Oahu
This was a great day after wedding activity. We made this an optional activity for our friends and family the day after our wedding ceremony. The live music and stories on board were even better than we expected and they knew and played our first dance song! the views and experience are really special. We had done a smaller catamaran experience before but halfway through the wedding party for that wedding were all getting seasick (partially from hangovers but the rocking didn't help). This boat is large enough you don't feel a thing and it's in the bay with calmer waters. I highly recommend!
Mahalo for your review and nice picture! - Team KBOS
I was able to enjoy various activities freely within the time limit. There were few Japanese customers and staff, but there were staff members who could speak Japanese, so it wasn't a problem. However, I felt that the free time was quite long.
いろんなアクティビティを時間内に自由に遊ぶことができました。日本人のお客さん、スタッフは少なかったですが、日本語を話せるスタッフがいるので問題なかったです。ただ自由時間が結構長かったかなという印象です。
Thank you for participating in the tour and for sharing your photos. From all of us at KBOS.

First timers here! Crew is VERY organized and well experienced! From the moment we checked in t thru departing the crew handled customers with so much respect. .
Live band with GREAT, the funnies were actually funny and the activities were super fun! So happy to have experienced those with my family.
Would definitely pick this company again if I return to vacation in Hawaii.
Mahalo for sharing your experience and the picture! We look forward to seeing you again. - Team KBOS
Kayaking was really fun, but unfortunately, the weather was terrible. It was pouring rain, so I gave up. I wanted to do more. It was tough carrying everything on the sandy beach.
In the afternoon, it cleared up, and I had a great time playing with the bodyboard. It felt amazing when I was able to ride the waves! I wish the weather had been better.
カヤックはすごく楽しかったけど、あいにく天気。どしゃぶりだったので、諦めました。もっとしたかったです。砂浜で運ぶのが大変でした。
午後は晴れてきたので、ボディーボードをして遊んだのがすごく楽しかった。波に乗れたときはすごく気持ちよかった!
天気が良ければなーと残念です
Dear Akki,

I like this activity a lot because the team is nice. They play music and sing songs which makes the vibe very enjoyable. Activities included snorkeling, paddle boarding, kayaking, and beach volley.
Mahalo for the review! - Team KBOS
My family and I really enjoyed the sandbar tour. We did AM tour without lunch. Donuts and beverages were provided. I enjoyed snorkeling, paddle boarding, the live music, and friendliness of the crew. I recommend the sandbar tour and would do it again.
Mahalo for your review! - Team KBOS
It was great to travel by boat while listening to live music; it really added to the experience. Although we didn't go to a sandbar, the sea was beautiful, and we saw plenty of fish swimming around. Even as a beginner, I was taught carefully, and there were no dangerous spots at all. I could feel that all the staff were eager to make it enjoyable for everyone. However, I was disappointed that while the Japanese staff were very friendly to foreigners, they didn't seem as welcoming to Japanese guests.
生演奏を聴きながらの、船での移動盛り上がってとても良かったです。
サンドバーにはならなかったのですが、海も綺麗で魚が泳ぐところを沢山見れました。初心者でも丁寧に教えて頂き、危ないところは、ひとつもなかったです。スタッフのみんなも楽しませようという姿勢が感じられました。ただ、日本人のスタッフが外人には凄く良いのに対して、日本人にはあまり感じよくなかったので、がっかりしました。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We are glad to hear that you were able to enjoy the tour with peace of mind, but we sincerely apologize for any discomfort caused by our staff's attitude. We will share your feedback with our team and use it to improve our services further. Thank you for your valuable comments. 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。安心してツアーを楽しんで頂けた様ですが弊社スタッフの態度によって不快な思いをさせてしまい大変申し訳ございませんでした。頂きましたご意見はスタッフ内で共有させて頂き、更なるサービス向上に向けて役立てていく所存です。貴重なご感想を頂きありがとうございました。KBOS スタッフ一同
The plan included lunch. The people around us at our assigned seats were already eating or had finished their meals, so we thought we should go get our food ourselves. When I asked if I could take this (something like a sandwich), a Japanese woman came over and said not to take it because the staff would bring it. However, no one brought us lunch no matter how long we waited. The staff had said they would bring it, but they didn't. There was a lack of responsibility. It wasn't a cheap tour, and since it was stated that lunch was included, we went without eating... I even went to get it because that person said they would bring it. The way she said it was quite harsh. What should have been a fun activity turned into an unpleasant memory. I swam on an empty stomach, felt unwell, and couldn't enjoy myself. It's really disappointing because the other crew members were very kind and friendly.
プランには昼食つきとありました。席を振り分けられ座った場所の周囲の人たちはすでに食事中か食事が済んでいたので自分たちで食事をとりに行くのだと思い取りに行ってコレ(サンドイッチのようなもの)を持って行っていいか聞くと日本人?の女の人がやってきてスタッフが持ってくるから取るなと言いました。しかし待っても待っても誰も昼食を私達に運んではくれませんでした。
スタッフが持ってくると日本人?の女のスタッフは言ったのに持ってこなかった。 責任感が無さすぎる。安いツアーでもないのに昼食があるって書いてたからわざわざ食べずに行ったのに...それもわざわざ取りに行ったのに持ってくるとあの人は言いました。言い方もかなりキツめでした。楽しいはずのアクティビティーが嫌な思い出になった。 空腹のまま泳いで気分も悪いし楽しめませんでした。他のクルーの人達はとても親切で優しかったから本当に残念です。
I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience regarding lunch this time. Unfortunately, we were unable to provide lunch, and I regret that this has affected what should have been an enjoyable experience for you.
In response to this incident, we held an urgent meeting with the crew to prevent a recurrence. We will ensure that such issues do not happen again in the future. While I cannot guarantee that this will improve your mood, we have decided to refund the cost of lunch in hopes of making amends.
Once again, I apologize sincerely. I am truly sorry.

