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

Family fun

Reviewed by: Kat

Family of six had a great time! Check in process was super easy as we filled out the waivers online. Once on the boat and at your table lunch is served. We ate while on the short boat ride to the sandbar and enjoyed live music. Every staff member on the blast was super friendly and made the experience that much more enjoyable. I highly recommend this experience as it’s fun for the entire family. You can relax in the water play volleyball, kayak, paddle board, or hangout on the platform.

Hands-down, money well spent! Staff is incredibly helpful and friendly. The boat provided lots of fun activities without micromanaging. Did some fun snorkeling and banana boat rides. Enjoyed a fantastic live band on the boat. The whole experience was extremely unique.

サンドバー シュノーケリングクルーズ　バナナボートなど選べるプラン　海に浮かぶラウンジ&船上ライブミュージック　アルコール購入可 ＜午前・午後／日本語クルー＞

Deeper than I expected. 思ったよりも深い

Reviewed by: パンプキン

The activities were plentiful, and we had plenty of time to enjoy ourselves!
On the boat, there were few people wearing masks. The boat was quite full of people.
The toilets were not the flushing type; instead, you had to put toilet paper in a trash can. Since we were on the sea, it might be unavoidable, but as a Japanese person, I was concerned about hygiene.
I thought it would be better if there were trash cans with lids.
Overall, the music was pleasant, the crew members were kind, and my elderly father also enjoyed it, so I think it was a good experience.

アクティビティが充実しており、時間もたっぷりありましたので楽しむ事ができました！
船の上ではマスクをしてる人は少数。割と船いっぱいに人がいました。
トイレは流すタイプではなく、トイレットペーパーをゴミ箱に入れるタイプ。海の上なので仕方ないのかもしれませんが、日本人としては、衛生面が気になりました。
蓋のあるゴミ箱とかならまだいいかなと思いました。
全体的には音楽も心地よく、乗務員の方も親切で高齢の父親も楽しんでいましたし、行って良かったと思います。

Reviewed by: DodgerDeb

We’re in our 80’s, and this was the PERFECT choice of cruise. Wonderful big boat, delicious lunch, and very enthusiastic and helpful crew! Also the two musicians were amazing, with lovely Hawaiian songs. As for the activities, it was easy to get up and down the stairs to the water, and the sandbar and coral were right there. Lots of other activities easily available, but we were there for the snorkeling. A lovely day! Thank you!

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＞

I want to go again! また行きたいです！

Reviewed by: Tommy

I signed up for Kailua without knowing that it can be quite windy. According to the guide, if we had been off by even a day, we wouldn't have been able to do SUP... Indeed, there was some wind on the day, but it was pleasant. I struggled a bit with being pushed back by the waves and figuring out the paddling technique, but I enjoyed the view from the island floating in the middle of the ocean and learned a lot... It was a pity that we couldn't see any sea turtles.
Life jackets seem to be essential for kayaking, but they are optional for SUP. Sunglasses would be handy, but even the guide mentioned losing them, so it's better to have a strap. They provide waterproof bags, and the guide will take photos, so you can go hands-free.

　カイルアは風が強いところと知らずに申し込みました。ガイドさんによると、もし1日でもずれていたら、SUPはできなかった、と。。。確かに、当日も風はありましたが、心地よい程度でした。波に押し返されたり漕ぎ方のコツがつかめず、ちょっと苦労しましたが、海の真ん中に浮かんだ島に行って、そこからの景色を楽しんだり、学んだり。。。ウミガメが見られなかったことが残念でした。
　ライフジャケットはカヤックでは必須のようですが、SUPは任意です。サングラスはあれば便利と思いますが、ガイドさんですら無くすそうなので、紐付きが良いです。耐水の鞄を貸してくれますが、写真はガイドさんが撮ってくれますので手ぶらでOKです。

We really enjoyed the excursion; it was well organized and very user friendly excursion. The crew was excellent; kept everything going smoothly with the lunch, snorkeling and paddle boards. The guys hosting and playing music (Jesse) were super friendly and spent a lot of time talking with and hanging out with the guest; they offered tons of helpful information on other island activities.

Smooth check-in, friendly staff. Boat seating was good, not stuffed lime sardines. Donuts, water and Tang all complimentary.

Their musicians are top notch beyond all my expectations, simply amazing folks, voice, and guitar/ukulele skills. Sandbar is truly a unique experience and we did not feel rushed nor bored while there. Seriously, just book it. It is so worth it!

This tour is a must do! The organization was plain up perfect, easy pick up and check in! On board you get greeted by the different crew members, get introduced to the boat and the band starts playing wonderful music! The crew did an amazing job making everyone feel grateful. The lifeguards at the different events (Paddle boarding, kayaking, snorkeling) all were very friendly and fun to talk to, but yet still very professional. The snorkeling is amesome with a great reef to see some fishes! The donuts were also very good!

GREAT for groups!!!

Reviewed by: Esther

Our group of 9 loved this excursion! so many things to do during this boating trip which is perfect for bigger groups. They have all of the equipments for you!

We didn't get the food package but you can bring your own food on the boat, plus it's only a couple of hours.

