This was my first time to Hawaii and I took my son and out of all of our excursions this was by far the best one hands-down! Each and everyone of the crew members were so friendly and helpful and made you feel as if you were at home on their tour boat and the music was a great touch. We have never snorkeled or used a paddle board before and this adventure allowed the most beautiful perfect safe spot for our first time. I have never been in water that beautiful and if you were nervous at all some of the crew even stays in the water with you in all the areas at all times. Just book this tour you will not regret it! Thank you for providing my son and I priceless memories that we will cherish forever.

The afternoon on the Kaneohe Sandbar was amazing!! There were so many choices of things to do : kayaking, paddle boarding, snorkeling, sunning on the floating deck, or playing volleyball. The reef was filled with beautiful fish and the sand underfoot was smooth and soft. The crew was organized and efficient with each member per for their job effectively. But the icing on the cake was the live entertainment from two very talented musicians who played and sang as we rode out and back to the sandbar. It’s an adventure that I will book again when I return to the island!

Great weather, Hawaii vibes, crew/staff was friendly, helpful, funny, and made us feel right a home.
Great experience for families. The water is not too deep for children. Maybe, above the knee.

First of all, we passed Hanauma Bay and stopped at the Lanai Lookout, which was an unexpected bonus that I wouldn't have ever seen, being on a work trip with a very brief window to go out on a Sunday. I'm very grateful to him for a joyful trip, the extra stop (thank you!!!!!), and the information he shared en route to Hanauma Bay, about where different creatures may be seen, areas of the bay, types of fish, and even local characters (yes, fish). One of the fish characters (I think a Humuhumu? but I could be wrong) was described as a chihuahua who will pester you if you cross paths, LOL! The bay is simply some of the most beautiful water and fish I've ever snorkeled in the company of. Just incredible. 11/10. Thank you for an amazing experience.

Since I didn't check the tide, the water was about waist-deep. I recommend that those who go check the tide schedule, including high and low tides. I have no regrets as my goal was to enter the sea.
満ち引きを見てなかった為、腰くらいまで水がありました。行かれる人は潮の満ち引き、大潮小潮などを調べての参加をお勧めいたします。
自分は海に入る事が目的だった為、後悔はありません。
The tides and ocean conditions vary daily and are natural phenomena that we cannot control. However, we hope you can enjoy the beauty of Hawaii's nature, which is included in our tours. Thank you for participating in the tour and for your review. From all of us at KBOS.