The incredible hospitality of the crew made our whole experience that much better. Great snorkeling for beginners. Donuts were yummy. Awesome music. Sandbar is a must do activity! This crew will go out of their way to make sure you have a good and safe experience!
Mahalo for joining our tour and your kind words! We're so glad to hear that you had a good experience and felt safe, which is our top priority. -Team KBOS
This excursion was unmatched! The water was pristine, the crew had the best vibes, they all want you to have a good time & we did! Unforgettable!
Mahalo for your review and the beautiful picture! - Team KBOS
This was my third time at Sandbar, and I was finally able to participate on a day that truly felt like "this is Sandbar!"
As soon as my Hawaii trip dates were set, I checked the tide levels and made a reservation for a day that coincided with the low tide, which only happens a few times a year.
Thank you to the friendly staff. I was able to enjoy skin diving, stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, and other marine sports in excellent conditions with the blue sea and white sandy shallows.
If you go to Hawaii, you absolutely must experience this amazing adventure!
サンドバー3回目にして、まさしく
これがサンドバー!という日に参加できました
ハワイ旅行の日程が決まった時点で潮位を調べてそれが年に数回という干潮にあたる日に合わせて予約をさせていただきました。
気さくなスタッフの方々ありがとうございました。
青い海、浅瀬の白い砂という好コンディションの中でスキンダイビング、SAP、カヤック…マリンスポーツを堪能できました。
ハワイに行った際は是非是非この感動を体験しない手はありません!
It seems that you had the experience you were expecting this time! Thank you very much for participating in the tour. From all of us at KBOS.
今回は期待していた通りの体験ができた様ですね!ツアーへご参加i頂き誠にありがとうございました。KBOS スタッフ一同
The sandbar activity was a very enjoyable and unique experience. The boat ride over is short (15 min.) with great music and a decent sandwich lunch. We did the SUP and snorkeled. Lots of fish to see. Plenty of time to do all the activities. The tide was high, about 4 feet but still so much fun. Made it better for snorkeling. Staff was so friendly and helpful.
Mahalo for sharing your experience! - Team KBOS
This experience is definitely worth it. The staff and crew are so lovely, fun, and energetic, they brighten up your day as you head out to the sandbar. Their experience and overall "good vibes" makes the trip so enjoyable as you get to experience an amazing time out in the sandbar with music, activities, food, and community. Do it!
Mahalo for your review and kind words! We are very happy that you enjoyed our tour. Hope you will join us again. - Team KBOS
Wonderful time with the family and the staffs and both singers were main reason why we would love to visit Hawaii again. Aloha and until next time.
Mahalo for your review. We look forward to seeing you again. - Team KBOS
We went with a group of good friends. We had such a good time. The waves were perfect. Will go again when we are in Oahu.
Aloha! The outrigger canoe is such a thrill, especially to experience together with good friends! We are so happy to hear the waves were perfect that day. We hope to have you back again sometime soon. We appreciate you taking the time to write a review and leave us a 5 star rating. Mahalo
You will be picked up near the hotel and take a drive of about 30 minutes to the port.
Upon arrival at the port, you will transfer to a large boat that can accommodate around 60 people and head towards the sandbar. On the boat, donuts and drinks will be served, and there will be live Hawaiian music.
Once you arrive at the sandbar, you can do whatever you like, such as stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), kayaking, or snorkeling. Please note that there are limited SUP and kayak options, so you may have to wait your turn.
Afterward, you will return to the port by boat, then take a bus back to the location where you were picked up.
Since the bus seats are fabric, it's a good idea to bring a towel to sit on.
ホテルの近くでピックアップしてもらい、車で30分程度ぼドライブして港にむかいます。
港に到着したら60人位が乗り込める大型の船に移動して、船でサンドバーにむかいます。船の上ではドーナツや飲み物が配られ、ハワイアンミュージックの生演奏もあります。
サンドバーに到着したらSUPやカヤック、シュノーケリングなど各自やりたいことをやります。SUPとカヤックは数に限りがあるので、順番待ちになることもあります。
終わったらまた船で港に戻り、バスに乗り込みピックアップされた場所で降ろされます。
バスのシートは布製なので、座るところに敷く用のタオルを持っていくと良いです。
Aloha sss,
We are glad you participated in our tour and enjoyed it.

