It was my first time on a bumper tube. It was more thrilling and exciting than any roller coaster. I also really enjoyed chatting with the Japanese female staff member.
人生初のバンパーチューブでした。どんなジェットコースターよりもスリリングでエキサイティングでした。日本人女性のスタッフの方との談話もとても楽しかったです。
Aloha Kasa,
Thank you for the 5-star review. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the bumper tube.

The staff members are very cheerful, and you can tell they are trying to entertain us. They understand Japanese to some extent, so I don't think there will be any issues. It can be a bit chilly during the rainy season, so a jacket is essential.
スタッフの方達がとても陽気で、こちらを楽しませようとしてくれてるのが伝わる。
日本語もある程度伝わるので、困る事もないと思います。
雨季だと少し寒いので、上着は必須です。
Aloha!

I participated in whale watching for the first time!
While cruising, I was able to enjoy some drinks and the scenery was amazing! ✨✨
I saw the whales spouting water and their tails from a bit of a distance!!
I thought I would be able to see them a little closer, but since they are wild animals, I understand that it's unpredictable. Still, the atmosphere was great and I had a lot of fun!!
The restrooms on the boat aren't usually very clean and can be hard to access, but this boat had clean restrooms, so I felt comfortable even while drinking!
I would love to participate again someday!!
初めてホエールウォッチングに参加しました!
クルージングしながらお酒も飲めて景色も最高でした✨✨
クジラは少し遠くで潮を吹くところやテールを見ることができました!!
もう少し近くで観れると思っていましたが、自然の生き物の事なので、予想がつかないのも仕方がないな〜と思いつつ、雰囲気はとても良く楽しむことができました!!
船でのおトイレは綺麗なところがあまりなく、なかなか行きにくいですが、こちらの船は綺麗なトイレでお酒を飲んでも安心でした!
またいつか参加してみたいです!!
Absolutely wonderful experience. Must try the banana boat ride for an opportunity to see giant sea turtles. We saw like 20. So beautiful. The music was fantastic. Thank you all so much 🌺❤️🌈
Aloha Deanna,
We are so happy to hear you enjoyed our tour.

We went to Hawaii and we loved it there. Now sandbar Hawaii at another level. Everything is including paddle boards, snorkeling, canoeing and you get live music and food. This was the cherry on top of our trip don’t plan on going without making this trip.
Mahalo for your review! - Team KBOS
I loved this snorkeling adventure! The live music was really entertaining, and the lunch was yummy. I really liked that the staff who did the outfitting for your snorkel gear was attentive and caring and wanted to make sure you had a good experience! I liked that there was a small tow rope strung between the main vessel and the floating "lounge" area to help guide you through the water. The variety of activities was good too, with the banana rafts and the stand-up paddleboards. There was an activity here for every level of adventurer. I kind of wished the boat was a bit smaller and more intimate but I got used to the size quickly and really ended up enjoying the experience!
Just go on this trip! It was pretty fun and amazing.

We booked the Kaneohe sandbar standard package as we had our 2 year old kid travelling with us. We got to do a bit of everything swim, snorkel, kayak and paddleboard. My son enjoyed his first kayak ride. There is a good deck once u reach the sandbar where we can relax in between activities. The crew were friendly and hospitalable. We enjoyed the music onboard. I would definitely recommend the Kaneohe sandbar experience to anyone visiting Oahu !!!!
Please check the weather and tide timings before you book.

It was disappointing that the pickup time was delayed. If there is going to be a delay, I would like to be informed by email. The phone line was not reachable. I hope this can be improved.

