All Reviews for Stand Up Paddle Rental & Lessons

The Hawaiian music live performance on the cruise ship was delightful. There were various activities in the beautiful emerald sea, so I never got bored. We were also blessed with great weather, making it the best experience.

Additionally, I am grateful for the wonderful hospitality from all the staff.

行き帰りのクルーズ船の中もHawaiianミュージックLIVEが心地良かったです。
キレイなエメラルドの海でのアクティビティも色々あって、飽きる事もありませんでした。
良いお天気にも恵まれて、最高の体験でした。

また、スタッフの方皆さんのホスピタリティも素晴らしく感謝をしています。

The sea was incredibly beautiful.
I had a great time with stand-up paddleboarding, canoeing, and snorkeling.
I usually get motion sickness, but I didn't feel sick at all.
Be careful not to bump your knees on the coral.

すごく綺麗な海でした。
サップとカヌーとシュノーケリングができてすごく楽しかったです。
私はすごく乗り物酔いしますが、全く酔いません。
サンゴに膝をぶつけがちなので、気をつけてください。

The explanations were thorough, making it easy for beginners to feel comfortable during the experience! They also shared great recommendations, and I'm glad I booked the tour!

初心者でも安心して体験できるように丁寧に説明いただきました！
おすすめポイントも教えていただき、ツアーを予約してよかったです！

I visited Sandbar six years ago, and I thought it was a tour where you could take pictures on the sand that appears at low tide. The staff were very accommodating, so if I had known that the sand wouldn't appear during the tour, I think I would have been satisfied.

6年前にサンドバーに行ったことがあるんですが、干潮のタイミングで砂地があらわれてそこで写真が撮れたので、そういうツアーだと思ってました。
スタッフさん達は対応もいいので、砂地があらわれることがないことを知ったうえでツアーに参加していたら満足だったんだと思います。

This is the second time we have taken this adventure, and we will definitely be back. You feel like it’s just you in this beautiful clear blue ocean surrounded by Hawaiian Mountains. Musicians on the boat ride were fabulous! Loved the whole experience!

Even with the chilly air that day, we had an absolute last. The crew was kind, attentive, lively and generally playful. The live band was amazing. We had a few hula dancers make an impromptu performance. It felt like a warm nd peaceful family get together. Highly recommend.

I picked a full day with Lunch, the lunch was good, the snorkel on secret island was amazing lots of fishes to see, some good activities too. Though I would recommend half a day if you are not in a large as many activities require a lot of people to make it fun.

Had a great day out on the sandbar with great music super helpful crew good food, beautiful warm water amazing scenes lots to do super recommended

I loved my experience everyone was knowledgeable, provided donuts for breakfast, and the activities provided were amazing. Worth the money!

I signed up for this tour because I wanted to see the sandbar. There were Japanese staff members who provided explanations in Japanese very kindly. Additionally, there were foreign staff members who could speak Japanese, which made it very comfortable. The blue of the sea, the blue of the sky, and the colors of the coral reef were indescribably beautiful. I participated with my colleagues from work, and everyone enjoyed experiences like snorkeling, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding. We had a great time and felt like kids again. One regret I have is that the sandy beach didn't appear... I hope the sea remains beautiful forever.

サンドバーを見たくってこのツアーに申し込みました。日本人のスタッフさんもいて、日本語で説明も丁寧にしてくれました。また、外人のスタッフさんも日本語話せる人もいてとても快適でした。海の青さ、空の青さ、そしてサンゴ礁の海の色、何とも言えない美しさでした。会社の同僚と参加したのですが皆それぞれシュノーケリング、カヤック、SUPの体験をし、楽しく過ごせました。子供に戻ったようにはしゃぎまくっていました。一つ心残りは砂浜が出なかった事です・・。
いつまでも綺麗な海であります様に。

This was our 4th trip to Oahu, I’ve been wanting to do the Kaneohe Sandbar for a while. The boat ride to the sand bar was great, we enjoyed the live music. We did the morning one, it was a tad bit windy and overcast so it was a little cold for our little ones to enjoy but we still got in the water and enjoyed the views, would definitely love to do again!

I was treated very well by someone from Saipan! Their Japanese was excellent, and our conversation was interesting! They also taught me about stand-up paddleboarding, so I had no worries!

サイパン出身の方にとてもよくしていただきました！日本語がお上手でお話も面白かったです！サップ等も教えていただけるので心配いりませんでした！

I liked the tour but I wouldn’t recommend it, except perhaps for small kids. The kayaking and paddle board are limited to a pretty small area, so it’s kind of boring. And the snorkeling was pretty bad during low tide because you basically can’t go anywhere.

My husband and I absolutely loved this experience. We got to kayak, snorkel and swim in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The crew was extremely sweet, the live music was phenomenal and the views were breathtaking. We would go back 100%.

Even though it's called a sandbar, the sandy beach and sea in the photo are only available during limited times, so be cautious if you plan to visit. Also, the timing was bad, and it was cold. Activities also require waiting in line, so you can't do them at your own pace.

