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

Sandbar

Reviewed by: Carrie Blakemore

We had a great transportation to and from the boat. The driver was friendly, pleasant, and knowledgeable about the area.I loved being able to snorkel, swim and just be on the platform. There was musical entertainment on the boat, which was nice on the way to and on the way back from the sandbar. The crew made everything fun and made sure that everyone was safe. I would do it again, for sure, and maybe next time I will have the courage to try the stand up paddle board.

カハナ渓谷 カヤックレンタル 手付かずの自然が残るカハナ渓谷で、自由にカヤックを楽しもう!<2時間30分>by アクティブ・オアフ

It was different from what I expected. *Note for reservations.* 思っていた内容と違った。※予約時注意

Reviewed by: TP

I mistakenly thought this was a plan to kayak in Kahana Valley. The actual content only allows for renting kayaks in Kailua. We had to transport the kayaks to Kahana Valley ourselves, and since we didn't have a rental car that could accommodate them, we gave up on kayaking in Kahana Valley. The staff was very kind, and instead of kayaking, we rented E-bikes and explored the Kaka'ako area. While we should have looked more closely at the reservation details, I think many people might misunderstand based on the title and illustrations. It would be appreciated if there was a note stating that only kayak rentals are available.

カハナ渓谷でカヤックできるプランだと勘違いしました。内容はカイルアでカヤックを借りれるのみ。カハナ渓谷までは自分達でカヤックを運搬しなければならず、積み込みのできるレンタカーもしていなかった為、カハナ渓谷でのカヤックは断念しました。スタッフはとても優しく、カヤックを断念した代わりに、Eバイクをレンタルさせてもらい、カカアコ周辺を散策しました。予約内容を詳しく見ていなかった私達にも落ち度がありますが、タイトルやイラストを見ると、勘違いしてしまう人も多いと思います。カヤックがレンタルできるのみと注意書きをしてもらえれば有難いです。

Amazing experience!

Reviewed by: Sarah

We were going back and forth on which boat to go with and we were so happy we chose this one! The staff were amazing. So friendly and informative and helpful. The live music was amazing and made experience that much more special! They had refreshments and donuts complementary. There we was snorkelling, kayaking, paddle boards and a dock to chill at when you arrived. When we were there we looked around at the other boats and they honestly had nothing going on lol. Would definitely recommend going with them for this experience :)

The water depth was deeper than my waist, but I had a great time. 水深は腰より深かったが、楽しめました

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

The boat was large, so it didn't sway at all, and we enjoyed drinks, donuts, and live music on board. I had signed up for a tour that was supposed to coincide with low tide, but we couldn't see the sandy beach, and the water depth was about to the chest of an adult. However, with this depth, it's safe even if you fall while snorkeling, and it might be just right for enjoying snorkeling. During snorkeling, you get to feed the fish, so they come right up to you, which is fun!

大きめの船なので全く揺れず、船上で飲み物やドーナツ、生演奏が楽しめました。干潮の時刻に合わせたツアーを申し込んだはずなのですが、砂浜は見えず、大人のみぞおち位の水深がありました。
でも、このくらいの水深だとSAPで転んでも安全だし、シュノーケリングも楽しめて丁度良いかもしれません。シュノーケリングでは餌をもらえるので魚が向こうから寄って来てくれて楽しい!

It was fun! 楽しかった!

Reviewed by: ちぃ

The weather was nice and I had a great time! However, the morning pickup location was the same as other tour companies, so there were a huge number of people gathered, and with so many shuttle vehicles, it was difficult to find my ride. Also, unfortunately, we couldn't see the sandbar due to the timing (but that's just a natural phenomenon, so it can't be helped). I was surprised when they said we would ride the bumper tube and banana boat one after the other right after we arrived (before going into the sea), but the bumper tube was thrilling and fun! The staff were all kind, polite, and enjoyable, which made me feel at ease.

天気も良くとっても楽しかったです!
ただ、朝のピックアップ場所が他のツアー会社と同じなので、ものすごい人数が集まり、送迎車もたくさんなのでどれが自分のお迎えの車なのか探すのに苦労しました。
それと、残念ながらサンドバーは時間帯が悪く見られませんでした。(こればっかりは自然現象なので仕方ない)
ついて早々に(海に入る前に)バンパーチューブとバナナボートに立て続けに乗ると言われびっくりしましたが、バンパーチューブはスリル満点で楽しかったです!
スタッフさんもみんな優しく丁寧で楽しい方たちなので安心でした。

Reviewed by: MIN99

The pickup location and the bus landmark that was communicated in advance were easy to understand. There were staff members who could speak Japanese, so I didn't have any trouble. I enjoyed multiple activities, and there was a live performance on the boat, which was a lot of fun.

