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

Unforgettable experience!

Reviewed by: Adrienne

Would highly recommend this package for the sandbar. The personnel are very experienced and friendly. Live music was great.

There were plenty of activities to choose from, and a perfect amount of time to try everything. The boat took us to a quieter area of the sandbar, so we basically had a private area to ourselves.

I'm glad we booked transportation through the package, as parking was full when we arrived.

Would want to go on this again!

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

An Absolute Must!

Reviewed by: EC Garcia

Everything about the whole experience was easy and convenient. We booked a party of 8 for a high school boy's trip and had an immeasurable amount of fun.

Booking was super easy and once completed you get a confirmation email and a waiver for everyone to fill out. Instructions were clear and concise and the check-in team members were friendly and accommodating.

Preston was engaging as he broke down the rules and expectations. Kaawa Entertainment, Jesse, and the Ukelele-ist kept us jammin' until we reached the bar. As we sailed away he was cracking jokes about us Cali folks, which was hilarious. The brothers Nohu and mimicked flight attendants by educating us on how to wear our life vests properly. The captains and the rest of the team shared their aloha hospitality with us serving us donuts for breakfast and keeping us hydrated with water and tang.

I will definitely come back and do this again!

No repeat!! リピートはなし!!

Reviewed by: シェリー

I think it's completely not worth the 20,000 yen per person, even considering that it's a natural phenomenon and the sand may not appear. It says that meals are included, but even in the morning, there wasn't even coffee, just a sweet donut and some bad juice mixed with water. My daughter and I participated in snorkeling, but the sea wasn't that beautiful, and there were no fish. When I asked the Japanese woman in charge, she bluntly said that there were fish a little further away by the coral, but we were told not to go beyond the coral, so we ended up not seeing many fish and our satisfaction level was zero.

It seemed like you could also do stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking, but once everyone used them, they didn't pass them on to the next person, so I only got to ride for a little bit about 10 minutes before the meeting time. I think they should either set a usage time or increase the number of equipment available. Other newlyweds looked bored floating on the rest boards in the sea, and it was really sad to see.

I will never participate again, and I think anyone considering joining should just pay for a different beach instead of this. I really want my 40,000 yen back!! (laughs)

自然現象だからサンドが現れないのは仕方ないとして、1人約2万円払って行く価値は全くないと思います。
食事付きと記載されていますが、朝なのにコーヒーすらなく甘ったるいドーナツ1つと水で溶かした不味いジュースかお水でした。
娘と2人でシュノーケルの参加でしたが、海もそこまで綺麗ではなく魚もいないし、主催の日本人女性に聞いたら少し離れたサンゴの所に魚がいると無愛想に言われました。
ですが、サンゴより向こうは行かないで下さいって言われたので結局魚はあまり見れず満足度はゼロでした。
その他サップやカヤックが出来るようでしたが、みなさん一度使うと中々次の人にまわさないので、結局集合時間の10分前にちょこっと乗れたくらいです。
使用時間を決めるか、もっと増やすか改善するべきだと思います。
他の新婚さんも海に浮いている休憩するボードにつまらなさそうにしていて、とても可哀想でした。
もう2度と参加しませんし、参加を考えてるみなさんもお金払わなくても普通に別の海に入った方が満足出来ると思います。
ほんと4万円返して欲しい!!笑

We are very sorry to hear that your experience with the KBOS tour did not meet your expectations. The weather and sea conditions, such as water levels, vary daily and are beyond our control, but we hope you were still able to enjoy the natural beauty of Hawaii during the tour. Our tours welcome participants from various countries and cultures. We aim to create an atmosphere where everyone can share their experiences at the sandbar and enjoy activities together without strict time limits, making it easy for guests to interact with the crew. However, it seems that there wasn't enough time for activities during your tour. Regarding meals, we provide sandwiches in the afternoon, while the morning tour includes pastries like donuts or muffins. We need to reconsider how we communicate meal options to make it clearer for our customers, rather than just stating "meal included." We will share your valuable feedback internally and strive to improve our tours. Thank you for your input.