Had a fantastic time on this tour! Our guide was great - fun and knowledgeable - and made the whole experience worth it! The ocean, river and all around area where we kayaked were beautiful - and the icing on the cake was the abundance of turtles! One of our favourite activities and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone - and wouldn't hesitate to do it again if I was ever lucky enough to return to Oahu!
We thank you for such a great review. We are so excited to read what a wonderful experience you all had. We do hope you'll come back soon to see us again.
Mahalos!
All the activities were so fun. The LIVE music was GREAT! Had soooo much fun. Definitely recommended!!!!!! Staff was super friendly.
We're so glad you had a fun with our tour. Mahalo! - Team KBOS
The crew was wonderful! The musicians were amazing! If you don't have time to try different water activities on your trip, this is a great way to hit a lot of them. We were able to SUP, kayak, swim, lounge, and snorkel (the sandbar reef actually had quite a few different types of fish to see and since it is so shallow, it is a lot easier to snorkel here). They provide life jackets for all the activities and snorkel gear. We also did the banana boat and bumper activities and it was quite the adrenaline rush. For banana boat, they grouped us with two other pairs of people so we filled up the banana boat (holds 6 people), which made it more stable but half of us still fell off. It was very fun and quite an experience. There is definitely enough time to try everything. Their boat is pretty big so very stable and not likely to induce seasickness. They have two women's bathrooms, one men's, and one changing room. They provide donuts and water/juice but you can also bring your own food/drinks. There are plenty of tables and shelf storage underneath so your items aren't on the floor and won't get wet. Overall, a great time!
Mahalo for your review and sharing your experience! - Team KBOS
Really fun experience. Suitable for couples or family or friends. We had lots of fun kayaking and snorkeling
Mahalo for your review! - Team KBOS
We signed up for the basic course for two people and enjoyed kayaking and snorkeling. After kayaking, we went snorkeling, but since I'm not comfortable in deep water, I thought it would have been better to borrow a life jacket. It was also fun to travel by bike to the snorkeling spot. Since it was a self-guided course without a guide, I felt a bit anxious, but I was grateful that Natsue, a Japanese staff member, kindly assisted us, so we were able to enjoy ourselves without any issues. I hope to participate again next time and challenge myself to kayak a bit further and hopefully encounter a honu (sea turtle).
女2人で基本コースを申し込みカヤック、シュノーケルを楽しみました。
カヤック後にシュノーケルをしましたが深いところが苦手なのでライフジャケットを借りたら尚よかったなと思いました。
シュノーケルは自転車で移動したのも楽しかったです。
現地集合ガイド無しコースだったので少し不安がありましたが、日本人スタッフのなつえさんが親切に対応してくれたので困る事なく過ごすことができてよかった、感謝です。
次回も参加してカヤックで少し遠くまでチャレンジしホヌにも出会えたいいなと思います。
Dear Nicnico,
Thank you for participating in the tour. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed kayaking and snorkeling. Please come visit us again next time to see the honu. We look forward to welcoming you.

