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

Sandbar Tour

Reviewed by: Tony

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.

A fulfilling plan to fully enjoy the ocean. 海を満喫できる充実のプラン

Reviewed by: MM

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. Unfortunately, it seems that the water level was a bit deep on the day of your visit. Next time, please be sure to check the tide chart before joining us. Best regards from all 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。SUPやスノーケルを楽しんで頂けた様で大変嬉しく思っております。当社のツアーがお連れしたところもサンドバーなのですが、サンドバーは引き潮の時に現れますので潮位によって現れる時と水深が深い日もあります。当日は残念ながら少し水位が深かったようですね、、次回は是非事前にタイドグラフ(潮見表)をチェックしてご参加してみてください。KBOS スタッフ一同

アウトリガーカヌー・サーフィン  ハワイ伝統のカヌーでワイキキの景色を眺めながら波乗り体験!<0.5~1時間/ロイヤルハワイアンホテル>

The exhilaration of gliding on Waikiki Beach is the best! ワイキキビーチを滑走する爽快さが最高!

Reviewed by: さかな

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!

Great way to start your morning off with a fun excursion!!

Reviewed by: Marie

This is probably one of the best excursions we’ve done in Hawaii as it includes snorkeling, paddle boarding and canoes all in one price. At an additional charge we added tubing and banana boat for children and they loved it. We did the morning excursion and that includes donuts and punch which is a sugar overload, I would suggest bringing breakfast/snacks. We all had a great time

The staff's service was excellent! スタッフさんたちの対応が最高でした!

Reviewed by: FF

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。

Easy sandbar experience. お手軽にサンドバー体験

Reviewed by: JUN

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.

天候が全て。
このアクティビティに参加を決めたなら日々の行いを改めて、晴天を祈り、清い気持ちでその日を待つこと。
私たちは精進が足らず曇りの日となってしまった。
ピックアップを希望する場合は宿泊ホテルを伝えるとだいたい近くに迎えに来てくれる。
私たちはロイヤル・ハワイアンに宿泊していたため、道路向かいのROSS前に待ち合わせだった。
桟橋までバスで移動し、いざ上船!
船上で免責同意書を記載し、20分程度の航行。船酔いしやすい義母も機嫌良さそうだったため、その点も安定感がある。
ドーナツとドリンクは早い者勝ち。帰りにはドーナツは売り切れ。
サンドバー自体にはなんの文句もない。船上でまどろむもよし、カヤックやSUPに興じるもよい。参加日は風が強く、魚や亀はほぼ見えず。

It was really great! 😊 すごく良かったです(^^)/

Reviewed by: NACHI♡

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。
このツアーに参加してホント良かったです。スタッフの皆様 本当にありがとうございました。

アウトリガーカヌー・サーフィン  ハワイ伝統のカヌーでワイキキの景色を眺めながら波乗り体験!<0.5~1時間/ロイヤルハワイアンホテル>

Because it's an outrigger, it won't capsize!! アウトリガーだから転覆しない!!

Reviewed by: hahagattuso

I chose this experience to create lasting memories for my friend's first trip to Hawaii. Two guides accompanied us, and the three of us—my friend and my husband—got into a five-person canoe. The location was the beach in front of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel.

First, we received a lecture on how to ride the outrigger canoe and how to hold the paddle on land. We pushed the outrigger canoe from the sandy beach into the sea. Then, we sat in designated spots in a line and started paddling out to the waves, waiting alongside the surfers. The instructions were given in Japanese, such as "Pull harder!" and "Opposite!" so we just kept paddling.

It was reassuring to have guidance on the wave points and timing. The view from the sea was incredibly beautiful compared to what we usually see from the beach. We rode three times, and it was harder than I expected. It was a lot of fun!

The sandbar didn't appear, so the scenery was just a shallow area, which was disappointing, but I was able to see a lot of fish and enjoyed a fun time kayaking. The live music on the boat was performed very well, and it was really good.

