The ocean is beautiful after all!! やっぱり海がきれい!!

Reviewed by: ひろみるく

Unlike the ocean in Waikiki, it was truly clear and beautiful. There were also many tropical fish swimming around, making me feel like I was really in Hawaii. In the end, a few Japanese people and I played volleyball and had a great time. I plan to join this tour again the next time I come to Hawaii! It was fun.

ワイキキの海と違って、本当に透き通るようなきれいさでした。
また、南国のトロピカルな魚もたくさん泳いでいて、ハワイに来たんだなあという感じです。
最後は日本人何人かでバレーボールをやって盛り上がりました。
次、ハワイに来るときもこのツアーは参加しようと思います!楽しかった。

Kaneohe Bay is often cloudy. カネオヘ湾は曇りやすいです

Reviewed by: ハムハムヌクヌクアプーア

I signed up for a year-end tour.

On the morning of the day, Waikiki was sunny, but by the time we arrived at Kaneohe Bay, it was cloudy. According to another tour guide, the eastern side of the Hawaiian Islands tends to be cloudier and rainier compared to the southern and western sides.

The local staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring that we didn't drift too far from the buoys, which made it easy to enjoy the experience even with kids. It was a slightly chilly day, but there were enough canoes, SUPs, and snorkeling gear for everyone, even though the boat was nearly full. However, the donuts provided as a light snack ran out quickly, so I recommend securing them early.

年末のツアーに申し込みました。
当日朝のワイキキは晴れていたのですが、バスでカネオヘ湾に着く頃には曇天に。他ツアーのガイドに聞いた話だと、ハワイ諸島は島の東側は南側・西側に比べ曇天や雨になりやすいのだそうです。

現地スタッフの皆さんがフレンドリーで、風でブイより遠くに流されたりしないように、など良く見ていてもらえたので子連れでも安心してエンジョイできました。
少し肌寒い日でしたがほぼ満席でもカヌーやSAP、シュノーケリング用具が足りなくなることはありませんでした。
ただ、軽食として提供されるドーナツは早めに品切れとなるので早めの確保をお勧めします。

The sandwiches and the people were great! サンドイッチと人は最高でした!

Reviewed by: あや

This was my first time participating. The shuttle was over 15 minutes late, so I was really anxious about whether I was at the right meeting point. I thought that if there were a photo of the meeting place, it might reduce the number of people who are late.

I think the weather played a part, but the sea was very cold, which was tough for my daughters. If it was going to be this cold, it would have been nice to have a heads-up about bringing wetsuits for warmth. The local staff were very nice, and the sandwiches were delicious!

Thank you very much for participating in the tour. On the day of the tour, there were customers who arrived late at other pickup locations, which caused delays with the shuttle service, and we sincerely apologize for any concern this may have caused. Unfortunately, the weather was not very clear that day, and the water was cold, which did not meet your expectations, and we are truly sorry for that. We will share your feedback internally and use it to improve our services in the future. Thank you for your valuable comments. From all of us at KBOS staff.

It was a kayak-only rental, but the relaxed atmosphere of being able to freely use snorkeling gear and bicycles until closing time was fantastic. I even encountered a sea turtle while kayaking, which was amazing! Transporting the kayak to the sea was quite challenging.

Well organized tour. Tour has enough ppl to watch the full load of the onboard and plenty of equipments for each activity. They kept an close eye on everyone to assure our safety. Going with kids, to us, its a plus. I witnessed others who are seniorities and were given immediate assistance when needed. Great music band, good vocal and songs.

There were plenty of fish. There were also plenty of activities. It was so great that I felt like there wasn't enough time. 魚がいっぱい。アクティビティもいっぱい。時間が足りなく感じるぐらい最高でした。

Reviewed by: ヒナプリンス

I used the banana boat, and it was an incredibly thrilling experience due to the high speed. I also got to ride a canoe and encountered sea turtles. The staff provided fish food, which attracted a lot of fish, making snorkeling fantastic.

However, I went during low tide, and there was no visibility of land, with the water being deep enough that I could barely touch the bottom, so that was a bit disappointing.

自分はバナナボートを利用しました。かなり速度が出るため凄いスリリングな体験でした。またカヌーに乗ってウミガメにも出会うことが出来ました。魚用のエサをスタッフからもらえるので、たくさん魚が寄ってきて、シュノーケリングも最高でした。
ただ干潮の時間には行きましたが、陸地が見えるようなことはなく、脚がつくぐらいの深さ感でしたので、その点は残念でした。

Stand-up paddleboarding was fun! サップが楽しかった!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

The water was up to my chest, so it didn't really feel like a sandbar, but I had checked the tide schedule beforehand and knew it wouldn't recede much during the day, so I accepted it. I enjoyed kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding, and all the staff were fun and friendly, which made for a great experience. The music on the boat was also nice. I would love to see a real sandbar, which you can only see a few times a year.

