Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Hawaiian Music - Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports

Best activity in Oahu!!!

Reviewed by: Randy

It was my first time out at the Kaneohe Sandbar on my fourth trip to Oahu.
I've heard about it before, never had a chance. It was everything I expected and beyond. The crew was very friendly. It has to be the best activity I've ever done in Oahu!!

Heavenly Sea 天国の海

Reviewed by: sup

The water level was higher than I expected, and I couldn't find any sandy beaches, but I was able to enjoy snorkeling as a result.

Also, the rental stand-up paddleboards (SUP) were very popular, so if you don't go early, you'll have to wait a long time.

思ってたより水位が高く、砂浜には出会えませんでしたがその分シュノーケリングが堪能できました。

また、レンタルできるSUPはとても人気だったため、早く行かないと長い時間待つことになります。

It started with a live performance on the boat, followed by bumper tubes and banana boat rides, and then snorkeling, which was full of fun! We even encountered a sea turtle (^^) And finally, we indulged in the live performance once again... I sincerely pray for the reconstruction of Maui.

船上ライブに始まり、バンパーチューブ&バナナボートその後シュノーケリングと楽しさ満載でした！
ウミガメにも遭遇して(^^)
そして最後に再びライブに酔いしれ…
マウイ島の再建を心よりお祈りいたします。

Reviewed by: Marfy

The lunch was delicious, and the staff was friendly. However, whether the sandbar appears depends on the tide, so it's best to check the tide schedule in advance. Since this can be somewhat predicted, I feel that the tour company should provide some guidance on this. If they don't, it's reasonable to think that the chances of the sandbar appearing are low.

ランチは美味しく、スタッフもフレンドリーです。ただ、サンドバーが現れるかどうかは潮位次第なので、あらかじめ満ち引きを確認された方が良いです。ある程度は予想できる事なのでツアー会社が目安を伝えるべきな気もしますが、それをしないと言うことは、サンドバーが現れるかタイミングは少ないと考えた方が良いでしょう。

It was different from what I expected. And it was too cold and painful. 思ってたのとは違った。そして寒すぎてつらかった。

Reviewed by: すぎゃん

There was absolutely no white sandy beach due to high tide. As for snorkeling, the water wasn't particularly clear, and while the staff fed the fish to attract them, there were only a few dark-colored ones; it wasn't an experience that would leave you in awe with beautiful fish.

There are many jagged corals, so going barefoot is dangerous. It really hurts if you bump into them, so I recommend wearing marine shoes.

It was my first time on a banana tube, and it was a lot of fun. I almost fell off several times but managed to hold on tightly and stay safe. I didn't try the banana boat, but I think the bumper tube is more thrilling and allows you to scream your heart out.

Lastly, even though it was midsummer, it was incredibly cold. They only have cold drinks available. Make sure to bring a jacket and a beach towel. Even wearing a hoodie, it was cold. By the way, they sell long-sleeved hoodies at ABC as well. In Hawaii, it’s freezing inside buildings, on buses, and on boats.

満潮なのか白い砂浜全くありませんでした。それよりも、シュノーケルですが海は特に透明でもなく、魚もスタッフがエサをあげて寄ってこさせてはいますが、黒っぽいのが少しいるだけで、きれいな魚がたくさんいて感動するようなことはありませんでした。
ゴツゴツのサンゴがたくさんあるので素足は危ないです。当たると本当に痛いですのでマリンシューズを履くことをおすすめします。
バンパーチューブは初めてだったのでとても楽しかった。何度も落ちそうになったけど必死にしがみついてなんとか無事でした。バナナボートはやりませんでしたが、バンパーチューブのほうが思いっきり叫べるしスリリングで楽しいと思います。
最後に、真夏でしたがまじで死ぬほど寒いです。飲み物は冷たいものしかありません。必ず上着、ビーチタオルを持っていってください。パーカー着ても寒い。ちなみにABCでも長袖のパーカーなど売っています。ハワイは建物内もバスも船の上も死ぬほど寒いです。

Reviewed by: よもぎ

We took a boat from the port, which we reached by bus in about an hour from Ala Moana. The live music was lovely, and the lunch was quite tasty.

