Oahu
Nice music, great food there's so much aloha around.
Mahalo for your review! - Team KBOS
I booked this for a Burial at Sea. I told the Captain what my father's wishes were, what he liked about the island, etc. The Captain read his obit, studied the charts & current for that day and I couldn't have scripted it better myself. They were unbelievable nice, generous & caring. A vision that all of us that were there will keep. Pictures will never do it justice.
I think he must know someone in high places, as the waters were VERY calm - like glass. The place he picked was beautiful - we could see all the way to the bottom. Picture perfect.
thank you for your kind review and for allowing us be part of your special celebration. Our sincere condolences for your loss.
The fact that I booked to just experience the sand bar is my small disclaimer, But the boat ride out to the sandbar including the friendly staff breakfast snacks and juice along with the live band / music and all the SUP, Kayaking Snorkeling and Lounging we could do is what made this an experience of a lifetime for me and my son! They provided all the above for a great rate plus you can add on other activities like the bumper boat ride etc. I highly recommend Veltra tours! You won't be disappointed!! Mahalo
Mahalo for your review and nice pictures! - Team KBOS
We had an amazing time! 10/10 would recommend!! Defiantly a must when visiting Oahu. Mahalo to the crew and musicians!
We're so glad you enjoyed our tour. Mahalo! - Team KBOS
There were many participants who were not Japanese, and there was a group that was just too noisy, making it hard to hear the instructions. Although a staff member who understood Japanese explained things individually, it was too loud to hear. People were vaping and even entering the sea with alcohol, yet no one was reprimanding them. I was really looking forward to it, but I couldn't do either stand-up paddleboarding or canoeing. I'm very disappointed.
日本人以外が多く参加しており、とにかく騒いでるグループがいて、注意事項等々聞こえず、日本語のわかるスタッフさんが個別に説明してくださいましたが、うるさ過ぎて聞こえませんでした。
電子タバコをふかしたり…アルコールを持ったまま海に入っていても誰も注意していなかったです。
凄く楽しみにしていたのにサップもカヌーも出来ませんでした。ガッカリです
Thank you for participating in the KBOS Sandbar Tour. We also appreciate your candid feedback regarding our tour.
The tour on the morning of March 17 was fully booked with approximately 100 guests. Our tour is designed for guests to enjoy their time at the sandbar area and partake in ocean activities, so we aim to create an uplifting atmosphere with live musicians and a lively crew. As you may know, we currently have many guests from around the world who do not speak Japanese. Each guest enjoys the experience in their own way, and given that they are having fun, it is quite challenging for us to control the volume and excitement levels.
While smoking is prohibited inside the boat, it is allowed outdoors, so we ask guests to take personal responsibility and prepare ashtrays to avoid inconveniencing others. The same applies to drinking, which is permitted both inside and outside the boat, and we encourage guests to enjoy responsibly.
I am truly sorry to hear that you did not enjoy the KBOS Sandbar Tour. We have received reports that there were no complaints on the day regarding not being able to hear the safety instructions, issues with smoking, or not being able to use the SUP or kayak. Our crew regrets that if you had brought these concerns to their attention on the day, they might have been able to address them.
Recently, we have seen an increase in guests from various languages, cultures, and perspectives sharing time in the same place in Hawaii. We strive daily to ensure that our tour can be enjoyed by guests with diverse values and viewpoints. We will take your valuable feedback into account to create tours that allow even more guests to take home wonderful memories.

We rented a private speedboat. First, my apologies for most likely misspelling your name, Kaikoa or Keoke? Again, my apologies but me, my hubby and his mom had the best experience and truly enjoyed the day just talking with you about Hawaii and seeing all the wonderful wildlife when snorkeling. We also wanted to say thank you for being so kind and hospitable and putting up with our 20 questions about Hawaii life and thank you so much for sharing! Sending good vibes and hope you and your family are prosperous and happy. A thousand times Mahalo!
Hello, thank you so much for chartering our boat tour at the Kaneohe Sandbar. We are so happy that you and your family had the wonderful time. We will make sure to deliver your message to our captain Kekoa :) Again, thank you very much for your kind words, and your time for this review. We hope we can take you to the bay again. Mahalo
Many moons ago I visited the sandbar and knew I needed to come back again. It took me 10 years but finally made it!!
