This was my favorite part of my visit to Oahu! The views are stunning! An absolute must see. Both my boyfriend and I had never gone snorkeling before, but this tour made it very simple, safe, and fun for us. The staff are all friendly and helpful. A must do if you are visiting the beautiful island of Oahu.

Great experience out with the boat crew in Sandbar. Music was great and the entire crew shared the mahalo spirit. Definitely recommend getting to harbor early for parking. I had to park on street but you can safely with other cars.

I made a reservation for the morning session, which lasts about four hours in total. First, be aware that there is hardly any parking available for the rental cars. If you can't find a spot, you might have to park on the street along the road. (When I left after the morning session, there were cars parked all along both sides of the road.)
There were some people who struggled to find parking and were running late, but they waited for them, so I don't think you'll be left behind. However, it might be a good idea to call if you happen to be late.
As for what to bring, you'll need a swimsuit, sunscreen, and towels. You can go snorkeling, but be careful not to step on the coral, as it can cause injuries. It would be reassuring to have some kind of water shoes for the ocean.
For stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) and kayaking, it's first come, first served, and there are plenty of them available, so just let the staff know when you want to go out. During this time of year, the tide was high, so we couldn't see the sandbar, but the water was shallow enough for beginners, which I thought was nice.
On the way to and from the boat, we also got to experience the local excitement of Hawaii, which was really fun! Mahalo!
私は、午前の部で予約しました。全部で4時間程度です。まずレンタカーの人は駐車場が全然ないので注意です。止められなかったら、道沿いに路上駐車しました。(午前の部終わって帰る時には道の両側に路駐だらけでした。)
駐車場停めるのに手こずって遅い人いたけど待ってくれてましたので、恐らく置いていかれることはないかと思いますが万が一遅くなった場合は電話した方が良さそうです。
持ち物は、水着、日焼け止め、タオルなど。
シュノーケリングができるのですが、サンゴを踏んでしまって怪我する恐れがあります。海で履く用の靴下みたいなやつあると安心です。
supやカヤックは早い者勝ちで数も多いのでやりたい時にお兄さんに言えば乗れました。
この時期は潮が満ちてかサンドバーは見れなかったが足がつく程度の海で初心者にもいいのかなと思いました。
行き帰りの船上ではハワイのローカルな盛り上がりも体験できてとっても楽しかったです!!
マハロ〜!

The shuttle service to and from the hotel made it easy to get around, and I was able to receive explanations about tourist spots and snorkeling in Japanese, allowing me to enjoy the experience with peace of mind! The hamburgers we had on the boat were truly delicious... After getting into the water, it gets cold, so I think it's a good idea to prepare something to wear over your swimsuit (like a rash guard), hot water, a bath towel, and a change of clothes for after disembarking! It was a unique experience that I thoroughly enjoyed in Hawaii!
ホテルからの行き帰り送迎ありで楽に移動でき、日本語で観光スポット、シュノーケリングの説明を受けることができ、安心して体験を楽しめました!
船上で食べるハンバーガーも本当に沁みるおいしさでした…
海に入った後は寒くなるので、上から羽織れるもの(ラッシュガード等)、白湯、バスタオル、下船後の着替えなどを用意しておくとよいと思います!

I participated in a tour with two friends. Due to the rainy season in October, the sandbar was deeper than I expected (about chest height), but we were able to fully enjoy the beautiful scenery of the white sandy area while playing with floaties. It was my first experience with snorkeling, and I wasn't very good at swimming, which made me anxious. However, wearing a life jacket made me feel safe, and there was a clear pre-lecture, practice time in shallow water, and several guides watching over us, so the support system was sufficient. It was scary to go deeper than I imagined (maybe due to the rainy season?), but while desperately keeping up, I was able to see coral and sea turtles, making it a valuable experience. We encountered sea turtles several times on the way to and from the tour, allowing us to feel the nature of Hawaii. The light snack of spam onigiri was also delicious. I thought the price was a bit high, but I believe it was worth it for the unique experience that only a tour can provide. I highly recommend it as it offers a valuable opportunity to connect with Hawaii's nature.
友人2人とツアーに参加しました。10月雨季だった影響もあり、サンドバーは思っていたより水深は深めでした(胸下あたり)が、浮き輪で遊びながら白い砂地の美しい景色を十分楽しめました。シュノーケリングは初体験で、あまり泳ぎも得意ではなく不安だったのですが、ライフジャケット装着で安心ですし、解りやすく事前にレクチャーあり、浅瀬での練習時間あり、ガイドさんが数名で見守ってくれるのでフォロー体制も十分でした。想像以上に深いところまでいくので怖かったですが(雨季の影響もあるかも?)、必死について行きながら、サンゴやウミガメも見れて貴重な体験ができ満足でした。行きも帰りも何度も船の上からウミガメに会う事ができ、ハワイの自然を感じる事ができました。軽食のスパムおにぎりも美味しかったです。少し値段はお高めかな?と思いましたが、ツアーだからこそ体験できる価値もあり参加してよかったと思っています。ハワイの自然に触れる貴重な体験ができるので、絶対おすすめです。
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. Thank you very much for joining the tour with your friends the other day. I sincerely apologize that the condition of the sandbar was different from what you had imagined. Despite that, I am very happy that you bravely took on snorkeling for the first time. It was truly wonderful that you encountered many sea turtles. We would be delighted if you could extend your visit to Paradise of the Sea when you come back to Hawaii. We look forward to that day with the sea turtles!