Sincerely,
The KBOS Staff

この度はKBOS ツアーにご参加頂きましたがご期待に沿えない体験となってしまった様で大変残念で申し訳なく思っております。天候や水位など海の状況は日々異なりコントロール出来ませんが、その様なハワイの自然を楽しんで頂ければと思い日々ツアーを催行させて頂いております。また私どものツアーには色々な国、文化の方が参加して下さっております。サンドバーでの体験を共有して頂き、アクティビティにつきましても皆さんで声を掛け合いながら共有し、利用時間等を設けずゆったりと楽しんでもらえるツアーを目指しておりクルーにも声かけやすいような雰囲気作りを目指しているのですが、、アクティビティにあまり時間が取れなかったのですね。お食事につきましては午後はサンドウィッチを提供しておりますが午前のツアーはドーナツもしくはマフィンなどのペースとリーとなっております。”食事付”とだけの記載でなくもっとお客様にわかり易いよう内容を記載するなどもう一度考えなければいけないですね。今回頂きましたご意見は社内で共有させて頂き、一層より良いツアーの催行にむけて努力させて頂く所存です。貴重なご意見を頂きありがとうございました。  KBOS スタッフ一同

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

Sand, Sea, and Throttle

Reviewed by: Jared

We had the best time during our time at the Kaneohe Bay Sandbar Ocean Sports Adventure. The live music (an experience in itself) really sets the tone for the day. The staff were friendly and helpful. One of the crew members told me to step on him to get into the kayak. Because he was shorter, he was underwater, while I used him as stairs. And we actually had to do this twice, because I flipped out on the first try. We purchased the package that included the bumper tube ride, and I must admit I misjudged our driver, who I think was the boat captain. For some reason, I was under the impression that she was going to take us us a mild tour around the bay. This was a prime example of don’t judge a book by its cover. Let me say this clearly: la capitana was all throttle. Honestly, the tubing was the best part of my day. I would recommend this to all. Great time.

The feeling of riding the waves is amazing! 波に乗る感覚が最高!

Reviewed by: 陸のパパ

I participated with my brothers and their daughters, a total of five of us. We received a lecture on how to board and paddle, and together we cooperated to push the canoe into the sea and board it. We worked hard to paddle out to the open water, and when the crew confirmed good waves, we turned direction, increased our pace to ride the waves, and successfully caught some amazing waves. That feeling was the best!

兄弟とその娘の5人で参加しました。乗り込み方、漕ぎ方のレクチャーを受け、皆で協力してまずはカヌーを海に押し入れて乗船。頑張って沖に漕ぎ出し、クルーがいい波を確認したら方向転換、波に乗るためピッチを上げて漕ぎ、見事波に乗ることが出来ました。その感覚は最高でした!

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

MUST DO WATER ACTIVITY!!

Reviewed by: Hong

This was the most fun water activity my friends and I did. We did the 9AM excursion so the sun was not fully out and was kind of chilly out there. But you end up warming up in the water. The snorkeling was amazing this was the most fishes that we saw during our whole time in Hawai'i (we've done snorkeling about 3x this trip). We also did the Bumper tube ride. I would only recommend this if you want some adrenaline! Since we did the 9AM, they provided donuts and OJ. I would recommend that you bring your own lunch, snacks, and drinks. There is also a convenient store by the dock if you want to pick up food. If you're wondering, they DO have restrooms on the boat and a changing room as well. Bring a set of comfortable clothes to change into (: This is the 1 activity i would do again!

It is necessary to check the tide level. 潮位の確認が必要。

Reviewed by: りえ

The day we participated, the depth was just enough for adults to stand. Depending on the tide, it can be completely different from the photos, so it's better to check before signing up. It was also a windy day in late September, and the water temperature was low, so the kids got cold and quickly wanted to get out, which was unfortunate. (There were even babies who enjoyed it for over an hour.)

