Super fun activities - love it!
Activity Date: 2022/09/15 | Posted on: 2022/10/08

Vibe was great, music was awesome. They had live music on our trip to the location and played music while we played in the water. It was the best activity we booked on our trip. We enjoyed paddle boarding the best. But just hanging out in the middle of the ocean was so much fun. Would definitely recommend. I didn't book the extra activities and still had a great time. Don't forget to bring your reef safe sunscreen. The crew was great and very helpful.

Very memorable experience!

My family enjoyed this tour. All staff are very nice and helpful. Elvin helped my 8-year old son in kayaking. The gentleman at snorkeling helped me when I couldn’t swim back to the boat. The bus driver was very nice too. Oh the staffs on the boat are all friendly. Thank you all for the wonderful experience.

Definitely the best bang for your buck.

Parking was easy if you got there early enough. The lunch was offered as we got on the boat, so if you miss breakfast you won't have to wait long to eat. We got to try the paddle board and chill in the middle lounge area. The tide was pretty high and the current was pushing, but we still had a great time.

Great crew! Love how you can byob! Beautiful water and activities. Only wish it would be a bit longer. If you have booked a activity (tubing or banana boat) expect to lose about 30 mins for a 3-4 minute ride. Other than that all was great

We had a great time at the sandbar! The staff was friendly, professional and explained all the safety rules to ensure we all had a nice time. We enjoyed the live music to and from our destination. Our family was able to snorkel and use the kayaks and paddle boards. What a nice afternoon enjoying the sandbar in Kaneohe Bay!!

First of all, the staff is amazing. So fun, nice and helpful in all ways. Make sure to go during low tide though. We ended up going during high tide and wasn't able to touch the floor. Other than that, everything was great!

Such a good time!

I book this for me and 3 other people. We absolutely loved everything! The boat ride was really comfortable and they did their best to keep parties separated for COVID safety. We added the banana boat to our day and it was a little scary but so fun! I was having a tough time getting on the board but the staff was super helpful and reassured all of us. I wish we got to ride the boat more than once or later in the day, but it was still fun.

Overall, the trip was great and the staff provided so much to do!

You should definitely go on a sunny day! It was unusually rainy on the day I went, and I thought it would have been really amazing if it had been clear. It didn't seem like we could see any turtles or anything like that.

絶対晴れの日に行くべきです!当日は珍しく雨が降ってしまったので、これで腫れていたら本当に最高だろうなと思いました。亀などは見れるような感じではありませんでした。

Activity Date: 2022/09/24 | Posted on: 2022/09/28

I participated alone, but I was able to enjoy myself thoroughly. I did SUP, kayaking, and snorkeling, all of which were included in the price during the time spent at the sandbar, so I could fully enjoy those activities without any worries. There was a stage on the boat with musicians, and I was able to enjoy everything from pop folk to Hawaiian music during the round trip to and from the sandbar. When I participated, there were only three Japanese people, but they provided explanations in Japanese, and I felt their hospitality. I wanted to swim with sea turtles and dolphins, so I signed up for an optional tour for that. Although I didn't go diving, I was able to fully enjoy the ocean. It's best to check the tide levels and aim for times when the tide is as low as possible. When I participated, the tide was about knee-high, but the beauty of the sandbar was captivating.

一人での参加だったが十分楽しむことができた。私はSUPとカヤックとシュノーケルをしたが、全てサンドバーにいる時間内で料金に含まれているので、そういったことも気にせず満喫できた。船内にはステージがあってミュージシャンもいて、ポップスフォークからハワイアンミュージックまでサンドバーまでの行き帰りの時間もめいいっぱい楽しむことができた。私が参加した時は日本人が3人しかいなかったが、日本語で説明をしてくれたり、おもてなしの心を感じた。海亀やイルカと遊泳をしたかったので、それについては別途オプショナルツアーを申し込み、ダイビングこそしなかったものの、十分に海を満喫することができた。参加日時は潮位を確認し出来るだけ潮位が低い時を狙うべき。私の参加時は膝上くらいの潮位だったが、サンドバーの綺麗さには見入るものがあった。

Family of six had a great time! Check in process was super easy as we filled out the waivers online. Once on the boat and at your table lunch is served. We ate while on the short boat ride to the sandbar and enjoyed live music. Every staff member on the blast was super friendly and made the experience that much more enjoyable. I highly recommend this experience as it’s fun for the entire family. You can relax in the water play volleyball, kayak, paddle board, or hangout on the platform.

