Memorable Morning
Activity Date: 2022/06/29 | Posted on: 2022/07/23

What a fun way to spend half a day. The musicians on the ride out to the sandbar were very entertaining. Once we got to the sandbar we especially enjoyed snorkeling and hanging out on the floating dock. Feel free to take a cooler (with booze if you so choose)! Grabbed a breakfast sandwich from a little shop right next to the boat and it was delish.

Check the tide before booking
Activity Date: 2022/07/14 | Posted on: 2022/07/19

Check the tide before booking the trip. You can only walk around in shallow water that Sandbar is known for on a low tide hour. If you want to snorkel or ride kayak then this trip will make you happy.

A really good tour with an excellent tour guide that gave tons of Hawaiian history. The snorkeling spot was incredibly rocky and definitely not for a beginner or child. Loved all the hawaiin history and "Cap" was great but not worth the money in my opinion.

We had a great experience on the sandbar. The views were gorgeous and water was fantastic. This was a great time with family and friends. The staff and musicians were very friendly and helpful. Even in the water they assisted with using the water sport equipment. I highly recommend booking this event with friends and family.

Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Hawaiian Music - Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports
Super fun vibe
Activity Date: 2022/07/12 | Posted on: 2022/07/15

Very fun vibe. Crew was fun and helpful. The live music was spectacular. We loved snorkeling! It was nice that you could do activities whenever you wanted and for how long you wanted. We did the afternoon and got our lunch as we boarded and it was good. Tide was higher, so we couldn't play volleyball but we got to go tubing and it was perfect for snorkeling. If you want a lower water level/less waves at the sand bar, I would say do the morning but we liked sleeping in and it was perfect for us as a couple. Families seemed to really enjoy it as well. I was really looking forward to this excursion and it met my high expectations for sure! Book it!

Smooth Sailing!
Activity Date: 2022/07/09 | Posted on: 2022/07/15

Overall, the day went smoothly! The staff gave us lots of advice on where to kayak out to: whether we wanted to go to the sandbar or out snorkelling to see some sea animals. It took us an hour to get out to the sandbar and about 45 minutes to get back to the rental area. Everyone was super helpful and accommodating. Don't forget to reapply sunscreen after heading into the water and kayaking back!

If you choose a day that aligns with low tide, you can see the sandbar, so I think it's a good idea to do some research before going. Since it's a large catamaran, you can't land on the sandbar, but it will take you close to it. The boat can go to a depth of about knee-high during low tide, so you can enjoy the sea thoroughly. It was a great comfort that the boat had a restroom.

潮の干潮時に合わせて日を選ぶとサンドバーが見えているので、せっかくなので下調べして行くとよいと思います。
カタマランの大きい船なのでサンドバーに上陸はできませんが近くまで行きます。干潮時で膝くらいの深さのところまで船は行きますので十分に海を楽しめます。
船にはお手洗いがあるのが大きな安心感でした。

Great time!
Activity Date: 2022/06/18 | Posted on: 2022/07/09

There was ample parking at the facility and we were able to quickly find the check in table. The staff let us know that due to higher than normal winds (15 mph, normal would be 5 - 10mph) they were offering people the option to rebook. We opted to continue since it was the only day we could do this.

Staff said it usually takes about 30mins to get to the sandbar. We are by no means super kayakers, took us about 45mins to get there. Spent about 2 hours out there, eating snacks, snorkeling with turtles and taking pictures.

Took about an hour to kayak back. Because of the winds, there were times when paddling didn't move us anywhere.

Overall great experience! Only rec would be to bring extra water. We each finished a 16oz and 24oz thermos, and were really thirsty by the end because of the sun.

I was hoping there would be an area where we could jump off the boat. But overall we had a good time and my kids really enjoyed it. The best part was the live music. The singer you had was spectacular and I wish he could have sang the whole time.

It was absolutely beautiful!! We all had a great time starting from awesome live band on the boat, SUP, Canoe, snorkeling are all inclusive, my 70 plus years old parents enjoyed trying on the SUP too! We also had 3 years old, she was having fun swimming and relaxing on the floating deck in the middle of ocean! Watching fishes swim by us was pretty neat! Great experience for all of us.

Sea kayaking is the best way to visit the small islets located just off the coast of Oahu, such as Chinaman's Hat or the Mokes. These kayaks are wider and more stable than watercraft made for river paddling, making them easier to use for beginners, even in tandem—just push off from the beach, get in, and paddle out to your heart's destination! Looking for something different? Try a glass-bottom kayak to get a good look at the local sea life, or paddle a Hawaiian-style outrigger canoe!