胸あたりまで海水があったのでサンドバーって感じはしなかったですが事前に潮の満ち引きを調べてみたら昼間はそんなに引かないのがわかっていたのでまあ仕方ないという感じでした。
カヤックやサップが楽しめてスタッフさんがみんな楽しくいい方達だったので楽しく参加できました。船の中の音楽も良かったです。

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

Fantastic tour! Will definitely come back when we visit Oahu again!

Reviewed by: Chenwei

This tour is impressive. We two adults and one kid (5 years old) really enjoyed the tour. There are roughly 3 hours from leaving and back to the wharf, including the round trips (20 minutes), preparation and cleaning (20 minutes), and the total number at Sand bar for playing is about 2 hours 20 minutes, which is enough for playing kayak, paddle board, snookering, volleyball, and relaxing.

The place itself is safe. KBOS assigned one or two staffs for each kind of activity, and they provide help for whoever needs it. The water depth was 3~4 ft when we were there, and the staff said the water depth is 2~5 ft depending on the tides. Little kids friendly as long as they are not sacred of swimming.

Simple lunch and drink were provided. Live music on the boat. The staffs are really helpful and friendly. Highly recommend!

We self drive from Waikiki, which took us about 40 minutes before the lunch time. There are a lot of parking spots.

We will come back when we visit Oahu again.

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

Sandbar was the best experience we had in Hawaii!!

Reviewed by: Lala

Me and my husband did several activities in the Big Island and Oahu and the experience we had in the Sandbar was the best out of all. The reservation was easy and the staffs/crews on the boat were very friendly. They delivered the information and guideline very well and were willing to help. Kayaking was so fun and relaxing and snorkeling was amazing(I can't swim but the life vest they provided helped me to explore the ocean). We saw more fish than we did at Hanauma Bay. I definitely recommend this activity to everyone who visits Oahu. Next time I go, I would bring a jacket or an extra beach towel with me because I felt a little cold on the way back(They give you hot tea to help).

Kaneohe Bay Kayak & Snorkel Self-Guided Tour [Tour Not Available]

Must do experience in Oahu

Reviewed by: Tom

If you're looking for an experience where you can enjoy the waters of Oahu, have a chance to swim with Hawaiian green sea turtles, and want to take in the breathtaking views of the island then this is the tour to take. The staff is very friendly, and they'll give you tips on where to go.

Take the staff's recommendation to rent an anchor ($5) and a dry bag ($5). That way you can ensure your kayak will stay put and your things stay dry

The 4 hour trip was plenty to explore both major coral reef spots. The sandbar was recommended if you're looking to relax.

Reviewed by: pote

If you're expecting a sandbar where you can walk when the tide goes out, it might be a bit different. Still, I had a wonderful and elegant time with cheerful instructors, including some Japanese, and enjoyed live music on the boat.

There was a raft near the snorkeling, kayaking, and SUP spots, and spending time sunbathing while enjoying the view from there was fantastic.

While being pulled on a banana boat, I happened to see a sea turtle swimming nearby!

いわゆる、潮が引いて歩けるサンドバーを期待すると、ちょっと違うかもしれません。
それでも日本人も含む、陽気なインストラクターさんと、船内は生演奏の音楽もあってとても気持ちがよく優雅な時間を過ごせました。

シュノーケル、カヤック、SUPスポットの近くにイカダがあって、その上で景色を眺めながら日向ぼっこをしている時間も最高でした。

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

Disappointing

Reviewed by: Danielle

The staff was very friendly. However, the price of the ticket did NOT match the value of the experience.

The inside of the boat is in poor condition (holes in the ceiling tiles, visible mold, peeling paint, an overall unpleasant smell, etc.) The life jackets are old and mildewy, and the snorkeling gear should probably be upgraded.

The lunch (included in the ticket price, not free) consisted of a sandwich with 1 slice of dollar store quality lunch meat cut in half (it was supposed to be turkey but looked like bologna), pineapple slices, a few pieces of lettuce as salad, and an optional bag of chips. Your beverage options were either powder juice mix or water. Hot tea was served at the end.

For those expecting a bar when looking at the ticket price, NO alcohol is served. This seemed out of the ordinary compared to the other boat excursions I’ve been on, and the other guests were also surprised by this.

The live music was great until they started playing Christmas songs that could have passed for lullabies halfway into the trip. People were literally falling asleep. Since the weather wasn’t great (*not anyone’s fault*), it would’ve been nice if they played more upbeat tunes. Perhaps the majority of our ticket price goes to the live music fee since everything else was extremely lacking.

