Get on a large boat with about 30 to 40 people to enjoy 20 minutes of live music as it takes us to our destination near the sandbar, then get off the boat and swim over to 4 possible activities:
(1) snorkeling
(2) kayaking
(3) paddle boarding
(4) sunbathing on a floating platform
Lunch is a turkey/cheese croissant sandwich with chips and a drink. I had great fun doing both kayaking and paddle boarding but I didn't do snorkeling. Word of advice - swim fast to either paddle board or kayak otherwise you'll have to wait about an hour for one to be available (first come first serve). Ultimately, everyone had a chance to do all activities but whichever one you are most looking forward to doing - hit it first! NOTE: water is deep in most places so even though you are wearing a lifevest, your feet will not touch the ground - it's not dangerous as there's no heavy surf but I don't want non swimmers to be surprised or panic.

ALOHA!
I celebrated my 60th birthday and was able to visit Hawaii and the sandbar after a long time.
The tide was high, so we mostly went snorkeling, but I was impressed by the beauty of the ocean and the large schools of fish.
The live music on the boat and the donuts were also delicious.
MAHALO!
I definitely want to participate again.

This was such a fun family activity! A first for us, but something we’ll definitely do again when visiting Oahu. The staff was very friendly and clear on what we needed to do. The captain knows what he’s doing. He caught three awesome waves! A must do, especially if you have you get children!
Aloha! Thank you for taking the time to write a review and give a 5 star rating! Canoe surfing is truly a one of a kind experience and an unforgettable thrill ride. We love that it gives the feeling of riding a wave without having to do it on a surfboard. We are so happy to hear the entire family enjoyed their time on the water with our captain and team. We hope to have you back soon. Mahalo

Most of the crew was nice and friendly. When we signed up for this tour, the two activities my group and I were looking forward to were the Banana Boat and BUmper Tube. However, they ended up being the two activities we least enjoyed. Riders of these two activities are of various ages and the lack of consideration for that was disappointing. The woman that "drove" the boat sped off the from the boarding so fast that are necks jerked back so hard that we were sore the next day. During the ride, we tried to get her attention several timers to slow down because some of us were almost thrown off the boat.

This boating adventure was a fun day for our 3 generational family of 15 people ages 8 to 70. The crew was friendly and very helpful, and even had a table reserved for us so that we could all sit together on the way out to the sandbar. The music was exceptional with professional musicians...ukulele and singing. The boat is big and holds a lot of people comfortably. When we got to the sandbar, we were a bit disappointed that they required everyone to wear a life jacket, and there was no deep water snorkeling. I have been out to this area a few years earlier with a different company that took us to a beautiful snorkel area that I had hyped up to my family, so it was a disappointment that his was not the same place. That is the only reason it is not the highest rating. But we soon got over it, and enjoyed a shallow snorkel, and found that the life jackets worked quite well for the shallow water adventure. The snorkel disappointment was made up for by the kayaks, sups, and volleyball play on the sandbar. The weather cooperated that day, and everyone had a blast. We would do it again, although not it was not really a snorkel boat. Many thanks to the staff and crew for all of their efforts.

We did an afternoon tour of the Kaneohe Bay sandbar and loved it. The water was chest deep in some spots and above our heads in other spots. I believe it was high tide. The sandbar is gorgeous and was a must see for us. What made this great was the helpful and friendly demeanor of the staff along with the live music. They had a lifeguard in the snorkeling area which made us feel safe. There was plenty of gear to borrow and things to do: snorkeling, volleyball, kayak, SUPs, footballs to throw around, and swimming. We are so glad we did this tour and would do it again.

This was probably the best tour we went on during our trip. The snorkeling was arguably better than Hanauma Bay. There were less fish, but the corals were in way better shape and the water was a lot calmer. I probably spent most of my time just snorkeling. The kayaks and paddle boards were alright. There isn’t much to do on them so I didn’t really spend much of my time on those. I saw mostly a parent and their kids riding the kayaks. There is a platform in the middle that you can hang out in. The food was good, but I suggest bringing extra snacks as I got a little hungry after hanging out at the sandbar. For drinks they only served beer and hard seltzers, but they gave you the option to bring your own if you’re into that. We were there during high tide so there wasn’t much to stand on, but you can still get your feet on the sand in some parts. We opted for the banana boat and bumper tube and this probably was my favorite part. Banana boat was okay, but the bumper tube ride was insane. I got the opportunity to ride solo on one of the runs and I asked them to give me the crazy ride, and man did they deliver. BIG shoutout to the guy towing the tube. The staff was awesome and super accommodating. They let everyone have fun while keeping it safe. Definitely the best experience out of all the other ones we did in Oahu (cruise, Kualoa ranch, hanauma bay, shark swimming). Would recommend and is a 100% must do in my opinion.