This was my third time participating. I usually can't see the sandbar. If it's waist-deep, that's better. During the accompanying snorkeling, I was able to see fish, corals, and turtles. The stand-up paddleboarding felt free with two people sharing one board, and I enjoyed it. This time, the weather was nice and not cold, but last time the bus was cold and it was quite uncomfortable. A dry towel and something to wear over are essentials.
3度目の参加でした。いつも基本的にはサンドバーは拝めません。腰丈ならましな方です。付随するシュノーケリングで魚とサンゴ、カメも見れました。SUPは二人ひとつで自由な感じ、楽しめました。今回は天気が良く寒く無かったですが、前回はバスが寒くて辟易としました。乾いたタオルと羽織るものが必需品です。

Seven years ago, my wife and I participated, but just a week before, I fractured my shoulder bone, so I couldn't join the snorkeling or SUP activities. I was envious watching my wife challenge SUP for the first time and quickly stand up.
This time, I was in perfect health and was able to fully enjoy snorkeling and SUP with my wife, which had been my long-held wish.
Seven years ago, there were few SUP boards available, and we couldn't ride much due to waiting in line, but now there are plenty, allowing us to play freely without waiting.
During snorkeling, I was deeply moved to quietly watch a sea turtle come right up to me.
With the end of COVID, there were more Japanese participants. Over 80% of the bus and boat passengers were Japanese, but there were no Japanese-speaking staff. The entire experience was conducted in English, and I think both the clientele and staff have changed since seven years ago.
Seven years ago, before getting on the return bus, I had time to change into dry clothes in the restroom, so I came prepared to change, but everyone was waiting on the bus in their wet swimsuits, and I felt bad about that.
One more disappointing thing was that previously, a group photo of all participants, including staff, was taken at the sandbar and could be purchased online, but that service has been discontinued. It would be great if they could bring that back, as it makes for wonderful memories.
7年前に一度夫婦で参加しましたが、その1週間前に私が肩の骨を骨折してしまい、シュノーケリングもSUPも参加出来ずに終わりました。
妻がSUPのみチャレンジし、初めてなのに直ぐに立ち上がっているのを見て羨ましく思っていました。
今回は万全の体調で参加出来、念願のシュノーケリングもSUPも夫婦で思いっきり楽しむ事が出来ました。
7年前は遊べるSUPの数が少なく、順番待ちであまり乗れませんでしたが、現在は数も十分確保されており、順番待ち無く心置き無く遊ぶ事が出来ました。
シュノーケリングでも、目の前まで寄って来たホヌを静かに見る事が出来て、大変感動しました。
コロナが収束して日本人の参加者も増えて居ました。
乗って来たバスもボートも8割以上が日本人でしたが、日本語対応のスタッフが居ませんでした。
終始英語のみの進行で、7年前と客層もスタッフも変わっていたんだと思います。
7年前は帰りのバスに乗る前に、トイレで乾いた服に着替える時間があったので、そのつもりで着替えて来たら、皆濡れた水着のままバスに乗って待っており、申し訳ない事をしてしまいました。
あと一つだけ残念だったのは、以前はスタッフも含めた参加者全員のサンドバーでの集合写真を撮って、netで購入出来たのですが、その様なサービスが無くなっっていた事です。
良い思い出になるので、またやってくれると良いですね。

First, the pickup was confusing and chaotic.
Finally, the shuttle arrived, and we headed to the location, but the air conditioning was too cold.
We boarded the boat and went out to sea; the ocean was indeed beautiful, but the water temperature was low, making it difficult to stay in for long. Moreover, while they provided goggles, there were no fins available, and we couldn't go to areas with coral, so we couldn't see any fish.
Given the strong yen and inflation, it was disappointing that it didn't feel worth the high cost.

I participated with my daughter. The staff who provided explanations in Japanese before we set sail and those who guided us on the boat were all very kind, making the experience enjoyable from start to finish.
They let us know when we approached the area known as Heart Reef and when the honu appeared.
We played with SUP and other activities in the first half, followed by snorkeling in the second half. There were SUP boards, floaties, and water guns, and we had 45 minutes of fun. Along the way, the staff came around to each participant to take photos, which was a delightful service.
For snorkeling, those who couldn't swim were given something like a float to hold onto, and the staff pulled them along. Even if you can't swim, you can participate safely as long as you wear a life jacket, and the staff stays with you the whole time.
I was moved to swim with the honu.

