We travelled to the Oahu to enjoy our vacation and thought about to explore the Kaneohe Bay. And then we found out the Kayak Kaneohe activity online and we booked it! The trip is way beyond our expectation. Before the activity date, the trip organizer will send us all the detailed information about the activity date, etc where to meet, the kayak route. On the activity date, although we were about 15 minutes late, the trip organizer still waited us there and didn't complain anything. When we arrived, he helped us to equip the Kayak to our car and taught us how to wear the safe jacket and pull the Kayak into the water. He is super nice and knowledgeable.
It took us around 1 hour to Kayak to the sandbar. The view was very nice during the Kayak experience. When we arrived the sandbar, although the weather was not very nice but the water was still super clean. We have snorkeled in the Sandbar about half an hour and then we kayaked back to the harbor point. The whole trip took us about 4 hours. Although the Kayak was a little bit challenging, we still highly recommend to book this trip! It was very fun to explore the Kaneohe Bay Sandbar!

It was a particularly windy day, and perhaps because it was somewhat cloudy, the water was cold, and everyone was getting in with blue lips. The water was about adult chest height, making it quite difficult for a 5-year-old to move around without assistance. It may not have been suitable for small children. There were other kids present, but they all seemed to be in a bad mood after getting in the water. The babies were crying loudly. Since it was quite cold after entering the water, I recommend bringing a long-sleeved change of clothes.
However, the guides were all friendly and kindly explained things in broken Japanese. I think it would have been enjoyable if the weather had been nice and there hadn't been any wind.
ちょうど風が強い日で、曇り気味だったせいか、水が冷たくてみなさん唇真っ青になりながら水に入っていました。大人の胸くらいまで水深で、5歳児にとっては補助なしでは水の中を移動するのもやっとでした。小さい子ども向けのアクティビティではなかったかもしれません。他にもお子さんがいらっしゃいましたが、どの子も入水後は機嫌が悪そうでした。ましてや赤ちゃんなんてギャン泣きしてました。入水後かなり寒かったので長袖の着替えを持っていくことをお勧めします。
でも、ガイドさんたちはみんなフレンドリーで日本語もカタコトながら親切に説明してくれました。天気が良くて、風さえなければ楽しかったと思います。

There’s no point in going out to sea just to see nothing but water.
The text should clearly state that the beach is not visible during the travel time. If I had known that, I wouldn’t have made the reservation.

This activity was so much fun and absolutely worth it. Purchasing was easy, directions and parking was super easy. We drove our own car from air b&b in Waikiki. Little store in parking area for last minute drink/snack purchases. We brought our own floaters. The ride to sand bar on boat was nice and smooth with live music! The time on sandbar was amazing. The views all around were so so pretty! The kayak/paddle boarding was so much fun! Def bring your own drinks and snacks. Would definitely repeat!

Uncle Kevin was a great guide, the whole group was nice and we spent more time together than expected.
The activities were so/so - and quite short for some. Also Turtle beach stop was cancelled while other stops (unplanned) took a while.
We saw a lot and learned about Hawaiian culture and life.

It was amazing. As soon as we boarded, we received lunch, and they wrapped it for those who planned to eat later. It was almost my first time snorkeling, but they provided thorough explanations, and when I looked into the sea, there were so many fish, I was very satisfied. It was definitely a good idea to bring marine shoes; they are a must. For other activities, we didn't have to wait in line; we did them as they became available. If you plan to use the snorkeling mask again later, keep it at your seat on the boat. There was one men's restroom and two women's restrooms, which I used several times. It was helpful because I started to feel cold while in the water and needed to go to the restroom. The restrooms were quite clean. After playing for an hour and a half with breaks in between, it was enough, and we went back to the boat to change and enjoy lunch leisurely. I dislike shuttle buses, so I used Uber for both trips. It cost about $50 to $60 one way from Waikiki. The staff spoke a little Japanese, but all the safety instructions were in English, so I thought it would have been better if there was something written in Japanese for Japanese guests. This became the best memory of my trip to Hawaii.
最高でした。乗船してすぐランチを受け取るのですが、後で食べるつもりの人にはラップしてくれます。スノーケリングはほぼ初めてでしたが、説明をしっかりしてくれて、海の中をのぞくともう沢山の魚がいて大満足。マリンシューズは持って行って正解。持参必須です。他のアクティビティも順番を待つという感じではなく、空いているものからやりました。スノーケリングマスクは、後でまた使う場合は船の自分の座席に置いておく。トイレは男用1つ、女性用2つあり、何回か利用。海に入っていると寒くなってトイレに行きたくなるので助かりました。充分キレイなお手洗いでした。途中休憩しながら1時間半も遊んだらもう充分で、船に上がって着替えてゆっくりランチを食べました。送迎車が嫌いなので往復ともUberTAXIを利用。片道ワイキキから50〜60ドル。スタッフは少し日本語もできましたが、注意事項の説明とかは全部英語だったので、日本人向けに日本語で書いたものでもあったらもっと良かったと思いました。今回のハワイ旅行で一番の思い出になりました。

The check in and out process were quick and smooth as long as you have reservation. You can pay by card too.
You can rent out the kayaks and snorkeling gear on site.
Debriefing session is nice and short and they give you a map and show you the best spots to snorkel and sandbar.
The only hard thing is that it is hard to determine where the snorkeling parts were at even with the map. Once you are at sea, its hard to find landmarks. Adding landmarks would be helpful. The sandbar was so nice!
Aloha Lance! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure, and thank you for taking the time to leave this review and feedback for us. We really appreciate that. Looks like you had a beautiful day at the sandbar. That's great. Hope to see you again soon. Mahalo!

I participated in this activity because I heard you could do activities in Heaven's Sea. There were a lot of participants, so we were a bit delayed in departing. On the boat, there were two singers who kept the atmosphere lively until we reached the sandbar, making it feel like a club.
After about ten minutes, we arrived at Heaven's Sea, and I was impressed by how clear and beautiful the water was. However, the water level was about chest-high, which was disappointing as it was similar to a regular sea. On the plus side, we were able to enjoy activities like stand-up paddleboarding, canoeing, and snorkeling, so we had a lot of fun playing around.
天国の海でアクティビティーもできるということでこちらに参加しました。
参加人数が多くわちゃわちゃして出発が少し遅れていました。船内では2人の歌い手がいてサンドバーに着くまで盛り上げてくれクラブみたいでした。
10分程で天国の海に着き水は透明で綺麗で感激しました。ただ水位は胸ぐらいまであり、通常の海とかわらずで残念でした。
その分supやカヌーがシュノーケリングなどできたので沢山遊べて楽しかったです。

We've been to Honolulu a number of times and only found this awesome tour this visit!
Apart from the weather, wow what an amazing trip it was.
The sandbar is obviously tidal which wasn't in our favour but the water was warm and low enough where you could walk along the ocean floor to the floating barge for a sit and relax in the open.
The only thing I could suggest is that they serve drinks as well at an extra cost or even include it in the price.
Would do this tour again in a heart beat...hopefully with lots of sunshine next time

Snorkeling was a bit painful as I bumped my shin on the coral and scraped it, but kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding were fun. The staff were kind and friendly. The highlight was when I was paddleboarding and they said, "Look, there's a turtle!" and took me right over to see it. I was so moved to see a swimming turtle up close for the first time. Thank you, Hideo & Midori.
