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

Wow! What an experience!

Reviewed by: The Bermudez Family

Loved this Adventure. Large spacious catamaran. Love the live music. Greeted with smiles, donuts, and tang. Can’t swim? Never snorkeled? This is the place to experience these activities. Water level at the sandbar was knee high. Lots of fish to see hiding in the coral. Don’t know what you’re looking at? Ask the knowledgeable crew. Need a bit of excitement - ride the banana boat - that will wake you up! Highly recommend this adventure.

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＞

I'm glad I went on the tour! ツアーで行って正解でした！

Reviewed by: マーチ

Hanauma Bay requires a reservation, and it's quite difficult to get there without a rental car. Additionally, there is a video to watch after entering, so it was definitely the right choice for me to join this tour since I only speak Japanese! I didn't see any sea turtles, but I was able to snorkel a lot. By the way, I participated without renting a wetsuit, just wearing a long-sleeved rash guard, but since I also wore a life jacket, I was able to enjoy it safely.

ハナウマ湾は、予約が必要であり、現地へ行くのもレンタカーでないと大変、さらに、入場後のビデオ視聴等もあり、日本語しか話せない私にはこのツアーで行って正解でした！ウミガメは見られなかったですが、たっぷりシュノーケリングすることができました。ちなみに、私はウエットスーツは借りず、上下長袖ラッシュガードで参加しましたが、救命胴衣もつけるので、十分安全に楽しめました。

Hanauma Bay currently requires a reservation to enter, but this tour does not require advance booking, and we were taken there by a guide. The view of Hanauma Bay from above is stunning, and since access is difficult, I was really glad to be taken there on this tour.

I experienced snorkeling separately and rented a wetsuit for $10. The coral might be prettier in Okinawa, but I was very satisfied to see sea turtles and fish. It seems that getting a Hanauma Bay-specific guide's license is currently difficult, so I think being taken there is a rare opportunity. It was great. Thank you very much.

ハナウマベイは今予約がないと入れないですが、このツアーでは事前予約が不要で、ガイドさんに連れて行ってもらいました。(2023.6.29)
ハナウマベイを上から見る景色が素晴らしく、アクセスが難しいので、このツアーで連れて行ってもらえてすごく良かったです。
シュノーケルは別でウェットスーツを10ドルでつけて体験しました。
サンゴ自体は沖縄の方がきれいかもしれませんが、海ガメや魚が見れてすごく満足しました。
ハナウマベイ専用ガイドの認可を取るのがいま難しいらしく、連れて行ってもらえるのは貴重だと思います。よかったです。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 experience with kiddies

Reviewed by: Mari

We took our 2.5 year old toddler on this tour and it was a wonderful experience. What’s great about this tour is that once you’re out at the sandbar you can paddle board, kayak, snorkel, and/or swim, hangout at the floating deck, etc. I’m glad we had these activities because there’s not that much to do at the sandbar otherwise! I had fun paddle boarding and kayaking with my toddler (wearing a life jacket, which they provide). We were done with the activities after a while and my toddler wanted to be back on the “big boat,” which was also fine because the boat is comfortable, provides shade, and has bathrooms and changing rooms. Just remember to bring some drinks and snacks to enjoy after all the exercise!

I was moved by Hanauma Bay for the second time! 2度目のハナウマ湾に感動！

Reviewed by: まおち

The scenery at Hanauma Bay was different from what I saw over 30 years ago; it has been beautifully maintained, with strict management including entry restrictions and video presentations of the rules. Thanks to this, the underwater environment was very clear, and I was able to see many fish and even a rare eel that is seldom seen, even by guides.

Although it was a super low tide, which meant I couldn't meet a honu, and I struggled with my goggles and taking breaks, resulting in swallowing seawater multiple times, my guide held my hand the whole time, allowing me to fully enjoy snorkeling! Thank you very much for your great support!

