All Reviews for Kaneohe Sandbar, Oahu

Really a good time with fresh lunch and good live music. Banana boats were a blast I laughed so hard. There was crew out on the sandbar showing us sea life and it was great!

The sea was very beautiful! I want to go again! The staff were also interesting people! There were rice balls and drinks, making it a very fulfilling tour!

とても綺麗な海でした！また行きたいです！
スタッフの方も面白い方でした！
おにぎりや飲み物などもありとても充実したツアーでした！

I was able to see about five sea turtles and coral reefs while snorkeling. However, the sea was cold, and there was wind, so I only snorkeled once and quickly changed.

The tide was high, and my 3-year-old daughter couldn't walk on the sand, so I had to carry her and we only went a little into the water.

The sea is best to visit in the summer. The bus for transportation was also cold, so it's better to dress warmly.

シュノーケリングで、サンゴ礁、海ガメ5匹程見れました。でも海が寒い、風もあり、1回だけシュノーケリングして、すぐに着替えてしまいました。
潮も満ちていて、3歳の娘は砂の上を歩けず、抱っこして海に少し入るだけ。

海は夏に行くべきです。
移動のバスも寒いので、暖かい格好をして行った方がいいです。

The whole ever crew at the sand bar was amazing. From the boarding, to the live music, and to the guys down in the sandbar!

Highly recommend.. don't hesitate and just book it.. Awesome experience! Beautiful views! Super awesome crew on board and learned alot tooo! And would do it again! Great place to take your family. I took my sr parents and they had a blast.

Best tour of the the sandbar so many activities and awesome staff and fun for all live music ! Don’t miss out even if you are local or visiting it’s a great way to spend a day in the water with no fuss, just bring yourselves and sunscreen and be ready for fun! Snorkel paddle board volley ball, kayak, rides and sun party deck it’s all there plus great music entertainment, Lunch, bring your friends and have a blast!

This whole experience was well thought out. From the live music to the events, to the food. It is well organized and made the experience really enjoyable.

There was plenty of activities to do for all ages.

Had a great time with good music. The crew was great and the sand bar was fun!

I was lucky to be able to make a reservation as there were still openings the day before! I enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding and relaxing on a float in the beautiful waters of Kaneohe Sandbar (when I went, the water was about waist-deep), and after that, I was able to go on a short snorkeling trip to see the coral reefs. During snorkeling, I saw three large sea turtles, which was fantastic. There were also cute eels! It was great to enjoy cocoa on the boat along with spam musubi and snacks! Since it’s compact and enjoyable in the morning, I think it’s perfect for those with a shorter stay. There was also a Japanese staff member, so I think those who are not confident in their English will feel at ease. Don’t forget that it can be cold getting out of the water in winter without a towel!

前日にまだ空きがあり、予約できてラッキーでした！
カネオヘサンドバーという綺麗な海(私が行った時は腰くらいまでの深さでした)でSUPをしたり、浮き輪で浮いたりのんびりしたあとに、短いコースですがサンゴ礁シュノーケルができました。
シュノーケル中3匹も大きなウミガメが見れてとても良かったです。かわいいウツボもいました♪
船の上でココア飲んだりスパムにぎりやお菓子もいただけてとても良かったです！
午前でコンパクトに楽しめるので、滞在が短めな方にはぴったりだと思います。スタッフさんに日本人の方もいたので英語苦手な人も安心だと思います。
タオルがないと海から上がったあと冬場は寒いと思うのでお忘れなく！

The best tour ever. Went with this tour 4-5 times already and we absolutely love it. I took all my visitors there! All my friends and families love it. The stuffs are super friendly and they are the best people. The boat caption , Kevin is the nicest guy ever. So much activities to do : kayak , paddle board , snorkeling and banana boat. Perfect for family with kids too. Just absolutely amazing! We had the best experience and definitely will go back again. Mahalo you guys for the best time we love you guys!

Staff were so kind and fun, we had a great time snorkeling amazing!

The staff spoke Japanese, so the safety explanations, including sending signals if someone was in danger of drowning, were very clear. My husband couldn't swim very well, so we planned to wait on the boat, but thanks to the staff, we were able to go snorkeling.

It was fun to use the SAP and floaties. The spam onigiri, snacks, and macadamia nut coffee were also delicious.

