Oahu
Great excursion! Fun, energy staff! We were very happy with the sand bar excursion. We kayaked, paddleboarded, and snorkeled. The musicians on the boat was amazing!
The tour guides were amazing and a lot of fun! It was my daughter’s first time but she had a great time. What a great experience! Thank you
My husband and I had a blast! The tide was high when we went but wasn’t too bad. The crew was great! Live music was awesome! Had everyone singing. Would do it again!
Wonderful experience! LOVE the music and the variety of activities available. The staff is very friendly and make the cruise even more enjoyable! The food was great too! Thank you for a wonderful experience! Definitely recommend to anyone.
Our tour guide was super nice! Even the weather wasn’t really nice but we enjoyed so much! We learned a lot about the small island that we kayaked to. The view was stunning! Love it :)
Overall great experience. My family really enjoyed the snorkeling and banana boat rides.
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.

The view of Honolulu from a height of 150 meters is amazing! There were two crew members, and the one piloting the boat was fantastic at controlling it, intentionally dropping us into the water (just for fun, of course) and then lifting us back up. The person who prepared and explained everything took photos for us and entertained us with jokes.
You can enjoy it even if you don't speak English.
You should definitely experience this at least once in your life!
150メートルの高さから見るホノルルの景色は素晴らしいです!
クルーの方が2名いらっしゃって、船の操縦の方は、コントロールが素晴らしいのだと思いますが、わざと海に落としたり(もちろん楽しい程度に)、また浮かしてくれたり。
準備や説明をして下さる方は、写真を撮ってくれたり、ジョークで楽しませてくれたり。
英語ができなくても、十分楽しめます。
人生で一度はぜひ!!
This is the best activity you can do, specialy if you have children. All crew takes very good care of you, they really do their best so you can have a great time. Don’t miss this. I loved that they provide all we needed to have the best time at the sandbar.
The sandbar and the hosts did a amazing job. I will be returning and letting my friends know!
Had a lot of fun with the gf doing all the fun activities!
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!
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!
Aloha Jenny! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure! And thank you also for taking the time to leave such an awesome review for us! We really appreciate that. So glad to hear our staff took good care of you and that you had a great kayak and snorkel experience with us! Good advice about the sunscreen. Hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!
SO MANY DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES TO DO, A PICNIC LUNCH WA PERFECT FOR A BOAT DAY
Friendly and informative staff! Gave us great recommendations on where in the waters to go. It was a very new experience being able to walk and snorkel around the Sandbar and we were very lucky to see and swim with a few turtles at the Sandbar as well!
Aloha Mira! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure! And thank you for taking the time to leave such an awesome review for us! We really appreciate that. Stoked to hear that you had such a great kayaking, snorkeling, sandbar experience. And very glad to hear our staff took good care of you and the turtles cooperated! Hope to see you again soon. Mahalo!
It was written that masks should be worn, but everyone had them off. I think it would be reassuring if they could enforce safety measures a bit more thoroughly so that I could feel comfortable making a reservation.
マスク着用と書いてありましたが皆外してました。少し安全管理を徹底してもらえると安心して予約できると思いました。
Dont expect to snorkel in waiste deep water without a life jacket.
It's more like a rental shop provided at the meeting place rather than a tour image. The staff are all friendly and approachable!
Since we didn't plan to go into the ocean that day, we only used the bicycles. The bicycles have wider tires compared to those in Japan, and they move quite well with just a light push. The brakes have their quirks (laughs), so definitely experience them on-site.
For those planning to go snorkeling, Kailua Beach is nice, but it might be a bit challenging to go all the way to Lanikai.
Especially, managing your belongings might be difficult.
There are various shops to enjoy while exploring Kailua. A great souvenir for women is Kanikai Bath & Body!
Also, there are a lot of wild birds. Additionally, since the tour time can be quite long, if you're confident in your stamina, I recommend climbing up to the Pillbox.