We did this just 8 months ago and we brought the rest of the family with us this time. There was 8 of us and everyone participated in all of the activities and it didn't matter that the weather wasn't perfect, the aloha shared by this team is what made this experience wonderful. Thank you for making our Obana's day!
Nice to have coffee as an option on cooler days
Mahalo for coming back & your review! - Team KBOS
Thank you guys for the amazing time! Would highly recommend this trip. We did see whales, beautiful views of paradise, some crap traps, and the site for the open shark dive. We loved the crew so much, we have now signed up for the shark dive! We can’t wait! The crew were fantastic, captain and skipper both knew and shared a ton of great information about the island. They took their time and were not in a rush. The sunset was also amazing. Could not have asked for a better trip!
We had an excellent adventure on our morning trip. The crew was great and took care of every possible detail to ensure all the guests had a good experience.
The live music was an added bonus that we truly enjoyed! Highly recommend this as a great way to spend a few hours on the water.
a long sleeve water shirt will be helpful for morning trips
Mahalo for your review! We are very happy that you enjoyed our tour. Hope you will join us again. - Team KBOS
Kaneohe Bay was an unforgettable day on the water! The crew was welcoming and friendly, the music set the perfect vibe, and there were plenty of fun water activities to enjoy. The spacious deck provided a comfortable spot to relax right at the Sandbar, and the snorkeling experience was incredible, with some of the best fish to see up close. Highly recommend!
Mahalo for your review & recommendation! - Team KBOS
Amazing place and nice people will definetly go back again
Mahalo for your review. Come back soon!! - Team KBOS
We had a blast at the sandbar! The boat ride there was fantastic with great music and a fun crew. Once there we got to hop on the Banana Boat w/ Captain Calvin and he really made sure we were comfortable with the speed (thumbs up for faster, shaka for same speed, and thumbs down to slow it up). In addition to that helped setup a ride back to the shuttle spot since my aunt had trouble walking that far. The staff there are the best!
We got lucky and went by some sea turtles while out there on the banana boat. They swam right beneath us!
There was also live music on the boat and it was sooo good. Great songs, great musicians and singers. Wow!
We also got to kayak around and tried the stand-up paddle board for the first time. It was amazing to be out in the ocean surrounded by the beauty of the water and green mountains. It's truly magical, and I hope it stays that way forever. We should all respect it and guard it.
This should be a "must do" when traveling to Oahu!
Definitely recommend getting on the Banana Boats + Raft! It's worth it!
Mahalo for your great review & sharing nice picture! - Team KBOS
The water was crystal clear and riding the stand-up pedal board was such a great experience. Every staff was very kind and welcoming. Also, kudos to the two musicians on the boat. The songs they played made the experience more enjoyable.
Mahalo for your review! - Team KBOS
The staff was very friendly. As soon as we got on the boat, we were able to see what looked like a whale's tail and back. There was music playing on the boat, and the breeze felt nice.
スタッフはとても親切でした。
ボートに乗ると直ぐにクジラのしっぽと背中らしきものをみることができました。ボートの中では音楽が流れていて風が気持ちよかったです。
It finished around 10:30, so I can make good use of the afternoon.
10時半くらいには終わったので午後は有効に使えます。
Staff is amazing and so kind! The sandbar is so clear and beautiful, we even saw a sea turtle paddle boarding around!
Mahalo for your review & beautiful picture! - Team KBOS
Smooth boat ride to the sandbar. Lunch was enjoyable. Music was wonderful. Staff was friendly and attentive. Other than the weather which is uncontrollable, we had a wonderful time.
We're very happy to hear that your family had a wonderful time. Mahalo! -Team KBOS
At the beginning of January, there are no sandbars due to the rainy season, and the water is about waist-deep. However, you can enjoy plenty of kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and snorkeling. We also tried the banana boat, which was quite intense. The live music on the boat was excellent, and all the staff spoke a bit of Japanese and engaged with us a lot, which made it very enjoyable.
1月初めは雨季のためサンドバーはなく、腰くらいまで水に浸かります。ですがカヤック、SUP、シュノーケリングをたっぷり楽しめます。バナナボートもやりましたが、結構激しめでした。ボートでは生演奏がとても良かったのとスタッフ全員片言の日本語でたくさん話しかけてくれ、とても楽しかったです。
I think it's better to wear your swimsuit since there is only one changing room on the boat. Also, when the boat returns to the harbor, everyone will disperse right away, and there won't be a place to
ボートの更衣室が一つしかないので水着を着て行った方がいいと思います。また帰りもボートがハーバーについたらそのまま解散で港に着替えるところがないので、早めにサンドバーを切り上げて着替えた方がいいです。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed it. We look forward to your next participation. From all the KBOS staff.
この度はツアーにご参加頂き誠にありがとうございました。楽しんで頂けた様で大変嬉しく思っております。またのご参加お待ちしております。 KBOS スタッフ一同
The staff was super kind, activities where safe and long enough for you to enjoy your time at the destination + it’s guaranteed that you’ll see fish if you snorkel :)
Mahalo for your review! - Team KBOS
We took our teenage daughters on this tour. Staff were friendly and the day went smoothly overall. I was very disappointed to see that the staff chum the waters (feed the fish) in order to make this a better snorkel experience for guests. Feeding the fish makes them more aggressive, leads to overpopulation and affect their health.
While we appreciated the live music on board and music played over speakers when in the water, the loud cheesy music on the way home was just too much (Baby Shark, Gangnum Style etc. ) This may appeal to some tourists but just created a very loud experience and took away from our enjoying the natural beauty around us.
The Kaneohe Sandbar is worth visiting, just make sure you this type of experience is right for you b
Mahalo for your review. We are sorry about that you were disappointed to feed the fish & loud music. We shared your feedback to our crews and make an effort to meet high expectations. - Team KBOS
As a non-swimmer, I enjoyed the trip as much as my family. Every crew member is wonderful, fun, and put safety as priority. Highly recommended!

