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

An excellent experience

Reviewed by: Annabelle

This was our first experience snorkelling and it was absolutely amazing. Our reef guide Kalini made the experience so special, he was extremely knowledgeable about the fish we could see and spent time getting to know us so he could make our experience personal. There were many other activities available on the sandbar but we were having such a great time snorkelling we didn’t get around to doing anything else. I would highly recommend this activity.

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

Fun excursion

Reviewed by: Rudy79g

My family and I really enjoyed our trip to Oahu and this excursion! The crew was amazing — super friendly, helpful, and made sure everyone was having a great time. The local Hawaiian music they played on the boat was excellent and really added to the overall vibe. Snorkeling and paddle boarding were a blast, and the views out on the bay were absolutely beautiful.

The only reason I didn’t give it a full five stars is because we didn’t really get to see the sandbar. The water was up to my chest (I’m 5’11”), so it didn’t quite have that “standing on the sandbar” experience we were hoping for. Still, it was a really fun and relaxing trip that I’d definitely recommend to anyone visiting Oahu!

One of the most memorable experiences of my life

Reviewed by: Lori

Communication was excellent from booking, to handing out equipment, to snorkeling instructions, to keeping group on-time and together, etc. I had complete confidence in the hosts' professionalism and adherence to safety protocols. Furthermore, they were personable and so interesting. The ride to/from the bay was almost as engaging as the snorkeling. The day I went the conditions were perfect: the water was clear and there were so many fish and even a turtle. Truly, the experience was wonderful from start to finish.

I was disappointed that the expected low tide sandbar did not appear as anticipated. Personally, I felt that the time to the port and the boat ride was long, and I also had too much free time with the various activities.

Great tour!

Reviewed by: Sharts

The tour itself was great - however the instructions were very clear that if you were late you’d be left behind. The guides let people wander in as late as 930 although check in time was 845 and the boat was supposed to leave at 9. Table choice was also not first come first serve - they saved the window seats for people with children so despite our group being one of the first to arrive we were placed in a center table and the people arriving 45 mins late and holding up the whole group got the window seats.

Once on the water the tour was great :) guides were friendly and helpful

I was able to go snorkeling. シュノーケルができました。

Reviewed by: tuna

I chose the morning plan without checking the tides, so I ended up being submerged in the sea up to my chest and couldn't see the sandbar. If you want to see the sandbar, I think it's better to check the tides beforehand. Once we got to the sandbar, we were able to enjoy activities like snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding freely, which was fun. The staff members who spoke Japanese shared unique stories with us. You can get donuts on the boat heading to the sandbar, but if you plan to get them later, they might run out, so I recommend getting them at the beginning.

潮汐を調べずに午前プランを選択してしまったので、サンドバーは見られずに胸元くらいまで海に浸かっている状態でした。サンドバーを見たい場合は、事前に潮汐を調べてから行ったほうがいいと思います。サンドバーについてからは、シュノーケルやサップなど自由に過ごすことができ、楽しめました。日本語を話してくださるスタッフの方々がユニークにお話してくださいます。サンドバーに向かう船の中でドーナツがもらえますが、後でもらおうと思っていると無くなりますので、初めにもらうといいと思います。

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

One of the best activities in Oahu

Reviewed by: Jessica Urias

From start to finish, this was one of the best experiences on the island as far as tours go. We got to the parking lot and we asked some locals where to go, and they directed us to the boat, which was at the very end of the dock. When we got in the folks working on the boat were very professional and welcoming. They have live music playing, and that was excellent as well. There was plenty of seating and they had complementary water, a juice, and donuts. They also had snacks for purchase and beer. There was restrooms on the boat and lifejackets. We were given clear instructions as to what activities we could do and for that price it was great. You could kayak you could do stand-up paddleboard you could snorkel or you could pay extra to do the banana boats or the bumper boats, but I think you had to sign up for those prior to going on the trip out. The whole family had fun and we were all able to try everything with the allotted amount of time that we were out on the water. It was a great experience overall, and we recommend it to all the families that visit Oahu.

マリンスポーツパッケージ　3種類　バナナボート＋バンパーチューブ＋ウミガメシュノーケリング＜ハワイカイ＞

The tour content was extremely satisfying!! 大満足できるツアー内容！！

Reviewed by: りゅう

I was filled with anxiety on my first overseas trip, but there were people who spoke Japanese, so I had no problems at all.