サンドバーは現れなかったので景色的にはただの浅瀬で残念だったんですが、お魚も沢山見れたし、カヤックにも乗れて楽しい時間を過ごせました。   船上ライブミュージックは歌が上手でがとても良かったです。

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

Nice few hour excursion

Reviewed by: Girls trip

Nice Excursion- took their shuttle from Waikiki (extra fee) which took about 40 min because had 3 other hotel stops. Boat to Sandvar was about 10 min, lunch was tasty, music on boat was terrific and added ambiance. Was a cloudy day and even rained but even though chilly and not ideal was fun to have the opportunity to canoe ride, paddle board and snorkel in one area and one fee. Banana boat and tube ride (right at arrival to sandbar) was SUPER fun, lasted about 5 min each. Felt it should be longer for price per person. Overall was a nice afternoon experience, for cost though would say unless you do all of the activities it’s pricey. Staff was professional and friendly.

Relaxing on the floating island, listening to live Hawaiian music. 浮島でのんびり、生のハワイアンミュージック聞きながら。

Reviewed by: ニャン太

I couldn't see the pure white island, but I enjoyed snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding (though the strong winds made it less elegant). The live music was surprisingly good, adding to the tropical atmosphere.

真っ白な島は、見れませんでしたが、シュノーケリングしたり、SAPしたり、楽しめました。(ただし風が強くて、優雅なSAPとはいきませんでしたが)
思いのほか、生演奏が良かったです。南国ムードましましでした。

Marine sports in Hawaii ハワイでマリンスポーツ

Reviewed by: みん

I went without a shuttle, but I was able to get there with just one bus from in front of Ala Moana! The return bus took a while to arrive, so I spent some time at the nearby beach, but it came in about 30 minutes! The experience itself was great, as there was a guide who spoke Japanese, which made me feel very at ease! I also got to see sea turtles!

送迎なしで行きましたがアラモアナの前から1本のバスで行けました!
帰りのバスがなかなか来なかった為、近くの海で時間潰しをしましたが30分ほどで来ました!
体験自体も日本語が話せるガイドさんがいてすごく安心しました!
ウミガメも見れました!

アウトリガーカヌー・サーフィン  ハワイ伝統のカヌーでワイキキの景色を眺めながら波乗り体験!<0.5~1時間/ロイヤルハワイアンホテル>

It was fun. 楽しかったです

Reviewed by: 子だぬき

I have never surfed before and I probably won't in the future, so I decided to join this experience to feel that vibe casually. The speed was much slower than I imagined, and I didn't feel scared at all. Watching the people surfing on the same waves and being able to ride the waves together was fun and made me feel like a surfer. However, it ended in no time. It would be nice if it were a bit cheaper.

サーフィンをした事が無く、今後もできそうもないので、気軽にそんな気分になれそうなこちらに参加しました。
想像よりもスピードはゆっくりで、全く怖さはありませんでした。同じ波にサーフィンしている人達を見て、一緒に波に乗れたのは、サーファー気分で楽しかったです。
しかし、あっという間に終わりでした。もう少し安価だといいですね。

Dear Kodanuki,

Thank you for participating in the Outrigger Canoe Surfing service at Waikiki Beach. Canoeing on the waves is an activity that was invented for the Ali'i (royalty) who wanted to surf. We are glad to hear that your family enjoyed it. We look forward to your next visit.

子だぬき様:この度はワイキキビーチサービスのアウトリガーカヌーサーフィンにご参加いただき、有難うございました。カヌーで波乗りは昔のアリイ(王様)が波乗りをしたくアリイの為に発明されたアクティビティーです。ご家族お楽しみになられたようで何よりです。またのお越しをお待ちしております。

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

A great family experience.

Reviewed by: LC

This was a great experience for our family. The banana boat and bumper ride was a fun time and I’d recommend for families to do together. We all had time to use the paddle boards and kayaks as well as try our hand at snorkelling. The crew was super friendly, informative and attentive while we were getting to the sandbar and throughout the activity. Snorkelling is limited to small fish amongst the reefs but great for novice snorkelers. Highly recommend this excellent excursion!

Wish the day would never end!

Reviewed by: Dominique

This trip to the sandbar was excellent. The company has the day very well planned for guests so that you don’t have to worry about anything other than relaxing.

Here are all the pros:
Pick up and drop off from Waikiki available
Lunch provided
Paddle board and kayak use included
Nice sun deck set up
Friendly staff
Great music for the trip to and from

Overall, excellent experience and I’m glad I didn’t miss it.
