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

It was totally worth it!

Reviewed by: Bamboo

Sorry in advance. Not much of a writer here but we really wanted to share our experience.

Pros:
- The whole team were amazing! They screamed aloha spirit. My personal favorite was the blonde gentleman who spoke Japanese and Korean.

- live band was a hit! Both singers were amazing!

- food was basic but good. It was nicely plated as well which I was NOT expecting. Center piece was a nice touch.

- Really good bang for your buck with all the activities.

Con:

Not really reflective of the crew but the sandbar was not as shallow as I expected. Obviously it depends on the ocean and tides etc.

I was able to encounter low tide on my second attempt. 再挑戦で干潮に出会えました。

Reviewed by: oggie

For this second attempt, I checked the tide chart for the sandbar in Kaneohe and chose the day and time when the tide would be the lowest during my stay to participate in the tour. It was perfect. When we arrived and moored the boat, the water was about calf-deep, and even after the first snorkeling session, which lasted 20 minutes, we returned to find a sandbar with broken coral exposed about 50 meters away. It was practically land (see photo). The quality of the sandbar experience depends on the tour company, but ultimately, the tide conditions are everything. I believe those planning to go should choose tours that operate during low tide, referring to the tide chart as much as possible. However, when walking to the sandbar, beach shoes are essential. The soles of your feet can hurt, and if you're unlucky, you might get injured. Captain Bruce already has established know-how, and there was a Japanese guide on board, making it a comfortable experience for Japanese participants. The spam musubi we had on the boat was very delicious. During snorkeling, we even encountered a honu (sea turtle) (see photo).

One downside is that the information provided in advance by Veltra mentioned that tips of 10% to 20% are not included in the travel cost and advised not to bring valuables. I only brought a single bill for tips, but there were signs on the shuttle bus asking for tips, and there was also a request for tips when we got off the boat after the activity. I found myself in a situation where I hadn't heard about tipping at two different places! I only had one bill! I wish they would stop the tipping practice, which is unfamiliar to Japanese people, and include it in the total cost. It's quite bothersome.

再挑戦の今回は、サンドバーのあるカネオヘの潮見表を調べ、滞在中のツアー催行時間で一番潮の引く日と時間を選んで参加しました。ドンピシャでした。到着時にボートを係留したところで、ふくらはぎ中くらいの深さ、最初に行われるシュノーケリングが20分して終わって帰って来ても、歩いて50mほどのところにある珊瑚が砕けた砂州？が露出していました。まさに陸地でした。(写真参照)。サンドバー観光の質は催行会社もありますが、やはり潮の状態が全てです。行かれる方は、潮見表首っ引きで出来るだけ潮の引いている時に催行されるツアーを選ぶべきだと思います。ただし、砂州？に歩いて行く時はビーチシューズは必須です。足の裏が痛いですし、運が悪ければ怪我をすることがあります。キャプテンブルースはすでにノウハウが確立しており、日本人ガイドも乗っていて、日本人が安心して参加できます。ボート上でいただいたスパムむすびがとても美味しかったです。シュノーケリングでは海中でホヌにも出会えました。(写真参照) 。難点を言えば、事前にベルトラからされた案内に10%〜20%のチップは旅行代金に含まれていませんとあり、貴重品は持ってくるなとありましたので、チップだけお札1枚で持って行きましたが、送迎のバスでも、チップくださいとの掲示がありましたし、活動が終わりボートを降りる時にも、チップくださいの案内がありました。2箇所でチップとは聞いていないよ！お札1枚しかないよ！ということになりました。日本人には馴染みのないチップやめて欲しい。代金に含めておいて欲しいです。面倒くさいですから。

Kaneohe Sandbar (Morning Session) カネオヘサンドバー（午前の部）

Reviewed by: hosop

I participated in the morning session of a family trip (with elementary and middle school students). It was almost high tide, but at about 1 meter, it was safe for elementary school students to play.

What stood out the most was the cheerful and fun attitude of both the shuttle driver and the guide on the boat. They were quite fluent in Japanese (or rather, most of them were Japanese), so I highly recommend this tour compared to others.

Here are some points summarized by category for your reference!

【Shuttle】The outbound trip took about 45 minutes, and the return trip took about 60 minutes. We were picked up around 9:00 at the bus stop near Trump, making it easy to participate. The same driver took us both ways, and during the return trip, he engaged us with comments about our experiences. (He also provided cheerful guidance in English and broken Japanese along the way.) There was a service for those who wanted to stop at a famous malasada shop (Leonard's) on the way back.

