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

The onboard music entertainment was great. However, I did not enjoy the banana boat and bumper tube.

Reviewed by: Veronica

Most of the crew was nice and friendly. When we signed up for this tour, the two activities my group and I were looking forward to were the Banana Boat and BUmper Tube. However, they ended up being the two activities we least enjoyed. Riders of these two activities are of various ages and the lack of consideration for that was disappointing. The woman that "drove" the boat sped off the from the boarding so fast that are necks jerked back so hard that we were sore the next day. During the ride, we tried to get her attention several timers to slow down because some of us were almost thrown off the boat.

Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We are very sorry to hear that the water level on the day of your participation did not meet your expectations. The tide varies daily due to natural conditions, so there are days when the water is deeper and the sand does not appear. We have included a link to the tide chart on our website, so please check it in advance next time and aim for a day with lower water levels. We look forward to seeing you again.

Best regards,
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。ツアーご参加当日の水位はご期待通りでなかった様で大変残念に思っております。潮位は自然条件によって毎日変動しますので水深が深い日もあり砂地が現れないこともあります。潮の満ち引き情報が確認できる(潮見表)のリンクをサイトに載せておりますので次回は是非事前にチェックして水位の低い日を狙ってご参加してみてください。お待ちしております。 KBOS スタッフ一同

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

A Fun Time on the Sandbar

Reviewed by: Pattigramz

This boating adventure was a fun day for our 3 generational family of 15 people ages 8 to 70. The crew was friendly and very helpful, and even had a table reserved for us so that we could all sit together on the way out to the sandbar. The music was exceptional with professional musicians...ukulele and singing. The boat is big and holds a lot of people comfortably. When we got to the sandbar, we were a bit disappointed that they required everyone to wear a life jacket, and there was no deep water snorkeling. I have been out to this area a few years earlier with a different company that took us to a beautiful snorkel area that I had hyped up to my family, so it was a disappointment that his was not the same place. That is the only reason it is not the highest rating. But we soon got over it, and enjoyed a shallow snorkel, and found that the life jackets worked quite well for the shallow water adventure. The snorkel disappointment was made up for by the kayaks, sups, and volleyball play on the sandbar. The weather cooperated that day, and everyone had a blast. We would do it again, although not it was not really a snorkel boat. Many thanks to the staff and crew for all of their efforts.

I was able to see sea turtles up close! The cost performance is unbeatable! 海亀が間近で見れました!コスパ最強♪

Reviewed by: かものはし

We participated as a couple, and although we don't speak much English, it wasn't a problem at all. The reservation confirmation emails were all in English, but with Google Translate, we were able to understand the meeting location perfectly. We took the bus from our hotel in Waikiki to the nearest stop and walked about five minutes to the port. (By the way, a local Japanese person informed us that Google Maps provides the most accurate bus schedules and stop locations, and they were right—it was very convenient.)

The boat is named Moana, and there is a tour sign in front of the boat, making it easy to find. However, as others have mentioned, we had to wait about 20 minutes from the meeting time, which made us a bit anxious. (Most participants arrived more than 15 minutes late. Is it just Japanese people who are punctual? Haha.)

Once the tour started, the explanations were only in English, but I understood that we shouldn't go to the back of the boat, we should keep a certain distance if turtles approach, and when the staff called out "Moana," we should board the boat. I could only understand these points, but it wasn't a problem at all.

We were able to see many turtles up close! There were also five or six other tour boats in the same area, with dozens of people entering the water, so it was a bit challenging to swim without bumping into others. However, there were plenty of turtles to see, and it was adorable to watch them come up to the surface for air. We also saw several types of fish.

Just keep in mind that it wasn't the colorful small fish swarming around the coral that you might typically imagine with snorkeling; it was primarily a turtle-focused tour, so it's best to go with that understanding.

Similar tours with Japanese-speaking staff seem to cost around $120, but if the content is not significantly different, I think this tour is a great deal.

Overall, we were very satisfied!