Loved the sandbar and have never experienced anything like it. The entire journey, from the ukulele singers on the boat ride to the actual sandbar was very fun. The actual sandbar is like a floating lounge in the middle of the ocean with plenty of paddle boards, snorkel gear and kayaks. We purchased the banana boat and tubing experience, both which were very fun and faster than we thought! Overall a very fun morning in Hawaii.

I was worried about not being able to communicate in Japanese, but the tourists were separated into different boats for Japanese and foreign guests. There was one Japanese female crew member on our boat who kindly and patiently explained everything, which made me feel very safe and allowed me to enjoy the experience.
The sandbar had waves about knee-high, making it easy to walk around. The emerald green sea was incredibly beautiful, with very little current, and it felt so nice! I took many photos with the stunning scenery in the background, and I am very grateful for that.
We also got to see sea turtles, and when we moved to a spot with coral, I was able to snorkel while wearing a life jacket and see many beautiful fish, creating wonderful memories. (I can't swim, but with the life jacket and fins, I managed to swim alongside my husband.)
The hamburger lunch and drinks, along with the warm cocoa after snorkeling, were also very delicious. Thank you for the wonderful memories!! ♪♪
日本語通じないか不安でしたが、日本人観光客の船と外国の方で船が別れていて、船には日本人女性のクルーの方が一人いて、なんでも優しく丁寧に教えてくれたので、とても安心して楽しむことができました。
サンドバーは膝くらいの波の高さで安心して歩けました。
エメラルドグリーンの海はとても綺麗で、流れもほとんどなく穏やかでとても気持ちよかったです!
絶景をバックに写真もたくさん撮っていただき、大感謝です。
ウミガメも見れて、珊瑚のある場所へ移動してライフジャケットをつけてのシュノーケルも綺麗な魚をたくさん見ながら泳ぐことができ、とても思い出になりました。(私は泳げないですが、ライフジャケットと足ヒレで旦那と一緒でなんとか泳げました。)

Would highly recommend this package for the sandbar. The personnel are very experienced and friendly. Live music was great.
There were plenty of activities to choose from, and a perfect amount of time to try everything. The boat took us to a quieter area of the sandbar, so we basically had a private area to ourselves.
I'm glad we booked transportation through the package, as parking was full when we arrived.
Would want to go on this again!
Mahalo for your review and the beautiful picture! - Team KBOS

Everything about the whole experience was easy and convenient. We booked a party of 8 for a high school boy's trip and had an immeasurable amount of fun.
Booking was super easy and once completed you get a confirmation email and a waiver for everyone to fill out. Instructions were clear and concise and the check-in team members were friendly and accommodating.
Preston was engaging as he broke down the rules and expectations. Kaawa Entertainment, Jesse, and the Ukelele-ist kept us jammin' until we reached the bar. As we sailed away he was cracking jokes about us Cali folks, which was hilarious. The brothers Nohu and mimicked flight attendants by educating us on how to wear our life vests properly. The captains and the rest of the team shared their aloha hospitality with us serving us donuts for breakfast and keeping us hydrated with water and tang.
I will definitely come back and do this again!
Mahalo for your review and nice picture! We look forward to seeing you again. - Team KBOS

This was the best tour I have done while living here on Oahu! We wanted to sit back, relax and enjoy the experience. The Crew was so friendly and helpful. I will be recommending this tour to all our future visitors! Additionally, the lunch was bomb!! Cheeseburgers using local beef and fresh vegetables. They are local, they support local and are the true definition of Aloha!

I participated with my husband, daughter, and middle school grandson. The sandbar wasn't at low tide, but it felt safe in the shallow water. I wanted to try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) too, so we all enjoyed it as a family. Later, my husband and I watched our daughter and grandson enjoy snorkeling from the boat, and it was so much fun! They were thrilled to see many turtles.
Above all, I was very satisfied with the staff member who spoke Japanese; she explained everything clearly and interestingly. My daughter and grandson both said they want to do it again! Thank you for all your help.
主人と娘と中学生の孫と参加しました。サンドバーは干潮ではなかったけど、浅瀬で安心感がありました。SUPは私もやってみたかったので家族で楽しみました。その後シュノーケルは私と主人は船から娘と孫が楽しんでいるのを見てましたが、とっても楽しかった!亀をたくさん見れたと大喜びでした。
何より日本語の話せる女性のスタッフが分かりやすく面白く色々話をしてくれとても満足でした。
またやりたい!と娘も孫も言ってます。
色々お世話になりました。

The crew on this boat is AMAZING! They will make you feel so welcome and right at home. Like you are traveling with old friends. We had a great time and saw a ton of beautiful fish around the reef and even more turtles. We had our one year old son with us and the crew could not have been better and more caring about us having the best possible experience. HIGHLY recommend this tour!!!

