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

Great beach day

Reviewed by: Shawn

Donuts were great, crew was incredibly friendly and helpful in learning new activities like paddle boarding. We did the optional tubing ride and it was fun (even if it was too much for us and we had to call uncle 😆). Overall great experience!

Revenge. リベンジで

In November 2023, I signed up for an optional tour to Sandbar with my daughter, but I had to cancel due to health issues. This time, I got my health back in order and participated in the tour. We had a great time with the live music on the boat, and I was excited to try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) for the first time. I'm really glad I joined!

Aloha Roy,

Thank you for the four-star review. I'm glad you were able to participate this year. Just like snorkeling and kayaking, SUP is very popular. I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the tour. I think it would be good to inform customers that it's better to have a change of clothes after coming out of the water. Thank you.

We hope to see you again soon!

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>

You can encounter sea turtles just a short distance from Waikiki! ワイキキからすぐ近くでウミガメに遭遇できます!

Check-in at the tour desk of the Outrigger Hotel at 11:30. Departed from in front of Halekulani on the Holokai Catamaran.

Before long, we arrived at Turtle Canyon, a few kilometers offshore. Sea turtles were swimming right next to the boat!

I borrowed a mask and fins and went snorkeling while observing the coral reef. I was able to spot sea turtles underwater right away!

After snorkeling, we raised the sails and cruised while enjoying the view of Diamond Head. The sea breeze was very pleasant!

The crew was also very service-oriented, and the kids got to sit at the helm, making it a fun tour!

マスクとフィンを借りて珊瑚礁を見ながらシュノーケリング。水中でもウミガメをすぐ見つけることが出来ました!

Amazing experience

Reviewed by: Nicki

The boat and sandbar experience was 10/10! I highly highly recommend it to anyone thinking of doing it. We also paid an extra $20 USD per person for a banana boat ride and that was probably the highlight of the experience. It was SO FUN! The staff was incredible and so nice and fun. There was standup paddle boarding, kayaking, floating lounge chairs, snorkeling, live music, and drinks available for purchase (juice and water were free though). Such a fun time and the highlight of my trip.

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 saw a lot of fish and honu (sea turtles)! たくさんのお魚とホヌが見られました〜

Reviewed by: ぽらりす

The receptionist spoke a little Japanese, but the crew on the boat communicated entirely in English. My English skills are only sufficient to understand simple phrases, but since they demonstrated how to use the snorkeling equipment, there were no particular issues as long as I paid attention. There were no other Japanese participants, but it felt like an overseas trip, which was nice!

When boarding the boat, you need to take off your sandals and shake off the sand from your feet. You sit in your seat and wait until you reach the snorkeling point. Once the crew is ready, everyone enters the water one by one. They apply anti-fog solution to the snorkeling mask, and after rubbing it in with your hands, you dip it in a bucket of water before putting it on. Just before entering the water, you put on your fins, and off you go into the sea!

You swim a little away from the boat to reach the watching point. As you swim, you see plenty of fish. I was surprised at how many there were! When a turtle appeared, the crew would call out, "Turtle!!" and let us know. We all gathered around, watching without getting too close. I was able to see the turtle both underwater and when it came up for air. So cute!

Many other boats were also there for turtle watching, so it might be helpful to keep an eye out for people wearing the same life jackets as you or to listen for the call of "Holokai!" to stay together and feel secure.

Looking at past reviews, it seems that the shape of the life jackets and floats might vary depending on when you participate. When we joined, we had life jackets that you inflate yourself. I recommend inflating them fully. Since the back of the jacket doesn't have any buoyancy, it might feel a bit scary if you're not used to swimming. My partner was also new to snorkeling and being in water where he couldn't touch the bottom, so he seemed quite fearful and stayed close to the boat while snorkeling. The crew informed us from the boat that there was a turtle, so we were able to enjoy turtle watching safely.

After snorkeling, we relaxed on the boat for about an hour. We were feeling a bit seasick, so we couldn't eat, but snacks were available for everyone else. The crew noticed we looked unwell and kindly asked if we were okay, applying lavender oil to our wrists, which is said to help with seasickness. I appreciated their kindness.

Although I felt a bit seasick towards the end, the breeze and sunshine on the boat were very pleasant, and I was able to see many fish and cute turtles. I think it was a wonderful experience that I wouldn't have had otherwise!

受付のお姉さんは少し日本語を話してくれましたが、船上クルーの方はずっと英語でした。簡単な英語が聞き取れる程度の英語力しかありませんが、シュノーケリング用具の説明は実演してくれたので、しっかり見ていれば特に問題はなかったです。
日本人の参加者は他にいませんでしたが、海外旅行を感じられたのでそれも良し!