All the staff were very friendly, and it was reassuring that the Japanese-speaking staff provided thorough explanations. It was almost full, and there wasn't a place to sit, but they kindly asked us to move, which was a great help.

If you're going to snorkel, it seems better to have marine shoes. I bumped my foot against the coral reef (which you shouldn't touch) and got injured.

私たちが参加した日は、大人がやっと足がつく深さでした。潮位によっては、写真と全く異なるので、調べてから申し込んだ方が良いです。また9月下旬の風の強い日で、水温も低く子供達は寒がりすぐに出てしまい残念でした。(1時間以上楽しんでいた赤ちゃんもいました)
スタッフの皆さんは、全員感じが良く、日本語スタッフの方が丁寧に説明してくださるので安心です。ほぼ満席で座る場所がなかったのですが、移動をお願いしてくださり大変助かりました。
シュノーケルをするなら、マリンシューズがあった方が良さそうです。珊瑚礁に足をぶつけてしまい(触ってはいけません)怪我をしてしまいました。

Outrigger canoe experience. アウトリガーカヌー体験。

Reviewed by: ke-ko

I've always wanted to try outrigger canoeing! The first wave was a bit small, and since I had heard there would be three challenges, I thought there would be two more to go... However, the small ones didn't count, and I was able to ride three big waves. The thrill of riding those big waves and getting close to the shore was absolutely amazing! I ended up getting splashed more than I expected. (laughs) But I highly recommend this activity.

Next time, I definitely want to ride even bigger waves than this time! ♪

ずぅーと体験したかったアウトリガーカヌー!初めの波は少し小さくて、挑戦は3回と聞いていたのであと2回なのかなーと思っていましたが、、、
小さいのはカウントされずに、3回大きな波に乗せてもらうことができました。

Focusing on a comparison with a certain tour. 某ツアーとの比較を中心に

Reviewed by: Yui

The sea was beautiful, the staff was cheerful and kind, there was live music, and the activities were a lot of fun!

This time, I participated in two consecutive tours to different sandbars, so I will compare based on my experiences.
- Boat size (this tour had a larger boat. The restroom was also fairly decent. Since there were many passengers, the atmosphere may vary depending on the participants. When we joined, there were relatively many families and three generations participating, which created a friendly vibe.)
- Activities (if you want to try banana boating or bumper tubing, this is the tour for you. Both snorkeling and SUP were enjoyable on either tour.)
- Live music (when we participated in this tour, the songs were mainly famous ones from Japan and Disney.)
- Provided snacks (the donuts here were American-sized and sweet.)
- Boat docking location (it was a bit far from the shallowest part of the sandbar. Due to tidal conditions, there were places where children around 120 cm tall could not touch the bottom at all... although life jackets were provided, it might be a bit challenging for children who are not good at swimming.)
- Japanese guide (it may vary by day, but on the days we participated, the guides provided detailed explanations in Japanese, which was reassuring.)
- Changing clothes, etc. (I think it's better to prepare something to wear over your swimsuit and plan to get on the bus as is. There are restrooms at the port, but they are limited, and the women's restroom has a long line. It is recommended to keep wearing aqua shoes. If you want to take videos or photos, don't forget a waterproof phone case!)

海は美しく、スタッフも陽気で親切、ライブ演奏もあり、アクティビティも大変楽しかったです!

