All Reviews for Kayaking Tours & Canoe Paddling

I participated with two friends! For someone like me who can't surf, it was my first experience riding the waves, and it was amazing! It was fun to be seen and waved at by various people, which was quite unique. I can only speak Japanese, but there were no issues as they gave instructions in simple English! I highly recommend it!

友人2人と参加しました！
サーフィンできない私にとっては波に乗るという体験が初めてだったので、最高でした！
珍しかったのか色んな人から見られたり、手を振られたりして、それも含め楽しかったです。
日本語しか話せませんが、簡単な英語で指示出ししてくれるので問題ありませんでした！
おすすめです！

This tour came highly recommended by a friend, and I can see why! Was our favourite part of our trip to Hawaii, and we hope to visit again soon.

Our group of nine people from four years old to 70 years old had the most fantastic time on Tuesday, February 25 on the PM trip. The captain and crew were so much fun and knowledgeable, and it was clear. They absolutely loved their job. The music, the location the amenities was far superior to any other snorkel adventure on Oahu. I can’t recommend them enough. There were no other boats, besides ours out there and being able to stand up on the Sandbar in the crystal blue waters made all the difference.
This was absolutely worth the money and included lunch and live music and this is the spot to reserve. Thank you thank you.

I heard about the famous activities in Hawaii, so I participated. The breathtaking scenery was waiting there. I'm glad I joined.

ハワイで有名なアクティビティと聞いたので参加しました。
感動の景色がそこには待っていました。
参加して良かったです。

Staff are very friendly. We have a lot of fun! Mahalo!

Quick but fun experience. Staff was very skilled. Don't worry if you only have 2, they just add another staff to help paddle.

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!!

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

The weather was nice, and I had a great time, but the experience was a bit short for the price. I would expect at least one hour for the amount I paid.

お天気にも恵まれ、楽しかったけど、料金の割に体験時間が短めだった。
支払った料金だと最低限1時間は行って欲しいです。

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。

Wonderful day with my Daughter playing volleyball and paddle boarding.

The crew was awesome, music awesome, had so much fun with my family tubing and playing volleyball. Highly recommend

The crew & live music and especially our little speed boat driver were all authentically kind and made our experience the best they possibly could.

It was my first time on a bumper tube. It was more thrilling and exciting than any roller coaster. I also really enjoyed chatting with the Japanese female staff member.

人生初のバンパーチューブでした。どんなジェットコースターよりもスリリングでエキサイティングでした。日本人女性のスタッフの方との談話もとても楽しかったです。

I have no surfing experience and I'm afraid of entering the sea as I'm not a good swimmer, but I was able to truly enjoy riding the waves! I had no fear at all! It was the best experience!

サーフィン経験なし、カナヅチで海に入るのが怖い私ですが、心から波乗りを楽しむことができました！
恐怖心は全くなかったです！
最高の経験ができました！

This was beyond my imagination!!!
I thought it would just be riding a boat and paddling in the sea, but I was completely wrong!
We had six people in a narrow canoe that was about the width of our bodies.
We pushed the canoe out from Waikiki Beach into the ocean ourselves.
Then, we quickly boarded the canoe and paddled out to sea.
In sync with the leader's call, we went one-two.
When the leader said "switch," we changed our paddling from the right side to the left.
On our way out, surfers were waiting for waves.
As we passed by the surfers, we greeted them with a "Yeah!" and a shaka sign.
The cute local surfers in bikinis smiled and returned our "Aloha."
Finally, when we reached the wave waiting point, we turned around and waited for a good wave.
In response to the leader's call of "paddle," we paddled at full speed to pick up the pace.
Once we caught a wave, we moved toward the beach at an incredible speed.
It felt like what surfing must be like, and it was exhilarating.
Wow, it was a more enjoyable experience than parasailing.
I definitely want to try canoe surfing the next time I go to Hawaii.
I regret not knowing about this despite having been to Hawaii multiple times—it's highly recommended!

これは想像以上でした！！！
ボートに乗ってオールを漕いで海に浮かぶだけと思っていたら大間違い！
自分の体の幅ほどの細いカヌーに縦に６人乗り。
自分たちでカヌーを押し出しワイキキビーチから海へ。
そして素早くカヌーへ乗り込み沖に向かってオールを漕ぐ。
リーダーの掛け声に合わせワンツー。
そしてリーダーが「はんたーい」と言えば右側から左側へと漕ぐ場所を変える。
沖まで行く間にはサーファー達が波待ちをしている。
サーファー達の横を通り過ぎる時はイエーいとシャカサインでご挨拶。
ビキニのかわいいロコサーファー達が笑顔でアロハと返してくれます。
そしていよいよ波待ちポイントまで来たらくるっと方向転換していい波を待つ。
リーダーの「こいでー」の掛け声に合わせて猛スピードでオールを漕ぎスピードアップ。
波に乗ったら想像以上の速さで波と共にビーチに向かって進みます。
サーフィンやったらこんな感じなんだと思う体験がここと躍らせます。
いやー。パラセーリングより楽しい体験でした。
ハワイに行ったら必ずカヌーサーフィンやろうと思いました。
ハワイは何回も行っていたのになぜ知らなかったんだろうと後悔するほど超おすすめですよ。

We had such a great day on the sandbar, with the easy swimming and clear water alongside fun extras the boat provides!

The staff members are very cheerful, and you can tell they are trying to entertain us. They understand Japanese to some extent, so I don't think there will be any issues. It can be a bit chilly during the rainy season, so a jacket is essential.

スタッフの方達がとても陽気で、こちらを楽しませようとしてくれてるのが伝わる。
日本語もある程度伝わるので、困る事もないと思います。
雨季だと少し寒いので、上着は必須です。

Absolutely wonderful experience. Must try the banana boat ride for an opportunity to see giant sea turtles. We saw like 20. So beautiful. The music was fantastic. Thank you all so much 🌺❤️🌈

My family loved this tour. The activities we fun and well managed. Kevin was a great tour guide.

We went to Hawaii and we loved it there. Now sandbar Hawaii at another level. Everything is including paddle boards, snorkeling, canoeing and you get live music and food. This was the cherry on top of our trip don’t plan on going without making this trip.

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!

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 !!!!

The tour was very good.

It was disappointing that the pickup time was delayed. If there is going to be a delay, I would like to be informed by email. The phone line was not reachable. I hope this can be improved.

We did this just 8 months ago and we brought the rest of the family with us this time. There was 8 of us and everyone participated in all of the activities and it didn't matter that the weather wasn't perfect, the aloha shared by this team is what made this experience wonderful. Thank you for making our Obana's day!

We had an excellent adventure on our morning trip. The crew was great and took care of every possible detail to ensure all the guests had a good experience.
The live music was an added bonus that we truly enjoyed! Highly recommend this as a great way to spend a few hours on the water.

Kaneohe Bay was an unforgettable day on the water! The crew was welcoming and friendly, the music set the perfect vibe, and there were plenty of fun water activities to enjoy. The spacious deck provided a comfortable spot to relax right at the Sandbar, and the snorkeling experience was incredible, with some of the best fish to see up close. Highly recommend!

Amazing place and nice people will definetly go back again

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!

The water was crystal clear and riding the stand-up pedal board was such a great experience. Every staff was very kind and welcoming. Also, kudos to the two musicians on the boat. The songs they played made the experience more enjoyable.
