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

Memorable

Reviewed by: Ma Concepsion P.

It was perfect. Such friendly staff. So safe and so much fun. My 1 year old and 4 year old kiddos had such a blast. We have booked through Paradise Bay 2 years because we were staying there, and this time around was so much better. Live band with amazing voices. Just a great experience. Mahalo

Awesome!

Reviewed by: Caitlyn

This was an awesome experience! My husband and I were on our honeymoon and first time snorkelers. The crew was very informative and helpful. They were fun and clearly enjoyed their jobs! We were able to see so many turtles up close as well as hold a sea urchin! This has definitely sparked our want to go scuba diving now!

So much fun!

Reviewed by: Shelby

We had a blast! This was the first activity we did during our trip and it did not disappoint! They served donuts, played live music, and had plenty of activities to do. Our favorite experience was the snorkeling! The reefs were so healthy and we saw lots of fish! It's BYOB and there is a store to purchase drinks and snacks before you board. Everyone was super nice and we made friends along the way! Great way to start our trip!

Sandbar tour with banana boat and bumper ride

Reviewed by: Garrick

Totally awesome experience and had a ton of fun on the water. Went for the banana boat and bumper ride upgrade. Great and friendly crew! Definitely good to be aware of the tide tho. Unfortunately none of the sandbar was above the water while we were there due to high tide. Was a great experience nonetheless!

I saw a turtle! 亀さんいたよー

Reviewed by: ドラゴン

Snorkeling was a bit painful as I bumped my shin on the coral and scraped it, but kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding were fun. The staff were kind and friendly. The highlight was when I was paddleboarding and they said, "Look, there's a turtle!" and took me right over to see it. I was so moved to see a swimming turtle up close for the first time. Thank you, Hideo & Midori.

シュノーケリングはサンゴでちょっとスネをぶつけて、擦りむいて痛かったけど、カヤックやサップは面白かったです。スタッフの方が親切でフレンドリー。1番はサップをしていた時に亀がいるよ〜。と言ってすぐ近くまで一緒に行ってくれた事。初めて泳いでいる亀さんをすぐ近くで見ることが出来て感動しました。ありがとうございましたhideo&midori

Since my youngest daughter is 9 years old, we couldn't rent bikes, but they kindly inflated a small float for her, allowing us to enjoy the beach all day. Bodyboarding was also fun! For lunch, the kids ordered pizza, and I ordered barbecue, both of which were very delicious! I definitely want to come back here next time.

We had the most amazing experience! The crew was wonderful. Made us feel like Ohana. Kept us safe and let us do our thang. We rode the banana boat and asked the captain to flip us! So much fun. We rode the bumper tube as well, SCARY at first but so much fun. Snorkeled with my 10yr and non swimming boyfriend lol We did great! The lunch sandwich they provided was much needed!

Reviewed by: Julice

The ride to Sandbar is very smooth, no waves, no worries on emotion sickness. My 6yr old especially enjoyed the Banana Boat and Bumper Tube rides. Highly recommend. The staff was very nice. They even helped us babysit our 2yr old while the rest of family were on the boat and tube rides. :D

The Snorkel was OK. Not many fishes though. If you are planning your trip primarily for the snorkel, it is likely better to find a snorkel specific place.

Challenge yourself with SUP! SUPに挑戦!

Reviewed by: レオピョン

This was our first time participating as a couple over sixty. On the boat, we enjoyed Hawaiian songs, and the staff were very kind, communicating with us in simple Japanese since we couldn't speak English. (It's okay if you can't speak English.) There were drinks and donuts that were soft and delicious. Our main goal was to try SUP! With the staff's explanations while we were in the water, we started SUP. At first, we were nervous, but we soon got used to it and were able to ride comfortably. We had a great time kayaking and snorkeling as well.

When it was time to return, everyone was excited and singing along on the boat, which was a lot of fun! Next time, I want to bring my grandchildren along.

Thank you for your hospitality!

還暦を過ぎた夫婦で初めての参加になります。船の中ではハワイアンソングを聴きながら和気あいあいでスタッフの方も英語が話せない私達に片言の日本語でとても親切に接してくれました。(英語ダメでもOK)飲み物やドーナツが有り柔らかくて美味しかったです。お目当てはSUPです!海の中に居るスタッフさんの説明でSUP開始です。恐々乗ってると時期に慣れて気持ち良く乗る事が出来ました。カヤックをやったりシュノーケリングをやったりと充実した時期を楽しく過ごせました。

I participated in a sandbar tour that I had wanted to go on for a long time with four friends from university. Since there was a Japanese guide, we didn't have any particular difficulties and had a great time. We had plenty of time to enjoy taking lots of photos both at the sandbar and while snorkeling, and we also saw many sea turtles from the boat! I highly recommend this tour!