今回2日連続でサンドバーが目的地の異なるツアーに参加したので、体験した範囲で比較してみます。
・ボートのサイズ(こちらのツアーの方が大きかったです。お手洗いもそれなりにしっかりしたものがあります。乗船人数が多いので、参加者によって雰囲気が左右されると思います。私たちが参加したときは親子連れや三世代参加が比較的多く和やかでした)
・アクティビティ(バナナボート、バンパーチューブにトライしたい場合はこちら。シュノーケリングやSUPはどちらでも楽しめました)
・ライブ演奏(私たちがこちらのツアーに参加したときは、日本でも有名な曲やディズニー中心でした)
・提供される軽食(こちらのドーナツはアメリカンなサイズと甘さでした)
・ボートの係留場所(サンドバーの一番の浅瀬からは少し離れた場所でした。潮位の条件もあって身長120㎝程の子供は全く足が着かない場所もあり…ライフジャケット着用ですが、泳ぐのが苦手な子にはややハードルが高いかもしれません)
・日本人ガイド(日によると思いますが、どちらのツアーも参加した日は日本語で細々とした点まで説明してくださって安心感がありました)
・着替えなど(どちらも水着の上に羽織れるものを用意して、そのままバスに乗る前提でいたほうがいいと思います。港にお手洗いがありますが、数が少なく女子トイレは長蛇の列になります。足もとはアクアシューズを履きっぱなしにするのがおすすめです。動画や写真を撮りたい方は防水スマホケースをお忘れなく!)

Sandbar Snorkeling Cruise サンドバー(砂州)シュノーケルクルーズ

Reviewed by: KEI

I participated thinking I could land on a sandbar and enjoy snorkeling in the shallow waters, as mentioned in the guidebook and tour advertisement.

However, on the day of my visit, the sandbar was underwater, at a depth of 1.2 meters, likely due to high tide. I wore a life jacket and enjoyed snorkeling, but unfortunately, I didn't encounter any fish.

I would have appreciated it if the tour advertisement had mentioned that the sandbar might not be visible depending on the tides. I recommend that those planning to participate check the high tide times in advance before signing up.

ガイドブックやツアー募集にあるようなサンドバー(砂州)に、上陸して浅瀬でシュノーケリングを楽しめるかと思い参加致しました。

参加日は満ち潮だったのか、サンドバーは海の下、水深1.2m下にありました。
ライフジャケット着用しシュノーケリングは楽しみましたが、魚には遭遇出来ず残念に終わりました。

The best option 最高のオプション

Reviewed by: Coo

We booked a plan with a banana boat and a paddle tube for the family. It was an exhilarating experience in the thrilling waters of Hawaii, almost feeling like we were going to be thrown off. We could enjoy snorkeling, kayaking, and SUP as we pleased.

The guide spoke fluent Japanese, so there were no issues. A light lunch was provided before swimming, which was just the right amount. We enjoyed live music on the boat, and there was a bottle to put tips in on the way back, which seemed optional.

Since it wasn't during a high tide, we could stand, but the water still reached up to our necks. Floating while gazing at the beautiful sea, fish, and the towering mountains felt uniquely Hawaiian. Even if it rained, it was just a passing shower. It gets cold when you come out of the water, so a jacket is essential. Having a waterproof phone case would have made it even better.

家族でパンパーチューブ、バナナボート付きのプランを申し込み。振り落とされそうなくらいスリル満点ハワイの海を体験。シュノーケリングにカヤック、SUPどれも好きなように楽しめます。
ガイドの方は流暢に日本語を話すので問題ありません。軽いランチも泳ぐ前には適量です。
船上ライブを聴きながら盛り上がり帰りに瓶があるのでチップを入れます。任意の様です。
大潮ではなかったので足はついても首まで海水がありました。きれいな海と魚、高山の山々を眺めながら浮かぶ気分はハワイならではと思います。雨が降っても通り雨。海から上がると寒いので上着は必須です。防水携帯ケースを持ってればもっと最高でした。

Do it!

Reviewed by: Raoury

Absolutely give it a go, had an amazing time. Compared to the outrageously expensive chartered cruises you can take to the sand bar this is by far the best way to do it. Just paddle out and take everything at your own pace. We ended up floating around with several turtles whilst on the sand bar and had an amazing four hours. Definitely the way to do it if you can handle the 40-minute paddle out there.