I think it's completely not worth the 20,000 yen per person, even considering that it's a natural phenomenon and the sand may not appear. It says that meals are included, but even in the morning, there wasn't even coffee, just a sweet donut and some bad juice mixed with water. My daughter and I participated in snorkeling, but the sea wasn't that beautiful, and there were no fish. When I asked the Japanese woman in charge, she bluntly said that there were fish a little further away by the coral, but we were told not to go beyond the coral, so we ended up not seeing many fish and our satisfaction level was zero.
It seemed like you could also do stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking, but once everyone used them, they didn't pass them on to the next person, so I only got to ride for a little bit about 10 minutes before the meeting time. I think they should either set a usage time or increase the number of equipment available. Other newlyweds looked bored floating on the rest boards in the sea, and it was really sad to see.
I will never participate again, and I think anyone considering joining should just pay for a different beach instead of this. I really want my 40,000 yen back!! (laughs)
自然現象だからサンドが現れないのは仕方ないとして、1人約2万円払って行く価値は全くないと思います。
食事付きと記載されていますが、朝なのにコーヒーすらなく甘ったるいドーナツ1つと水で溶かした不味いジュースかお水でした。
娘と2人でシュノーケルの参加でしたが、海もそこまで綺麗ではなく魚もいないし、主催の日本人女性に聞いたら少し離れたサンゴの所に魚がいると無愛想に言われました。
ですが、サンゴより向こうは行かないで下さいって言われたので結局魚はあまり見れず満足度はゼロでした。
その他サップやカヤックが出来るようでしたが、みなさん一度使うと中々次の人にまわさないので、結局集合時間の10分前にちょこっと乗れたくらいです。
使用時間を決めるか、もっと増やすか改善するべきだと思います。
他の新婚さんも海に浮いている休憩するボードにつまらなさそうにしていて、とても可哀想でした。
もう2度と参加しませんし、参加を考えてるみなさんもお金払わなくても普通に別の海に入った方が満足出来ると思います。
ほんと4万円返して欲しい!!笑
We are very sorry to hear that your experience with the KBOS tour did not meet your expectations. The weather and sea conditions, such as water levels, vary daily and are beyond our control, but we hope you were still able to enjoy the natural beauty of Hawaii during the tour. Our tours welcome participants from various countries and cultures. We aim to create an atmosphere where everyone can share their experiences at the sandbar and enjoy activities together without strict time limits, making it easy for guests to interact with the crew. However, it seems that there wasn't enough time for activities during your tour. Regarding meals, we provide sandwiches in the afternoon, while the morning tour includes pastries like donuts or muffins. We need to reconsider how we communicate meal options to make it clearer for our customers, rather than just stating "meal included." We will share your valuable feedback internally and strive to improve our tours. Thank you for your input.
Sincerely,
The KBOS Staff
この度はKBOS ツアーにご参加頂きましたがご期待に沿えない体験となってしまった様で大変残念で申し訳なく思っております。天候や水位など海の状況は日々異なりコントロール出来ませんが、その様なハワイの自然を楽しんで頂ければと思い日々ツアーを催行させて頂いております。また私どものツアーには色々な国、文化の方が参加して下さっております。サンドバーでの体験を共有して頂き、アクティビティにつきましても皆さんで声を掛け合いながら共有し、利用時間等を設けずゆったりと楽しんでもらえるツアーを目指しておりクルーにも声かけやすいような雰囲気作りを目指しているのですが、、アクティビティにあまり時間が取れなかったのですね。お食事につきましては午後はサンドウィッチを提供しておりますが午前のツアーはドーナツもしくはマフィンなどのペースとリーとなっております。”食事付”とだけの記載でなくもっとお客様にわかり易いよう内容を記載するなどもう一度考えなければいけないですね。今回頂きましたご意見は社内で共有させて頂き、一層より良いツアーの催行にむけて努力させて頂く所存です。貴重なご意見を頂きありがとうございました。 KBOS スタッフ一同

We had the best time during our time at the Kaneohe Bay Sandbar Ocean Sports Adventure. The live music (an experience in itself) really sets the tone for the day. The staff were friendly and helpful. One of the crew members told me to step on him to get into the kayak. Because he was shorter, he was underwater, while I used him as stairs. And we actually had to do this twice, because I flipped out on the first try. We purchased the package that included the bumper tube ride, and I must admit I misjudged our driver, who I think was the boat captain. For some reason, I was under the impression that she was going to take us us a mild tour around the bay. This was a prime example of don’t judge a book by its cover. Let me say this clearly: la capitana was all throttle. Honestly, the tubing was the best part of my day. I would recommend this to all. Great time.
