It was amazing. 最高でした

Reviewed by: グラタン

The weather was perfect, and it was the best experience! Choosing the banana boat and tubing course was the right decision. During the banana boat ride, the boat staff took us to a sea turtle spot, so they stopped the boat for us to watch the sea turtles, and the kids were thrilled.

天気にも恵まれ最高でした♪バナナボートとチューブラインのコースで正解でした。バナナボートでは途中ボートの方が海亀のポイントに連れてってくれたので、ボートを止めて海亀ウォッチをしてくれ、子供も感激してました。

I attended with high expectations, but contrary to my hopes, I wasn't that impressed. There are many more beautiful beaches on the East Coast, so I think it's better to look for those. The live music on the ship was very good.

A plan to experience Hawaii. ハワイを感じられるプラン

Reviewed by: チップスター

The experience of moving while listening to live Hawaiian music on the boat was amazing! I chose this plan to do SAP in the heavenly sea, and we were able to do SAP, snorkeling, and kayaking all in turns! Before we played, the staff always taught us how to do it. The staff were from overseas, but most of them spoke Japanese well, which was a great help! Since the playtime was long, I think it would be nice to take photos while waiting. In reviews of other tours, there were mentions of photo purchases being charged, but here there was none of that; in fact, the staff took pictures with our own phones, so I definitely recommend bringing a waterproof case for your phone! Even if you hang your phone around your neck to keep it dry, there’s a chance you might flip over in SAP and fall into the sea headfirst, so if it's not waterproof, your phone could be in trouble. I was worried because of reviews saying the boat was cold, and indeed, when I returned to the boat soaked from snorkeling, it felt so cold that my lips were numb. The drinks on the boat were only cold ones. So, after enjoying SAP at the end and warming up in the sun before returning to the boat, I felt much better about the cold. There were participants from various countries, and people of all ages, from small children to the elderly, and everyone seemed to be having fun. If you want to feel Hawaii, I recommend this plan! 😊

ハワイアンミュージックの生演奏を船上で聴きながらの移動が最高でした!天国の海でSAPが出来るプランを探してこちらを選びましたが、交代でSAPもシュノーケリングもカヤックも全て出来ました!遊ぶ前に必ずスタッフがやり方を教えてくれます。スタッフは海外の方ですが、ほとんどの方が日本語上手で助かりました!遊べる時間も長いので、待っている間に写真撮影などすれば良いと思います。他のツアーの口コミでは、写真の購入が有料だったなどありますが、こちらは一切そういうのは無く、なんならスタッフが自分たちの携帯で撮影してくれるので、必ず防水ケースに入った携帯を持参することをオススメします!首から濡れないように携帯を下げていたとしても、SAPでひっくり返って頭から海に落ちる事もあるので、防水じゃないと携帯がやばいことになります。船内が寒いとの口コミがあり不安でしたが、確かにシュノーケリングをして全身濡れた状態で船内に戻ると、口が悴むほど寒く感じました。船内のドリンクは冷たいのしか無いですし。なので、最後にSAPを楽しみながら身体を太陽で温めてから船内に戻ると、だいぶ寒さはマシに感じました。参加者にはいろいろな国の方がいて、年齢も小さな子からお年寄りの方がいて、みんな楽しんでいるようでした。ハワイを感じたい方は、こちらのプランがオススメです^^

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

Great Sandbar Visit

Reviewed by: DHK

My family and I really enjoyed the sandbar trip with Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports. They provided all of the needed sporting equipment (paddle boards, kayaks, snorkels, life vests). The paddle boarding was challenging and fun. Seeing the tropical fish and the coral reef were for me the best experience of the trip. The half day trip was the perfect amount of time on the sandbar. I also appreciated the free donuts and fruit juice (beer for purchase), and the live entertainment. My wife remained in the enclosed boat. Though the musicians didn't perform while at the sandbar, she enjoyed the relaxing views of the bay.