Regarding lunch, you can choose from three options, and we went with the BBQ plate and pizza. As mentioned in the comments, the pizza is different from what you find in Japan; it's oily, and the crust is thick yet crispy and delicious.
The BBQ plate is also tasty, but the eating area might be a bit questionable in terms of hygiene. The area in front of the pizza shop was clean! Since you're overseas, it's probably best not to worry too much about it!
ツアーのイメージではなく、集合場所のお店の提供されている貸出店舗という感じです。
スタッフさんは、みなさんフレンドリーで親しみやすいですよ!
私達は当日は海に入る予定がなかったため自転車のみ利用でした。
自転車は、日本と違いタイヤの幅も大きく軽く漕げば結構すすみます。
ブレーキは一癖あり(笑)是非現地で体験してください。
シュノーケリングされる予定の方はカイルアビーチは良いですが、ラニカイまでいくとなるとちょっと大変かも。
特に、荷物管理が難しいかもしれませんね。
カイルア散策ではいろいろなお店もあり楽しめますよ。
女性向けのお土産で良かったのはKanikai Bath&Bodyです!
あととにかく、野鳥が多いです。
またツアー時間が結構長くとれるので、体力に自信がある方はピルボックスの方まで登るのはおすすめです。
ランチについては、3種類から選べるのですが、
私達はBBQプレートとピザにしました。コメントのあるようにピザは日本のとはちがいオイリーで生地はふといのにサクサクでうまいです。
BBQプレートも美味しいのですが、食べる場所はちょっと衛生的に微妙かも。ピザ屋さんの前は綺麗でした!
海外ですのであんまり気にしすぎないほうが良いですね!
Dear R&S,
Thank you very much for participating in the tour without a shuttle service after the pandemic. Hawaii is now starting to return to normal, and we have also begun offering free shuttle service from the Waikiki area.
We strongly recommend using bicycles for the Kailua Beach Plus option, so your choice was indeed the right one! When visiting Lanikai Beach, we think it's best to store your belongings in our lockers and go light. The view from the Pillbox is absolutely stunning!
When you come back to Hawaii, please do visit Kailua again. Our entire staff is looking forward to welcoming you.
Sincerely,
Kailua Beach Adventures Japanese Staff
R&S様
パンデミック後、送迎サービスのない中、ツアーにご参加頂き、誠にありがとうございました。
現在、ハワイは通常に戻り始めており、ワイキキエリアからの無料送迎も開始致しました。
カイルアビーチプラスオプションでは自転車の利用を強くお勧めしておりますので、R&S様の選択は正解です!
ラニカイビーチに行く際は、当店のロッカーに荷物を入れ、身軽で行って頂くのが一番よろしいかと思います。
ピルボックスからの眺めは最高位ですよね!
またハワイにお越しの際は、是非ともカイルアに遊びにいらしてください。
スタッフ一同、心よりお待ち致しております。

Great trip with wonderful live music.
Staff was freindly and it was a great experience for young and old. Five of us ages 12-65 all enjoyed the experience.
I highly reccomend it.
Had a great time, a group of two teens and one adult. Worth the price and recommend getting the photos, but shots with the sun behind you didn't turn out too great.
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。
My family had a great time surfing the waves off Waikiki Beach. The captain and crew made
It super easy even with children - 10 & 8 - on board. Don’t hesitate to book and try this unique experience.
Mahalo for taking the time to submit your review! We are happy to know that Captain Russell and crew provided an excellent time for the whole family! We hope to have you all back again soon. Aloha
Note: they are a tent set up by beach right at the road. Super friendly, on time, fun, wanted to be sure we had a good time! Would book again!
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.
Aloha Niks! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure! And thanks for taking the time to leave such an awesome review for us. We really appreciate that. Stoked you were able to make it to the sandbar on a windy, challenging day! And very glad to hear overall you had a great experience and a great workout. Hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!
Excellent experience
Crew was great
Smooth trip
Wish there was some other snack than donuts :)
All kinds of activities
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.
Good music and kind stuffs
I enjoyed great boating time with my wife