Wouldn’t be ideal for non swimmers

Reviewed by: Cici

First of all the bus that picked us up was old and need some works done. A 45 minute drive turned into a 11/2 hour drive. We picked the sand bar as my husband and I both can’t swim. I was pleased that we got to do some snorkeling together. We did see some turtles as well.
Then it was the deeper sea snorkeling. I was so afraid of the deep sea. So we ended up waiting in the boat for over an hour.
There are actually a few coaches on the boat. If they would Guide us through that would be a lot easier.
We just felt left out from the whole group.

The perfect outing

Reviewed by: Tiffany

This was one of the most popular outings suggested when we researched our trip to Oahu. The online description was completely accurate and the booking was easy. The company communicated very clearly via email and text with great instructions to prepare us for a fun day. Once on the boat we were able to completely relax and enjoy ourselves! The live music was amazing, the crew was friendly and fun, and the whole experience was coordinated and organized very well! There was plenty of time on the sand bar and plenty of equipment for our family of 6 to do everything we wanted to do. I would completely recommend this outing and I would do it again!

Not as good as anticipated

Reviewed by: Brenda

I’m not sure if my expectations were too high or what but it wasn’t what I was expecting. I still had a good time and we did see one turtle. The crew was great so no complaints there. As far as the beer and cocktails go….they offer them to you about 10 minutes before you get off the boat so you have time for about one lol!! The day we went there really wasn’t even hardly any fish to see. Plus there were so many other boats in the same exact place it just felt crowded.

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

No sandbar visible at all

Reviewed by: Nancy O

We recognize that no one can control the weather, the tides, or the water depth on any given day but the company could note on their website that the water level has been so high lately that it's rare that the sandbar is visible. Having pictures on the website that show the sandbar above water is very misleading without any asterisks as to weather conditions, water depths, or tides.

The afternoon we went in mid October 2022, the water over the sandbar was about 4-5' deep. It wasn't until we talked with one of the crew who said the sandbar has only been visible about two days this whole summer. Had we known that, we wouldn't have booked but of course, that's exactly why they don't post anything about the rising ocean on the website because they'd lose money. So instead, they let people think they'll get the experience like the photos show which is pretty misleading and close to false advertising.

Unfortunately, we also got a cloudy afternoon with intermittent rain and pretty choppy water so weren't able to try the standup paddle boards or kayaks.

The two-guy band on the boat was good. They played 3 songs on the short boat ride out to the sandbar and then a couple on the way back. They didn't play during the time at the sandbar.

The turkey croissant lunch was good.

The floating suntanning platform near the sandbar was unusable. It had built-in chairs but if you wanted your towel, you had to hold it above your head to keep it dry and swim, tread, or walk in 4' water from the boat to the platform. It would have been helpful if a crew member took towels, etc. over to the platform on a paddle board or something so they'd be dry.

If you have kids or you're a short adult who doesn't want to have to tread water or wear a life vest for the 3+ hours in the water over the sandbar, this isn't the excursion for you. We had a better sandbar off the beach at the Outrigger hotel in Waikiki. Also, the water on Oahu's north shore isn't as clear as in Waikiki.

Absolutely breathtaking. まさに絶景。

Reviewed by: ロコロコ

We participated as a couple. We took a shuttle bus to the port and transferred to a boat to the sandbar. The scenery was truly breathtaking. We were blessed with good weather and enjoyed snorkeling and paddleboarding. During snorkeling, we were able to see fish playing around the corals and even spotted a sea turtle up close, which was moving. On the boat while it was anchored, there were plenty of snacks, apples, and drinks, so we didn't have to worry about getting hungry. The staff were all very friendly, which made the tour even more enjoyable. However, this tour had mostly Japanese participants (there were also people from Taiwan and Korea), but the explanations about how to spend time in the sea and safety instructions were only in English. After the English explanation, they asked those who didn't understand to raise their hands, and a Japanese staff member provided explanations in Japanese as a service. On another optional tour, they always provided explanations in Japanese along with the English ones, so that was a bit disappointing. Overall, it was really fun to experience a different side of Hawaii than Honolulu. I definitely recommend participating when you go to Hawaii.