夫婦で参加し、英語はほぼできませんがほとんど問題ありませんでした。
予約連絡メールもすべて英語ですが、Google翻訳でしっかり集合場所も分かるので、ワイキキのホテルからザバスで最寄りまで行き、港を5分ほど歩いて到着しました。(ちなみに、ザバスの時刻表やバス停の場所はGoogleの経路検索が一番正確だと現地の日本人に教えていただき、その通りですごく便利でした。)
モアナという名前の船で、船の前にツアーの看板も出てるのでわかりやすいです。
ただ、他の方も書いているように集合時間から20分ほど待たされたので少々不安にはなりました。(そもそも参加者もほとんど15分以上遅れてきました。時間守るのは日本人ぐらいなんでしょうか?笑)

ツアーが始まってからも英語のみの説明ですが、船の後ろには行かないこと、亀が近づいてきても一定の距離を取ること、スタッフが「モアナー」と呼び込みかけたら船に上がること、ぐらいしか理解できなかったですが何ら問題なかったです。

実際に亀を間近でたくさん見れました!
他のツアーの船も5,6隻同じ同じ場所でそれぞれ数十人が海に入るので人にぶつからないように泳ぐのが少し大変ですが、何匹も亀がいるのでしっかり見ることができました。海面に息継ぎに上がってくるのが可愛かったです。
他にも数種類のお魚も見ることができました。

ただ、よくシュノーケルでイメージする色とりどりの小魚が珊瑚に群がるような感じではないので、あくまで亀主体のツアーという理解で行かれた方が良いです。

日本語スタッフがいる類似ツアーは120ドルするようですが、もしも内容にあまり差がないようならとてもお得だと思いました。

全体的には満足です!

Waikiki Guided Beach Snorkeling Tour for Beginners with FREE Photos & Videos

Fun, great for beginners!

Reviewed by: AJ Travels

Cons: Location wasn’t too clear, better signage in the future would be great.

Buoyant donut was too small for the amount or people, so lots of bumping and kicking, including from the trainer. A bigger float donut would be perfect.

Water was murky, but not much can be done about that. Maybe a heads up from the diver if they have an indication of the water condition before hand would help.

Pros: Diver was great in making sure that we got to see a few fish. He also dove down to grab some of the water life and we got a chance to hold them in our hands.

We brought our own snorkel and mouth piece, and diver was very helpful in making sure it was secure to their masks.

Diver was very knowledgeable and got us checked out with our photos and videos in hand very quickly.

Definitely recommend this for super beginners!

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

Great tour

Reviewed by: Allie

We did an afternoon tour of the Kaneohe Bay sandbar and loved it. The water was chest deep in some spots and above our heads in other spots. I believe it was high tide. The sandbar is gorgeous and was a must see for us. What made this great was the helpful and friendly demeanor of the staff along with the live music. They had a lifeguard in the snorkeling area which made us feel safe. There was plenty of gear to borrow and things to do: snorkeling, volleyball, kayak, SUPs, footballs to throw around, and swimming. We are so glad we did this tour and would do it again.

This was an amazing activity for our entire family, from a 3yr old to the grandma. The staff was friendly and encouraging and the band was great too!


My three-year-old rode the bumper raft, and the staff took their time driving slowly and carefully so that he can enjoy the activity.

My older kids did the bumper raft, snorkeled and did sup. Plenty to do in the allowed hours.

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

Sandbar Tour

Reviewed by: Tony

This was probably the best tour we went on during our trip. The snorkeling was arguably better than Hanauma Bay. There were less fish, but the corals were in way better shape and the water was a lot calmer. I probably spent most of my time just snorkeling. The kayaks and paddle boards were alright. There isn’t much to do on them so I didn’t really spend much of my time on those. I saw mostly a parent and their kids riding the kayaks. There is a platform in the middle that you can hang out in. The food was good, but I suggest bringing extra snacks as I got a little hungry after hanging out at the sandbar. For drinks they only served beer and hard seltzers, but they gave you the option to bring your own if you’re into that. We were there during high tide so there wasn’t much to stand on, but you can still get your feet on the sand in some parts. We opted for the banana boat and bumper tube and this probably was my favorite part. Banana boat was okay, but the bumper tube ride was insane. I got the opportunity to ride solo on one of the runs and I asked them to give me the crazy ride, and man did they deliver. BIG shoutout to the guy towing the tube. The staff was awesome and super accommodating. They let everyone have fun while keeping it safe. Definitely the best experience out of all the other ones we did in Oahu (cruise, Kualoa ranch, hanauma bay, shark swimming). Would recommend and is a 100% must do in my opinion.

A fulfilling plan to fully enjoy the ocean. 海を満喫できる充実のプラン

Reviewed by: MM

I was moved by the incredibly beautiful sea. There was transportation to the main points in Waikiki, and there was a Japanese guide on the boat who provided plenty of explanations, so I felt secure and enjoyed myself. I was able to try SUP, which I had always wanted to do, and I saw many fish while snorkeling (although I didn't get to see any sea turtles…). For snacks, there were donuts, and the soft drinks available were water, orange juice, and hot water. There is a changing room on the boat, so it's better to bring a change of clothes. You will end up freezing on the air-conditioned bus ride back.
It seems that you need to go with a different tour company to visit the so-called sandbar (a beach surrounded by the sea). The area we played in was shallow enough to stand, but it was a bit deeper in some spots.