スタッフの皆さん良い人ばかり!

結論から言うと参加して良かったです!!
サンドバーは浅く小さな子どもも楽しめる海で、とても楽しみにしていました。当日は天気があまり良くなく、8月のお盆の夏真っ盛りなのに海の水がかなり冷たい!!シュノーケリングは魚もいっぱいいて、海の透明度も高く良かったですが、長く海に浸かってるのは冷たすぎるので難しかったです。
なので、サップやカヤックがとても楽しめました!!スタッフのお兄さんたちは皆さん陽気で優しくとても親切でした!

I was able to make a reservation the day before, and the pickup location and time were emailed to me right away, which was reassuring. I had heard that there could be trouble if you don't know the meeting place, but it was clear at the ABC Store, so there were no issues.

About 30 of us boarded the bus, and we left Waikiki, arriving at the pier in 45 minutes. There, a Japanese staff member joined us and provided a helpful explanation in advance. On the boat, we also enjoyed live music.

The activities included snorkeling, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding, and I was satisfied to have about two hours to use freely. However, since it was "do as you please," beginners should learn how to do each activity in advance.

About a quarter of the participants were Japanese. The staff were all friendly, and it was a fulfilling experience without any feelings of loneliness. I highly recommend it.

前日に予約がとれましたが、ピックアップの場所と時間は直ぐにメールされたので安心。待ち合わせの場所がわからずトラブルになるケースかあると聞いていましたが、ABCストア前でお店のナンバーが明快だったのでトラブルなし。
30人くらいでバスに乗り合わせ、ワイキキを出発して45分で埠頭に。そこで日本人スタッフがついて事前に説明していただいて助かりました。船中では弾き語りも楽しめました。
アクティビティはシュノーケリング、カヤック、SUPの3種類で、約2時間自由に使えたのは満足でした。ただ、お好きにどうぞ、なので初心者の方はそれぞれ事前にやり方を学んでおいた方がよいです。
日本人は1/4くらい。スタッフは皆さんフレンドリーで孤独感もなく充実したアクティビティでした。オススメです。

Awesome as always

Reviewed by: JYB

The only other ways to get to this beautiful gem is to rent a kayak and row your way here (appx 45mins each way, with no wind) or with another tour boat company. In Hawaii, the only way to a private boat is if you know someone who owns a boat, or if you are military (where you can rent the boat, but in Honolulu area).
I always enjoyed the going out to Kaneohe Bay with OSA.

Excellent Adventure!

Reviewed by: Connie

I was very excited about this adventure and can say it was my absolute favorite excursion on our 2wk vacation. My family also agrees.
The ride out to the sandbar was so lovely and relaxing with the live music. All of the staff was so friendly and check in and boarding went smoothly. The views from the sandbar were spectacular! We spent our time snorkeling, paddleboarding and soaking in the views. The live music playing from the boat really set the aloha mood. We would definitely book this excursion again!

Excellent experience

Reviewed by: Angela B

I enjoyed every aspect of this excursion, from the moment i was picked up from the pick up spot in Waikiki, to the excursion itself, and to the return back to Waikiki. The banana tubing and regular tubing was a lot of fun, i do find myself as a snorkeling junkie, so I mostly snorkeled the entire time. I saw some amazing fish in the reef. I felt very safe all day. My friend did the kayaking and SUPing and enjoyed their time. The musicians were amazing. I would like to thank everyone for such a great experience.

Must do activity in Oahu

Reviewed by: STB

Participated with 2 adults and 2 teens. We chose all included package with banana boat and bumper boat for the teens. They enjoyed the rides very much! Snorkeling was amazing, the area was shallow with reef areas. The water was so clear, we could see many fish easily. Tried kayak and SUP and both were so fun even for us as beginners. Music was amazing, staff was super kind and welcoming. If we had more days, we wanted to do it again!
