Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Hawaiian Music - Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports
Excellent trip. Highly recommended.
Activity Date: 2025/09/26 | Posted on: 2025/09/28

The crew was friendly, and the tour started promptly on time.
Fun activities at the beautiful sand bar. Plenty of kayaks and snorkling gears to borrow.
The staffs were very attentive to each participant's need and made sure of the safety throughout the tour.
The boat has a nice deck on the back with a lot of scenic views along the route from the pier to the sandbar.

The boat was nice, staff was friendly and the water was beautiful. The DJ kept the party going while the boat was anchored. And I might've fallen in love with Jesse! He was a wonderful addition to the excursion!! A great time was had by these girls from Texas!

Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Hawaiian Music - Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports
Many hours of many fun activities would definitely do it again
Activity Date: 2025/09/25 | Posted on: 2025/09/27

The live music was fun while traveling on the boat to The Sandbar and the donuts were fresh and good. The tubing was an absolute blast! The banana boat was not as fun as the tubing and my wife fell off although we did see sea turtles while on the banana boat. We would definitely do the tubing again. The snorkeling was fun with lots of fish swimming right in front of my face and a coral reef below you while you float on your stomach. The board you can stand on or kneel on and paddle was interesting and challenging. They also had kayaks but everybody wanted to use the boards. Playing volleyball with multiple people out in the water was fun and they also had other toys like footballs and water guns but nobody really used them. Just swimming in the middle of the ocean while standing on the sandbar was a blast. The sandwiches on the way home we're also fresh and good. The only thing that could make this better was if the boat did not have a roof so we can feel the breeze and fresh air while traveling out to The Sandbar. Overall I would definitely recommend this and do it again!

Activity Date: 2025/09/18 | Posted on: 2025/09/22

We utilized the afternoon plan for a family of four, including our elementary school-aged son and daughter. We drove to the meeting point with a rental car, and from there, it took about 20 minutes by boat. On the boat, we enjoyed lunch (croissant sandwiches, etc.) and drinks while taking in the scenery. After finishing our meal, we arrived offshore shortly after.

When I went, the water depth was just enough for an adult like me to stand a little, rather than being at a sandbar.

Once offshore, we enjoyed kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding, which thrilled the kids. During snorkeling, I was able to see many fish even as a beginner when diving in areas with coral. Additionally, there were about 4-5 staff members nearby at all times, so I felt comfortable letting the little ones play.

We also reserved a banana boat as an option, but due to some waves that day, we switched to a banana boat. The kids enjoyed the thrill of being towed at a decent speed, and we were amazed when a large sea turtle came right next to the boat. It was much bigger than the sea turtles we saw in Haleiwa Bay, and when I asked the staff, they mentioned that this area has few predators, allowing them to grow larger.

The tour lasted just under four hours, from around 12 PM to 4 PM, and there were staff members who spoke Japanese, making it a reassuring experience for those who are not confident in English.

I participated in the afternoon session with about 20 people in six groups. I noticed that there were significantly more participants in the morning session, likely more than double. If it’s less crowded, I think you can enjoy the activities for a longer time, so the impression may vary depending on how busy it is.

小学生の息子・娘を含む家族4人で午後プランを利用しました。
集合場所まではレンタカーで行き、そこから船で約20分、船中はランチ(クロワッサンサンド等)や飲み物がついているのでそれを食べながら風景を楽しみ、食べ終わって少しすると沖に到着。
ちなみに私が行った時はサンドバーではなく、大人の自分が水中で少し足がつくかな、くらいの水深でした。

沖ではカヤックやSUPが楽しめ子供たちも大喜び。スノーケリングでは珊瑚がある場所で潜ると素人の私でもたくさんの魚を見ることができました。
またスタッフが4-5名は随時近くに居てくれるので、多少小さな子がいても安心して遊ばせることができると思いました。

また、オプションでバンパーボートを予約したのですが、この日は波が少しあったので当日バナナボートに変更、そこそこのスピードで牽引され子供たちもスリルを楽しんだほか、大きなウミガメがボートのすぐ横まで寄ってきて感動しました。
ハレイワ湾で見たウミガメよりもだいぶ大きく、スタッフに聞いたところこの辺りは外敵が少ないため、大きく成長できるんだとか。