I ponied up the cheddar for the private speed boat and for me it was perfect. Captain K was so attentive to my family. (My daughter tripped in the parking lot within 20 seconds of meeting him). He bandaged her up. Taught us about the geography of the bay. Went out of his way to find us some turtles at the end.
My 5 year old had the time of her life with all the fish! Snorkeling was amazing. All the toys already out on the sandbar were amazing.
10 out of 10. Will do again next time in Oahu.
On behalf of Capt. Bruce, we thank you so much for your feedback and loving support! We look forward to seeing you again in the near future.
A Hui Hou!
The crew was amazing! The watersports we did was so much fun! Snorkeling and water volleyball was so cool, a turtle just swam up by our net and popped in to say hi! Views were incredible as well! Highly recommend this tour
We are very happy that you enjoyed our tour. Mahalo! - Team KBOS
Bella esperienza, la barca ha tutto l'essenza Ale ed è comoda per passarci un paio di ore, i due ragazzi che ci hanno portato fuori sono stati molto gentili e professionali, conoscono bene la zona è puoi chiederlo tanti consigli su cosa fare nell'isola.
Purtoppo la giornata che abbiamo scelto non è stata delle migliori.. pioveva a tratti e l'acqua era un po' torbida.. non abbiamo visto le balene.. ma vabbè avevamo già messo in conto che poteva succedere, abbiamo fatto un bagno in mezzo all'oceano e abbiamo nuotato con tanti pesci diversi e tartarughe marine. Nel complesso ne è valsa la pena, anche perché abbiamo avuto la possibilità di vedere la costa sud di Oahu da un altra prospettiva, incantevole.
Esperienza consigliata.
Thank you for the kind review, it was a pleasure to have you all aboard. Our unpredictable hawaiian wildlife and weather can be challenging at times but we always make the most of it! Hope to see you all again in the future. Aloha.
In the afternoon plan, there was a banana boat and a bumper tube included. Unfortunately, due to high tide, we couldn't see the sandy beach, but we had a great time with marine sports in the beautiful sea. There were restrooms and changing rooms available (although they weren't very clean...). It was convenient with pick-up and drop-off from downtown Waikiki.
午後プランで、バナナボートとバンパーチューブ付きでした。
あいにく満潮で、砂浜を目にすることはできませんでしたが、綺麗な海でマリンスポーツ、とっても楽しかったです。
トイレ、更衣室付きでした(あまり綺麗ではありませんが。。)
ワイキキ市内から送迎付きで、便利でした。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. From all of us at KBOS.
この度はツアーへご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。KBOS スタッフ一同
We experienced a sandbar tour with Captain Bruce on a private boat. The weather forecast predicted bad weather, but it only rained a little, and the sea was beautiful!!
The captain was friendly and cool, and we had a great time snorkeling and seeing sea turtles! They provided special gear for our child who can't swim, so the whole family enjoyed it together.
The drinks and spam were delicious! Since we went with three generations, it was great to have a private boat!
I was unsure about participating in the tour, but I'm really glad we did!
キャプテン・ブルースによるサンドバーのツアーを貸切ボートで体験しました。
天気も悪いとの予報でしたが、少し雨が降る程度で海も綺麗でした!!
キャプテンもフレンドリーでカッコよく、シュノーケルもウミガメも見れて凄く楽しかったです!泳げない子供にも専用のを貸して頂き家族みんなで楽しめました★
飲み物や、スパムも美味しかったです!
3世代で行ったので、貸切ボートにして良かったです!
ツアー体験も悩んでましたが、参加して本当に良かったです!
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Pacific Tour. We are delighted to hear that your family enjoyed the tour. We also appreciate your kind words about the captain. We would be thrilled if you could join us again for the Paradise of the Pacific Tour when you visit Hawaii next time. All of our staff sincerely look forward to welcoming you back. Mahalo!
Aloha! キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。
家族皆さまでツアーを楽しんで頂けたみたいで嬉しく思います。またキャプテンにもお褒めの言葉をいただきありがとうございます。
またハワイにいらっしゃった際には、ぜひ天国の海ツアーにご参加いただけましたら嬉しいです。スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。Mahalo!