- Snorkeling: the sandbar was perfect for snorkeling because of the calm ocean, be careful of the jellyfishes that float in the water

- Kayaking: Also super fun!! my group had a race with eachother! would do it again!

All of the boating staff were super friendly, loved the experience and would recommended it to big groups!

Discover Oahu’s North Shore from Waikiki with The Surf Bus - Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Waimea Falls

Informative

Reviewed by: Kara

Surf bus instructor, Kevin was very informative- he gave us info to places that we must see and foods/places to eat at.
Enjoyed snorkeling wish we would of seen turtles though. Kayaking time was limited we had to go back to the bus to head back to Waikiki. We did get to visit the small towns on our way to North Shore that grows fresh vegetable and fruits, I think the two stops caused us to use up time on the water activities.

First Sandbar: Heaven's Sea はじめてのサンドバー【天国の海】

Reviewed by: ヨーク

This was my first time participating, and I signed up with transportation included. I was informed of the meeting place in advance, but I mistakenly went to the neighboring ABC Store. It would be good to confirm with someone at the hotel front desk who understands Japanese beforehand. The microbus driver was very pleasant (though he didn't speak Japanese).

At the Sandbar reception, I simply stated my name and the number of people, and I was able to pass through smoothly. On the boat, seats were arranged by nationality, which eased my anxiety. There were a total of 8 Japanese participants (4 from my group). The captain spoke a little Japanese and explained the location of the restrooms and the rules of the boat. By chance, when I opened Pokémon GO, he became my friend, which was amusing.

While heading out to sea, we enjoyed Hawaiian music along with donuts and drinks. The singing was lovely, and the donuts were large! (They had three types of coatings: chocolate, sugar, and icing.) Before arriving at the Sandbar, there was an explanation of life jackets in English, and they must be removed for certain activities. Those participating in SUP, snorkeling, kayaking, and banana boat rides will need them. There was a Japanese explanation on how to wear the snorkel. We received bread for the fish, which attracted many of them.

I did SUP and kayaking, but there were limited numbers, so we had to wait a bit until someone finished. Many of the other participants were nice and asked, "Change?"

The highlight of the trip was encountering a honu (sea turtle). Although I couldn't see it underwater while on the SUP, it surfaced to say hello.

After about two hours of fun, we enjoyed hot drinks and warmed up with beach towels we brought from the hotel, and had more donuts. On the return boat ride, we listened to nice Hawaiian music, and it ended in no time.

When we got off the boat, the captain took a photo with us! I was very satisfied with both the service and the experience, so I ended up giving a little extra tip.

Things I was glad I brought:
- Inflatable float (with pump)
- Underwater camera and smartphone case
- Beach towel
- Rash guard

Notes:
- It's easy to injure your feet on the coral.
- If you're not used to snorkeling, breathing can be a bit difficult.
- Sunburn.
- When the tide comes in, the water can reach chest height (morning plan is recommended).

今回初めての参加もあり、送迎ありで申し込み。
集合場所は事前に知らされていたのですが、私の勘違いで隣のABCストアと間違えてしまいました。なので事前にホテルフロントの日本語がわかる方等に確認をすると良いです。
マイクロバスの運転手も感じの良い方でした。（日本語は通じません。）
サンドバーの受付では名前と人数を言ったらすんなり通過。
船では国籍毎に席をまとめられたので不安が軽減しました。日本人参加は計8人（内4人が私のグループ）
船長さんは少し日本語ができる方で、トイレの場所、船のルールを教えてくれます。たまたまポケモンGOを開いていたらフレンドになってくれました笑
沖までで出る間はハワイアンミュージックを聴きながらドーナツとドリンクをいただけます。歌はとても素敵で、ドーナツは大きいです！（チョコ、砂糖、アイシングの3種のコーティング）
サンドバーに着く前に救命胴衣の説明が英語であり、一部のアクティビティでは必ず切る必要があります。SUP、シュノーケリング、カヤック、バナナボートをやる方は必要です。
シュノーケルの装着方法等は日本語の説明がありました。魚用のパンをもらえるので沢山の魚が寄ってきてくれます。
SUPとカヤックをやりましたが、数に限りがあり誰かが終わるまで少し待ちます。他の参加者がいい人が多く「change？」って聞いてくれる人も沢山いました。

そして今回一番良かったのはホヌに出会えたことです。SUP中だったので海中では見ることができませんでしたが、海面に顔を出してくれました。

2時間ほど遊んだあとはホットドリンクを頂きホテルから持ってきたバスタオルで体を温め、またドーナツを頂きました笑
帰りの船の中もいい感じのハワイアンミュージックを聴きながらで、あっという間に終了。

船を降りたら船長さんが一緒に写真を撮ってくれました！
サービスも内容も大満足だったので少し多くチップを渡しちゃいました。


持っていってよかったもの
浮き輪（ポンプ付き）
海中で取れるカメラとスマホケース
バスタオル
ラッシュガード

注意事項
サンゴで足を怪我しやすい
シュノーケルに慣れていないと呼吸が少し難しい
日焼け

I had a great time! It was supposed to be a one-hour experience, but I used up enough energy to feel satisfied in about 40 minutes! The instructor was very lively, and I was able to learn quickly. They mentioned that it's best not to bring valuables, but you can store your belongings on the shelf at the reception.
