All Reviews for Windward East Oahu

This was the best way to cap off our O'ahu vacation by having a relaxing snorkel, a crazy banana boat ride, easy paddle boarding and just chilling in the ocean surrounded by some of the most gorgeous scenery you could find anywhere. The crew were fantastic and so friendly, they were patient with everyone and even got to chat with Preston about him moving from Mesa, AZ (we're from Scottsdale, AZ). If we are ever in O'ahu again, we are absolutely doing this as it was so fun an easy and one of the most enjoyable things we did while on the island. Definitely worth our money and time - give them a try, you won't be disappointed.

It was awesome. The way the lines went through the park and the view was outstanding. The instructors and the other members of our group made the adventure even more special. Would recommend this 1000%.

Amazing place incredible views.
Organized, punctual, beautiful

Everything was super organized and the staff was incredible and very friendly!

The weather was nice, we played beach volleyball at the sandbar, and we saw many sea turtles. Snorkeling was great too, as we saw a lot of fish, and the hamburgers were delicious. The staff was friendly, and we had a great time.

お天気も良く、サンドバーでビーチバレーし、ウミガメにもたくさん会えました。シュノーケリングもたくさん魚が見れてよかったですし、ハンバーガーも美味しかった、スタッフさんもフレンドリーで楽しかったです。

First time snorkeling but Lifeguard teaches very simple and I had great time!!! Everyone (staffs)are very nice and very helpful thank you guys I will do again

It was amazing to swim in such a beautiful sea. The hamburger for lunch was delicious, and the kids were happy too.

とてもきれいな海で思いっきり泳げて最高でした。ランチのハンバーガーも美味しくて、子どもも喜んでました。

I used this during my honeymoon. Some of the staff communicated with me in Japanese and provided explanations in Japanese, which was very kind of them. The continuous music created a wonderful atmosphere as well.

Regarding what to bring... For the bus transfer, it was fine to go in my swimsuit, but it's better to have something to change into for the return trip. A towel would also be great. If you're wet, the bus seats will get wet, and more importantly, the air conditioning is quite strong, so it can get really cold.

ハネムーン中に利用しました。
何人かのスタッフの方が日本語でコミュニケーションをとってくれたり、英語の説明を日本語でしてくださったりして、凄く親切でした。
またずっと音楽を奏でてくれるので素敵な時間も過ごせました。
持ち物に関してですが…
バス送迎は行きは水着でいけましたが、帰りは何か着替えるものを持っていった方がいいです。タオルもあれば◎
濡れたままだとバスの椅子が濡れてしまいますし、何より冷房ガンガンなので凍えます。

enjoyed a lot.
place is good, lot of activities, nice people!
bring more alcool next time :-)

It was myself and my 17 and 16 year old sons. The tour guides on the trail at the ranch were really nice and informative. So cool to ride through the ranch, up the mountain and overlook the water. Beauty every where you looked. Also, the scenes were movies were filmed was fun to see.
You do get dirty - it was very dry when we went so lots of dust. If it’s wet I image you’re covered in mud. They give you goggles and buffs to cover your nose and mouth. You need them! Another reviewer suggested to bring wipes to wash your face afterwards- solid advice. We did that to get some of the dirt off our faces. Plenty more came off in the shower. Haha
The bus to/ from was comfortable and clean. Only not so great thing I can say is there was a very long wait time from when we arrived at the ranch until our scheduled tour started. Had I known that I maybe would have rented a car and drove up on our own. Price would have been Equivalent, and plenty of other places to stop in along the way. All in all it was a great adventure and I definitely recommend it!

This was so much fun!!! You definitely get super dirty but it is so worth it! You get to see so much of the ranch and the different valleys! We had Jessica as one of our tour guides and she was awesome! She did a lot of fun things with the group to make the experience more fun! If you love Jurassic World, you will love being able to see some cool things from the movie. Definitely a fantastic experience!

The cruise ship was large, with many tables arranged inside and a small stage as well. We were guided to our seats by the staff. While we were on our way to the sandbar, we enjoyed lovely music played with a ukulele, guitar, and singing.

The water level at the sandbar changes with the tides, so if you have the time, it might be a good idea to check the tide conditions in advance. We signed up at the last minute, so we didn’t check beforehand, but on the morning of our visit, the water level was about waist-deep. In some areas, it was deep enough to reach shoulder height, but even so, the clear water was beautifully colored and truly stunning.

