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.

That’s probably one of my favorite things we have done in Oahu. Crew was awesome. Even if you don’t know how to snorkel they will make sure you are safe & get to enjoy snorkeling. We loved hanging out at the sandbar paddle boarding and playing ball. Saw plenty of fish and got to swim next to multiple turtles. Great experience!
Aloha, thank you so much for your feedback.
We're happy to know you had great time in Kaneohe Sandbar tour.

The tour description says 2 hours but we were done in an hour. Saw only 2 sharks compare to other reviewers but I guess that’s better than nothing. The crew team was great and we felt safe in the cage.

The grounds are beautiful and larger than I expected. We allowed an hour to explore the grounds but could have easily spent 2-3 hours looking at all of the scenery. The luau was a lot of fun. There were some hands-on activities before we were seated which were fun. Once seated, we had a great meal and were offered seconds. I could barely finish my 1st plate:)
The entertainment was truly fun. Lots of stories, dancing, singing and some comedy. The closing of the show had fire dancers and one was a 10-year-old boy who could twirl the fire stick outrageously fast. Overall, this was a great experience which I would do again if I were in Honolulu with a car.
Aloha Kris! We're glad that you had a great experience at the luau and had fun. Mahalo for this review, we greatly appreciate it! Hopefully you'd visit us again. Mahalo nui loa!

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.

Due to the impact of COVID-19, there are fewer optional tours that offer transportation, so I chose this one because I could walk to the meeting point, and I'm glad I did. The boat ride out to sea was pleasant, making for a comfortable time even while other participants were flying. After the tour, they will transfer the photos to your smartphone for a fee, and they also provide an SD card.
コロナの影響か、オプショナルツアの送迎があるものが少ないなか、徒歩で集合場所に行けるという理由で選択しましたが、選んでよかったと思います。沖に出るボートも気持ちよく乗れるので、他の参加者が飛んでる間も心地よい時間でした。
参加後、写真も有料ですがスマホに入れてくれます。併せてSDカードも渡してくれます。

We participated as a couple in our 30s.
We were fortunate with the weather and were able to go to the sandbar under clear skies.
The sea was more beautiful than we imagined, and we were thrilled to encounter many sea turtles while snorkeling.
On our trip, there was a staff member who spoke Japanese, so it might be a good idea to inquire ahead of time since it may not be the case every time. However, I think those who are concerned about the language will feel reassured.
They properly checked the number of participants before setting out the boat, and there were plenty of snacks and drinks prepared. There were also various options for play equipment, making it a fulfilling and reassuring tour.
30代夫婦2人で参加しました。
天候にも恵まれて、晴天のなかサンドバーに行くことができました。
想像以上に美しい海でしたし、シュノーケリングではウミガメに沢山出会うことができて感動しました。
私たちの回はスタッフに日本語を喋れる方も同乗されていたので、毎回ではないかもしれないので問い合わせした方が良いかもしれませんが言語に不安がある方も安心ではないかと思います。
ちゃんと人数確認してから船をだしたり、お菓子や飲み物も沢山用意されていたり、遊ぶ道具も色々選択肢があり充実し、また安心できるツアーでした。

I've always wanted to try surfing. On the first day of our arrival in Hawaii, I took advantage of the time before check-in to have my first challenge with my son. We received a brief explanation on the beach, and although we were filled with anxiety, both my son and I quickly learned to ride the waves. Since there was one instructor for the two of us, we repeatedly rode the waves and returned to the shore, and the one-hour course was more than enough for us. In fact, anything longer would have been physically challenging. I was worried about bumping into others at the crowded Waikiki Beach, but the area further out was relatively less crowded, so it wasn't a problem. It became a memorable experience of surfing in Hawaii!
以前からやってみたかったサーフィン。ハワイ到着初日、チェックインまでの時間を利用して、息子と初チャレンジしました。砂浜で簡単な説明だけを受け、不安だらけでしたが、自分も息子もすぐに波に乗れるようになりました。インストラクター1人に対して、自分と息子の2人でしたので、波に乗っては冲まで戻るを繰り返し、1時間のコースで十分満足でした。むしろ、それ以上は体力的に無理でした。人が多いワイキキビーチで、他人にぶつかったりしないか心配でしたが、沖の方は比較的人が少なく、問題ありませんでした。ハワイでサーフィンをした!という思い出作りになりました。
Thank you for the 4-star review, PNC. We're glad to hear that you and your son enjoyed your time with us. We look forward to your next visit!

The photography spot where you can overlook Waikiki was truly amazing. Since it's all downhill, you hardly use any energy. With more than ten people descending the mountain in a line, when a car comes along, we step aside to let it pass, and the drivers, even if we don't know them, are friendly, which lifts our spirits as well.
ワイキキを一望出来る撮影スポットは本当に最高でした。
下り坂専門なので、体力も殆ど使わないで済みます。
10人以上が一列になって山を下るので、途中で車が来ると避けて、先に車を行かせる際に、見ず知らずの車のドライバーにも愛想が良く、見ている此方まで気分が良くなります。