船に乗り込むときはサンダルを脱ぎ、足についた砂を落として乗り込みます。
椅子に座ってシュノーケリングポイントにつくまで待機。クルーの方の準備が完了したら、順々に海に入っていきます。
シュノーケリングマスクに曇り止め?を付けてもらい手で塗り込んだら、バケツのお水に一度つけてから装着。
海に入る直前にフィンをつけて、さあ海の中へ!

船から少し離れて、泳いでウォッチングポイントへ移動します。
泳いでいるとお魚はたくさん目に入ります。こんなにいるのか!とびっくり。
タートルが現れたときは「タートーーール!!」とクルーの方が声がけして教えてくれます。みんなで丸く囲みながら、近寄らずにウォッチング。
私は、海中にいる時と海上に呼吸をしに来た時の姿を拝むことができました。かわいいな〜

他の船もたくさんタートルウォッチングに来ているので、自分と同じライフジャケットをしている人を見逃さないようにしたり、「ホロカ〜イ!」という声がけに耳を澄ませておくと、逸れずに安心かもしれません。

過去レビューの写真を見たところ、参加タイミングによりライフジャケットや浮きの形が違うのかも? 私たちが参加した際は、自分で空気を吹き込んで膨らませるライフジャケットでした。しっかりと膨らませることをおすすめします。
背中側に浮きがない形なので、もしかしたら泳ぎ慣れていないと少し怖いのかもしれません。私のパートナーはシュノーケリングも初、足の付かない水中も初だったこともあり恐怖感がとても強かったようで、船からはあまり離れずシュノーケリングをしていました。
クルーの方が船の上から「カメいるよ〜」と教えてくれたようで、無事にタートルウォッチングはできたようです。

シュノーケリングが終わった後は1時間ほど、船上でゆっくり。
私たちは船酔い気味だったので食べられませんでしたが、スナックは自由にいただけたようで、みなさん召し上がっていました。
クルーの方は我々の具合の悪そうな様子を見て、大丈夫?と声をかけてくれ、酔いに効くらしいラベンダーオイルを手首に付けてくれました。優しさに感謝。

終盤船酔い気味ではありましたが、船上で感じる風や陽射しはとても気持ちが良く、たくさんのお魚やかわいいホヌも見ることができ、なかなかできない良い体験ができたなと思っています!

Waikiki Sea Turtle Snorkel Tour with One Drink | 2-Hour Morning Adventure aboard Moana Catamaran

The staff was so kind!

Reviewed by: Jordan

I booked this tour on my last trip to Oahu and was really excited about it. The downside is I ended up getting sea sick while I was in the water :( Even though it ended up cutting my experience with the sea turtles short, the crew was so kind and went out of their way to make sure I was feeling better and still had a great time.

I highly recommend this experience and can't wait to come back and try again (with better motion-sickness meds :) )

If you're looking for entertainment, a variety of activities (snorkeling, volleyball, SUP, and kayaking), this is the way to go! It's perfect for families. We have gone both in the morning and afternoon due to the morning being booked. If possible, I recommend going in the morning due to the lower tide.

Warm clothing! Tips! Don't forget your motion sickness medication! 防寒!チップ!酔い止めを忘れずに!

Reviewed by: あーりんりん

The guides were very kind, cheerful, and lively, and the tour itself was enjoyable!

However, the reason I gave it 4 stars is that I wish I could have enjoyed snorkeling a bit more. About 10 years ago, when I participated in a snorkeling tour in Hawaii, I was amazed to see many colorful fish up close under the guidance. But this time, the dolphins, turtles, and fish were all at a distance... It was disappointing because I couldn't distinguish their colors.

Points to note:
- Even with two long-sleeved rash guards, it was still cold...! It would be good to prepare long pants or consider a wetsuit.

- I read that I should bring just enough money to buy a little food, so I went empty-handed, but at the end, there was a tipping situation, which made it really awkward. Including the tip, it has definitely become much more expensive compared to 10 years ago…!

- For those who are prone to motion sickness, taking motion sickness medication is a must. There were kids sitting there looking unwell the whole time, and it was sad to see.

ガイドの皆さんとても優しくて明るくてノリノリで、ツアー自体は楽しかったです!!

ただ、⭐︎4にした理由は、もう少しシュノーケリングを楽しめたらよかったなぁと思ったからです。
10年前くらいにハワイでシュノーケリングツアーに参加した時は、案内のもとたくさんのカラフルなお魚を間近に見られて感動したものです。
だけど今回はイルカもカメもお魚も遠目で…
色は判別できない距離感だったので残念に思ってしまいました。

注意点
・上は長袖ラッシュガード2枚重ねても寒かったです…!下も長いものを用意するとか、ウェットスーツおすすめ。

・持ち物のお金は少し食べ物が買えるくらいと書いてあったので手ぶらで行ったら、最後チップを払う流れになったのですごく気まずかったです。
チップ含めると、10年前よりかなり高くなりましたよね…!

