All Reviews for Kayaking Tours & Canoe Paddling

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.

Staff is amazing and so kind! The sandbar is so clear and beautiful, we even saw a sea turtle paddle boarding around!

Smooth boat ride to the sandbar. Lunch was enjoyable. Music was wonderful. Staff was friendly and attentive. Other than the weather which is uncontrollable, we had a wonderful time.

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。

The staff was super kind, activities where safe and long enough for you to enjoy your time at the destination + it’s guaranteed that you’ll see fish if you snorkel :)

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.

As a non-swimmer, I enjoyed the trip as much as my family. Every crew member is wonderful, fun, and put safety as priority. Highly recommended!

The captain and crew were so great. We had such a great time. Highly recommend going on this tour!

The live music on boat was incredible! The sandbar had awesome colors. Very much recommended!

The weather was perfect, and it was the best experience! Choosing the banana boat and tubing course was the right decision. During the banana boat ride, the boat staff took us to a sea turtle spot, so they stopped the boat for us to watch the sea turtles, and the kids were thrilled.

天気にも恵まれ最高でした♪バナナボートとチューブラインのコースで正解でした。バナナボートでは途中ボートの方が海亀のポイントに連れてってくれたので、ボートを止めて海亀ウォッチをしてくれ、子供も感激してました。

The staff were bright and funny, and they were the best. The donuts we got on the boat were delicious, but the juice was just okay. The place to disembark from the boat is in 1.5m of water. It's a tour mainly focused on attractions. Swimwear is a must. The attractions were enjoyable and felt safe with the staff's supervision.

スタッフは明るく面白い人たちでサイコーでした。
船でもらったドーナツは美味しかったけど、ジュースはイマイチかも。
船から降りる場所は、1.5mの海におります。アトラクションメインのツアーです。水着は必須。アトラクションはスタッフの見守りもあって安心で楽しめました。

I attended with high expectations, but contrary to my hopes, I wasn't that impressed. There are many more beautiful beaches on the East Coast, so I think it's better to look for those. The live music on the ship was very good.

期待して参加しましたが、期待に反しそれほど感動できませんでした。東海岸にはもっときれいなビーチがたくさんありますので、それを探していった方がいいと思います。船内の音楽演奏は、とても良かったです。

It was a beautiful day to head out to the sandbar. Glad we pick this excursion.

I wish the day we went the clouds was not covering the sun so the water was a little bit cold . The staff was awesome and activities was there to do but there was a jelly fish lingering so people got stung . Beside that it was a great adventure.

During my stay in Waikiki, this was the most exciting activity nearby. Even those who are not good at surfing can ride the waves and experience the thrill. I recommend trying this canoe surfing before parasailing or jet skiing.

ワイキキ滞在の中で、最も近場で、最もエキサイティングなアクティビティです。
サーフィンが苦手な人も、波に乗り、爽快感を味わうことができます。
パラセーリング、ジェットスキーよりも、まずこのカヌーサーフィンをオススメします。

I had an amazing time! Everyone on the staff was great! We rode a banana boat, and the local guide took us to a spot where we could see sea turtles! The snorkeling was beautiful too, as the fish gathered when we scattered food! And the ocean was just stunning! My daughters, who are 8 and 6 years old, are already saying they want to go back.

めちゃくちゃ楽しめました！スタッフみんなが良い人！バナナボートに乗りましたが、牽引してくれる現地の方が海亀のいるところに連れて行ってくれました！シュノーケリングも餌をまくと魚が集まって来て綺麗でした！そしてとにかく海が綺麗！8歳と歳6歳の娘達もまた行きたいと言っています。

The blue sky and the incredibly clear water. The staff's music added to the excitement of the Hawaii trip. Additionally, there are various activities available, so you can either be fully active or take it easy and relax.

青空と最高に澄み切った水。
スタッフさんの音楽がまたHAWAII旅をさらに盛り上げてくれました。また、いろいろなアクティビティがあるのでフルに動くもよし、休憩しながゆっくり過すのもいいと思います。

Clear guidance of the whole tour, helpful crew and they are passionate about making your tour pleasant. Definitely suggesting all to have this tour

The experience of moving while listening to live Hawaiian music on the boat was amazing! I chose this plan to do SAP in the heavenly sea, and we were able to do SAP, snorkeling, and kayaking all in turns! Before we played, the staff always taught us how to do it. The staff were from overseas, but most of them spoke Japanese well, which was a great help! Since the playtime was long, I think it would be nice to take photos while waiting. In reviews of other tours, there were mentions of photo purchases being charged, but here there was none of that; in fact, the staff took pictures with our own phones, so I definitely recommend bringing a waterproof case for your phone! Even if you hang your phone around your neck to keep it dry, there’s a chance you might flip over in SAP and fall into the sea headfirst, so if it's not waterproof, your phone could be in trouble. I was worried because of reviews saying the boat was cold, and indeed, when I returned to the boat soaked from snorkeling, it felt so cold that my lips were numb. The drinks on the boat were only cold ones. So, after enjoying SAP at the end and warming up in the sun before returning to the boat, I felt much better about the cold. There were participants from various countries, and people of all ages, from small children to the elderly, and everyone seemed to be having fun. If you want to feel Hawaii, I recommend this plan! 😊

ハワイアンミュージックの生演奏を船上で聴きながらの移動が最高でした！天国の海でSAPが出来るプランを探してこちらを選びましたが、交代でSAPもシュノーケリングもカヤックも全て出来ました！遊ぶ前に必ずスタッフがやり方を教えてくれます。スタッフは海外の方ですが、ほとんどの方が日本語上手で助かりました！遊べる時間も長いので、待っている間に写真撮影などすれば良いと思います。他のツアーの口コミでは、写真の購入が有料だったなどありますが、こちらは一切そういうのは無く、なんならスタッフが自分たちの携帯で撮影してくれるので、必ず防水ケースに入った携帯を持参することをオススメします！首から濡れないように携帯を下げていたとしても、SAPでひっくり返って頭から海に落ちる事もあるので、防水じゃないと携帯がやばいことになります。船内が寒いとの口コミがあり不安でしたが、確かにシュノーケリングをして全身濡れた状態で船内に戻ると、口が悴むほど寒く感じました。船内のドリンクは冷たいのしか無いですし。なので、最後にSAPを楽しみながら身体を太陽で温めてから船内に戻ると、だいぶ寒さはマシに感じました。参加者にはいろいろな国の方がいて、年齢も小さな子からお年寄りの方がいて、みんな楽しんでいるようでした。ハワイを感じたい方は、こちらのプランがオススメです＾＾