I had a great time on the banana boat and bumper tube, teetering on the edge of falling off! Both activities required wearing life jackets, which made me feel safe.

During snorkeling, I also wore a life jacket and just swam on the surface, but at the snorkeling spot, I was thrilled to see two sea turtles and lots of small fish welcoming me! While touching the sea turtles is not allowed, you can get close enough to take pictures with your smartphone! Just be cautious of seasickness as the boat sways constantly. Also, it was just us, but after we finished, I was so cold that my body was shaking, so if you're worried, it's best to prepare a jacket or a bath towel to keep warm.

There was about a 30 to 40-minute wait from the pickup to the start, and after finishing the banana boat and bumper tube, there was a little over an hour before snorkeling, so you can grab a meal at nearby restaurants during that time.

For changing clothes, there was something like a changing room for one person, and there were two lockable restrooms where you could change. However, I just dried off with a towel without changing, and no one said anything while providing transportation.

Tips are given to different drivers for each boat, so after finishing the banana boat and bumper tube, you give a tip to that driver, and after snorkeling, you give a tip to the snorkeling guide.

初の海外旅行で不安だらけでしたが、
日本語を話せる方もおり、何も問題ありませんでした。

バナナボートとバンパーチューブでは落ちるか落ちないかの瀬戸際で楽しませて頂きました！
どちらもライフジャケット着用なので安心です

水面を泳ぐだけでしたが、ポイントではウミガメが2匹
とたくさんの小魚が出迎えてくれ大興奮！
ウミガメは触るのはNGですが、近づくのは大丈夫なので

常に波に揺られるので船酔いには注意です
あと、私たちだけでしたが、終わった後に体が震えるほど冷えたので、もし不安な方は暖を取れるよう上着やバスタオルをしっかり準備した方がいいです。

送迎後から開始までに30~40分程、
バナナボート、バンパーチューブ終了からシュノーケリングまで1時間と少し時間があり、近くに飲食店もあるのでご飯はそのタイミングで済ませられます。

着替えは、1人分なら更衣室のようなものがあったのと、
鍵のかかるトイレが2つあるのでそこで着替えられますが、私は着替えずにタオルで拭いただけの濡れた状態でも特に何も言われず送迎してくださりました。

チップはボートごとに運転手が違うので、
バナナボートとバンパーチューブが終わったらその方に、
シュノーケリングが終わったらその方に渡します。

I got to see a sea turtle! ウミガメに会えた！

Reviewed by: ちっち

I stayed at a hotel near Kuhio Beach. I changed into my swimsuit at the hotel and took The Bus to get there. There were no particular landmarks at the meeting point, but staff appeared as the time approached. The staff spoke only English. It was a good decision to come in my swimsuit instead of changing there. The meeting point was in front of the restroom, but it was unavailable. There was a restroom on the yacht.

I took motion sickness medication based on other people's reviews, and none of my family of six experienced seasickness. The yacht, with its pink sails against the blue sky, was very beautiful. There were two staff members, who might have been brothers. They were cheerful and very kind. I was a bit anxious about not understanding English, but I felt at ease.

Since I can't swim, I borrowed a life jacket. During snorkeling, we were guided to a spot where we could see sea turtles. There is a rule that you must not approach within one meter, and if you accidentally get too close, you will be stopped. There were many beautiful fish, and I could have watched them forever. After snorkeling, before heading back to the port, we went a little east, allowing us to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

クヒオビーチのホテルに宿泊。あらかじめホテルで水着に着替えてザ・バスで移動。
待ち合わせ場所には特に目印がなく、時間が近づくとスタッフが現れました。スタッフは英語オンリー。

トイレの前が待ち合わせ場所でしたが使えませんでした。ヨットにはトイレがあります。
他の方の口コミを参考に酔い止めを飲んで参加。家族6人全員、船酔いすることはありませんでした。
ヨットはピンクの帆が青い空に映えてとても素敵。スタッフは2人で、兄弟？だったのかも。
明るくとても親切。英語が分からず不安もありましたが、安心して過ごせました。
私は泳げないのでライフジャケットを借りました。
シュノーケリングでは、ウミガメのいるポイントまで案内してもらえました。1メートル以内に近づいてはいけないルールがあり、うっかり近づきすぎると制止されます。魚もたくさんいてとても綺麗で、ずっと見ていたいくらいでした。シュノーケリングが終わった後は、港に戻る前に少し東に走らせてくれて、美しい景色も堪能できました。