12時過ぎから16時ころまで4時間弱、楽しむことができるツアーで、参加中も日本語が話せるスタッフもいたので、英語が得意でない方にも安心して参加できるツアーだと思います。

私が参加したのは午後で6組で20名ちょっとくらいが参加、当日の午前のツアーで下船された方は非常に多く倍以上は参加者がいたのではと思います。空いているとアクティビティも楽しめる時間が長くなると思うので、混み具合で多少印象は変わるかもしれません。

Tips and suggestions

It might be a good idea to have a long-sleeved layer, as it can get chilly on the round-trip boat ride depending on the day. I think the tour itself can be enjoyed safely, even with elementary school-

往復の船中は日によっては冷える場合があるかもしれないので、長袖の羽織るものが1枚あるとよいかもしれません。
ツアー自体は小学生くらいのお子さんが一緒でも安心して楽しむことができると思います。

Activity Date: 2025/08/22 | Posted on: 2025/09/14

It's a bit expensive, but you should choose the PM course. The AM course can be cold if it's not sunny. When it's cloudy or rainy, the water visibility is low and it feels cold. The snorkeling equipment is old and there isn't enough, so I recommend buying some at ABC Store before going.

多少高いがPMコースにするべき。AMコースは晴れていないと寒い。
曇りや雨だと、水の透明度も低く冷たく感じる。シュノーケル機材も古く数も足りないので、ABCストアで買って行くのをお勧めする。

Aloha Plassey,

Thank you very much for participating in the tour and for sharing your feedback. We sincerely regret that we were unable to meet your expectations.

Weather, water levels, and water clarity can vary significantly from day to day. While there are days when it is sunny in the afternoon, this is not always the case, and we appreciate your understanding that it is subject to the day's weather conditions. For those who are concerned, we recommend checking the weather forecast for the Kaneohe Bay area in advance.

We also appreciate your comments regarding the snorkeling equipment. We will use your feedback as a reference for improvements to ensure a more comfortable experience.

Once again, we sincerely thank you for your participation and honest feedback. We will continue to take your comments to heart and strive to provide a better experience.

天候や水位、そして水の透明度は日によって大きく変わります。午後は晴れる日もございますが、必ずしもそうとは限らず、その日の気象条件に左右される点をご理解いただけますと幸いです。気になる方には、事前にカネオヘベイ周辺の天気予報をご確認いただくことをおすすめいたします。

また、シュノーケル機材についてのご意見もありがとうございます。より快適にご参加いただけるよう、改善の参考にさせていただきます。

改めまして、ご参加と率直なフィードバックに心より感謝申し上げます。今後もいただいたお声を真摯に受け止め、より良い体験をご提供できるよう努めてまいります。

Second sandbar tour.
サンドバーツアー2回目
Activity Date: 2025/08/23 | Posted on: 2025/09/13

Last time, I participated in a different sandbar tour with Veltra around the same time, but it was so deep that my daughter, who is nearly 140 cm tall, couldn't touch the bottom, and it was cold, so we wanted to try again. It was really great!! We saw a lot of fish and were able to do many marine sports, which was the best. Even my 9-year-old daughter, who can't swim at all, had no problems with snorkeling for the first time. The banana boat was also fantastic. I would love to participate again. If I had to say something, I wish there were a few more drinks available...

前回、同じ時期にベルトラの別のサンドバーツアーに参加しましたが、140センチ近くある娘の足が付かないほど深くて、かつ寒くて今回リベンジ。凄く良かったです!!魚もたくさん見れて、マリンスポーツもたくさん出来て最高でした。全く泳げないシュノーケリングも初体験の9才の娘でも問題ありませんでした。バナナボートも最高でした。また参加したいです。強いて言うなら、もうちょっとドリンク類置いて欲しかったな、、、

I went on a day when the water level was about waist-high. I enjoyed snorkeling, canoeing, and paddleboarding to my heart's content. The music on the boat created a nice atmosphere, and the donuts were delicious.

I opted for a pickup service from downtown Honolulu, but on the way there, the driver almost left me behind without confirming my name. When I tried to tell him my name, he didn't listen and closed the door on me. After a while, he opened the door again, saying that I was indeed on the reservation and could get on, but that initial interaction left a very negative impression on me.