【Boat Transfer】It takes about 10 minutes to arrive, and the waves are calm, so there’s hardly any worry about seasickness. We spotted several sea turtles on the way out (although we could see them multiple times at the sandbar).

【Snorkeling】Everyone wears life jackets and sanitized snorkels, and there were also zayaks (a type of board with a viewing window?) available for children. For adults who cannot swim, one of the guides provides support nearby. There were many fish, but everyone was particularly excited about the sea turtles.

【Activities】After snorkeling, you can enjoy SUP, zayaks, floaties, and photo opportunities at the sandbar. There was about one SUP per group, so everyone had fun (taking turns as a family).

【On the Boat】The boat has a restroom and is quite clean. The minimal rocking of the boat also left a good impression.

【Food and Drink】There are unlimited servings of spam musubi, apples, snacks, nut bars, and juices (only one spam musubi per person). So, you can go without bringing anything.

【Caution】Jellyfish (Portuguese man o' war) were present, and a few people got stung (though everyone had minor injuries). I think long-sleeved rash guards are essential.

家族旅行（小学生＋中学生）で午前の部に参加しました。
ほぼ満潮のタイミングでしたが、1m程度なので小学生でも安全に遊べました。

何より素晴らしいのは送迎の運転手、船上のガイドとも明るく楽しい気持ちになりました。日本語もかなり通じやすい（というかほぼ日本人の方も）ので、他のツアーに比べて非常にオススメできます。

以下に観点別のポイントをまとめたのでご参考までに！

【送迎】往路は45分ほど、帰路は60分ほどでの到着でした。トランプ近くのバス停に9:00頃ピックアップだったので無理なく参加できました。また行と帰りは同じ運転手で帰宅時には感想などの声掛けもしてくれます。（道中、英語と片言の日本語で陽気にガイドもしてくれます）。
希望者はマラサダの有名店（レナーズ）に帰路で下車するサービスもありました。

【船移動】10分程度で着く上に波も穏やかなので船酔いの心配は殆どありません。往路ではウミガメを何匹か見つけました（サンドバーで何度も見れますが）

【シュノーケル】全員がライフジャケット、シュノーケル（消毒済み）着用しますが、小児はzayak（除き窓付のビート版？）の貸し出しもありました。大人で泳げない人はガイドの1名が近くでサポートもしてくれます。魚も多いですがやはりウミガメは皆さんテンションがあがっていました。

【アクティビティ】シュノーケル後はサンドバーでSUPやZAYAK、浮き輪、写真撮影などを楽しめます。SUPも1組1台程度はあるので皆さん楽しめてました（家族で交代しながら）

【船上】トイレ付で船自体も結構キレイです。揺れが少ない点も好印象。

【飲食】スパムにぎり、りんご、スナック菓子、ナッツバー、ジュース類が食べ放題です（スパム握りだけ1人1つ）。よって手ぶらで問題なし。

【注意点】くらげ（カツオノエボシ）が流れてくるので、刺されている人が数人いました。（ただし皆さん軽傷）長袖のラッシュガードなどは必須と思います。

Beware of jellyfish. クラゲに注意

Reviewed by: モモモ

More than one-third of the participants were stung by jellyfish. It should be possible to take precautions such as wearing rash guards in advance. The sea is beautiful, but there weren't many fish, and it was murky, so we left early. For those who have experienced snorkeling in Okinawa, this may feel lacking.

During peak times, more than 60 people participate, so the boat can get very crowded during meal times and when entering the water.

参加者の3分の1以上がクラゲに刺されました。事前にラッシュガードの着用など徹底できるはずです。海は綺麗ですが、魚はあまりおらず、濁っていたので早々に引き上げました。沖縄方面を経験している方には物足りないシュノーケリングです。

ピーク時だと60人以上が参加するため、食事時や入水時など船上は大混雑です。

When my family and I first got to the dock we were greeted by the friendly boat crew. They were very personable and caring. On the adventure, we made our way to the sandbar and were able to snorkel, paddleboard, canoe, and relax on the water deck. The sandbar was perfect to stand on and was not deep. The reef was beautiful to look at while snorkeling. My family and I paid extra for the intertube and banana boat, this experience was AWESOME!! You were asked what speed you would like the ride. We wore life jackets and we felt very safe even though this was an extreme water activity. The live music was wonderful, while the overall atmosphere was family oriented. This was our favorite excursion!! If you want a day to play in the water and have fun with the family, this is the excursion for you.