You can freely enjoy SUP, kayaking, and snorkeling. However, there are a limited number of SUPs and kayaks, so if others are using them and they are not available, you may have to wait. We tried SUP for the first time, and it was a bit difficult to balance, and with the ocean current, it was quite challenging to go in the direction we intended. But it was a lot of fun.

One thing to be careful about is the red buoys, which indicate where you should not go beyond. If you get too close, we were told to sit down and paddle back on the SUP or to get out and walk back if you were in a kayak.

For snorkeling, we swam in an area with coral reefs, and since the water was shallow, we were able to see the fish up close. They were so beautiful that we could have watched them for a long time.

The lounge floating on the sea was also a photogenic spot. At the sandbar, you can spend your time freely until it's time to go, so when we got cold, we returned to the ship to wrap ourselves in towels and enjoyed some orange juice and donuts.

There was one men's restroom and two women's restrooms on board, which was convenient. All the staff members were bright, cheerful, and wonderful people. There was also one Japanese staff member, so I think you don’t have to worry if you're anxious about your English.

On the way back, we left the sandbar while listening to music and returned to the port. It became a very lovely memory. We had so much fun. Thank you, everyone!

クルーズ船は大きくて、中はたくさんテーブルが並んでいて、小さなステージもありました。場所はスタッフの方に案内されて座りました。サンドバーに着くまでの間、ウクレレとギターと歌で素敵な音楽を聞くことができました。
サンドバーは潮の満ち引きによって水位が変わるので、余裕があれば、あらかじめ潮の状態を調べておくといいかもしれません。私たちは直前に申し込んだので調べていきませんでしたが、私たちが行った日の午前中は水位が腰くらいまでありました。場所によっては肩くらいまで深さがありましたが、それでも、透き通った水でとてもきれいな色をしていて、本当に美しかったです。
SUPやカヤック、シュノーケリングは自由にすることができます。SUPとカヤックに関しては個数が限られているので、他の方が使っていてその場にない場合は待たないといけないと思います。私たちは初めてSUPに挑戦しましたが、バランスを取るのが少し難しく、海水の流れもあるので思った方向に進むのがなかなか難しかったです。でもとても楽しかったです。
注意しなければならないのは、赤いブイがあるので、その先には行かないということです。そこの近くまで行ってしまったら、SUPでは座って戻ったり、カヤックの場合は降りて歩いて戻ったりするように言われました。
シュノーケリングでは、珊瑚礁がある場所で泳ぎましたが、こちらも水深が浅いので、近くで魚たちを見ることができました。とてもきれいで、ずっと見ていられるくらいでした。
海に浮かぶラウンジもフォトジェニックな場所でした。
サンドバーでは時間まで自由に過ごすことができるので、体が冷えたら船内に戻ってタオルにくるまったり、オレンジジュースやドーナツをいただいたりしました。
船内に男子トイレは1つ、女子トイレは2つあったので、トイレに行けるのもよかったです。
スタッフのみなさんが明るく陽気で素敵な方ばかりでした。また、日本人のスタッフさんも1人いらっしゃったので、英語に不安があっても心配いらないと思います。
帰りも音楽を聞きながらサンドバーをあとにし、港へ戻りました。
とても素敵な思い出になりました。すごく楽しかったです。みなさん、ありがとうございました。

I had a good time with my family. The people running it were friendly. The park is beautiful.

The entire experience was wonderful, especially the captain and crew. The food and drinks were great as well. My only complaint is that I wish our time at the sandbar was longer! We spent a good while at the snorkeling reef, but I wish our time at the sandbar was equal in length. 10/10 recommend!!

So fun!! Loved all the workers who gave us history on Hawaii, from ferry driver to island workers who took us on canoe and glass bottom boat. Loved the sandbar canoe the best!! Definitely recommend visiting the beach

Was good, good staff and beautiful beach, fun family time .. please add 1 hour.

It's a two-hour ride through the fields and mountains of Kualoa.

For safety, you will wear a helmet, goggles, and a take-home Kualoa-patterned cloth mask. This is because you'll be kicking up sand and dust for two hours. Our family of four shared one vehicle. The driver must have a valid driver's license. If there is no licensed driver, a Kualoa instructor will drive for you.

There are breaks at key points where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery, take photos, and explore movie set locations—it's a packed two hours. After the activity, when you look in the mirror, you'll be covered in dust, and you'll end up laughing as you look at each other. That's the vibe.