Since it was cold in February, I think it's better to bring a long-sleeved cover-up.

日本語が話せるスタッフでしたので、おぼれそうになったらサインを送る等安全面含め説明がとても分かりやすかったです。主人がほとんど泳げませんでしたので船で待機する予定でしたが、スタッフの方のおかげでシュノーケリングができました。
SAPや浮き輪も使えて楽しかったです。スパムのおむすび、スナック菓子、マカダミアナッツのコーヒーもおいしかったです。
2月で寒かったので、長袖の羽織るものをお持ちいただいた方がよいと思います。

It was a bit cold with strong winds in February, but it was fine once I got into the sea! The staff were very friendly and spoke Japanese, so I felt comfortable enjoying my time there.

2月なので風が強く少し寒かったですけど海に入れば大丈夫でした！スタッフもとても親切で日本語も話せるから安心して楽しめます♪

We participated as a pair. The weather was a mix of cloudy and sunny. There were about 30 participants, and surprisingly, 28 of them were Japanese. Therefore, all the explanations that day were in Japanese, and the crew members were very kind. When we went to the heavenly sea by boat, we were greeted by an emerald blue that looked like a picture. It was much more beautiful than the sea at Waikiki Beach. We participated in early February, and the sea was warmer than we expected. First, we rode a stand-up paddleboard in the shallow waters for the first time, and it felt very pleasant. After that, we went snorkeling and swam above the fish. We also encountered turtles twice. This was the activity where I felt the most connected to Hawaii during this trip. I would love to participate again if I come back.

2人で参加。天候は曇りと晴れが混ざった感じ。参加者が30人程いましたが、なんと内28人が日本人。そのため、その日の説明は全て日本語、クルーの皆さんとても親切でした。船で天国の海にいくと、写真のようなエメラルドブルーが広がっています。ワイキキビーチの海とは比較にならないくらい綺麗。2月上旬の参加でしたが、思ったよりも海は暖かかったです。まずは浅瀬でサップボートに初めて乗りましたが、とても心地がいい。その後シュノーケリングをし、魚が泳いでいる上を遊泳していました。あと亀にも2回遭遇しました。今回のハワイ旅行で1番ハワイを感じたアクティビティでした。また来たら参加したい。

Great and fun experience. Staff and performers were very kind, accommodating, and entertaining. I would highly recommend.

I had a great time. There were various activities, and I really enjoyed myself. I was able to meet turtles, which became an unforgettable memory for me. This is a tour I can recommend to anyone.

とても楽しかったです。
いろいろなアクティビティがあり、楽しめました。亀に会うことができ、一生忘れられない思い出になりました。
どんな方にもおすめできるツアーです。

現地1/30(月)
母の還暦祝いにハワイ旅行をプレゼントしました。
1月下旬のハワイは風が強いためかなり肌寒く、スコール頻度が高かったです。

ツアーには日本人が3組と、外国人が3.4組ほどの合同でホテルまでの送迎付きで参加しました。

CMでよく見るサンドバーを想像していましたが、着いた時は曇天、潮位も腰ぐらい、水温もかなり冷たかったので、想像してたのとは違いがありました。
サンドバーでは同じツアーの日本人家族とバレーボールで激しく動いたのでその時は寒さを感じませんでした(笑)
船に戻るとものすごく寒すぎて日本人はみなブルブル震えていました。なので、タオルは多めで大きいの、羽織物も必須です。
船上では、日本人女性ガイドさんが親切にわかりやすく説明してくれました。
昼食は船上で焼いたハンバーガー
美味しかったです♪

ウミガメウォッチングでは、見事に大きなウミガメが何匹も海面に顔を出していました！
さらに、人生初大きな野生のマンタにも会うことができました！

シュノーケリング
思ってたよりかなり深く水深は約10-15mとのこと。
前日の大雨やスコールの影響で水中はかなり濁ってました。
近くまでいかないと何も見えない状況下の中で、なんとか大きな珊瑚と小魚見つけました(笑)
さらに急に野生のウミガメが現れてビックリ！
水温がかなり低かったので長居は出来ませんでしたが、貴重な体験をすることが出来ました！

ハワイ初シュノーケルは天候に恵まれなかったので残念でしたが、ツアー自体は見応えあって満足しています！
次こそは乾季の時期にもう一度トライしたいと思います！

I had a wonderful experience. During snorkeling, I was able to see three sea turtles, and one of them was close enough to touch.