I was supposed to be snorkeling at the sandbar by now, but I couldn't get picked up at the designated location. After struggling with the poor response from the tour company, I ended up wasting time and didn't want to inconvenience the other participants who were already there, so I reluctantly decided to forgo the tour.
Until now, I thought I didn't need the phone function on my smartphone as long as I had internet access, but without a public phone and not being a guest at the hotel where the meeting point was, it became an essential function for me.
It was already challenging to make a call without leaving the meeting point the tour company specified, and after waiting for 30 minutes, I had to ask the hotel reception if there was a public phone. Thanks to the kind receptionist, I was able to contact them using the hotel phone.
At that time, I was told to call a taxi using an app, and although I tried to download the app and request a ride, the poor internet connection caused repeated errors. As the meeting time approached, I had to sadly give up.
Even calling to inform them of my cancellation was a struggle, and in the end, I had to rely on the JAL Pack reception to make the call for me to complete the cancellation. For someone like me, who couldn't use the phone and has limited English skills, it was an exhausting two hours.
If the tour company had arranged a taxi when I contacted them, I might have been able to participate. If I could have communicated via LINE, they might have realized my situation sooner and come to pick me up. I have many requests now, but it was a painful lesson for me.
Today was the only day during my stay when the tide allowed me to see the sandbar, and it's unfortunate that I couldn't reschedule for another day. Both the tour company and participants need to consider how to properly handle emergencies.
本当は今頃サンドバーでシュノーケリングをしてたはずなのに、指定場所にピックアップに来てもらえず、ツアー会社に連絡したその後の対応の悪さに苦労した挙句時間を費やし、すでに現地にいる他のツアー参加者に迷惑をかけたくなかったので、仕方なく参加を断念しました。
今までネット環境さえあればスマホの電話機能なんて必要ないと思っていましたが、公衆電話もなく集合場所のホテルの宿泊者でもない私にとっては、必須の機能でした。
ツアー会社の言う集合場所から離れずに電話することがまず難関で、30分待って仕方なくホテルのレセプションで公衆電話があるかどうかを尋ね、親切なレセプショニストのおかげでホテルの電話で連絡させてもらえました。
その時にアプリかなんかでタクシーを呼んで現地まで行ってと言われて、アプリをダウンロードして配車を試みるも、ネット状況が悪くて何度もエラーに。そのうち現地集合時間が迫り、泣く泣く断念することに。
断念するとの電話連絡もひと苦労し、結果JALパックのレセプションに泣きつき、電話をしてもらってキャンセル連絡完了。
電話を使えず、英語も拙い私にとっては、クタクタに疲れた2時間でした。
ツアー会社に連絡した時にタクシーの手配をしてくれれば参加できたかも、LINEで連絡できたらもっと早く気づいてもらえてピックアップに来てもらえたかも。今はいろいろ要望もありますが、私も手痛い勉強になりました。
滞在期間中、唯一サンドバーにお目にかかれる潮位だった今日、他の日にリスケが出来ず残念です。
緊急時の対処がきちんとできるかどうか、ツアー会社も参加者も考えなくてはいけませんね。
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by our oversight, which prevented you from participating in our sandbar tour that you were looking forward to. Unfortunately, we were unable to communicate effectively, and with other customers present, we could not return the bus, resulting in your inability to join the tour.
In light of this incident, we are considering how to better assist customers who cannot reach us by phone. While we cannot undo the disappointment this has caused, we have processed a full refund for you.

I participated with three senior members... I experienced kayaking and SUP for the first time, and I had a great time. The local staff were professionals at creating a relaxed atmosphere, and I never felt uncomfortable; I truly enjoyed being among the young people. While I'm still energetic, I want to challenge myself with many more activities. The return shuttle bus was really cold, so it's essential to have something to wear in addition to a towel.
シニアメンバー3人で参加しました…
カヤックにSUP、年甲斐もなく初めて体験しましたが、楽しく過ごせました現地スタッフの人達も場を和ませるプロで一つも嫌な気分にはならず、ホントに若者に混じって楽しませていただきました

Loved this Adventure. Large spacious catamaran. Love the live music. Greeted with smiles, donuts, and tang. Can’t swim? Never snorkeled? This is the place to experience these activities. Water level at the sandbar was knee high. Lots of fish to see hiding in the coral. Don’t know what you’re looking at? Ask the knowledgeable crew. Need a bit of excitement - ride the banana boat - that will wake you up! Highly recommend this adventure.

Reading the reviews, it was definitely the right choice to take motion sickness medication. The boat rocked more than I expected and it was a bit scary, but I didn't get seasick.
Even for someone like me who isn't good with thrill rides, I was able to enjoy parasailing!
Also, I thought I would get wet, so I only brought the bare minimum (smartphone, tip, hotel key card, towel), but I wish I had brought my credit card to pay for the optional photo shoot.
口コミを読んで、酔い止めを飲んで行って正解でした。船は思ったより揺れて怖かったですが、酔うことはありませんでした。
絶叫系が苦手な私でも、パラセイリングを楽しむことができました!
また、濡れると思い最低限の荷物(スマホ、チップ、ホテルのカードキー、タオル)しか持っていきませんでしたが、オプションの写真撮影代を支払うためにクレカを持っていけばよかったと思いました。

We took our 2.5 year old toddler on this tour and it was a wonderful experience. What’s great about this tour is that once you’re out at the sandbar you can paddle board, kayak, snorkel, and/or swim, hangout at the floating deck, etc. I’m glad we had these activities because there’s not that much to do at the sandbar otherwise! I had fun paddle boarding and kayaking with my toddler (wearing a life jacket, which they provide). We were done with the activities after a while and my toddler wanted to be back on the “big boat,” which was also fine because the boat is comfortable, provides shade, and has bathrooms and changing rooms. Just remember to bring some drinks and snacks to enjoy after all the exercise!