On that day, the wind was strong and the water was cold, so I returned to the boat after wading in up to my waist. Since my condition and the water temperature didn't match well, I gave it four stars.

My two college-aged daughters enjoyed kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and swimming for a full two and a half hours. Most of the other guests were having fun in the sea.

アラモアナからバスで1時間くらいで到着した港で船に乗りました。生演奏もステキで、ランチも割とおいしかったです。

この日は風邪が強く、水が冷たかったので、私は腰まで入水したところで船に戻りました涙

The beautiful sandbar, of course, the delicious donuts, and the music along the way created a wonderful atmosphere and made for enjoyable memories☆ 美しいサンドバーはもちろん、美味しいドーナツも道中の演奏も雰囲気がよく楽しい思い出になりました☆

Reviewed by: せいママ☆

We participated as a family of four (two boys in 6th and 4th grade). The pickup was smooth, and the shuttle bus was new and comfortable. There was one Japanese female staff member on site, which made the children feel at ease. We checked the low tide times in advance and made a reservation, so we were able to play in water that was about thigh-deep at the sandbar. By the time we returned to the boat, the water level had risen significantly, which surprised the kids (it was a great experience). The wind was strong, and the SUP and canoe were quickly swept away, but we had plenty of fun. The SUP had a loose screw and was exposed, which could have caused injuries. The snorkeling was just for fun, so if you're looking for a more serious snorkeling experience, I recommend a different tour. There were jellyfish along the way, but the staff informed us, so we avoided getting stung. I'm glad I brought aqua shoes, as there were a lot of corals, and going barefoot could lead to injuries. We didn't see any sea turtles on this tour, but it seems like they were spotted on another tour, so I plan to try again someday. I recommend arriving a bit earlier than the meeting time to change clothes, as there are only 1-2 changing rooms for passengers. The beautiful sandbar, delicious donuts, and the music along the way created a wonderful atmosphere and made for a fun memory!☆

家族4人（小6小4男児）で参加しました。ピックアップもスムーズで送迎バスも新しく快適でした。現地には日本人女性スタッフが1人がいたので子供たちも安心でした。肝心のサンドバーは事前に干潮時間を調べて予約したので太もも位の高さで遊べました。船に戻る頃には大分水位が上がっていたので子供たちもびっくりしていました（いい体験です）。風が強くSUPやカヌーはすぐ流されてしまいましたが十分楽しめました。SUPからねじが外れていてむき出しでケガしそうでした。シュノーケリングは遊び程度なので本格的なシュノーケリングがしたい方は別のツアーをおすすめします。途中毒クラゲもいましたがスタッフが教えてくれたので刺されずに済みました。持って行ってよかったのがアクアシューズです。サンゴがいっぱいあるので素足だとケガすると思います。このツアーではウミガメは見れず、別のツアーでは見れたようなのでいつかリベンジします。集合時間よりも早めに上がって着替えを済ませることをおススメします。（乗客対して更衣室が1～2か所しかありません）美しいサンドバーはもちろん、美味しいドーナツも道中の演奏も雰囲気がよく楽しい思い出になりました☆

I was first grateful that there were Japanese staff members since I am not fluent in English. The explanations were very clear. All the staff were cheerful and very kind, often engaging in conversation. The donuts were delicious, and there was plenty of water available.

We were able to enjoy both the banana boat and the bumper tube, and there were many types of activities to choose from. The wonderful live music was soothing, and we had a really fun time!

The weather wasn't great, so the water wasn't clear, and it was cold when the wind blew. It seems that it rains every day due to the geography, so there's not much to be done about that. I recommend wearing a rash guard.