Since it was mentioned in the notes that the boat was cashless, I only brought my card and couldn't pay a tip. All the staff were friendly and provided great service with smiles, so I regret not bringing a little cash.

The temperature setting on the bus was quite low, so it was really cold on the way back. I should have brought an extra bath towel or a light jacket as a precaution.

ピックアップしてくれる場所も、あらかじめ連絡のあったバスの目印も分かりやすかったです。
日本語対応可能なスタッフがいたので、困ることなかったです。
複数アクティビティも楽しめるし、船上では生LIVEもあり、とても楽しかったです。
注意事項に船上はキャッシュレスとあったので、カードのみ持参したため、チップを払うことができませんでした。スタッフ皆さん、笑顔で気持ちのいい対応をしてくれていたので、少しキャッシュを持参すれば良かったと後悔してます。
バスの温度設定がかなり低いため、帰りは本当に寒かったので、バスタオルを1枚余計に持参するとか、薄手の上着を持参する等、対策すればよかったです。

There was no land in sight, and there were no fish either... 陸地は全く出現せず、魚もいませんでした…

Reviewed by: Mi_Pa

First of all, the meeting place was hard to find! I think that should be improved.
The tour was in August, and while it was fine until we boarded the boat, upon arrival, there was no land in sight, and it was quite deep. My daughter and grandparents couldn't touch the bottom at all and were nearly drowning.
Also, there was hardly any snorkeling. There were no fish at all. The sea was deep and there were waves, so it was dangerous for shorter individuals (laughs).
Kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding were somewhat enjoyable, but those two activities alone were too much time to fill.
Regarding the day I went, it was quite a disappointing tour.

まず第一に集合場所が分かりづらい!!そこは改善するべきだと思います。
8月のツアーでしたが、船に乗るまでは良かったのですが、現地に到着しても陸地は現れず、かなり深いです。娘や祖父母は全く足がつかず、溺れかけていました。
そしてシュノーケリングも無いようなものです。魚は全くいないです。海も深く波もあるので、小柄な方は命がけでした(笑)
カヤックやサップはそれなりに楽しかったですが、その2つだけで時間を潰すには時間が長すぎます。
私の行った日に関しては、かなりハズレツアーでしたね。

Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We are truly sorry to hear that the tide was high and that you were unable to see the fish on the day of your tour, which did not meet your expectations. Tides change daily, so we hope you can aim for a day with lower water levels next time and enjoy a different sandbar experience. Thank you for your valuable feedback. From all of us at KBOS.

The staff were kind and warm. スタッフのみなさんが親切であたたかかったです

Reviewed by: ときこ

I participated with my fifth-grade son.

I felt reassured because the guide was a Japanese woman. There was also a local staff member who spoke a little Japanese, and they were very kind. You could easily recognize them by their tall stature and distinctive hat.

On the way from the port to the sandbar, we enjoyed drinks and donuts while listening to the relaxed singing of a musician.

Once we arrived at the sandbar, we could do stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, and snorkeling, and the local staff kindly taught us how to use the equipment. I could speak a little English, but even those who couldn't speak it were treated with care through gestures, so there was no need to worry. I think you can also do banana boat rides if you make a reservation, but since my child is small, we didn't do that this time.

On the way to the sandbar, a young boy in elementary school became unwell and collapsed, but the Japanese female staff responded appropriately, and there was also a nurse among the guests, so the boy recovered without any issues.

The staff's response and the activities were excellent!

As advice for those who will participate, I think it's a good idea to prepare a change of clothes, including underwear, because it can get quite cold after coming out of the sea while still in wet swimsuits.

There was a hot water tank (for drinking water) near where we could get drinks, and I was grateful to have warm water to drink since I was feeling cold. (*^_^*)

小学5年生の息子と母で参加しました。

案内役の方が日本人女性だったので不安はありませんでした。現地のスタッフの中に片言で日本語を話してくれる方が居てとても親切でした。背が高く特徴のある帽子を被って居たのですぐに分かると思います。

港からサンドバーまではドリンクとドーナツのサービス、そしてミュージシャンのゆったりした歌声を聴きながらの移動でした。

サンドバーにつくとサップ、カヤック、シュノーケリングが出来るのですが、現地スタッフがとても親切に乗り方などを教えてくれました。私は少し英語を話せましたが、話せない方でも身振り手振りで丁寧に接して下さるので心配ありません。バナナボートも予約を入れれば出来るのだと思いますが、子供が小さいのもあり我が家は今回入れませんでした。

サンドバーに向かう時、小学生の男の子が具合が悪くなり倒れてしまいましたが、その時も日本人女性のスタッフが適切に対応されていて、お客さんの中に看護師さんも居たので男の子も回復し事なきを得ました。

スタッフの対応とアクティビティの内容についてははなまるでしたよ!

