The staff are all very friendly, helpful and excellent energy. Very convenient with free pickup from hotel. Most staffs are fluent with Japanese. The singers have beautiful voices.There are lots of activities choices to enjoy with. And very safe with multiple staff stand by around to make sure you are doing okay. Only complain is I wish we have more time.Did not want it to end. Highly recommended it.

I thought I could walk on the sand but I didn’t know this boat was not able to go closer. The water was so high and I couldn’t even stand.

Hanauma Bay Snorkel Tour with Expert Guide & Waikiki Transportation. Free photos!

Easily the best snorkeling tour in Oahu

Reviewed by: Cory W

This is our 2nd time to vacation in Oahu and visited Hanauma both times. Our 2nd trip we decided to book an organized tour because our first experience wasn't too great. This tour was absolutely incredible! Can't say enough positive things about it but here we go:

1) The guide showed up to our hotel early which is so refreshing
2) He was super knowledgeable, kind and enjoyable to be around
3) Before the snorkeling tour, he was amazing with sharing information about how to do it and what to expect
4) They had the nicest and softest mask and fins equipment I've ever received on a snorkeling tour
5) The hour long tour was amazing and we saw tons of fish and even a turtle
6) He provided snacks and water afterwards
7) He patiently got us back to our hotel and just truly blew us away.

Very highly recommended!

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング　ベテラン日本語ガイドがご案内する少人数制ツアー　貸切プランあり＜半日/水中写真付き＞

Amazing! I saw a lot of fish and turtles! 最高！たくさんの魚と亀が観られました！

Reviewed by: あんこまま

I participated with my 9-year-old child. Surprisingly, the water in the morning was quite cold, and it was advised to wear a wetsuit, which we rented, and that was accurate! We also rented prescription masks, and both my child, who has poor eyesight, and I were able to enjoy watching cute fish (we even saw schools of fish!) and turtles without feeling cold.

I suddenly became scared of the ocean after not snorkeling for a while and couldn't swim at first, but the instructor, Chieko, kindly held my hand and helped me swim. Another instructor, Dan, also gave gentle advice! As a professional, he took us around to spots where we could see fish. Dan also provided various guidance in Japanese during the car transfer.

In the end, it cost quite a bit, but it was definitely worth the money! We made wonderful memories of Hawaii! Thank you very much!

9歳の子供と2人で参加しました。
意外と朝の海の水は冷たく、ウェットスーツを着たほうが良いとのアドバイスで借りましたが、これが正確でした！
度付きマスクも借りて、目の悪い子供共々、寒さを感じることなく、かわいい魚(魚の群れも観られました！)と亀を観ることができました。
私は久しぶりのシュノーケリングに、急に海が怖くなり最初は泳げなかったのですが、インストラクターのチエコさんが優しく手を引いてくれ、泳ぐことができました。
同じくインストラクターのダンも優しくアドバイス！プロならでは！で、魚が観られるスポットを廻ってくれました。
ダンはクルマの送迎でも日本語で色々と案内してくれました。
結果的にお金は大分掛かりましたが、払うだけの価値は充分ありました！
よいハワイの思い出ができました！
本当にありがとうございました！

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

Great crew for exploring this natural, beautiful sandbar!

Reviewed by: Alex

The sandbar itself is an awesome natural phenomenon, and having a top-notch crew that supports you during your visit is a great benefit! Their boat cruise out to the sandbar provides you with water and a snack, as well as offers a place out of the sun to change or use the restrooms which would otherwise be completely unavailable without them. PLUS, they provide so much equipment to snorkel, kayak, play volleyball, and swim with lifejackets that is all included in the initial price. Definitely recommend the banana boat or tube ride though, as the thrill of being pulled behind a speed boat across this paradise is beautiful and quite fun! Overall, excellent experience that allows you to enjoy a natural phenomenon I've never experienced before.

Ocean! 海！

Reviewed by: ずーみん

It's better not to expect shallow waters.

There were plenty of activities, so it was fun. The staff provided explanations in Japanese, live performances, and meals, which made the experience very fulfilling.