All the reviews I read and pictures I viewed before booking were great, and now they seem dishonest/misleading. Due to the nature of the issues I found (boat conditions, equipment conditions, and quality of food), I do not think my experience is unique or this was an “off” day.

Again, the staff was very friendly, and I do NOT place any blame on them. However, their friendless did not make up for the deficiencies I explained above.

Aloha Danielle, we are sorry that you didn't enjoy our tour. We shared your feedback with our crews, and we will discuss about better way to our customer satisfied (music, lunch and equipment etc.).

The weather is all up to chance. 天気ばかりは運次第

Reviewed by: わきこ

On the way to the point on a large boat, there was live ukulele music, and the service of drinks and lunch made it very comfortable. The canoe and SUP experiences were fun, and all the snorkeling equipment was provided, allowing us to enjoy without having to bring anything.

The day I went, the weather was bad with some rain, and it was cold without any sunshine, so there were few people in the water until the very end. However, the ukulele performance on the boat kept us entertained, so I was satisfied with this service. The warm drink service to warm up my chilled body was also a nice touch.

If the weather had been good, I think I could have enjoyed the breathtaking scenery, but that depends on luck. One complaint I have is that the parking lot at the port is not very large. I happened to find a spot, but I think those who came by rental car would have trouble if there were no available spaces.

大きな船でポイントに向かう途中もウクレレの生演奏もあり、飲み物や昼食のサービスもありとても快適だった。カヌーやsap体験も楽しくシュノーケリングも道具も全て用意してあり手ぶらで楽しめる。
私が行った日は天気が悪く雨混じりで日が差さず寒くて、時間いっぱいまで海に入って居る人が少なかったが、船に上がってもウクレレ演奏で楽しませてくれるので、このサービスを選んで満足です。冷えた体を温めるあったかい飲み物のサービスも心に染みました。

天気が良ければこの世ならぬ美しい景色を堪能出来たとは思うがこればかりは運次第。
一つ不満があるとすれば港の駐車場がそんなに広くないので、私はたまたまうまく空いたところに止められたが、止めるスペースがなければレンタカーできた人は困ると思う。

Overall good but injuries were not fun

Reviewed by: Peach

I really enjoyed the friendly people whoever was leading the tour and also the live music, it was fabulous! But I would have to say , they didn’t do good for the safety part… I got injured from the snorkeling because it was my first time ever, I definitely lacked of knowledge about how to snorkel safely, and no one was giving instructions about how to stay safe in the ocean. I got injured from accidentally hitting the coral, I never know the coral can be that close to people (I never had ocean experience). I also was not the only person that was injured, another strong man, he was attacked by jellyfish. Hopefully they can do better for the safety instructions.

I participated with my 50-year-old aunt and 73-year-old aunt, and we had a great time! We made a reservation for three people, but you can also participate with two people by paying for three. Just make sure to inform them that you are a party of two. The waves were great, and we were able to ride three waves right away, so our experience ended up being about 30 minutes, but it was very satisfying. Thank you!

50歳(♀)と73歳の叔母での参加でしたが、とても楽しめました!!
こちらは3名からの予約となっていますが、2名参加でも3名分の料金を払えば体験できます。その際には2名参加である事を伝える必要あり。
波も良くて、すぐに3本の波に乗ることが出来た為、体験時間は30分ほどで終わってしまいましたが大満足の体験でした。ありがとうございます!

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

Staff was amazing!

Reviewed by: Tiff

Just the perfect amount of time at the sandbar. There’s a platform if you don’t want to be in the water. There’s canoes and stand up paddle boards.
It was a fun experience over all.
Also included was snorkeling.

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

Unique experience, great service, memorable day!!!

Reviewed by: Kate

Having been to a few islands and done various activities, the Kaneohe Sandbar was a unique experience. Standing in the bay very far from shore, being able to look at the windward coast while SUP'ing and snorkeling and generally hanging out was so memorable. On top of that, the guides were so great and friendly, the donut and tang tasty treats and music from live performers was an unreal touch.

This was a great way to get exposure to a bunch of activities without exhausting yourself getting out to the sandbar on a rented kayak. Being able to BYOB and not worry about how that will affect your trip back to the dock was a super bonus!

NOTE: the snorkeling on the sandbar is super limited since the water is only waist-deep. Great for beginners and kiddos, but if you want a more snorkel focused tour, search around for that.

The Pure Land existed. While listening to a ukulele performance, we took a boat to a diving spot, dove in a place with beautiful coral reefs and many fish, and enjoyed canoeing. I was able to create unforgettable memories.

極楽浄土が存在しました。ウクレレの演奏を聴きながら、ダイビングスポットまで船で行き、綺麗なサンゴ礁と魚がたくさんいるところでダイビングし、カヌーにのって楽しみました。忘れられない思い出をつくることができました。