とにかく綺麗な海で感動しました。ワイキキの主要ポイントへの送迎があり、船には日本人のガイドさんも乗っていたので説明も十分にしていただき安心して楽しめました。ずっとやってみたかったSUPもできたし、シュノーケリングではたくさんの魚が見れました。(ウミガメには会えませんでした…)軽食にはドーナツ、ソフトドリンクは水、オレンジジュース、お湯がありました。船の中に更衣室があるので着替えを持っていったほうがいいです。凍えながら冷房の効いたバスで帰ることになります。
いわゆるサンドバー(海に囲まれた砂浜)は別のツアー会社じゃないといけないみたいです。我々が遊んだ海は足がつくけどちょっと深めのところでした。

Thank you very much for participating in our tour. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the SUP and snorkeling. The location we took you to was a sandbar, which appears during low tide, so the visibility and water depth can vary depending on the tide. Unfortunately, it seems that the water level was a bit deep on the day of your visit. Next time, please be sure to check the tide chart before joining us. Best regards 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。SUPやスノーケルを楽しんで頂けた様で大変嬉しく思っております。当社のツアーがお連れしたところもサンドバーなのですが、サンドバーは引き潮の時に現れますので潮位によって現れる時と水深が深い日もあります。当日は残念ながら少し水位が深かったようですね、、次回は是非事前にタイドグラフ(潮見表)をチェックしてご参加してみてください。KBOS スタッフ一同

It may have been a coincidence, but the Japanese were only among themselves. I was a bit anxious since there were no explanations in Japanese, but I was able to enjoy dolphins and snorkeling in a world without Japanese, which was different from Waikiki, without any major issues.

This is probably one of the best excursions we’ve done in Hawaii as it includes snorkeling, paddle boarding and canoes all in one price. At an additional charge we added tubing and banana boat for children and they loved it.

Reviewed by: FF

Just before getting on the banana boat, the children were scared of falling into the sea, but the staff noticed this and drove at just the right speed (fast enough, but without sudden turns or creating waves). By the end of the banana boat ride, the children were all smiles and very happy.

During snorkeling, another staff member casually chatted with the children, who were nervous about their first snorkeling experience, using a friendly Kansai dialect (they were a local). This helped ease their tension.

Thanks to this, we were able to create wonderful memories for the whole family.

バナナボートに乗る直前で、こどもたちが海に落ちることを怖がってしまったのですが、それを察知したスタッフさんが、ちょうど良い加減の運転(スピードはそこそこあるものの、急に曲がったり波を立てるような運転はしない)をしてくれて、バナナボートが終わるころにはこどもたちは笑顔で大喜びでした。
シュノーケリング時には、はじめてのシュノーケリングに緊張しているこどもたちに対して、別のスタッフさんが気さくに(関西弁でw 現地の方ですがww)話しかけてくれて、緊張をといてくれました。

The weather is everything. If you've decided to participate in this activity, you should reflect on your daily actions, pray for clear skies, and wait for that day with a pure heart. We fell short in our efforts and ended up with a cloudy day. If you wish to have a pickup, just let them know your hotel, and they will usually come to pick you up nearby. We were staying at the Royal Hawaiian, so we arranged to meet in front of Ross across the street. We took a bus to the pier and then boarded the ship! Onboard, we filled out a liability waiver and set off for about a 20-minute sail. My mother-in-law, who is prone to seasickness, seemed to be in good spirits, which added to the sense of stability. Donuts and drinks are first come, first served. By the time we returned, the donuts were sold out. I have no complaints about the sandbar itself. You can relax on the boat or enjoy kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding. On the day we participated, it was quite windy, and we could hardly see any fish or turtles.

Reviewed by: NACHI♡

It was really great!
I definitely recommend it!

☆ Positive Points
★ We were blessed with good weather, and it was incredibly beautiful.
★ Even as a first-time snorkeler, I had a lot of fun because it was a shallow area where I could stand comfortably.
★ It was also my first time kayaking, but the staff helped me get on properly, and when I drifted a bit, the captain's boat shouted, "Come back! Keep paddling!" which made me feel reassured.
★ I was worried about seasickness, but I didn't feel it at all.
★ The lunch was very delicious.
★ All the staff were foreigners, but two of them spoke Japanese very well, even able to make jokes, and they were great at explaining and answering questions. Everyone was smiling and it was a really nice team.
★ The music played on the boat was very Hawaiian and really good.
★ When we got out of the water, the captain (a foreign woman) made us warm tea, which was delicious! I appreciated the thoughtfulness!