I was moved by the incredibly beautiful sea. There was transportation to the main points in Waikiki, and there was a Japanese guide on the boat who provided plenty of explanations, so I felt secure and enjoyed myself. I was able to try SUP, which I had always wanted to do, and I saw many fish while snorkeling (although I didn't get to see any sea turtles…). For snacks, there were donuts, and the soft drinks available were water, orange juice, and hot water. There is a changing room on the boat, so it's better to bring a change of clothes. You will end up freezing on the air-conditioned bus ride back.
It seems that you need to go with a different tour company to visit the so-called sandbar (a beach surrounded by the sea). The area we played in was shallow enough to stand, but it was a bit deeper in some spots.
とにかく綺麗な海で感動しました。ワイキキの主要ポイントへの送迎があり、船には日本人のガイドさんも乗っていたので説明も十分にしていただき安心して楽しめました。ずっとやってみたかったSUPもできたし、シュノーケリングではたくさんの魚が見れました。(ウミガメには会えませんでした…)軽食にはドーナツ、ソフトドリンクは水、オレンジジュース、お湯がありました。船の中に更衣室があるので着替えを持っていったほうがいいです。凍えながら冷房の効いたバスで帰ることになります。
いわゆるサンドバー(海に囲まれた砂浜)は別のツアー会社じゃないといけないみたいです。我々が遊んだ海は足がつくけどちょっと深めのところでした。
Thank you very much for participating in our tour. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the SUP and snorkeling. The location we took you to was a sandbar, which appears during low tide, so the visibility and water depth can vary depending on the tide.

Start from the beach at the Royal Hawaiian.
When you show the VELTRA voucher (on your smartphone screen) at the poolside reception of the Royal Hawaiian, your check-in is complete. You can take off your shoes and have your bag stored. There may be someone who speaks Japanese among the staff.
We participated as two adults and three children (a high schooler, a middle schooler, and an elementary schooler), and we all got on one canoe, along with the captain and the paddler, totaling seven people. Everyone except for the small children basically needs to paddle. It requires quite a bit of strength. It can be tiring.
However, the refreshing feeling of gliding smoothly over Waikiki Beach is wonderful. You typically make about three round trips. (There isn't much time to take photos, but I think it's possible to take selfies if you waterproof your device perfectly.)
Additionally, they take photos for you, and if you pay, they have a system to send them to you online. I think it was around $60.
ロイヤルハワイアンの砂浜からスタート。
ロイヤルハワイアンのプールサイドの受付にベルトラバウチャー(スマホ画面)を見せると受付完了。靴を脱いで、バッグも預かってもらえます。女性の日本語がわかる方がいらっしゃる場合があります。
大人2人子供3人(高校生、中学生、小学生)で参加しましたが、1台のカヌーにのり、船長と漕ぎ手が乗り合計7人でのります。小さな子供以外は、基本的に漕ぐ必要があります。結構な力で漕ぎます。疲れます。
ただ、ワイキキビーチを颯爽と滑る爽快さは素晴らしい。大体3往復くらいしてくれます。(写真を撮る余裕はあまりないですが、防水完ぺきにして自撮りすることは可能と思います)
なお、写真は先方で撮ってくれていますが、お金を払えばネットで送ってくれるシステムです。60ドルくらいだった気がします。
Dear Sakana,
Thank you very much for participating in our outrigger canoe surfing. As you mentioned, it is indeed not possible for small children (under 12 years old) to paddle, but we welcome all healthy individuals aged 13 and above to become paddlers. Essentially, without paddlers, it is not possible to ride the waves. In outrigger canoe surfing, we guarantee that you will ride the waves three times, and the average duration is between 20 to 30 minutes depending on the wave conditions. If you wish to ride for a longer time, we recommend joining the canoe charter, which is a one-hour activity. During the chartered hour, you can ride as many waves as possible. We hope to see you again! Aloha!
さかな様:この度は、弊社のアウトリガーカヌーサーフィンにご参加いただき、誠に有難うございました。おっしゃる通りに、小さなお子様(12歳以下)は漕ぐことは無理ですが、13以上の健康な全ての方にパドラー(漕ぐ人)になって頂きます。基本的に、漕ぐ方がいないと、波に乗れないからです。アウトリガーカヌーサーフィンでは3回波に乗ることがギャランティーとなっており、波のコンディションによって20分―30分が所要時間の平均です。もっと長く乗りたい場合は、カヌーチャーターという1時間のアクティビティーにご参加なさることをお勧めします。チャーターした1時間の間に、出来るだけの波に乗る事ができます。またお越しください!アロハ!