It was a beautiful sea! 綺麗な海でした！

Reviewed by: まーちん

It was amazing to swim with so many fish. I rented a wetsuit, which I hadn't planned to do initially, but it turned out to be the right decision because the water temperature was lower than I expected, and it protected me from the coral and underwater rocks. I wasn't confident in my swimming skills, but the suit provided buoyancy, allowing me to snorkel with ease. Guides Dan and Chieko took us to points where we could see a lot of fish. They also took many photos before, during, and after snorkeling, which I really appreciated. They arranged transportation to the hotel and made the reservation for entry to Hanauma Bay, making it easy to participate. Throughout the experience, they were very attentive, allowing me to enjoy the tour comfortably and happily. I would love to join again if I have the opportunity!

たくさんの魚と一緒に泳ぐことができて最高でした。当初借りる予定のなかったウェットスーツをレンタルしましたが、水温が思ったより低かったこととサンゴや水中の岩から身を守れたため、レンタルして正解でした。泳ぎに自信がなかったのですが、スーツ自体に浮力があるので、安心してシュノーケルすることができました。ガイドのダンさんチエコさんが魚のいるポイントまで連れて行ってくれるのでたくさんの魚を見ることができます。シュノーケル前後、シュノーケル中もたくさん写真を撮ってくださり有難かったです。ホテルまでの送迎やハナウマ湾の入場予約もしてくれるので気軽に参加できました。終始、丁寧に対応していただいたので楽しく快適にツアーを楽しむことができました。また機会があれば参加したいです！

ビーチシュノーケリング　波が穏やかな浅瀬のマジックアイランドのラグーンで初心者やお子様でも安心！英語ガイドのサポート付き　写真＆動画無料＜1時間／アラモアナ＞

It's a good practice for a first-time snorkeling experience. シュノーケリング初体験には良い練習です

Reviewed by: poohsaya

I participated in the initial practice for snorkeling because I was anxious about going out to sea the next day. Since it was my first experience with snorkeling, the calm waves made it a great place for beginners. All the instructions were in English. They explained how to put on the gear, how to breathe, and the precautions. After that, we practiced in an area where we couldn't touch the bottom. It was mentioned that there was a locker for valuables, but all participants' belongings were placed in a large box with a lock, which was mostly left open. It's better not to bring valuables.

Since it was the same location as scuba diving, it seemed there were staff members coming and going. There were only park restrooms and an outdoor shower. This time, there were two children and me, along with two Americans in our group. For those who can't swim, the instructor pulls a float, so you can hold on and practice. I highly recommend this for anyone who feels anxious about going straight into the sea.

翌日の海に出てシュノーケリングが不安だったのでの初練習として参加。初体験シュノーケリングなので参加して波が穏やかで、初体験の場所として良かったです。説明は全て英語です。付け方や息の仕方の方法、注意事項を説明その後は足が付かない所でずっと練習、貴重品ロッカーと書いてありましたが、大きな鍵付きの箱の中に参加者全員の荷物を入れる、ほぼ開けっぱなしです。貴重品は持たない方が良いですね。
スキューバダイビングと同じ場所なので入れ違いで誰かスタッフがいるようでした。
公園のトイレと外にシャワーがあるだけです。
今回は子供2人と私、アメリカ人2人のグループでした。泳げない人はインストラクターが浮き具を引いてくれるので捕まって練習してました。
いきなり海に開くのが不安な方にはとてもお勧めです。

I had a great time!! とっても楽しかったです！！

Reviewed by: AAA

The bus picked us up right in front of the hotel, which was very helpful. The inside of the bus was cold, just like "theBUS," so I recommend bringing a jacket!

Since it was an early morning plan, I had a light breakfast at the hotel, but on the boat, they provided drinks, spam onigiri, snacks, and fruits. The hot coffee was really delicious! The couple sitting next to us brought sandwiches, and I thought it would have been nice to enjoy that on the boat instead of at the hotel.

The staff who spoke Japanese kindly explained about the life jackets, how to play, and movies filmed in the area.