The captain and crew were so great. We had such a great time. Highly recommend going on this tour!

The weather was perfect, and it was the best experience! Choosing the banana boat and tubing course was the right decision. During the banana boat ride, the boat staff took us to a sea turtle spot, so they stopped the boat for us to watch the sea turtles, and the kids were thrilled.
天気にも恵まれ最高でした♪バナナボートとチューブラインのコースで正解でした。バナナボートでは途中ボートの方が海亀のポイントに連れてってくれたので、ボートを止めて海亀ウォッチをしてくれ、子供も感激してました。
It's a bit cold, so long sleeves are a must.
少し寒いので長袖必須ですね。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed it. Please feel free to visit us again. We look forward to seeing you.

この度はツアーにご参加頂き誠にありがとうございました。楽しんで頂けた様ですね、大変嬉しく思います。また是非遊び委いらして下さい。お待ちしております。 KBOS スタッフ一同
The staff were bright and funny, and they were the best. The donuts we got on the boat were delicious, but the juice was just okay. The place to disembark from the boat is in 1.5m of water. It's a tour mainly focused on attractions. Swimwear is a must. The attractions were enjoyable and felt safe with the staff's supervision.
スタッフは明るく面白い人たちでサイコーでした。
船でもらったドーナツは美味しかったけど、ジュースはイマイチかも。
船から降りる場所は、1.5mの海におります。アトラクションメインのツアーです。水着は必須。アトラクションはスタッフの見守りもあって安心で楽しめました。
I participated on December 31, but the boat was in the shade and the bus's air conditioning was cold, so a change of clothes is necessary.
12/31参加でしたが、船は日陰、バスのエアコンは寒いので着替えは必要です。
We are very pleased to hear that you were able to enjoy the tour with peace of mind. Thank you for participating. From all of us at KBOS.
この度は安心してツアーを楽しんで頂けた様で大変嬉しく思います。ご参加ありがとうございました。KBOS スタッフ一同
I attended with high expectations, but contrary to my hopes, I wasn't that impressed. There are many more beautiful beaches on the East Coast, so I think it's better to look for those. The live music on the ship was very good.
期待して参加しましたが、期待に反しそれほど感動できませんでした。東海岸にはもっときれいなビーチがたくさんありますので、それを探していった方がいいと思います。船内の音楽演奏は、とても良かったです。
We are very sorry to hear that we could not meet your expectations despite your participation in the tour. The sea's appearance can vary due to weather and tidal changes, so we would be grateful if you could visit us again when the opportunity arises. Thank you for your feedback. From all the staff at KBOS.
この度はせっかくツアーにご参加頂いたのにご期待に沿えなかった様で大変残念に思っております。天候や潮の満ち引きなどによっても海の表情も異なりますので、また機会があればお越し頂けますと幸いです。ご感想を頂きありがとうございました。KBOS スタッフ一同