・酔いやすい人は酔い止め必須です。ずっと気分悪そうに座ってる子達がいて可哀想でした。

Thank you very much for participating in the Dolphin & You tour. We also appreciate you taking the time to provide us with your detailed feedback.

We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour itself, and your kind words for our guide staff are truly encouraging! Thank you very much.

On the other hand, we are disappointed that you were unable to see dolphins and turtles up close while snorkeling. Encounters with wild animals are greatly influenced by natural conditions, which can result in varying distances and visibility from day to day. We will continue to make efforts as a team to provide experiences that satisfy everyone.

Thank you also for your advice regarding cold weather measures, tips, and motion sickness remedies. We will incorporate this into our future guidance.

We would be delighted if you consider joining our tour again when you visit Hawaii. We sincerely look forward to the day we can meet you again, Aarinrin.

この度はドルフィン&ユーツアーにご参加いただき、誠にありがとうございました。また、貴重なお時間を割いて詳細なご感想をお寄せくださり、ありがとうございます。

一方で、シュノーケリングの際にイルカやカメを近くでご覧いただけなかったことは、私どもとしても残念です。野生の生き物との出会いは自然状況に大きく左右されるため、日によって距離や見え方に差が出てしまうことがございますが、より皆様に満足いただける体験をご提供できるよう、今後もスタッフ一同工夫と努力を重ねてまいります。

また、防寒対策やチップ、酔い止めなどのアドバイスもありがとうございます。今後のご案内にも活かしてまいります。

Feeling great at the beautiful sea! キレイな海でいい気分!

Reviewed by: s.k

The sea was calm, and I didn't experience any seasickness at all. Snorkeling in the beautiful water felt great, but it was a bit cold for the season. The snorkeling area is somewhat limited, so if you're looking to swim more vigorously or dive deeper, you might want to consider other locations. On the other hand, it's a safe spot where even children and beginners can enjoy snorkeling without the risk of drowning, so I think you can relax and have fun. In the second half, you can freely use canoes and stand-up paddleboards. There’s no formal instruction, but it's something anyone can easily do, so overall, it feels very accessible for participation.

海は穏やかで船酔いも全く無かったです。
シュノーケルもキレイな海でいい気持でしたが、時期的に少し寒かったです。
シュノーケルはある程度決められた範囲内なので、もっとガッツリ泳ぎたかったり、潜りたい人は他の場所の方がいいかもしれません。
逆に子供でも初心者でもシュノーケルで溺れる様な場所ではないので、安心して楽しめる都思います。
後半はカヌーやサップを自由に使えて、指導とかはないですが、これも誰でも簡単に出来るので、全体を通して気軽に参加出来るイメージです。

It's wonderful, but the staff... 素敵,でもスタッフが

Reviewed by: Mikegogo

I've been to Hawaii several times, but this was my first time here. The weather was clear, and the ocean was beautiful, so I really enjoyed snorkeling. On the boat, there was also lovely live music, and I was able to spend a very relaxing time. The only downside was that the behavior of the local Japanese staff was harsh, which spoiled my trip. If I go again, I would like to try a different tour.

ハワイは何度か行っていますが,ここには初めて行ってみました。
晴れていたこともあり,とても海が綺麗で,シュノーケリングは堪能しました。
船上では,素敵な生演奏もあり,とてもゆったりした時間を過ごすことが出来ました。
一つだけ残念なのは,現地の日本人スタッフの言動がきつく,せっかくの旅行が台無しでした。
今度行くとしても別のツアーにしてみたいと思います。

Sasaki from Saipan is the best! サイパン出身の佐々木さんサイコーです!

Reviewed by: spring

I visited Sandbar for the first time. All the staff were very friendly and it was a lot of fun!! I tried SUP for the first time, and thanks to Sasaki-san from Saipan, who had a great sense of humor and spoke in a Kansai dialect, it was enjoyable the whole time. It became a wonderful memory! If I have the chance again, I would love to participate!

初めてサンドバーに行きました。
どのスタッフさんもとても親切で楽しかったです!!

The weather was great, and the scenery was amazing. The staff was cheerful and very nice. It was good to have many activities to choose from.

It was a bit cold, so snorkeling required some preparation, but I was satisfied to see the beautiful seabed.

Thank you for your hospitality.

Watch your possessions

Reviewed by: Steve

Snorkeling was fun. The boat is nice, large, and stable. The two singers are good.
And the sneaky little creep sitting next to us at the next table reached right into my beach bag and stole my Yeti Coffee Cup and lid. We did not want to make a big scene. He was really fast and he and his "girl" were the only two people within 15 feet of us as Patsy and I had the front starboard corner of the boat. Keep an eye on your possessions. The staff on the boat are very conscientious and polite.