これから参加する方へのアドバイスとしては海から上がった後、濡れた水着のままだと結構冷えるので、下着を含めた着替えを1セット用意しておくと安心だと思います。

ドリンクをもらえるところの側にお湯が出るタンク(飲料水用)があって、私は体が冷えてしんどかったので温かいお湯が飲めたのは有り難かったです(*^_^*)

Reviewed by: mic

I really wanted to try it, even though it was expensive, so I paid for three people and went for the experience. On the day, there was no wind and the waves were calm, but we managed to ride the waves three times. It was my first time going out to the waters off Waikiki, and it was truly beautiful! Since we didn't have enough people, three guys joined us on the canoe. They were part of the beach service staff, and it seemed like it was their first time on a canoe as well, but we all had fun following the instructor's guidance together. When we went out to sea, the instructor suddenly signaled us to jump into the water, which was a lot of fun! I'm really glad I participated!

どうしても、やってみたくて高く付くけど3人分支払い体験して来ました。当日は、風も無く波は穏やかでしたが3回波に乗れました。初めてワイキキの沖の方まで行きましたが本当に綺麗!人数も足りないので3人のGUY達も一緒に乗ってくれました。ビーチサービスのバイト君たちで彼らもカヌーは初めてだったようで師匠の指示に一緒に従いながら楽しめました。沖に行くと師匠の合図でいきなり海へ飛び込んだりと楽しませてくれました♪参加して良かったです!

Sandbar in unfortunate weather. 生憎の天気の中のサンドバー

Reviewed by: いと

After an hour's ride on the shuttle bus from Waikiki, we boarded a boat from a quiet harbor, away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki. However, perhaps due to the recent typhoon, the weather was unfortunately rainy, and the child who joined us immediately wanted to go home as soon as we got off the bus and were hit by a sudden downpour.

Despite the weather, as we received donuts and approached the sandbar with the cheerful staff's live performance, the weather improved a bit. By the time we enjoyed two hours of snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, and sea kayaking, the child was having a great time, creating fun memories. The sea was a bit high tide, which was a mix-up with the tides, but it was still great to enjoy the water activities. I would like to try again during low tide when the weather is nice.

Lastly, I left something on the return shuttle bus, but thanks to the kind response from the local company and the driver, it was returned to me the same day. I'm grateful.

It was a different experience compared to other seas.

ワイキキから1時間送迎バスにゆられ、ワイキキの喧騒から離れ静かな港まちから船に乗りました。
しかし、先日接近した台風の影響なのか、生憎の雨まじりのお天気、一緒に参加した子供は、バスを降りた途端のスコール的な雨で、もう帰りたいと言い出す始末。
そんな中の船出でしたが、ドーナツをもらって、陽気なスタッフの生演奏とともにサンドバーに近づいていくと、お天気も少し回復。
シュノーケリングにSUPにシーカヤックに2時間満喫する頃には、子供もおおはしゃぎの楽しい思い出になりました。
海は満潮と干潮を間違えて、やや満潮気味でしたが、それはそれで海のアクティビティを満喫できてよかったです。次はお天気のよい干潮時に挑戦してみたいです。

最後に、帰りの送迎バスに忘れ物をしてしまったのですが、現地の会社とドライバーの親切な対応でその日のうちに戻ってきました。感謝

他の海とはまた違った体験でした。

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

Great crew for exploring this natural, beautiful sandbar!

Reviewed by: Alex

The sandbar itself is an awesome natural phenomenon, and having a top-notch crew that supports you during your visit is a great benefit! Their boat cruise out to the sandbar provides you with water and a snack, as well as offers a place out of the sun to change or use the restrooms which would otherwise be completely unavailable without them. PLUS, they provide so much equipment to snorkel, kayak, play volleyball, and swim with lifejackets that is all included in the initial price. Definitely recommend the banana boat or tube ride though, as the thrill of being pulled behind a speed boat across this paradise is beautiful and quite fun! Overall, excellent experience that allows you to enjoy a natural phenomenon I've never experienced before.

It was amazing! 最高でした!

Reviewed by: M.O

We participated as a family. During snorkeling, we were able to see the coral reefs and fish up close. We also rode kayaks together as a family, and although it was optional, we got to experience the banana boat, which made the kids very happy. We created wonderful memories as a family and would like to participate again next time.

家族で参加させて貰いました。
シュノーケリングではまじかで珊瑚礁と魚を見ることができ、家族で一緒にカヤックに乗ったり、オプションですが、バナナボートも体験することができ、子供達も大喜び。家族での良い思い出ができ、次回も参加したいと思います。

Ocean! 海!

Reviewed by: ずーみん

It's better not to expect shallow waters.