I checked the tide online and made a reservation, but the tide level during my session was just about waist-high! It was my first time trying SUP, and since the water was only waist-deep, it was easy to retry after falling, and I had a lot of fun.

While I was playing with my smartphone in a waterproof case, a friendly staff member offered to take my picture and captured me standing on the board! (There was even a moment when I lost my balance and fell, which was funny.)

During snorkeling, I had a great encounter with sea turtles and fish.

After getting out of the water, it was cold, and the young man next to me was shivering a lot. I recommend bringing a jacket, not just a T-shirt, like in the bus! Also, some hotels lend out bath towels, so it might be good to ask about that.

After getting off the boat, I was able to change at a nearby restroom. I had a really enjoyable experience and was very satisfied.

The highlight of this trip for me was definitely the sandbar. Unfortunately, the weather was rainy, but I was still able to enjoy myself thoroughly.
While snorkeling, you can take underwater photos with your iPhone using a waterproof case. I even managed to capture a photo of a sea turtle.
Depending on the weather, it can get quite cold, so I recommend bringing a bath towel. As for other essentials, just cash for tips, your iPhone, and a waterproof case should be enough. I also brought a change of clothes, but there isn't a designated place to change, so we ended up wrapping ourselves in bath towels on the way back.
They also provide some light snacks, spam musubi, and soft drinks, so I think a light breakfast will suffice.
There was also a Japanese guide who was very kind and helpful.
I definitely think you won't regret participating!!!

Reviewed by: とりさん

Perhaps due to the approaching typhoon, the water clarity was poor, and the waves made it difficult to stay in one place. I felt that it would have been better to choose another day. However, our tour guide Dan was kind and helped my tired wife, for which I am grateful. Despite this, Hanauma Bay still offered many fish, including large and beautiful ones, making the snorkeling worthwhile. Additionally, the life jackets were of the type that you inflate yourself, so as someone who wanted to dive, I was able to snorkel without the hindrance of buoyancy, allowing me to swim joyfully. Next time, if the weather is good, I would like to sign up for the same tour again.

台風接近後であったためか、水の透明度が悪いのと、波もあって落ち着いて定位置にいられない。

ただ、ツアーガイドのダンさんは優しく、疲れたかみさんをフォローしてくれて、感謝です。
ハナウマ湾はそれでも多くの魚と大きくて綺麗な魚が見ることが出来、シュノーケリングの価値はあります。
さらに言うと、ライフジャケットは、自分で空気を入れて膨らますタイプなので、潜りたい自分としては、邪魔な浮力がない状態でシュノーケリングが出来るので、楽しく泳げました。
次回、天候の良いときに機会があれば同じツアーに申し込みたいと思います。

I checked the low tide in Hawaii and participated in a tour at the time it was at its lowest during my stay. The tide goes out around 8:30, so I was picked up at 5:45. After picking up other participants in the city, we arrived at the sea before 8:00.

After boarding, we headed to the sandbar. The captain provided explanations in English, which were quite fast and hard to understand, but a female staff member explained in Japanese for the Japanese participants.

At the sandbar, we spent the first 45 minutes playing in the water on stand-up paddleboards. The water depth that day was about 20 cm. After that, we put on well-floated life jackets and went snorkeling along the coral reef. There weren't many brightly colored fish, but a turtle came close, although we were told not to touch it.

We returned to Waikiki before noon, allowing us to enjoy more activities like meals and the pool for half a day. On the boat, there was one spam onigiri, chips, and drinks available.

ハワイの干潮を確かめて、今回のハワイ滞在中で一番下がる時間を確認してツアーに参加しました。8時半頃に引くので、5時45分のピックアップでした。
市内の他の参加客のピックアップして8時前に海に到着しました。
乗船後、サンドバーに向かいました。キャプテンは英語の説明で、結構早口で理解しづらかったですが、女性のスタッフが日本語で日本人参加客に説明してくれました。
サンドバーについて、最初の45分はスタンドアップパドルボートでの水遊びでした。この日は20cmほどの水深でした。
その後、しっかりしたよく浮くライフジャケットを着けて、珊瑚礁に沿ってシュノーケリングしました。明るい色の魚は少ない状態でしたが、カメは触ってはいけないのですが、当たりそうなところに上がってきてくれました。
お昼前にはワイキキに帰るれるので、さらに半日食事やプールなども楽しめました。なお、船上ではスパムおにぎり1個とチップスとドリンクなどがありました。