It was a very nice tour. It takes us out to the Kaneohe sandbar while providing live music entertainment. After arrival, we could choose to do a variety of activities including snorkelling, paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming or just relaxing at a floating lounge. You will be able to see coral reef and fish there. Staff is there to help and supervise. You can leave your belongings at the boat. The good thing about being in the middle of water is that your belongings are safe. I recommend wearing some kind of footwear on the sandbar because the sand there could be a little rough. Overall a very nice way to spend a morning or afternoon. Time flew by fast.
Mahalo for sharing your experience! - Team KBOS
Loved every moment! All of the crew was so helpful and kind, from the time we got on board and even with the water events (kayaking and paddle boarding). The musicians were top notch, such beautiful voices. Highly recommend and will definitely do this again.
Mahalo for your review! We look forward to seeing you again. - Team KBOS
They were very friendly people, and I had a great time!
The snorkeling in the shallow waters was filled with fish, and I was completely absorbed.
I also received instruction on how to ride the kayak and SUP.
The boat rides back and forth were very nice while listening to music.
とても気さくな人たちで楽しく過ごせました!
浅瀬でのシュノーケリングは魚がいっぱいて、夢中でした。
カヤックやSUPも乗り方から教えていただきました。
船内での行き帰りも歌を聞きながらでとても良かった

This was a great experience, being able to snorkel and see the sandbar! Highly recommend! Everyone is very informative
Aloha Ellen! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure! And thank you for taking the time to leave this awesome review. We really appreciate that. So stoked to hear you had an awesome kayaking and snorkeling experience with us and that our staff gave you good info. We really appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!
The crew was amazing and so helpful! KBOS seems to have an area all to themselves, so it felt like we were on a private island. There are opportunities to do a lot of activities with plenty of time so you don’t ever feel rushed.
Mahalo for your review! - Team KBOS
We had a great time on this trip!
It was very relaxing and fun! The stuff took care of us and made sure we were safe. We snorkeled, saw some fish, we did kayaking and paddle boarding and relaxed on a floating island with chairs. Lunch was also great! Music was so beautiful and fun! And the stuff took awesome photos of us! Thank you!
Would do this again!
Mahalo for your review and the beautiful pictures! We are so glad to know that you had a great time! - Team KBOS

Even as someone approaching their sixties, I was able to enjoy the bumper tubes and banana boat. The sea was beautiful, and I had a great experience.

Secret Island is a very special place for our family. my daughter got a wedding in Moli'i garden and secret island during Covid.
we have a wonderful memory of her wedding with our closed family and friends only under 20 people.
it was a magical experience,so we had been always talking how we can go back to the island.
and we finally planned a family trip to Hawaii this spring, and we have been searched many different websites which offers a tour to the secret island.
this website did not have many reviews compared to other major travel websites, but their prices were the best so we decided to give it a shot.
and the decision was the best!
the reservation process, confirmation, instructions and everything was GREAT!
it was a little bit of cold and rainy day so we were the only group going to the island that day. we basically rented the entire island to ourselves.
we highly recommend this webstie for Kualoa ranch tour!
