Great for all ages! My kids said it was the best day ever. They’re 4 & 6. Was able to kayak, SUP and snorkel. Also chilled inside the boat with live music. Everyone was so friendly and helpful showing their Aloha. Would recommend to anyone going to Oahu. Totally worth the price!

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.

Overall just a beautiful experience. The crew was super friendly, and super helpful with first time paddle boarders, snorkeling, and Kayak-ing people . The floating deck was awesome! I have been on a few other afternoon water excursions, by far this was the best one! Croissant sandwich was tasty and brought my own drinks! My kids are teenagers and they Also had a blast with all the activities ! This Trip was perfect for the entire family.. you won’t regret it.

On the day of the visit, there was a sandbar, so we could walk. However, because the tide was low, the paddle boat was too shallow and got stuck, making it difficult to ride. Snorkeling was great as we were able to see two turtles. It was allowed to bring in beer, so we brought two bottles and chilled them. It seemed that people from Taiwan brought a case of six. Enjoying beer while snacking was the best!
当日はサンドバーが出ていて歩けました 逆に潮が引いていたためパドルボートが浅すぎて引っかかって上手く乗れなかった シュノーケリングは亀が2匹も見れて良かったです ビール持ち込みOKとなっていたので2本持っていって冷やしていただきました 台湾からの人は6本ケースで持ってきていたようです スナックを食べながらのビール最高でした

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 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!

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.

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。
I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience regarding lunch this time. Unfortunately, we were unable to provide lunch, and I regret that this has affected what should have been an enjoyable experience for you.
In response to this incident, we held an urgent meeting with the crew to prevent a recurrence. We will ensure that such issues do not happen again in the future. While I cannot guarantee that this will improve your mood, we have decided to refund the cost of lunch in hopes of making amends.
Once again, I apologize sincerely. I am truly sorry.

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。
ボートでスノーケリングポイントに着いた頃合いで、イルカの群れに遭遇!
ボートの上からしばしイルカ見物。
海に入り、大小色とりどりの魚の群れに囲まれながら遊泳。
(スタッフがボートから餌を投げるので沢山集まってきます)
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)

I highly recommend booking a snorkeling adventure with Ocean Outfitters! Tyler and Captain Brandon were excellent tour guides! We enjoyed an exhilarating 20 minute boat ride to the rock island where you can climb up and jump off into 25 foot deep waters. While snorkeling, we saw lots a fish, coral, some sea urchins, a sea cucumber, and many dolphins and turtles en route to and from the island. So much fun!

A bus will pick you up near the hotel and take you to the port where the boat is located. From there, you can board the boat and head out to sea! When we went, it was raining a bit and the weather was bad, and it was quite cold, but we were still very satisfied because we got to see sea turtles! The boat provides drinks and snacks. It was really cold, so having warm hot chocolate was a lifesaver!
We also had our children (11 and 6 years old) with us, and it was helpful that we could borrow child-sized floaties and snorkeling gear. There was one guide who spoke both English and Japanese. Since we live in the United States, we didn't necessarily need a Japanese tour, but this tour was cheaper compared to local tours, and having Japanese staff made us feel more at ease. It also seemed like many of the participants were quite reasonable people.
ホテルの近くまでバスが迎えに来てくれます。バスに乗って船がある港まで連れて行ってくれます。それから、船に乗って海へ!私たちの時は雨が少し降っており天候が悪く、かなり寒かったですが、それでもウミガメさんを見れたので大満足でした!船では飲み物やスナックを提供してくれます。かなり寒かったので、温かいホットチョコレートがあって助かりました!
私たちは子供たち(11歳と6歳)も一緒だったのですが、子供サイズの浮き輪やスノーケリングのグッズを借してもらえたので助かりました。ガイドの方々は英語・日本語どっちも話せる方が1名いました。私たちはアメリカ在住なので、日本語ツアーじゃなくても良かったのですが、現地のツアーに比べてもこのツアーは安かったですし、やっぱり日本人の方が安心できますし、参加される方々も常識がある方が多い気がします。

Loved that I booked it for the family. We had a fun time snorkeling. Pick up from hotel was great, liked that the shuttle bus driver looked for us since we stood on the wrong bus stop. The crew was amazing and very friendly. The co-captain lady was the best. She took her time to show us how to use the snorkel, fit our life vest, gave us drinks. The captain was super friendly as well. The water was warm and clean. The boat was clean, restrooms to use and to change in were clean. Snorkels were clean and easy to use. Burgers was the best and we even had hot chocolate at the end of the swim. They took us to the shallow area first which was great, and then the deeper area, we saw coral reefs, lots of fish, and even sea turtles. It was amazing thing to see.
Only thing is, they didn’t have enough seats to sit outside, so we stayed inside during boat ride, and towards the end of the ride, everyone was cold so mostly everyone went inside, so we had to stand, which is ok, about 10 mins only. Overall, still a very awesome trip and would definitely go again!

Thank you to the friendly staff. I was able to enjoy skin diving, stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, and other marine sports in excellent conditions with the blue sea and white sandy shallows.

I participated in June 2023. The pick-up from the hotel during my stay was convenient, and if you choose an activity with lunch included, the morning schedule isn't too early, which I recommend.
After about an hour's drive by bus, we arrived at Kaneohe Bay for boarding. There are restrooms at the dock, but it can get crowded with participants. Don't worry, there are also restrooms on the boat.
When boarding, there were separate boats for Japanese guests and guests from other countries, so the boat I boarded was filled with Japanese tourists. The guide spoke only Japanese, so there were no issues.
The sandy beach of the heavenly sea is more like a shallow area, with the water reaching up to my waist. We also had time to practice snorkeling.
As for the lunch, the hamburgers were freshly grilled on the boat, and the meat was quite delicious, which made me very satisfied.
After lunch, we moved by boat while watching the honu (sea turtles) and snorkeled for about an hour at a snorkeling spot before returning to the port and taking the bus back. I think we arrived at the hotel around 4 PM.
I was able to see the honu from the boat, but unfortunately, I didn't encounter any while snorkeling.
Overall, it was a very satisfying experience. Just be careful about sunburn.
2023年6月に参加しました。滞在中のホテルからのピックアップで、昼食付きアクティビティであれば朝もそこまで早くないのでおすすめです。
バスで1時間ほど走ったらカネオヘ湾に到着、乗船となります。船着き場にはトイレもありますが、参加客で混雑します。船の中にもトイレはありますのでご安心を。
乗船の際は、日本人客の船と、それ以外の国の客とに分かれて船が用意されているので、乗った船はすべて日本人観光客でした。ガイドも全て日本語でしたので問題ございません。
天国の海の砂浜は、砂浜というか浅瀬になっており、腰まで海水が届きます。シュノーケリングの練習時間も兼ねておりました。
昼食のハンバーガーですが、船内でお肉が焼かれた出来たてのもので、肉もかなり美味しく満足できました。
昼食後に船で移動して、移動しながらホヌをウォッチングしつつ、シュノーケリングスポットで1時間ほどシュノーケリング、帰港、バスで送迎となります。ホテル到着は16時ぐらいだったと思います。
ホヌは船から見れましたが、シュノーケリング中は残念ながら会えませんでした。
全体を通してかなり満足のいくものでした。ただ日焼けにはご注意を。

The sandbar activity was a very enjoyable and unique experience. The boat ride over is short (15 min.) with great music and a decent sandwich lunch. We did the SUP and snorkeled. Lots of fish to see. Plenty of time to do all the activities. The tide was high, about 4 feet but still so much fun. Made it better for snorkeling. Staff was so friendly and helpful.