☆ Negative Points
★ I was expecting to walk on the white sand, but since I joined the afternoon course, it was high tide. I heard from the staff on the boat that you need to join the morning course to walk on the water during low tide. I was disappointed because I had high expectations. I should have checked properly.
★ There were no showers on the boat, just a changing room, but that was still helpful. However, there were only two hooks for hanging things like plastic bags inside the changing room, so it would have been nice to have a basket or something to put our clothes in.

☆ Other
★ As advice, I felt this tour was more suited for adults. There were families with toddlers, and they might have enjoyed it to some extent, but for families with young children, Hanauma Bay, where fish come close to the beach, might be a better recommendation. (This is just my personal opinion.)

☆ Lastly
★ I participated with my daughter in her 20s, and we had a lot of fun! It was really different from Waikiki Beach and Hanauma Bay, and it was great!
I definitely recommend it.
I’m really glad I joined this tour. Thank you very much to all the staff!

とても良かったです!
ぜひオススメです!

☆良かった点
★お天気に恵まれ、すごく綺麗でした。
★シュノーケリング 初めての私でも、足がほどほどにつく 浅瀬だったのでとても楽しめました。
★カヤックも初めてでしたが スタッフの人がちゃんと乗せてくれたし、 少し流された時には 主のボートから「戻って〜!頑張って漕いで〜!」と大きな声で指示していただけて安心でした。
★船酔いも心配でしたが 全くしなかったです。
★ランチもとても美味しかった 。
★スタッフ全員が外人でしたが、2人 日本語が話せる人がいて 冗談も言えるぐらい上手だし、説明や質問もOKだし、全員が笑顔で楽しく とてもいい スタッフでした。
★船内の演奏もハワイらしくて、すごく良かった。
★海から上がった時 暖かい紅茶を 船長さん(外人の女性) が淹れてくれて美味しかった! 気遣いが嬉しかった!

☆残念だった点
★白砂で海上散歩できると期待してましたが、 私が参加したのは昼からのコースなので満潮。朝からのコースに参加しないと引潮で海上散歩できないと船の中でスタッフに聞きました。 期待していただけに残念。ちゃんと調べておけば良かった。
★船内にシャワーは無く更衣室だけでしたが、 それでも助かりました。 ただ更衣室の中は ビニール袋など 掛けるフックが2つだけなので、 着替え等が置けるカゴなどが置いてあったら有難かったです。

☆その他
★アドバイスとしては、大人向きのツアー かなと 感じました。幼児を連れている人もいて それなりに楽しめたかもしれないけど…幼児連れのご家族なら 砂浜に魚がすぐ寄ってくるハナウマビーチの方が おすすめかもしれません。(あくまで個人的な見解です。)

☆最後に
★20代の娘と2人で参加しましたが とても 楽しめました! ワイキキビーチ や ハナウマビーチ とはまた違って、すごく良かったです!
是非オススメです。
このツアーに参加してホント良かったです。スタッフの皆様 本当にありがとうございました。

[Beltora Staff Experience] The long-awaited sandbar! 【ベルトラスタッフ体験談】 念願のサンドバー!

Reviewed by: ms

First, we received a very clear and enjoyable explanation from the Japanese staff, and then we boarded the ship! The interior of the ship was very clean, and the donuts for a light snack were delicious. The banana boat ride was thrilling and a lot of fun. Personally, I wanted to try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), and it was a great experience to do it in such beautiful waters. We were also able to enjoy warm drinks, and the staff were all very cheerful, energetic, and kind, making for a wonderful time.

最初に日本人スタッフさんによるとても分かりやすくて楽しい説明を受けていざ乗船!
船内はとても綺麗で軽食のドーナツもとても美味しかったです。
バナナボートはスリル満点でとても楽しかったです。
個人的にはSUPがやりたかったので綺麗な海でやることができとても良い経験になりました。
温かい飲み物もいただけたりスタッフのみなさんとても明るく元気で優しく素敵な時間を過ごすことができました。

It was fun. 楽しかった

Reviewed by: サクラ

The sandbar didn't appear, so the scenery was just a shallow area, which was disappointing, but I was able to see a lot of fish and enjoyed a fun time kayaking. The live music on the boat was performed very well, and it was really good.

サンドバーは現れなかったので景色的にはただの浅瀬で残念だったんですが、お魚も沢山見れたし、カヤックにも乗れて楽しい時間を過ごせました。   船上ライブミュージックは歌が上手でがとても良かったです。