サンドバーといっても写真のイメージの砂浜と海があるのは限られた時期で行く場合は要注意です。あとは時期が悪くて寒かったです。
アクティビティも順番待ちで自分のタイミングで出来るわけではない。

I chose the banana boat and bumper tube plan! The bumper tube was especially fun! I'm glad I got to see sea turtles too!

バナナボートとバンパーチューブのプランにしました！バンパーチューブが特に楽しかった！海亀にも会えてよかった！

The whole team made us comfortable especially with the kids! Kind and friendly!!! Thank you for making our trip special and memorable. The boys want to take you up on a job 🤗

This is my third time at Sandbar!
My wife and daughter were there for the first time.
The staff were friendly and communicated in Japanese, making it a very enjoyable experience.

Meeting up on-site was smooth, and the guidance was seamless.

サンドバーは、私は３回目！
妻と娘は初めてでした。
スタッフの皆さんが和気あいあいと日本語を使ってくれて案内してくれるので、とても楽しく過ごすことができました。

また現地集合で、参加させてもらい案内もスムーズでした。

I requested a pick-up service, and both the departure and return were almost on time.

I felt reassured because there was a proper explanation from a Japanese person before boarding the boat.

I enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, and snorkeling. The water level was about waist-high and felt cold at first, but I got used to it quickly. The live music on the boat was wonderful.

送迎をお願いしましたが行き帰りほぼ時間通りでした。
日本人の方から船に乗る前にきちんと説明があったので安心できました。

SUP、カヤック、シュノーケリングと堪能しました。
水位は腰くらいあって最初は冷たく感じましたがすぐ慣れました。
船での生演奏が素晴らしかったです。

A lounge floating on the sea, kayaking experiences, snorkeling, and enjoying marine sports! The scenery was amazing, and there was a nearby U.S. military base with fighter jets and helicopters flying around. As an airplane enthusiast, I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Hawaii. Although the sandbar didn't appear due to the season, I had plenty of fun.

海に浮かぶラウンジ、カヤック体験、シュノーケリング🤿とマリンスポーツを堪能❗️
景色も最高で、近くに米軍基地があり、
戦闘機やヘリコプターも旋回しており、飛行機好きな私としてはハワイを大満喫出来ました。季節的にサンドバーは出現しませんでしたが、十分楽しめました。

This is an amazing experience. Entertainment of hosts (singers) was perfect. They have wit and the singing talent to go with it. I highlyrecommend going with them.

The sandbar is amazing! Sea turtles, fish around the corals, paddle boarding.
I can't believe wife and I did the banana boat ride at our ages. It is worth it though! I tell people I can't believe I did it but glad I did.

Will take this tour again when given the chance!

Amazing experience Great service and excellent staff!

Tour was amazing! The crews were awesome. The band, outstanding!

Donuts were great, crew was incredibly friendly and helpful in learning new activities like paddle boarding. We did the optional tubing ride and it was fun (even if it was too much for us and we had to call uncle 😆). Overall great experience!

In November 2023, I signed up for an optional tour to Sandbar with my daughter, but I had to cancel due to health issues. This time, I got my health back in order and participated in the tour. We had a great time with the live music on the boat, and I was excited to try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) for the first time. I'm really glad I joined!

　2023年11月に、娘とサンドバーのオプショナルツアーを申し込んだのですが、体調を崩してキャンセルしました。
　今回は、体調を整えてツアーに参加しました。
　船上ライブで盛り上がり、初めてのSUPで気分が盛り上がりました。
参加して良かったです。

Staff were super friendly, fun and down to earth.

The boat and sandbar experience was 10/10! I highly highly recommend it to anyone thinking of doing it. We also paid an extra $20 USD per person for a banana boat ride and that was probably the highlight of the experience. It was SO FUN! The staff was incredible and so nice and fun. There was standup paddle boarding, kayaking, floating lounge chairs, snorkeling, live music, and drinks available for purchase (juice and water were free though). Such a fun time and the highlight of my trip.

I received detailed explanations and rules in Japanese, and even though most of the participants were from Europe and America, I felt comfortable joining in! The water temperature was still a bit chilly, but the sunny weather made it pleasant to spend time there! The crew also spoke to us in Japanese, which was heartwarming! I plan to visit again right in the middle of the season next time!

日本語で細かい説明やルールなどお話ししていただき、他の参加者はほとんど欧米の方でしたがその中でも安心して参加できました！
まだ水温が若干冷たかったのですが、晴れてくれたので気持ちよく過ごせました！クルーの方も日本語で話しかけてくれてほんわかしました！次回はシーズン真っ只中に訪れたいと思います！

What a great way to spend an afternoon! The company offers plenty of activities for you to stay active if you want out on the sandbar, or you can just chill out and lounge in the sandbar living room. The lunch was awesome! The staff was very friendly and professional. The 2 man band had amazing talent! I truly enjoyed the experience. It was very relaxing and fun. Thank you for the memories and joy!

I’m so happy I booked this excursion. The staff were super friendly and interactive with everyone. The music was great! And the location was just breathtaking. The water was warm, crystal clear and safe to swim and do other activities.
This excursion was so worth it!!!
