Really a good time with fresh lunch and good live music. Banana boats were a blast I laughed so hard. There was crew out on the sandbar showing us sea life and it was great!
We are very happy that you enjoyed our tour. Mahalo! - Team KBOS
Had a good time. Would recommend them to anyone. Very professional.

We had a wonderful time on this adventure to the north shore on Oahu. Cousin G was our guide and he did a great job taking care of us and keeping things lively. He was so knowledgeable of the history and the area and all the ins and outs of where to go. He was really funny, too! Waimea falls was beautiful and the next stop we opted for paddle boarding. We didn't see any sea turtles, but it was still fun and peaceful. We had a small group of 10, which I don't think is usual, but it was a treat for us because we could move around easily and quickly get in and out of places. We'd highly recommend this to anyone!!
A little difficult to navigate and see things. You’re on your own, so you’ll really need to be cognizant of the area and where to anchor down. Sand bar was a bit out, but was a great experience. Not for beginners but also not terribly difficult. Bring a watch or phone, the kayaks are very stable and didn’t tip on us when trying to get back in. Staff was great
Aloha Tee Gee! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure! And thank you for taking the time to leave this great review. All very good feedback and we certainly appreciate it. Definitely good for people to know that you are going on your own so you definitely do have to be aware of a few important things. Hopefully our staff did a good job briefing you on all of that, glad to hear it sounds like they were good to you! And glad to hear overall it sounds like you had a good experience kayaking with us. We hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!
Great fun for my family with teenagers and friends! Something to do for everyone /)
Yes, there really is something for everyone to do at the sandbar. Mahalo! -Team KBOS
Such an amazing experience, All the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. They helped with everything, the live music was amazing and added to the experience. Great vocals by Jesse! Highly recommend! 5 stars!!
We appreciated your time for this review, kind words for our crew, and recommendation. Mahalo! - Team KBOS
We had a wonderful morning! The team working the adventure was helpful and knowledgeable. We highly recommend it! Our family of 4 ( 2 adults and 2 children: age 11 and 6) and our friend that was visiting has a blast kayaking, SUP and hanging out on the floating island. Music was awesome! My kids love the lemonade and donuts.
Mahalo for your review and nice picture! - Team KBOS
The sea was beautiful, and I saw a lot of fish. It was shallow, so the distance to the coral was close. There are various activities included, so you can really enjoy yourself.
海も綺麗でお魚が沢山みれました。
浅いので珊瑚との距離が近かったです。
アクティビティが色々ついているのでしっかり楽しめます
We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the tour. Thank you very much for participating. From all of us at KBOS.

Me and my partner had a great time. Staff was great and informative. My partner must learn to kayak bad work with me. A great team building excercise. I of course made no errors and had to correct the many errors of my partner . Thank you for a fun time.
Aloha Roman! 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! Those tandem kayaks certainly are a team building, relationship counseling type of activity for sure! Glad to hear you and your partner had a great time, and we hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!
LOVED kayaking in the ocean instead of chartering a boat/catamaran out to the sandbar. Spent most of our time on the largest, and should of rowed over to where a guide had nicely dropped a pin for us, but due to time stopped at a closer one, and still got to see A LOT of different fish, SO COOL! and sea life while snorkeling, but no turtles. Great snorkel gear, no fins, but didn't need them. A waterproof cell case is advisable, a hardcase one altho more expensive would of been better, as the water's current pushed against the soft plastic and turned off the video while shooting. Another tip, I'm glad I got water sandals that strapped on, to walk on the sandbar. The water was warm and so clear, and the view of the Koolau Mountains are majestic.
If you have any questions, give em' a call, Andy was so helpful and gracious.
Kamaaina Kayak and Snorkel Eco-Venture IS THE ONE TO BOOK not only is He'eia State Park right at the bay's edge, where the crew helps you launch right into the water. Renting is a bargain and not-for-profit, proceeds help to fund the park, which is managed by Kama'aina Kids, a local childcare org that serves as stewards to the park.
Aloha Susan! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure! And thank you for taking the time to leave this absolutely amazing review! We appreciate that so much and this is so, so awesome and gratifying to hear that you had this kind of experience with us and this kind of experience kayaking and snorkeling in Kane'ohe Bay. It looks like you had a really beautiful day out there. You'll have to come back and do it again soon and find those turtles next time! Mahalo nui loa for your support, and hope to see you again soon!
Great trip and highly recommended. The crew and live music were great and the activities included (paddle board, kayak, snorkel, volleyball) kept me and my wife busy during our time at the sandbar. We also saw live coral and a ton of fish as well as an octopus hiding near the anchor. Definitely a tour anyone should consider if they haven't visited the sandbar before. Having the boat also allowed us to avoid the sun and stay hydrated after the activities, sometime we wouldn't have been able to do if we had kayaked over from the harbor on our own.

What can I say about “uncle” Kevin…he was the best! He’s filled with so much information about the island and we could sit and listen for hours. We did snorkeling and SUP. While snorkeling we saw a whale! While SUP we saw turtles…AMAZING!!!
The tour was absolutely amazing, the experience was so fun. I suggested my family and friends to visit hawaii and book the Kaneohe sand bar!y boyfriend and I had so much fun and the staffs were so friendly and helpful and so patient with everyone! The bay was so beautiful and calm, the water so clear and clean, we felt super safe while being there. We definitely enjoyed the water activities that was included in the package, I will definitely return and re book with you guys. We had a blast!

Beautiful ocean and amazing environment. The performers were great in the tunes and songs they played as well as their positive atmosphere!! the activities available are plenty and so much fun!
Mahalo for the review! - Team KBOS
Uncle Kevin was awesome. Friendly n funny great host/driver. Enjoyed our tour had a great time we did hike to waterfall n kayaking. Worth the money. I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to enjoy north shore with some history/information. Read in other review that it was rushed but that’s not how it was at all at least not with our driver uncle Kevin.
We booked the all inclusive package and our salon team loved every min! The crew was fantastic and it was an unforgettable experience! Totally worth every penny!
Mahalo for your great review! - Team KBOS
Kaneohe ocean sports at the sandbar was amazing! We started with either glazed or chocolate donuts with lemonade. When we got to the sandbar they had a variety of activities including kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, volleyball and snorkeling. We loved the snorkeling! They took us to an area of the sandbar that was still shallow enough to stand but had plenty of coral to swim around and explore. Staff was friendly and constantly kept watch over the participants, making this a safe and enjoyable environment. Overall would definitely recommend especially for families
Mahalo for your review and sharing experience! - Team KBOS
It was so much fun for everyone and there was so many things to do! We had a blast and will definitely be back to do it again! The crew, captains and musicians were all awesome and made the excursion awesome! Thank you!!!
Mahalo for your review and kind words for our crew. Come back soon! - Team KBOS
Staff were excellent and I would highly recommend that lunch excursion. We upgraded for the banana boat ride for our granddaughters when checking in. We were offered to ride in the boat so that we could get videos of the girls on the ride.
Water was shallow and bit difficult to snorkel.
Parking is at a premium and I had to wait in the lot until someone pulled out.

I highly recommend visiting this place, incredibly beautiful views with emerald blue water. The service is perfect! Will definitely come back again.

Love:
- beverage and donuts onboard
- live music —> huge plus
- lots of equipment and activities
- staff are amazing! Very friendly and helpful
- love how you are almost guaranteed to see the corals and fish — great exp
What can be improved:
- the area is very limiting, so you can’t go too far with the kayak or SUP