Since it's hot, please bring plenty of water.

I highly recommend it.

クアロアの野山を掛けぬける２時間です。

安全のためヘルメットとゴーグル、そしてお持ち帰り可能なクアロア柄の布制マスクを着用します。
２時間砂誇りを巻き上げて走り抜けるからです。
我が家は家族４人で一台乗車です。
運転手は免許所有者でないといけません。
免許所有者がいない場合はクアロアのインストラクターさんが運転してくれます。

要所要所で休憩が入り、きれいな景色を楽しんで撮影したり、映画ロケでのセットを楽しんだり　盛りだくさんの２時間です。
アクティビティー後に鏡を見ると　全身砂埃まみれ、お互い顔お見合わせて笑ってしまう。そんな感じです。

暑いので水分は持参してくださいね。

おすすめです。

Extremely courteous, helpful, kind associates!
Rapid fire emcee , energetic and history lessons given free of charge
Awesome music, Very, very tasty hamburger , family friendly atmosphere and overall joyous vibes abound the excursion

We had such a unique experience going to the SandBar. It was like having our own little beach area. They provided lunch in our package. Live music was played during our boat ride there and back. They provided kayaks, paddle boards, life vests and snorkel gear. They were a fun crew and i can tell they enjoy working together. They were eager to help teach about Hawaiian culture and boat safety. It was one of the trip highlights and i would highly recommend to anyone to do it. Just be mindful of the tide as certain times the tide can be very high to your chest or low to your knees.

A must do while in Oahu! Great friendly staff, loved the bbq hamburgers. Volleyball, snorkeling and turtle watching. My favorite thing to do every time I visit Oahu.

My family and I really enjoyed this experience. It was something that could be enjoyed by everybody, those more adventurous or for those who wanted to “chill.” The sandbar they took us to was a beautiful place and the snorkeling location was awesome. We saw different fish and even had a surreal experience swimming by sea turtles. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Great day out with the crew! My family was visiting from the mainland and decided to bring them out to the sandbar. They were extremely happy with this experience!! Would def recommend this excursion.

The weather was mostly cloudy, but it hardly rained. The contrast between the white sandbar and the surrounding sea was beautiful. At the turtle point, I encountered many sea turtles, and they were adorable. A little further away, there were a few manta rays, and everyone was excited to see manta rays during the day, which is quite rare! Of course, I was too! This was my second time at the sandbar, and although I haven't experienced perfectly clear weather yet, just being able to see the beautiful contrast of the sea is soothing for the soul!

天気は、曇りがちでしたが雨になることはほぼなく
サンドバーの白さと周りの海の色のコントラストがきれいでした。
ウミガメにポイントでは、たくさんのウミガメにも出会えて
かわいかったです。
少し、離れたところでは、数匹のマンタレイも居て
めったに見ることがない昼間のマンタに皆さん興奮してましたね！
もちろん、私も！！
今回で2度目のサンドバーですが、なかなか快晴！！
という天気には巡り会えてませんが、きれいな海のコントラスト
を見れるだけで、心が癒やされます！

I thought we were going to an island, but it turned out to be a shallow area in the sea. It was a very mysterious place where you can enjoy various marine sports, and they teach you how to do them and how to ride, so it's reassuring. The donuts were delicious, and it was perfect!

島に行くのかと思っていたら海の中の浅瀬でした。とても不思議な場所でそこではいろんなマリンスポーツができ、やり方も乗り方も教えてもらえるので安心。ドーナツも美味しく、完璧でした！

absolutely love the tour. Never been snorkeling in Hawaii. Bucket list checked. Definitely will do this again!

The crew was very friendly and helpful. The singers were incredible & played fantastic music. It was a memorable part of our vacation. Highly recommend KBOS!

Amazing time! We highly recommend. Can’t wait to do it again! Do the banana boat ride- so good!

This is my second time using it, following the last time. The sea is beautiful, and the hamburgers eaten on the boat are very delicious! There were also many sea turtles! I want to participate again!

前回に続き2回目の利用です。
海も綺麗で、船の上で食べるハンバーガーもとても美味しいです！ウミガメもたくさんいました！
また参加したいです！

What an absolutely amazing day! We had so much fun. Special mention to the guides who shared stories of the land and taught us about the Aloha spirit.

Beautiful day with a super crew! Sandbar and snorkling are magic!!!
