great reviews and they were all true.
The boat was absolutely clean, then crew was amicable and extremely courteous, and the musicians were phenomenal. Really. It was sawesome. Once you hit the sand bar, we went snorkeling, then kayaking and paddle boarding.
The most significant moment was when we were talking to Kai-ia, a very friendly employee that told us the secrets of the locals, and made our experience even richer.
We will definitely book this again in our next trip to Hawaii.
And you should do it too!!!
