My husband and I had a great time snorkeling, kayaking, and SUP. It was the first time we experienced these kind of activities. The staff were very helpful and kind. Loved the live music! I think everyone should experience this at least once in their life time. This was definitely the highlight of our one week long trip to Oahu!!
Have or bring your own breakfast. We were provided only donuts and drinks as breakfast.

We participated as a family and everyone, regardless of age or gender, had a great time. There were first-timers for kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and snorkeling, but we were able to try them with confidence. I believe this was thanks to the staff's smiles and kind support.
ファミリーでの参加でしたが老若男女を問わず楽しめました
カヤック、サップ、シュノーケルの初めての者もいましたが、安心してトライ出来ました
これはスタッフの笑顔と親切な対応のおかげだと思います
You can participate with peace of mind, so definitely give it a try!

The live performance during the trip was amazing! The ability to switch between stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, and snorkeling at my own pace and do as much as I wanted was also a great attraction.
行き帰りでしてくださった生演奏が最高でした!サップにカヤック、シュノーケリングと、全て自分の好きなタイミングで切り替えられて、好きなだけできるのも魅力です。
There is a changing area, so I think it's good to finish about 15 minutes before the activity ends!

I loved this snorkeling adventure! The live music was really entertaining, and the lunch was yummy. I really liked that the staff who did the outfitting for your snorkel gear was attentive and caring and wanted to make sure you had a good experience! I liked that there was a small tow rope strung between the main vessel and the floating "lounge" area to help guide you through the water. The variety of activities was good too, with the banana rafts and the stand-up paddleboards. There was an activity here for every level of adventurer. I kind of wished the boat was a bit smaller and more intimate but I got used to the size quickly and really ended up enjoying the experience!
Just go on this trip! It was pretty fun and amazing.

We booked the Kaneohe sandbar standard package as we had our 2 year old kid travelling with us. We got to do a bit of everything swim, snorkel, kayak and paddleboard. My son enjoyed his first kayak ride. There is a good deck once u reach the sandbar where we can relax in between activities. The crew were friendly and hospitalable. We enjoyed the music onboard. I would definitely recommend the Kaneohe sandbar experience to anyone visiting Oahu !!!!

We had a blast at the sandbar! The boat ride there was fantastic with great music and a fun crew. Once there we got to hop on the Banana Boat w/ Captain Calvin and he really made sure we were comfortable with the speed (thumbs up for faster, shaka for same speed, and thumbs down to slow it up). In addition to that helped setup a ride back to the shuttle spot since my aunt had trouble walking that far. The staff there are the best!
We got lucky and went by some sea turtles while out there on the banana boat. They swam right beneath us!
There was also live music on the boat and it was sooo good. Great songs, great musicians and singers. Wow!
We also got to kayak around and tried the stand-up paddle board for the first time. It was amazing to be out in the ocean surrounded by the beauty of the water and green mountains. It's truly magical, and I hope it stays that way forever. We should all respect it and guard it.
This should be a "must do" when traveling to Oahu!
Definitely recommend getting on the Banana Boats + Raft! It's worth it!

At the beginning of January, there are no sandbars due to the rainy season, and the water is about waist-deep. However, you can enjoy plenty of kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and snorkeling. We also tried the banana boat, which was quite intense. The live music on the boat was excellent, and all the staff spoke a bit of Japanese and engaged with us a lot, which made it very enjoyable.
1月初めは雨季のためサンドバーはなく、腰くらいまで水に浸かります。ですがカヤック、SUP、シュノーケリングをたっぷり楽しめます。バナナボートもやりましたが、結構激しめでした。ボートでは生演奏がとても良かったのとスタッフ全員片言の日本語でたくさん話しかけてくれ、とても楽しかったです。
I think it's better to wear your swimsuit since there is only one changing room on the boat. Also, when the boat returns to the harbor, everyone will disperse right away, and there won't be a place to
ボートの更衣室が一つしかないので水着を着て行った方がいいと思います。また帰りもボートがハーバーについたらそのまま解散で港に着替えるところがないので、早めにサンドバーを切り上げて着替えた方がいいです。

We took our teenage daughters on this tour. Staff were friendly and the day went smoothly overall. I was very disappointed to see that the staff chum the waters (feed the fish) in order to make this a better snorkel experience for guests. Feeding the fish makes them more aggressive, leads to overpopulation and affect their health.
While we appreciated the live music on board and music played over speakers when in the water, the loud cheesy music on the way home was just too much (Baby Shark, Gangnum Style etc. ) This may appeal to some tourists but just created a very loud experience and took away from our enjoying the natural beauty around us.
The Kaneohe Sandbar is worth visiting, just make sure you this type of experience is right for you b