Our group went on a sunset cruise and the boat started on time. Check in was quick and easy and the boat was clean. There were many complimentary snacks and a variety of sodas/juices to choose from. All of the staff were friendly and answered any questions we had.
I wanted to see the sandbar, but even though I chose a tour date that would arrive at the sandbar right at low tide, the water level was still up to my waist at the end of January due to the rainy season. However, I knew this from my research, so I enjoyed paddleboarding and snorkeling instead. On the day of the tour, the weather was great, and the water wasn't cold. The staff were very kind, taking videos for us and answering our questions patiently, which was really helpful. Even without seeing the sandbar, I had a great time, but if I have the chance again, I would love to join a tour during the dry season.
サンドバーを見たかったんですが、干潮の時間ぴったりにサンドバーに着くツアーの日付けを選んでも、1月末は雨季の為、やはり水位はお腹くらいまでありました。
でも、調べて分かっていたことなので、パドルボードやシュノーケルをして楽しみました。
当日は、天候に恵まれて、水も冷たくありませんでした。
スタッフの方たちも、とても親切で、ムービーを撮っていただいたり、質問にも丁寧に答えていただいて、助かりました。
サンドバーが見えてなくても楽しめますが、もしまた機会があれば、乾季にツアーに参加できたらなと思います。
We are sorry to hear that the water level was high this time, but we are glad to know that you were able to enjoy the activities. We look forward to your participation in our tours when you visit Hawaii again. Thank you. From all the KBOS staff.
今回水位が高かった事は残念でしたが、その分アクティビティをお楽しみ頂けた様でうれしく思っております。またハワイにお越しの際にはツアーへのご参加を是非お待ちしております。ありがとうございました。 KBOS スタッフ一同
My husband and I, with my 21 year old son, had so much fun on our recent trip to Kaneohe Bay Sandbar with Ocean Sports Adventure. The trip started with an easy check-in process. We left the pier at 9:30 and arrived at the sandbar in 15 minutes. During this time, the crew served donuts and drinks while two musicians played live music. They were really good and professional. When we arrived there, we snorkeled first. Lots of reef fish! Then we tried SUP for the first time. Since it was such a windy day, the crew made sure we didn't float away to the areas that we weren't supposed to be. The captain took some of us on his boat and went to a nearby reef where green sea turtles are. We saw 2 of them! I highly recommend this activity to anyone!
Mahalo for sharing your experience! - Team KBOS
We saw a number of sharks and even a hammerhead shark on the hunt for mackerel! Very cool!
SUP, kayaking, and snorkeling were so much fun!
The staff was kind and attentive, and I definitely want to go back! They are friendly and make sure you have a great time.
I went in February 2023, so it was a bit chilly, but I really enjoyed it.
SUP、カヤック、シュノーケリング楽しかった〜!
スタッフは親切で気配りが素晴らしくまた絶対行きたいです!親切で楽しませてくれます(^^)
2023年2月に行ったので肌寒かったですが、本当に楽しかったです。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We look forward to your participation in the tour again when you come to Hawaii! From all the KBOS staff.

Mahalo for your review! - Team KBOS
The crew were amazing and the sunset was beautiful. My friends and I loved the whole experience and we even got to see dolphins and turtles.
The cruise was great overall. Love that we could bring our own drinks so we can make whatever we want. Views were amazing when the sunset. Cotton candy skies with views of the city of Honolulu and diamond head. Also saw tons of dolphins so the captain got our boat right in the middle of all of them so we could watch them swim right next to the boat. The crew was very friendly and helped with any questions needed as well as offering to take photos for me and my friends and everyone else who wanted pics on the boat. So fun overall
Great fun for my family with teenagers and friends! Something to do for everyone /)
Yes, there really is something for everyone to do at the sandbar. Mahalo! -Team KBOS
Such an amazing experience, All the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. They helped with everything, the live music was amazing and added to the experience. Great vocals by Jesse! Highly recommend! 5 stars!!
We appreciated your time for this review, kind words for our crew, and recommendation. Mahalo! - Team KBOS