英語が堪能でないので、日本人スタッフがいてくれたことにまず感謝でした。説明がよくわかりました。スタッフの方は皆さん明るくて、話しかけてくれたりしてとても優しかったです。ドーナツも美味しかったし、水分もたくさん用意されてました。
バナナボート、バンパーチューブ両方できて、遊べる種類もたくさんあるし、素晴らしい生演奏に癒されて、とても楽しい時間でした！

お天気がイマイチでしたので、海の中もクリアーでなく風があると寒かった。地形的に毎日雨降るそうで仕方ない所ですが。ラッシュガード着用をオススメします。

Reviewed by: かにちゃん

The meeting place was easy to find, and traveling by car was comfortable. (Since it was quite a long ride and there were some rough roads, those who are prone to motion sickness might want to have some medication on hand.)

There were about 50 to 60 people on the boat, which was more than I expected. The MC created a lively atmosphere, making it a fun experience. The meal consisted of water, juice, and donuts, which were quite simple, and it was a self-service style. Some participants from other countries brought alcohol and snacks, and there didn't seem to be any restrictions on that, so if you want to enjoy your meal, it might be better to prepare something in advance.

As for the sandbar, it was initially cold due to the weather, and it didn't look very beautiful at first, but I thought it would be a shame not to try canoeing or stand-up paddleboarding, which turned out to be enjoyable. It seems that we were able to observe large fish while snorkeling!

At the end, the sun came out, and I was able to see the scenery I had imagined, which was great. It might just have been the day I experienced, but I thought that perhaps the temperature rises more in the afternoon than in the early morning.

Overall, the staff were friendly and fun, and I had a wonderful experience.

集合場所は分かりやすく車での移動も快適でした。
（かなり長い間乗るのと、険しい道もあったので車酔いをいやすい方は酔い止めがあったほうがいいかもしれません）

船には50人〜60人くらいはいたでしょうか、想像よりも多くの人が乗っていてMCの方の盛り上げもありわいわいとした雰囲気で楽しかったです。
食事は水、ジュース、ドーナツという割と簡素なもので自分で取りに行くスタイルでした。他の国の参加者の方でお酒や軽食を持参している方がおり、特に禁止されている様子もなかったので、食事を楽しみたい方は自分で事前に用意したほうがいいかもしれません。

肝心のサンドバーははじめは天気の関係で寒くそこまで綺麗に見えなかったのですが、
せっかくだと思いカヌーやSUPに乗ってみることができて楽しかったです。シュノーケリングでは大きい魚を観察できたようです！

終わりぎわのタイミングで日がでてきて想像していた景色を見ることができたのでよかったです。体験した日だけなのかもしれませんがもしかしたら朝イチよりお昼からの方が気温も上がっていいのかも？と思いました。

総じてスタッフの方も親切で楽しく、とてもいい経験ができました。

I appreciate the help as I couldn't manage to hold the snorkel properly. シュノーケルをうまく咥えられず、お世話になりました。

Reviewed by: ケイタ

I made a reservation in Japan before departure without checking the tide table, but luckily, the water was shallow up to my knees, which was great. I wore my reef shoes from the room, and I stayed in them both on the boat and in the water. Additionally, due to my nearsightedness, I borrowed a prescription mask. Whether I could swim or use the snorkel was a different matter. I didn’t know how to hold the snorkel properly, and water kept coming in through the gaps, so I held onto a staff member's float who spoke Japanese, and we moved along together. I got used to it halfway through and was able to look underwater for longer periods. Every time we spotted a sea turtle, the staff member would say, "There’s a turtle," and I was able to see them about 7 or 8 times. Encountering many schools of fish and sea turtles was an emotional experience. My first time snorkeling, meeting sea turtles, and visiting the sandbar was a fun experience that I can't have in Japan. The spam was also very delicious. Thank you very much.