Deeper than I expected.
思ったよりも深い
Activity Date: 2022/09/01 | Posted on: 2022/09/24

The activities were plentiful, and we had plenty of time to enjoy ourselves!
On the boat, there were few people wearing masks. The boat was quite full of people.
The toilets were not the flushing type; instead, you had to put toilet paper in a trash can. Since we were on the sea, it might be unavoidable, but as a Japanese person, I was concerned about hygiene.
I thought it would be better if there were trash cans with lids.
Overall, the music was pleasant, the crew members were kind, and my elderly father also enjoyed it, so I think it was a good experience.

アクティビティが充実しており、時間もたっぷりありましたので楽しむ事ができました!
船の上ではマスクをしてる人は少数。割と船いっぱいに人がいました。
トイレは流すタイプではなく、トイレットペーパーをゴミ箱に入れるタイプ。海の上なので仕方ないのかもしれませんが、日本人としては、衛生面が気になりました。
蓋のあるゴミ箱とかならまだいいかなと思いました。
全体的には音楽も心地よく、乗務員の方も親切で高齢の父親も楽しんでいましたし、行って良かったと思います。

We’re in our 80’s, and this was the PERFECT choice of cruise. Wonderful big boat, delicious lunch, and very enthusiastic and helpful crew! Also the two musicians were amazing, with lovely Hawaiian songs. As for the activities, it was easy to get up and down the stairs to the water, and the sandbar and coral were right there. Lots of other activities easily available, but we were there for the snorkeling. A lovely day! Thank you!

We really enjoyed the excursion; it was well organized and very user friendly excursion. The crew was excellent; kept everything going smoothly with the lunch, snorkeling and paddle boards. The guys hosting and playing music (Jesse) were super friendly and spent a lot of time talking with and hanging out with the guest; they offered tons of helpful information on other island activities.

Smooth check-in, friendly staff. Boat seating was good, not stuffed lime sardines. Donuts, water and Tang all complimentary.

Their musicians are top notch beyond all my expectations, simply amazing folks, voice, and guitar/ukulele skills. Sandbar is truly a unique experience and we did not feel rushed nor bored while there. Seriously, just book it. It is so worth it!

This tour is a must do! The organization was plain up perfect, easy pick up and check in! On board you get greeted by the different crew members, get introduced to the boat and the band starts playing wonderful music! The crew did an amazing job making everyone feel grateful. The lifeguards at the different events (Paddle boarding, kayaking, snorkeling) all were very friendly and fun to talk to, but yet still very professional. The snorkeling is amesome with a great reef to see some fishes! The donuts were also very good!

GREAT for groups!!!
Activity Date: 2022/09/09 | Posted on: 2022/09/15

Our group of 9 loved this excursion! so many things to do during this boating trip which is perfect for bigger groups. They have all of the equipments for you!

We didn't get the food package but you can bring your own food on the boat, plus it's only a couple of hours.

- Snorkeling: the sandbar was perfect for snorkeling because of the calm ocean, be careful of the jellyfishes that float in the water

- Kayaking: Also super fun!! my group had a race with eachother! would do it again!

All of the boating staff were super friendly, loved the experience and would recommended it to big groups!

My only complaint is that I WISH IT WAS LONGER. Otherwise, this was hands down one of the best activities we did.

GREAT PEOPLE.
The musicians were amazing and so friendly! It was such a great time.

The activity itself surpassed all of my expectations.
I honestly will come back and do this tour every time I visit! My friends and family all agreed and we were a large party of 12!

You have to do this or you'll honestly be missing out!