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

Many hours of many fun activities would definitely do it again

Reviewed by: Mike

The live music was fun while traveling on the boat to The Sandbar and the donuts were fresh and good. The tubing was an absolute blast! The banana boat was not as fun as the tubing and my wife fell off although we did see sea turtles while on the banana boat. We would definitely do the tubing again. The snorkeling was fun with lots of fish swimming right in front of my face and a coral reef below you while you float on your stomach. The board you can stand on or kneel on and paddle was interesting and challenging. They also had kayaks but everybody wanted to use the boards. Playing volleyball with multiple people out in the water was fun and they also had other toys like footballs and water guns but nobody really used them. Just swimming in the middle of the ocean while standing on the sandbar was a blast. The sandwiches on the way home we're also fresh and good. The only thing that could make this better was if the boat did not have a roof so we can feel the breeze and fresh air while traveling out to The Sandbar. Overall I would definitely recommend this and do it again!

I would like to use it again next time. 次回もまた利用したいと思います

Reviewed by: さもはん

We utilized the afternoon plan for a family of four, including our elementary school-aged son and daughter. We drove to the meeting point with a rental car, and from there, it took about 20 minutes by boat. On the boat, we enjoyed lunch (croissant sandwiches, etc.) and drinks while taking in the scenery. After finishing our meal, we arrived offshore shortly after.

When I went, the water depth was just enough for an adult like me to stand a little, rather than being at a sandbar.

Once offshore, we enjoyed kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding, which thrilled the kids. During snorkeling, I was able to see many fish even as a beginner when diving in areas with coral. Additionally, there were about 4-5 staff members nearby at all times, so I felt comfortable letting the little ones play.

We also reserved a banana boat as an option, but due to some waves that day, we switched to a banana boat. The kids enjoyed the thrill of being towed at a decent speed, and we were amazed when a large sea turtle came right next to the boat. It was much bigger than the sea turtles we saw in Haleiwa Bay, and when I asked the staff, they mentioned that this area has few predators, allowing them to grow larger.

The tour lasted just under four hours, from around 12 PM to 4 PM, and there were staff members who spoke Japanese, making it a reassuring experience for those who are not confident in English.

I participated in the afternoon session with about 20 people in six groups. I noticed that there were significantly more participants in the morning session, likely more than double. If it’s less crowded, I think you can enjoy the activities for a longer time, so the impression may vary depending on how busy it is.

小学生の息子・娘を含む家族4人で午後プランを利用しました。
集合場所まではレンタカーで行き、そこから船で約20分、船中はランチ（クロワッサンサンド等）や飲み物がついているのでそれを食べながら風景を楽しみ、食べ終わって少しすると沖に到着。
ちなみに私が行った時はサンドバーではなく、大人の自分が水中で少し足がつくかな、くらいの水深でした。

沖ではカヤックやSUPが楽しめ子供たちも大喜び。スノーケリングでは珊瑚がある場所で潜ると素人の私でもたくさんの魚を見ることができました。
またスタッフが4-5名は随時近くに居てくれるので、多少小さな子がいても安心して遊ばせることができると思いました。

また、オプションでバンパーボートを予約したのですが、この日は波が少しあったので当日バナナボートに変更、そこそこのスピードで牽引され子供たちもスリルを楽しんだほか、大きなウミガメがボートのすぐ横まで寄ってきて感動しました。
ハレイワ湾で見たウミガメよりもだいぶ大きく、スタッフに聞いたところこの辺りは外敵が少ないため、大きく成長できるんだとか。

12時過ぎから16時ころまで4時間弱、楽しむことができるツアーで、参加中も日本語が話せるスタッフもいたので、英語が得意でない方にも安心して参加できるツアーだと思います。

私が参加したのは午後で6組で20名ちょっとくらいが参加、当日の午前のツアーで下船された方は非常に多く倍以上は参加者がいたのではと思います。空いているとアクティビティも楽しめる時間が長くなると思うので、混み具合で多少印象は変わるかもしれません。