Sandbar Tour サンドバーツアー

Reviewed by: sayu

I participated with my husband on our honeymoon. Although it was mentioned that masks were required, we brought them just in case but did not wear them.

The boat ride was very smooth, and even though I usually get seasick, I felt completely fine and was able to enjoy snacks without feeling nauseous! Even those who typically get seasick might be okay with this experience.

Before boarding, we had to sign something like a contract, but hardly anyone was dressed as stated in the document; most people were in casual clothing with their arms and legs exposed. So, it might not be as strict as the regulations suggest.

On the boat, they played live Hawaiian music, and we spent our time enjoying snacks like donuts and drinks. Once we arrived, we could swim right away, and there were free rentals for snorkeling and kayaking. There were also paid options like banana boats and jet skis available if there were openings on the day.

We had about two hours to enjoy the sea, which felt quite leisurely. On the return boat, they offered warm tea to help warm us up. The explanations were given in English, Japanese, and Korean, and although they were a bit broken, they were understandable.

Overall, the sea was not as impressive as I had imagined, but perhaps it was just the timing? Regardless, I appreciated the chance to relax, enjoyed the snacks as much as I wanted, and my husband seemed satisfied, so I rated it four stars.

One disappointing aspect was that the location is far from Honolulu, so we requested transportation, but both the outbound and return trips were delayed. In the morning, we were about 20 minutes late, but the return bus also took a long time to depart. The driver eventually returned to inform us that one group of passengers was still eating their snacks, and we couldn't leave until they finished. This was understandably frustrating. Other tourists were also getting impatient, and it seemed that someone went to talk to the couple eating to expedite things. We finally departed about 30 minutes later, which was unacceptable.

I would appreciate it if you could mention in the guidelines that eating is not allowed during the trip, or that transportation will not be provided if passengers choose to eat. The couple was apparently unaware that they would be departing soon, but their assumptions inconvenienced others. I also thought it was rude that they sat down without apologizing.

The staff, atmosphere, and service were good, but the transportation issues before and after really detracted from the experience.

ハネムーンで夫と参加しました。マスク着用とありましたが、私達は念のため持っていきましたが着用はしませんでした。
道中の船はとても静かに進み、いつも薬を飲んでいても船酔いする私がまったくせず、軽食を食べても酔いもせず快適でした!普段船酔いする方でもこれなら大丈夫かもしれません。
事前に契約書?みたいなのにサインするのですが、そこに書かれているような服装の人はほぼおらず、普通にみんな足とか腕とか出た服装でした。だからいろいろ規約に書かれているほど厳しくないのかもしれないです。
船ではハワイアンミュージックを生演奏してくれるのでそれを聞いたり、軽食のドーナツや飲み物を飲んで過ごしました。
着いてからはそのまま泳げますし、シュノーケルやカヤックなども無料で貸し出しがあるのですることができます。有料のバナナボートや水上バイク?も当日空きがあればお金を支払って参加できます。
着いてからは丸々2時間ほどあったのでしょうか?かなりゆっくり海に入っていられた印象です。
帰りのボートでは暖かい紅茶もあるので冷えた身体を温められます。
説明は英語、日本語、韓国語などで片言ですが伝わります。
全体的に想像してたより海は普通で感動はしませんでしたがタイミングなのでしょうか?
とりあえずゆっくりできたこと、軽食は好きなだけ食べれたこと、彼が満足そうだったので、星4にしました。
1つ残念なこととしては場所がホノルルから離れているので送迎をお願いしたのですが、行きも帰りも遅かったこと。朝も20分ほど予定から遅れていましたが、まさかの帰りのバスも待っても待っても出発せず、運転手が戻ってきて告げたのは乗客の1組が現地で軽食を食べている。それが終わらないことには出られないとのこと。勿論イライラ。外人の観光客もしびれをきらしそのご飯中の1組のところへ行って話し合って来てくれたようで、なんとか30分後くらいには出発できましたがあり得なかったです。
申し訳ないですが注意事項に現地での途中飲食は出来ませんとか、途中飲食される場合は送迎致しませんとか書いて下さい。食べていたカップルはそんなにすぐ出発すると思わなかったと言っていたと運転手が言っていましたが、勝手な思い込みは他の人が迷惑です。乗車の際も謝りもせず普通に座って何様なのかと思いました。
スタッフ、雰囲気、サービスは良かっただけにその前後の送迎が足を引っ張った感じがします。