There were plenty of activities, so it was fun. The staff provided explanations in Japanese, live performances, and meals, which made the experience very fulfilling.

The seating is assigned, and you leave your belongings in that space when going to the sea. In case of theft, there are surveillance cameras. If you're concerned, it's better to secure your belongings with a lock.

One slight disappointment was that I rode the banana boat with my spouse, and since we were together, we couldn't take a photo. When I asked if we could at least get a photo at the moment we boarded, they declined. I thought it would have been better not to do it if we couldn't capture the memory.

I forgot my sunglasses on the return bus, and when I contacted the support center, they delivered them to my hotel. They also provided assistance in Japanese.

浅瀬になることを期待しないほうがいいです。

アクティブティが沢山あったので楽しかったです。
スタッフの方も日本語の説明や、生の演奏、食事もあったのでとても充実はしました。

席は決まっていて、荷物はそのスペースに置いて海に行きます。
万が一、盗まれた場合は監視カメラがあるそうです。不安な方は荷物に鍵を付けた方がいいです。

少し残念なのが、バナナボートに乗ったんですが。夫婦で乗ってしまったら撮れないので、乗る瞬間だけでも、写真頼めないですかと言ったら、断られました。写真に残らないなら、やらなければ良かったと思いました。

帰りのバスにサングラスを忘れて、サポートセンターに問い合わせたら、ホテルまで届けにきてくれました。こちらも日本語対応ありました。

Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We sincerely apologize for not meeting your expectations with the banana boat photos. The tide levels change daily, and there is a link on our site where you can check the tide information, so please aim to join us on a day with shallow waters next time. We look forward to seeing you! From all the KBOS staff.

この度はツアーへご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。バナナボートのお写真はご期待にお応えできなく大変申し訳ありませんでした。潮位につきましては日々変わり、サイトに潮の満ち引き情報が確認できるリンクがありますので次回は是非浅瀬の日を狙って参加してみてください。お待ちしております! KBOS スタッフ一同

Best trip to Kaneohe Sandbar

This was our 3rd time on this boat. The crew and musicians are the best around and always make it a great experience. I highly recommend this trip to all that are looking for a fun adventure in one of the most beautiful places on Oahu. Trust me you will not be disappointed.

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

Disappointed!

Reviewed by: Daniela

very disappointed! $140 is way too much. We also paid extra $20 for lunch - and only got a sandwich with 2 pieces of pineapple - I mean this is a SNACK not a Lunch actually..

We were also only allowed to kayak in a certain tiny room. So we basically drove in circles and could not explor the beautiful sandbar - wow. So It would be cheaper if we had rent the kayak by our own!!

Too expensive - would rather pay the half of the price or less, but definitely not more!

The banana boat was fun. バナナボードは楽しかった

Reviewed by: りんご

It was really cold. I couldn't stay in the sea for even five minutes. The wind was strong, and the weather wasn't good.
I heard from relatives in Kaneohe that summer weather has a cycle, and during our time, there were just a few days with a lot of wind, clouds, and showers.
It seems that the sandbar is not often visible; we couldn't see it at all this time. The water was up to my chest, and the waves were strong. When I got on the free kayak, I was swept away immediately, and it was scary.
If possible, I would like to make a reservation while checking the weather on-site.
The crew members were very kind and warm. My mother had a hard time with seasickness, but we are grateful for their heartfelt support.

とにかく寒かった。寒くて5分も海にいられない。風も強い。天候よくなかった。
カネオヘ在の親戚に、夏の天気はサイクルがあって私達の時はちょうど風があり曇とシャワーが多い数日間だったようです。。。
サンドバー、なかなかみられないようです、
この時は全く見られなかった。海水が胸まであり波も強く、無料のカヤックに乗ったら、すぐに流され、怖かったです。
できるなら、現地で天気見ながら申し込みしたい。
船の方々はとても親切で暖かいです。母が酔い大変でしたが、心温まる対応していただき感謝しております。

Thank you very much for participating in the tour. The weather in Hawaii can be unpredictable; there are warm days, but unfortunately, when the weather turns, it can get quite cold. On the day of your tour, it seems the water level was high and the winds were strong, making for unfortunate weather, and we are very sorry about that. We hope that next time you can enjoy a different beautiful sandbar on a sunny day. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

Best regards,
The KBOS Staff

この度はツアーにご参加頂き誠にありがとうございました。ハワイの天気は変わりやすく暖かい日もあれば、残念ながら天気が崩れると寒いこともあります。ツアーご参加当日は水位も高く風も強くあいにくお天気だった様で大変残念に思っております。次回は是非晴れた日のまた違った美しいサンドバーを楽しんで頂けるといいなと思っております。この度はご自身の体験をシェアして頂きありがとうございました。 KBOS スタッフ一同