Reviewed by: Gallegos crew

My family has been in Hawaii for a week, and one of the last things we had to do was take a boat tour to Kaneohe sandbar. It came very highly recommended to us, so I found this tour and booked it! Mannnnn, this was THE SINGLE BEST thing we did all week. The boat crew was amazing. Captain Calvin was stellar, along with the whole entire crew. We were so impressed with how much fun we had! The weather was perfect for snorkeling, the kids had the best time being whipped around the ocean on the banana boat, the food was good, the music was amazing! Everything was just perfect. I didn’t want to get off the boat. Cannot lie, the Hawaiian people are the best people. Their kindness is unmatched. We had a great time.

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

Awesome day! The staff is amazing. So much to do & see.

Reviewed by: Jenny P

This was probably one of my favorite activities that I’ve ever done in all of my visits to Oahu. On the short boat ride over to the sandbar we were treated to live music, drinks, sandwiches and an explanation of what we would be doing for the day.
We started by stand-up paddle boarding, then as we were relaxing and floating we saw a turtle cruise by the area. The captain asked if we would like to see some turtles. Of course we said yes, and he took our small group out to the area where turtles are known to be. What an amazing experience! There were probably more than 10! After that we were lucky enough to have Captain Calvin tell us about this sacred place. He grew up close by.
Every single crew member was kind,helpful and genuinely interested in everyone having a good time. They made sure to explain each activity. They provided snorkel gear, stand-up paddle boards, and kayaks. I would say that this is great for couples, families, pretty much anybody.. There was a really cool floating dock with seating and an area with a volleyball net.
Some people had added banana boat rides and tube rides. I think it’s really cool to be able to add extras if you want them. The people who did it looked like they were having a lot of fun!
On our next trip to Oahu, we will definitely come back.

ノースショア(ハレイワ)観光 選べるアクティビティ(シュノーケル・カヤックなど)<1日/ワイキキorアウラニ・ディズニー・リゾート&スパ発>

I managed somehow even though I'm not good at English (laughs). 英語が苦手でもなんとかなりました(笑)

Reviewed by: Maki

A noticeable small bus welcomed us at the meeting point. There were a total of 17 tour participants, with only 3 Japanese, and all explanations were in English. There was a self-introduction time, so we needed to briefly introduce ourselves in English, mentioning where we were from, how many times we had been to Hawaii, and what we were looking forward to on this tour.

Now, although it has been corrected, I was worried because the tour course I signed up for was supposed to go directly from Honolulu to Haleiwa Town, but it deviated from the course midway. We switched from Freeway H1 to H3, passed through Kaneohe on the east coast, and headed north along the coastline. After passing the famous filming location Kualoa Ranch, we took a restroom break at Tropical Farms. Here, we could sample macadamia nuts and had the experience of cracking the nuts out of their shells with a stone. After a break at a fruit stand, we went to Sunset Beach. It was November, and surfers were challenging the high waves.

Then, the morning activities began, and we chose to take a walk at Waimea Falls Park. The entrance fee to the park was included in the tour price, and the guide paid for it. The course to the waterfall was rich in nature and very relaxing. The water volume of the waterfall was abundant due to the rainy season, which was enjoyable, but during the dry season, the water volume is low, so it's something to be cautious about depending on the date of your visit. We could swim near the waterfall, but it was murky, so we didn't swim. Since we had some time before the meeting time, we had lunch there.

After that, we moved to Haleiwa Town, and in the afternoon activity, we tried SUP (stand-up paddleboarding). The location was behind a shop called Surf & Sea, and life jackets were available at no extra charge. The tour guide provided instruction, and while it was easy to get on the board, standing up required some skill. We could also paddle while sitting on the board, which was enjoyable, and I was thrilled to encounter a sea turtle up close.

Although I was worried because the tour was in a language I didn't understand, I was helped by a friendly guide and friendly tour companions.