潮見表を調べず、出発前に日本で予約しましたが、運良く、膝くらいで浅く良かったです。リーフシューズを部屋から履いて行き、船内も水中もこのままでした。また、近視のため、度付きのマスクを借りました。泳げるかどうかと、シュノーケルが使えるかどうかは別です。私はシュノーケルの咥え方がわからず、隙間から海水が入るので、日本語を話せるスタッフさんの浮き輪に捕まり、一緒に進みました。途中から慣れて長く水中を覗くことができるようになりました。ウミガメが見える度に、スタッフさんが、「カメさんいるよ」と教えて下さり、7〜8回くらい見ることができました。多くの魚の群れ、ウミガメに出会い、感動の連続。初めてのシュノーケリング、ウミガメとの出会い、サンドバー、日本ではできない楽しい体験でした。スパムもとてもおいしかったです。ありがとうございました。

I was able to encounter low tide on my second attempt. 再挑戦で干潮に出会えました。

Reviewed by: oggie

For this second attempt, I checked the tide chart for the sandbar in Kaneohe and chose the day and time when the tide would be the lowest during my stay to participate in the tour. It was perfect. When we arrived and moored the boat, the water was about calf-deep, and even after the first snorkeling session, which lasted 20 minutes, we returned to find a sandbar with broken coral exposed about 50 meters away. It was practically land (see photo). The quality of the sandbar experience depends on the tour company, but ultimately, the tide conditions are everything. I believe those planning to go should choose tours that operate during low tide, referring to the tide chart as much as possible. However, when walking to the sandbar, beach shoes are essential. The soles of your feet can hurt, and if you're unlucky, you might get injured. Captain Bruce already has established know-how, and there was a Japanese guide on board, making it a comfortable experience for Japanese participants. The spam musubi we had on the boat was very delicious. During snorkeling, we even encountered a honu (sea turtle) (see photo).

One downside is that the information provided in advance by Veltra mentioned that tips of 10% to 20% are not included in the travel cost and advised not to bring valuables. I only brought a single bill for tips, but there were signs on the shuttle bus asking for tips, and there was also a request for tips when we got off the boat after the activity. I found myself in a situation where I hadn't heard about tipping at two different places! I only had one bill! I wish they would stop the tipping practice, which is unfamiliar to Japanese people, and include it in the total cost. It's quite bothersome.

再挑戦の今回は、サンドバーのあるカネオヘの潮見表を調べ、滞在中のツアー催行時間で一番潮の引く日と時間を選んで参加しました。ドンピシャでした。到着時にボートを係留したところで、ふくらはぎ中くらいの深さ、最初に行われるシュノーケリングが20分して終わって帰って来ても、歩いて50mほどのところにある珊瑚が砕けた砂州？が露出していました。まさに陸地でした。(写真参照)。サンドバー観光の質は催行会社もありますが、やはり潮の状態が全てです。行かれる方は、潮見表首っ引きで出来るだけ潮の引いている時に催行されるツアーを選ぶべきだと思います。ただし、砂州？に歩いて行く時はビーチシューズは必須です。足の裏が痛いですし、運が悪ければ怪我をすることがあります。キャプテンブルースはすでにノウハウが確立しており、日本人ガイドも乗っていて、日本人が安心して参加できます。ボート上でいただいたスパムむすびがとても美味しかったです。シュノーケリングでは海中でホヌにも出会えました。(写真参照) 。難点を言えば、事前にベルトラからされた案内に10%〜20%のチップは旅行代金に含まれていませんとあり、貴重品は持ってくるなとありましたので、チップだけお札1枚で持って行きましたが、送迎のバスでも、チップくださいとの掲示がありましたし、活動が終わりボートを降りる時にも、チップくださいの案内がありました。2箇所でチップとは聞いていないよ！お札1枚しかないよ！ということになりました。日本人には馴染みのないチップやめて欲しい。代金に含めておいて欲しいです。面倒くさいですから。