30年以上前に訪れた時のハナウマ湾の光景とは違っていて、綺麗に整備され、入場制限やルールのビデオ上映など、管理も徹底されていました。お陰で？海中はとても綺麗で、たくさんの魚たちやガイドさんでも滅多に見られない？希少なウツボも見ることが出来ました。
スーパー引き潮だったので、ホヌに会えなかったこと、ゴーグルとの相性が悪く、息抜きも下手だったので、何度も海水を飲んじゃいましたが
ガイドさんにずっと手を引いてもらい、無事にシュノーケリングを満喫出来ました！大変お世話になり有難うございました！

It became a wonderful memory. 素敵な思い出になりました。

Reviewed by: Hiro

Originally, I was scared and not good at going into places where my feet couldn't reach, but I wanted to try it at least once in my life, so I participated. It was deeper and scarier than I had imagined, but thanks to the instructor who kindly spoke to me and held my hand all the way through, my dream came true. Also, it's better to borrow and wear a wetsuit. My companion was bare-chested, but their back turned red, and the shape of the life jacket straps was imprinted on it (laughs).

元々、足の届かない所に入るのは怖くて苦手でしたが、一生に１度はやってみたいと思い参加。
思っていた以上に深くて怖かったですが、インストラクターの方に優しく声をかけて頂き、最後まで手をつないでリードしてくれたお陰で、夢がかないました。
それとウエットスーツは借りて着用した方がいいですよ。連れは、上半身裸でしたが背中が赤くなり救命胴衣のヒモの形がついていました(笑)

Great experience if you are looking for budget friendly turtle snorkeling experience. The guys were very friendly, nice and cared for the group. The time was perfect. Long enough to swim with turtles and short enough for people who got sea sick. Highly recommend. Thank you for making this budget friendly experience available.

Maternity travel マタニティ旅行

Reviewed by: スヌーピーLOVE

I participated in the simplest plan (without optional activities or transportation).

On the day of the tour, I took thebus from Ala Moana Shopping Center, leaving a little after 7:00 AM. There wasn't much delay, and we arrived around 8:10 AM. The harbor seems to mainly serve local fishermen. There was a small shop selling alcohol, soft drinks, snacks, and fishing gear.

There is a changing room on the boat, but it can only accommodate one person at a time, so I think it's better to wear your swimsuit underneath.

Fortunately, there was a Japanese staff member on our tour! Additionally, among the foreign staff, there was someone who spoke Japanese fluently. There were also safety instructions written in Japanese, so those who are anxious about English can feel at ease.

Since I was 29 weeks pregnant, I enjoyed a little snorkeling with my husband and then just relaxed on the boat, but others were really enjoying activities like stand-up paddleboarding and beach volleyball.

When participating, I recommend checking the low and high tide times to choose the best tour time! It was a lot of fun!

一番シンプルなプラン（オプションアクティビティなし、送迎なし）で参加しました。

当日はアラモアナショッピングセンターを7時過ぎに出発するthebusで向かい、バスの遅れもそこまでなく、8：10ごろには到着しました。
ハーバーは地元の釣り人などがメインで利用されているようです。アルコール、ソフドリ、軽食、釣具などを販売している小さな売店もありました。
船上に着替える部屋がありますが、1名ずつしか利用できないので、水着を下に着てくるのがベターだと思います。

私たちのツアーでは運良く日本人スタッフがおりました！また、外国人スタッフの中に日本語が達者な方もいました。日本語で書かれた注意文も用意されており、英語に不安がある方も安心です^ ^

妊娠29週で参加したため、旦那とシュノーケリングを少し楽しみ、あとは船上でゆっくりするだけにしましたが、他の方々はSUPやビーチバレーなど、すごくエンジョイしていました^ ^

参加の際は是非干潮・満潮時刻と睨めっこしてツアー時間帯を選ぶと良いと思います！
とても楽しかったです！

Reviewed by: ヒロシ

The parking lot was quite crowded, but it was understandable since it was the earliest optional tour in the morning. In the past, you could go freely, but now there are strict regulations regarding reservations and waiting times. However, it was very smooth since we could go through the tour company. After watching the orienteering video and stepping outside, we saw a rainbow. The guide during snorkeling was also very good, and we were able to see various fish. It would be quite difficult to go individually, so I highly recommend this tour.

駐車場は結構混んでいましたでも　朝が1番早いオプショナルツアーでしたが納得でした　昔はフリーで行けたのに今は予約やら順番待ちやら規制がとても厳しい　でもツアー会社の枠で行けるのでとてもスムーズでした　オリエンテーリングのビデオを見て外へ出たら虹が出ていました　シュノーケリング時ガイドもとても良く色々な魚を見ることが出来ました　個人で行こうとすると大変なのでとてもお勧めのツアーです

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.

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!