The seating is assigned, and you leave your belongings in that space when going to the sea. In case of theft, there are surveillance cameras. If you're concerned, it's better to secure your belongings with a lock.

One slight disappointment was that I rode the banana boat with my spouse, and since we were together, we couldn't take a photo. When I asked if we could at least get a photo at the moment we boarded, they declined. I thought it would have been better not to do it if we couldn't capture the memory.

I forgot my sunglasses on the return bus, and when I contacted the support center, they delivered them to my hotel. They also provided assistance in Japanese.

浅瀬になることを期待しないほうがいいです。

アクティブティが沢山あったので楽しかったです。
スタッフの方も日本語の説明や、生の演奏、食事もあったのでとても充実はしました。

席は決まっていて、荷物はそのスペースに置いて海に行きます。
万が一、盗まれた場合は監視カメラがあるそうです。不安な方は荷物に鍵を付けた方がいいです。

少し残念なのが、バナナボートに乗ったんですが。夫婦で乗ってしまったら撮れないので、乗る瞬間だけでも、写真頼めないですかと言ったら、断られました。写真に残らないなら、やらなければ良かったと思いました。

帰りのバスにサングラスを忘れて、サポートセンターに問い合わせたら、ホテルまで届けにきてくれました。こちらも日本語対応ありました。

I participated in a snorkeling tour. It started with being picked up at the hotel, and everything went smoothly, allowing me to enjoy snorkeling at Hanauma Bay comfortably.

There were about 10 participants, and having two guides who spoke Japanese made me feel at ease.

The view at Hanauma Bay was amazing. Compared to the coral reefs in Japan (like Okinawa), the fish swimming there were larger and more dynamic.

Disappointed!

Reviewed by: Daniela

very disappointed! $140 is way too much. We also paid extra $20 for lunch - and only got a sandwich with 2 pieces of pineapple - I mean this is a SNACK not a Lunch actually..

We were also only allowed to kayak in a certain tiny room. So we basically drove in circles and could not explor the beautiful sandbar - wow. So It would be cheaper if we had rent the kayak by our own!!

Too expensive - would rather pay the half of the price or less, but definitely not more!

The banana boat was fun. バナナボードは楽しかった

Reviewed by: りんご

It was really cold. I couldn't stay in the sea for even five minutes. The wind was strong, and the weather wasn't good.
I heard from relatives in Kaneohe that summer weather has a cycle, and during our time, there were just a few days with a lot of wind, clouds, and showers.
It seems that the sandbar is not often visible; we couldn't see it at all this time. The water was up to my chest, and the waves were strong. When I got on the free kayak, I was swept away immediately, and it was scary.
If possible, I would like to make a reservation while checking the weather on-site.
The crew members were very kind and warm. My mother had a hard time with seasickness, but we are grateful for their heartfelt support.

とにかく寒かった。寒くて5分も海にいられない。風も強い。天候よくなかった。
カネオヘ在の親戚に、夏の天気はサイクルがあって私達の時はちょうど風があり曇とシャワーが多い数日間だったようです。。。

この時は全く見られなかった。海水が胸まであり波も強く、無料のカヤックに乗ったら、すぐに流され、怖かったです。
できるなら、現地で天気見ながら申し込みしたい。

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

Kayak and paddle boarding without the crowds!

Reviewed by: Honolulu Fan

Get on a large boat with about 30 to 40 people to enjoy 20 minutes of live music as it takes us to our destination near the sandbar, then get off the boat and swim over to 4 possible activities:
(1) snorkeling
(2) kayaking
(3) paddle boarding
(4) sunbathing on a floating platform

Lunch is a turkey/cheese croissant sandwich with chips and a drink. I had great fun doing both kayaking and paddle boarding but I didn't do snorkeling. Word of advice - swim fast to either paddle board or kayak otherwise you'll have to wait about an hour for one to be available (first come first serve). Ultimately, everyone had a chance to do all activities but whichever one you are most looking forward to doing - hit it first! NOTE: water is deep in most places so even though you are wearing a lifevest, your feet will not touch the ground - it's not dangerous as there's no heavy surf but I don't want non swimmers to be surprised or panic.

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.

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.

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!

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.