自己紹介タイムがあるので、どこから来たのか、ハワイは何回目か、このツアーに期待しているものなど簡単に英語で紹介する必要があります。
さて、現在は訂正されていますが、申し込んだ時のツアーコースはホノルルからハイレワタウンへ直行だったのが途中からコースから外れていたので心配しました。フリーウェイH1から途中H3に移り、東海岸のカネオヘを通過し海岸線を北上。映画のロケ地で有名なクアロア・ランチを通過後、トロピカルファームでトイレ休憩しました。ここではアカデミアナッツの試食ができ、また殻から石でナッツを取り出して食べる体験ができました。その後、フルーツスタンドで休憩した後、サンセットビーチに行きました。行ったのは11月で、サーファー達が高い波に挑戦していました。その後、午前のアクティビティが始まり、私達はワイメア滝公園での散歩を選択しました。公園へは入場料はツァー料に含まれ、ガイドが払ってくれました。滝までのコースは自然が豊かでのんびりと楽しむことができました。滝の水量は雨季だったので豊富で楽しめましたが、乾季は水量が少ないので行く日程によっては注意が必要です。滝壺近くで泳ぐこともできましたが、濁っていたので泳ぎませんでした。集合時間まで時間があったのでここでランチを済ませました。その後、ハレイワタウンに移動し、午後のアクティビティではSUP(スタンドアップパドル)に挑戦しました。場所はサーフ&シーという店の裏で、ライフジャケットは追加料金なしで利用できました。指導はツァーガイドが行い、簡単にボードに乗ることはできましたが、立ち上がるにはコツが要ります。ボードの上に座ったまま漕ぐこともできるので十分楽しめましたし、至近距離でウミガメに遭遇したのに感動しました。なお、貴重品ボックスと荷物を入れるロッカーは簡易なものだったので盗難を心配しましたが、特に問題ありませんでした。集合時間になったらバスに乗り、途中でトイレ休憩後、ホノルルまで送ってくれました。
日本語が通じないツアーだったので心配しましたが、親しみあるガイドと友好的なツアー仲間に助けられました。

This is what it's like during the rainy season. 雨季だとこうなの

Reviewed by: フーディーH

Sandbar?
It was mainly snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding.
When I went in March, it was a sandbar, but this time it was disappointing. I wonder if it's like this during the rainy season.
However, the performance on the boat was lively.
Snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding were really fun.
It wasn't a course to see the honu (sea turtles).

サンドバー?
シュノーケーリングとサップが中心でした。
3月に行った時はサンドバーでしたが
今回は残念でした。雨季だとこうなのかなー
でもボートの中の演奏はノリノリ
シュノーケーリングやサップはすごく楽しかったです。
ホヌをみるコースではありませんでした。

Tips and suggestions

There are quite a few differences depending on the season and weather.

I think it's better to check the differences when going to look for honu (sea turtles).

Tips and suggestions

次期や天気によってかなり
違いがあります。

ホヌを探しに行くのとの違いを確認した方が良いと思います。

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

We had a good time

Reviewed by: Mrs G

The music was outstanding and really made for a fun vibe. I loved the activities they provided, butt being able to only kayak or SUP board I. Such a small area felt pretty CT uneventful. Also, snorkeling was okay, but to be encouraged to just stay near the staff member feeding the fish felt less than what I was expecting.

My 4-year-old son also enjoyed it. 4歳の息子も楽しめました。

Reviewed by: ぺぷし

I considered another tour, but it was fully booked, so I chose this one, and my 4-year-old son had a great time. I read in other reviews that "it was cold on the boat," so I brought fleece jackets for the kids, but the temperature was comfortable enough for short sleeves. The tide was not out, so there was no sandy beach, but with the life jackets provided, both my 4-year-old son and 8-year-old daughter enjoyed themselves. The staff also supported us with kayaking, and the kids had fun.

