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

Awesome service!

Reviewed by: Reina Zavala

I loved the sandbar! The service was outstanding!!! from the guy with the flower in his hat going over the rules and dancing. To the lifeguard that helped us attract fish while snorkeling. Most importantly, I am very happy with the service that was provided by the guy with the sun screen across with nose that gave us kayak and prattle boarding lessons. They all made me and my family comfortable and super welcomed!

The experience was great. The crew and the live music were great. We love all of the availability of the water sports- paddle boats, kayaks, snorkeling, lounging on the barge. The lunch was served right away so we were on a full stomach and it gave a chance for any late strivers to come on board.

Cold and poor visibility

Reviewed by: Jimmy

It was cold - the boat ride and the water condition once we arrived. The visibility of the water was very poor. We didn't see any fish. It was just an unpleasant experience. We did this tour with another company many years ago and it was very nice. I understand weather conditions are outside the tour company's control but they can warn customers when they know it's bad and provide options to cancel the tour.

This was perfect

Reviewed by: Cevo

This was a great day after wedding activity. We made this an optional activity for our friends and family the day after our wedding ceremony. The live music and stories on board were even better than we expected and they knew and played our first dance song! the views and experience are really special. We had done a smaller catamaran experience before but halfway through the wedding party for that wedding were all getting seasick (partially from hangovers but the rocking didn't help). This boat is large enough you don't feel a thing and it's in the bay with calmer waters. I highly recommend!

Sandbar snorkeling and SUP サンドバー　シュノーケルとサップ

Reviewed by: ふみちゃん

It was great to travel by boat while listening to live music; it really added to the experience. Although we didn't go to a sandbar, the sea was beautiful, and we saw plenty of fish swimming around. Even as a beginner, I was taught carefully, and there were no dangerous spots at all. I could feel that all the staff were eager to make it enjoyable for everyone. However, I was disappointed that while the Japanese staff were very friendly to foreigners, they didn't seem as welcoming to Japanese guests.

生演奏を聴きながらの、船での移動盛り上がってとても良かったです。
サンドバーにはならなかったのですが、海も綺麗で魚が泳ぐところを沢山見れました。初心者でも丁寧に教えて頂き、危ないところは、ひとつもなかったです。スタッフのみんなも楽しませようという姿勢が感じられました。ただ、日本人のスタッフが外人には凄く良いのに対して、日本人にはあまり感じよくなかったので、がっかりしました。

I think it's better to respond properly. きちんとした対応したほうがいいと思う

Reviewed by: 最悪の思い出

The plan included lunch. The people around us at our assigned seats were already eating or had finished their meals, so we thought we should go get our food ourselves. When I asked if I could take this (something like a sandwich), a Japanese woman came over and said not to take it because the staff would bring it. However, no one brought us lunch no matter how long we waited. The staff had said they would bring it, but they didn't. There was a lack of responsibility. It wasn't a cheap tour, and since it was stated that lunch was included, we went without eating... I even went to get it because that person said they would bring it. The way she said it was quite harsh. What should have been a fun activity turned into an unpleasant memory. I swam on an empty stomach, felt unwell, and couldn't enjoy myself. It's really disappointing because the other crew members were very kind and friendly.

プランには昼食つきとありました。席を振り分けられ座った場所の周囲の人たちはすでに食事中か食事が済んでいたので自分たちで食事をとりに行くのだと思い取りに行ってコレ（サンドイッチのようなもの）を持って行っていいか聞くと日本人？の女の人がやってきてスタッフが持ってくるから取るなと言いました。しかし待っても待っても誰も昼食を私達に運んではくれませんでした。
スタッフが持ってくると日本人？の女のスタッフは言ったのに持ってこなかった。　責任感が無さすぎる。安いツアーでもないのに昼食があるって書いてたからわざわざ食べずに行ったのに...それもわざわざ取りに行ったのに持ってくるとあの人は言いました。言い方もかなりキツめでした。楽しいはずのアクティビティーが嫌な思い出になった。　空腹のまま泳いで気分も悪いし楽しめませんでした。他のクルーの人達はとても親切で優しかったから本当に残念です。

ウミガメシュノーケリング　ホロカイ・カタマラン号　高確率でウミガメに会えるタートルキャニオンへ！ソフトドリンク&スナック付き＜3時間／英語／ワイキキホテル発＞

I was able to see both dolphins and sea turtles! イルカにもホヌにも会えました！

Reviewed by: sora

I chose this tour because the meeting place was close to my hotel and there weren't many options available at the last minute, but it turned out to be a great decision. I had a wonderful experience.

When we arrived at the snorkeling point by boat, we encountered a pod of dolphins! We enjoyed watching the dolphins from the boat.

Once in the water, I swam surrounded by schools of colorful fish of various sizes. (The staff threw food from the boat, so many fish gathered around.) After that, the staff guided us by swimming to the turtle point. We were able to see three turtles that day. They occasionally came up to the surface for air, allowing us to see them up close, which was incredibly exciting!

After the snorkeling time ended, we returned to the boat and sailed out to sea with the sails up, moving quite fast. I was fine, but those who are sensitive to motion might want to be cautious.

The website mentioned bringing a "photo ID," so I brought my passport, but it wasn't required. I didn't read it carefully, but it seems it was needed if you wanted to purchase alcohol on the boat. I misunderstood and thought it was required for the tour participation, so I would appreciate it if the wording could be changed.