It started 30 minutes late due to the rain. But before we knew it, the boat arrived, and we quickly set off into the open sea! For those who get seasick, it's advisable to take some medication because the ride had a lot of floating sensations, haha.
About five groups boarded, and one by one, we were connected for parasailing and soared into the sky. Each group enjoyed about five minutes before being dropped into the sea and collected back onto the boat, haha. Both the time on the boat and during parasailing were so much fun, and it was an amazing experience!
雨が降ってて予定より30分遅れで始まりました。でもあっとゆうまに船の迎えが来てあっとゆうまに沖の方まで出発!
船酔いする人は薬飲んどいたほうがいいくらい浮遊感たっぷりの乗り心地でした笑笑
それから5組くらい乗り込み順番にパラセーリングに繋がれて空へと舞い上がっていき1組5分くらい楽しんだら海へジャボーンと落とされて船へと回収されます笑
船に乗ってる時もパラセーリング中もどっちも楽しくて最高に良い思いです!

I participated in the simplest plan (without optional activities or transportation).
On the day of the tour, I took thebus from Ala Moana Shopping Center, leaving a little after 7:00 AM. There wasn't much delay, and we arrived around 8:10 AM. The harbor seems to mainly serve local fishermen. There was a small shop selling alcohol, soft drinks, snacks, and fishing gear.
There is a changing room on the boat, but it can only accommodate one person at a time, so I think it's better to wear your swimsuit underneath.
Fortunately, there was a Japanese staff member on our tour! Additionally, among the foreign staff, there was someone who spoke Japanese fluently. There were also safety instructions written in Japanese, so those who are anxious about English can feel at ease.
Since I was 29 weeks pregnant, I enjoyed a little snorkeling with my husband and then just relaxed on the boat, but others were really enjoying activities like stand-up paddleboarding and beach volleyball.
When participating, I recommend checking the low and high tide times to choose the best tour time! It was a lot of fun!
一番シンプルなプラン(オプションアクティビティなし、送迎なし)で参加しました。
当日はアラモアナショッピングセンターを7時過ぎに出発するthebusで向かい、バスの遅れもそこまでなく、8:10ごろには到着しました。
ハーバーは地元の釣り人などがメインで利用されているようです。アルコール、ソフドリ、軽食、釣具などを販売している小さな売店もありました。
船上に着替える部屋がありますが、1名ずつしか利用できないので、水着を下に着てくるのがベターだと思います。
私たちのツアーでは運良く日本人スタッフがおりました!また、外国人スタッフの中に日本語が達者な方もいました。日本語で書かれた注意文も用意されており、英語に不安がある方も安心です^ ^
妊娠29週で参加したため、旦那とシュノーケリングを少し楽しみ、あとは船上でゆっくりするだけにしましたが、他の方々はSUPやビーチバレーなど、すごくエンジョイしていました^ ^
参加の際は是非干潮・満潮時刻と睨めっこしてツアー時間帯を選ぶと良いと思います!

It was fun to drive on the open off-road surrounded by mountains, but sand gets into your mouth and ears, so it would be good to have a mask that covers your mouth and ears. There is a group self-introduction time before departure, and there are several stops along the way for explanations and quizzes. Since some level of communication in English is required, it can be a bit challenging for shy individuals.
山に囲まれたひらけたオフロードを走れるのは楽しかったですが、口の中や耳の中まで砂が入ってくるので、口元や耳を覆うマスクがあると良いです。
出発前のグループでの自己紹介タイムや、途中何度か下車して説明やクイズなどがあります。
そこそこ英語でのコミュニケーションを求められるため、人見知りにはハードル高いです。