別のツアーを検討しましたが満員でこちらのツアーにしましたが、4歳の息子も楽しめました。他の方の体験談に「船内が寒かった」とあったので、子供たちのフリースなども持参しましたが半袖で大丈夫な気温で過ごしやすかったです。潮は引いておらず、砂浜は出現していませんでしたが、渡されたライフジャケットがあれば4歳の息子も8歳の娘も楽しんでいました。カヤックなどもスタッフがサポートしてくれて子供達も楽しめました。

Tips and suggestions

We participated as a family of four and used Lyft for our round trip. On the way back, after getting off the boat, we called the ride through the app and it arrived quickly, allowing us to go directly

Tips and suggestions

4人家族で参加でしたが、往復はシェアライドのLyftで行きました。帰りも船を降りてからアプリで呼んでもすぐ来てくれたので、ホテルから直接往復できて時間もお金も節約できました。

A fulfilling time! 充実の時間!

Reviewed by: maiii

As the photos show, the water was quite deep, which was quite different from what I had imagined, but because of that, we were able to see a lot of fish while snorkeling, and the kids were thrilled!

Also, we had a lot of fun doing activities like stand-up paddleboarding and canoeing in an area that is usually surrounded by sandy beaches, but this time we were completely surrounded by the sea! The weather was great too!

However, it was a bit tough for my 70-year-old parent. The water was too deep for them to get off the boat... By the way, the water level was just about where adults could finally touch the bottom, while the kids were completely submerged up to their heads. A small child next to us was scared the whole time because the water was too deep.

On this day, there were many foreigners, and they were all guided to the window seats first. Japanese guests were served later. Families with children were seated by the window, but adult groups were placed at tables in the center. I felt a bit of a difference in treatment between foreigners and Japanese guests. I guess it's just how things are in America.

Also, the foreign staff were all very friendly and cheerful! In comparison, the Japanese staff were a bit lacking in smiles, which was a bit disappointing.

However, it was an experience that you can't easily have elsewhere! We enjoyed it thoroughly. Thank you!

写真の通り、水はかなり深く、想像とはだいぶかけ離れていましたが、その分シュノーケリングでお魚がたくさん見れて、子供は大喜び!
あとは普段なら砂浜が見えるとこで行うサップやカヌーなども全方位海に囲まれた状態でできたこともすごく楽しかったです!
天気もよかったですし!
ただ70才の親にはちょっときつかった。あまりに深すぎて船から降りることができませんでした、、、
ちなみに大人がようやく足がつくかなというレベルの水位。子供は完全に頭の上まで水。
おとなりの小さな子供は水が深すぎて終始怖がってました。

この日は外国人の方が多く、先に外国人の方がみんな窓際の席へ案内されてました。日本人は後回し。子供がいる家族は窓際でしたが、大人グループは中央のテーブルへ。ちょっと外国人と日本人の扱いに差を感じました。アメリカだから仕方ないですかね。

あと外国のスタッフさん、とてもみんな楽しく親切な方ばかり!それに比べて日本のスタッフさん、笑顔もなく、ちょっと残念でした。

ですが、なかなか他ではできない体験!存分に楽しみました。ありがとうございました!

It's also important to consider that the sea can get deeper! It might be necessary for small children to get accustomed to the sea in advance!

海が深くなることも想定して!小さな子供は事前に海に慣れておくことも必要かも!

Thank you very much for participating in the tour. After explaining the important points during the tour, we guide guests to their seats, so I believe the explanation for English-speaking guests was completed first, and the guidance for those in Japanese came later. I apologize for any discomfort this may have caused. If you would like to change your seat, please feel free to request it from our staff next time! We will share your feedback among our team and use it to improve our services further. Thank you for your valuable comments. From all of us at 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。ツアー中の注意事項など説明後お席のご案内をさせて頂いておりますので、英語圏の方への説明が先に終わり日本語でご案内の方の方が後になってしまったのかと思いますが、ご不快な思いをさせてしまい申し訳ございませんでした。お席はリクエスト頂ければ変更も可能ですので次回はスタッフに是非リクエストして下さい!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