腰くらいの水位の日に行きました。
シュノーケリング、カヌー、ボードなど時間いっぱい思い思い楽しみました。
船内ミュージックも雰囲気良く、ドーナツも美味しかったです。

ホノルル市内から送迎をオプションで付けましたが、行きの際、ドライバーの方から名前の確認もされずに置いていかれそうになり、名前を伝えようとしても聞いてもらえずドアを閉められました。
しばらくしてやっぱり予約されてたから乗ってくれとドアを開けられ無事に乗れましたが、その時の対応だけとても印象悪くマイナスでした。

The banana boat can hold six people, and while it goes fast, it's not so fast that you'll be thrown off, so you can enjoy it with peace of mind.

We happened to see a lot of honu (sea turtles), so we were able to see them up close. They said we were lucky, so it might be rare to see them.

Other activities (like canoeing) may have limited availability, so you might need to wait your turn.

However, since we had plenty of time, there was no need to rush.

バナナボートは6人乗りで、スピードは速いけど振り落とされるような速さではないので、安心して楽しめる。

たまたまホヌがいっぱいいたので、近くで見ることが出来た。
運がいいと言っていたので、中々見ることが出来ないのかも?

他のアクティビティ(カヌーなど)は、数に限りがあるので、順番待ちする必要があるかもしれません。

ただ時間に余裕があったので、そんなに焦る必要はない。

Snorkeling and ocean leisure activities (such as banana boat rides, boating, and stand-up paddleboarding) are included, making it enjoyable for a variety of people. The snorkeling area is very shallow, so even those who are not good swimmers can enjoy it safely. The staff is friendly and speaks both Japanese and English.

シュノーケルと海のレジャー(バナナボート、ボートやサップ等)がついていて色々な人が楽しめます。シュノーケルもとても浅いエリアなので、泳ぎが苦手でも全然安全に楽しめます。スタッフは日本語、英語ともにOKでフレンドリーです

I knew in advance that the tide wouldn't go below zero, but on this day, it felt like the tide was gradually rising. It was fun to do various activities like stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking. During snorkeling, we were given bread to feed the fish, and many of them came close.

潮位がマイナスにならないことは事前に分かっていたのですが、この日は段々潮位が上がっていく感じでした。
サップやカヤックなど、いろいろなアクティビティができて楽しかったです。
シュノーケリングでは、餌のパンをもらえて、魚がたくさん寄ってきます。

We were able to fully enjoy the ocean activities such as snorkeling, canoeing, and stand-up paddleboarding at our leisure. During snorkeling with the guide, we had a relaxed and private time, and we encountered sea turtles multiple times. My grandmother didn't go into the water, but she was happy to relax on the boat. Our whole family was very satisfied, and choosing a private cruise was definitely the right decision.

シュノーケル、カヌー、SUPなど自由に使用でき海の遊びを満喫できました。ガイドさんとのシュノーケルでは、ゆったりとプライベートな時間を過ごせ、ウミガメに何度も出会えました。祖母は海に入りませんでしたが、ボートでリラックスして過ごせて喜んでいました。家族みんな大満足で、貸切クルーズを選んで正解でした。

I participated with my child (5th grade). It was our first experience with banana boat, stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, and snorkeling, but the water depth was safe enough for adults to stand, so we enjoyed it safely.

子供(小5)と参加しました。バナナボート、Sup、カヤック、シュノーケル、全て初めての体験でしたが、大人の足が届く水深なので安全に楽しめました。

I chose the plan with the banana boat. With about two and a half hours of activity time, I was wondering if it might be too much for just two adults before we started, but that was definitely not the case. We were able to enjoy activities for the entire duration! Especially during snorkeling, I was amazed to see so many fish gathering right in front of me, attracted by the food provided by the staff.

バナナボート付きのプランにしました。2時間半ほどの活動時間で、始まる前は大人二人には持て余すかな…?と思いましたが全然そんなことはありませんでした。時間いっぱいアクティビティを楽しむことができました!特にシュノーケルでは、スタッフさんにいただいた餌を目当てにたくさんの魚たちが目の前に集まってくれて感動しました。

I think you'll gradually get used to it, but right after getting on the boat, your body gets cold and it's really chilly, so it's better to bring a change of clothes. If you get on the boat a little e