After getting out of the water, it can be chilly with the sea breeze, so it's better to have a long-sleeved cover-up or a large towel. Also, there are no staff members who speak Japanese. They explain the precautions before entering the water, so having good listening skills would be helpful. (Since they use gestures, you might manage if you can catch some key words.)

集合場所が宿泊ホテルに近かったのと、間際の予約で他にあまり無かったので選びましたが、結果的に大正解でした。とても素晴らしい体験が出来ました。

その後、ホヌポイントまでスタッフが泳いで誘導してくれました。
この日は3匹のホヌに会えました。時おり水面まで息をしに上がってくるので本当に真横にホヌを見ることが出来、大感激！
スノーケリングタイムが終わった後は、ボートに戻り、沖合まで帆を上げてかなり飛ばしていきます。私は大丈夫でしたが、揺れに弱い人は要注意です。
WEBには持ち物に『写真付きのID』と書かれていたのでわざわざパスポートを持っていきましたが、提示は求められませんでした。よく読まなかったのがいけないですが、ボート上でお酒を購入したいときに必要ということだったようです。ツアー参加の際に掲示を求められると勘違いしてしまいましたので、書き方を変えていただけると嬉しいです。　
水から上がった後海風に吹かれて寒いので、長袖の羽織るものか大き目のバスタオルは有った方が良いです。あと、日本語話すスタッフはいません。海に入る前に注意事項を説明されるのでヒヤリング力は有った方が良いです。（身振り手振りの説明なので単語が聞き取れればなんとかなるかも）

Reviewed by: アップルパイ

Even with last-minute reservations, you can feel secure as they confirm everything properly via email and phone. I was a bit anxious about the reception location since there was no sign (as mentioned in the reservation confirmation), but following the map sent with the confirmation helped me find it.

It mentioned to arrive 30 minutes early, but I ended up waiting with nothing to do until the start time, so the purpose of the early arrival was unclear.

The snorkeling experience starts with the instructor properly explaining how to handle the equipment, which is reassuring for beginners. I recommend it for those who want to safely try it out nearby. The water wasn't very clear, though.

直前予約でも、メールと電話できちんと確認されるので安心です。
当日の受付場所は、案内版がなくて（ないと予約確認書に書いてあります）不安でしたが、予約確認書に送られてくる地図に従うとたどり着くことができます。
開始30分前に来るようにと書いてあったのですが、何もすることなく開始時間まで待たされて、30分前集合の意図が不明でした。

シュノーケルは、インストラクターがきちんと器具の扱いを含めて説明をしてくれてから始まるので、初心者には安心です。
近場で安全に、とりあえず試してみたいという方にお勧めします。
海は、あまりクリアではありませんでした。

You will be picked up near the hotel and take a drive of about 30 minutes to the port.

Upon arrival at the port, you will transfer to a large boat that can accommodate around 60 people and head towards the sandbar. On the boat, donuts and drinks will be served, and there will be live Hawaiian music.

Once you arrive at the sandbar, you can do whatever you like, such as stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), kayaking, or snorkeling. Please note that there are limited SUP and kayak options, so you may have to wait your turn.

Afterward, you will return to the port by boat, then take a bus back to the location where you were picked up.

Since the bus seats are fabric, it's a good idea to bring a towel to sit on.

ホテルの近くでピックアップしてもらい、車で３０分程度ぼドライブして港にむかいます。

港に到着したら６０人位が乗り込める大型の船に移動して、船でサンドバーにむかいます。船の上ではドーナツや飲み物が配られ、ハワイアンミュージックの生演奏もあります。

サンドバーに到着したらSUPやカヤック、シュノーケリングなど各自やりたいことをやります。SUPとカヤックは数に限りがあるので、順番待ちになることもあります。

終わったらまた船で港に戻り、バスに乗り込みピックアップされた場所で降ろされます。

バスのシートは布製なので、座るところに敷く用のタオルを持っていくと良いです。

KBOS was awesome!

Reviewed by: Christine

The crew was wonderful! The musicians were amazing! If you don't have time to try different water activities on your trip, this is a great way to hit a lot of them. We were able to SUP, kayak, swim, lounge, and snorkel (the sandbar reef actually had quite a few different types of fish to see and since it is so shallow, it is a lot easier to snorkel here). They provide life jackets for all the activities and snorkel gear. We also did the banana boat and bumper activities and it was quite the adrenaline rush. For banana boat, they grouped us with two other pairs of people so we filled up the banana boat (holds 6 people), which made it more stable but half of us still fell off. It was very fun and quite an experience. There is definitely enough time to try everything. Their boat is pretty big so very stable and not likely to induce seasickness. They have two women's bathrooms, one men's, and one changing room. They provide donuts and water/juice but you can also bring your own food/drinks. There are plenty of tables and shelf storage underneath so your items aren't on the floor and won't get wet. Overall, a great time!

It was a very nice tour. It takes us out to the Kaneohe sandbar while providing live music entertainment. After arrival, we could choose to do a variety of activities including snorkelling, paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming or just relaxing at a floating lounge. You will be able to see coral reef and fish there. Staff is there to help and supervise. You can leave your belongings at the boat. The good thing about being in the middle of water is that your belongings are safe. I recommend wearing some kind of footwear on the sandbar because the sand there could be a little rough. Overall a very nice way to spend a morning or afternoon. Time flew by fast.