Just before getting on the banana boat, the children were scared of falling into the sea, but the staff noticed this and drove at just the right speed (fast enough, but without sudden turns or creating waves). By the end of the banana boat ride, the children were all smiles and very happy.
During snorkeling, another staff member casually chatted with the children, who were nervous about their first snorkeling experience, using a friendly Kansai dialect (they were a local). This helped ease their tension.
Thanks to this, we were able to create wonderful memories for the whole family.
バナナボートに乗る直前で、こどもたちが海に落ちることを怖がってしまったのですが、それを察知したスタッフさんが、ちょうど良い加減の運転(スピードはそこそこあるものの、急に曲がったり波を立てるような運転はしない)をしてくれて、バナナボートが終わるころにはこどもたちは笑顔で大喜びでした。
シュノーケリング時には、はじめてのシュノーケリングに緊張しているこどもたちに対して、別のスタッフさんが気さくに(関西弁でw 現地の方ですがww)話しかけてくれて、緊張をといてくれました。
おかげで、家族全員にとって楽しい思い出にすることができました。

The weather is everything. If you've decided to participate in this activity, you should reflect on your daily actions, pray for clear skies, and wait for that day with a pure heart. We fell short in our efforts and ended up with a cloudy day. If you wish to have a pickup, just let them know your hotel, and they will usually come to pick you up nearby. We were staying at the Royal Hawaiian, so we arranged to meet in front of Ross across the street. We took a bus to the pier and then boarded the ship! Onboard, we filled out a liability waiver and set off for about a 20-minute sail. My mother-in-law, who is prone to seasickness, seemed to be in good spirits, which added to the sense of stability. Donuts and drinks are first come, first served. By the time we returned, the donuts were sold out. I have no complaints about the sandbar itself. You can relax on the boat or enjoy kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding. On the day we participated, it was quite windy, and we could hardly see any fish or turtles.

It was really great!
I definitely recommend it!
☆ Positive Points
★ We were blessed with good weather, and it was incredibly beautiful.
★ Even as a first-time snorkeler, I had a lot of fun because it was a shallow area where I could stand comfortably.
★ It was also my first time kayaking, but the staff helped me get on properly, and when I drifted a bit, the captain's boat shouted, "Come back! Keep paddling!" which made me feel reassured.
★ I was worried about seasickness, but I didn't feel it at all.
★ The lunch was very delicious.
★ All the staff were foreigners, but two of them spoke Japanese very well, even able to make jokes, and they were great at explaining and answering questions. Everyone was smiling and it was a really nice team.
★ The music played on the boat was very Hawaiian and really good.
★ When we got out of the water, the captain (a foreign woman) made us warm tea, which was delicious! I appreciated the thoughtfulness!
☆ Negative Points
★ I was expecting to walk on the white sand, but since I joined the afternoon course, it was high tide. I heard from the staff on the boat that you need to join the morning course to walk on the water during low tide. I was disappointed because I had high expectations. I should have checked properly.
★ There were no showers on the boat, just a changing room, but that was still helpful. However, there were only two hooks for hanging things like plastic bags inside the changing room, so it would have been nice to have a basket or something to put our clothes in.
☆ Other
★ As advice, I felt this tour was more suited for adults. There were families with toddlers, and they might have enjoyed it to some extent, but for families with young children, Hanauma Bay, where fish come close to the beach, might be a better recommendation. (This is just my personal opinion.)
☆ Lastly
★ I participated with my daughter in her 20s, and we had a lot of fun! It was really different from Waikiki Beach and Hanauma Bay, and it was great!
I definitely recommend it.
I’m really glad I joined this tour. Thank you very much to all the staff!
とても良かったです!
ぜひオススメです!
☆良かった点
★お天気に恵まれ、すごく綺麗でした。
★シュノーケリング 初めての私でも、足がほどほどにつく 浅瀬だったのでとても楽しめました。
★カヤックも初めてでしたが スタッフの人がちゃんと乗せてくれたし、 少し流された時には 主のボートから「戻って〜!頑張って漕いで〜!」と大きな声で指示していただけて安心でした。
★船酔いも心配でしたが 全くしなかったです。
★ランチもとても美味しかった 。
★スタッフ全員が外人でしたが、2人 日本語が話せる人がいて 冗談も言えるぐらい上手だし、説明や質問もOKだし、全員が笑顔で楽しく とてもいい スタッフでした。
★船内の演奏もハワイらしくて、すごく良かった。
★海から上がった時 暖かい紅茶を 船長さん(外人の女性) が淹れてくれて美味しかった! 気遣いが嬉しかった!
☆残念だった点
★白砂で海上散歩できると期待してましたが、 私が参加したのは昼からのコースなので満潮。朝からのコースに参加しないと引潮で海上散歩できないと船の中でスタッフに聞きました。 期待していただけに残念。ちゃんと調べておけば良かった。
★船内にシャワーは無く更衣室だけでしたが、 それでも助かりました。 ただ更衣室の中は ビニール袋など 掛けるフックが2つだけなので、 着替え等が置けるカゴなどが置いてあったら有難かったです。
☆その他
★アドバイスとしては、大人向きのツアー かなと 感じました。幼児を連れている人もいて それなりに楽しめたかもしれないけど…幼児連れのご家族なら 砂浜に魚がすぐ寄ってくるハナウマビーチの方が おすすめかもしれません。(あくまで個人的な見解です。)
☆最後に
★20代の娘と2人で参加しましたが とても 楽しめました! ワイキキビーチ や ハナウマビーチ とはまた違って、すごく良かったです!
是非オススメです。