素晴らしい体験ができました。
シュノーケリングではウミガメを三匹見ることができ、
そのうちの一匹は触れるほどの距離で見ることができました。

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The experience was wonderful, even though the day was not sunny and it was a little windy. The snorkeling was amazing, and we definitely saw a bunch of turtles! The boat ride was smooth, and the water was nice! Definitely recommend, it was totally worth it!

When I woke up in the morning and looked outside, it was cloudy... Since it looked cold, I wore a swimsuit, a rash guard, and a light jumper! There were four staff members on the boat, and they were all wearing thick hoodies (laughs). We arrived at the sandbar quickly from where the boat was anchored! The water was about waist-deep, and despite the clouds, it was surprisingly clear and beautiful! They lent us paddleboards and floaties, so we spent time taking pictures and having fun at the sandbar! After that, we put on life jackets and snorkels and swam to see the honu! It was quite deep, but wearing a life jacket made it completely fine! There were a lot of participants, so it was a bit crowded for swimming. We were able to see about 3-4 honu (^ - ^). After getting out of the water, it was so cold that I was shivering, so having a thick hoodie or sweatshirt might be a good idea! On the boat, there were snacks, warm water, coffee, and one spam onigiri per person! The snacks were all-you-can-eat, so I tried some that I had never eaten before! They were all delicious snacks, so I bought some as souvenirs at a local supermarket! Since there was a little time after getting off the boat, some people were changing. It was really cold, so I wish I had brought a change of clothes... One of the staff members spoke Japanese, so I could hear the explanations in Japanese! It was a valuable experience!!

朝起きて外を見たら、曇り、、、
寒そうだったので水着＋ラッシュガード＋薄手のジャンパーみたいなものを羽織って行きました！
船のスタッフは4名いましたが、みなさん厚めのパーカーを羽織ってました(笑)
船の停まってる場所からサンドバーまではすぐ到着しました！腰くらいの高さでしたが、曇りの割に水が透き通って見えてとても綺麗でした！
パドルボートや浮き輪を貸してくれたので、サンドバーで楽しみながら写真を撮ったりして過ごしました！
その後、ライフジャケットとシュノーケルをつけて、ホヌに会いに泳ぎました！結構深いところですが、ライフジャケットを着てるので全く問題なかったです！
参加者が多かったので、泳ぎにくさはありました。3-4匹のホヌに会えることができました(^-^)
海から上がった後は震えるくらい寒かったので、厚手のパーカーやトレーナーがあると、いいかもしれません！
船上ではスナック、あったかい水・コーヒー、1人1個スパムおにぎりがありした！！スナックは食べ放題なので、食べたことのないスナックを食べました！！どれも美味しいスナックなので、お土産に地元のスーパーでも買いました！
船から降りてから少し時間もあったので、着替えてる方もいました。とにかく寒かったので着替え持参しておけばよかった、、
スタッフのうち1名、日本語スタッフがいてくれたので、説明は日本語で聞けました！
貴重な経験ができました！！

Great fun for my family with teenagers and friends! Something to do for everyone /)

Such an amazing experience, All the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. They helped with everything, the live music was amazing and added to the experience. Great vocals by Jesse! Highly recommend! 5 stars!!

We had a wonderful morning! The team working the adventure was helpful and knowledgeable. We highly recommend it! Our family of 4 ( 2 adults and 2 children: age 11 and 6) and our friend that was visiting has a blast kayaking, SUP and hanging out on the floating island. Music was awesome! My kids love the lemonade and donuts.

The sea was beautiful, and I saw a lot of fish. It was shallow, so the distance to the coral was close. There are various activities included, so you can really enjoy yourself.

海も綺麗でお魚が沢山みれました。
浅いので珊瑚との距離が近かったです。
アクティビティが色々ついているのでしっかり楽しめます

The sea was crystal clear and there were lots of fish!
I had a great time with SUP and canoeing.
It was nice to have snacks and Hawaiian music as well.
The bumper tube ride was intense and really fun.

海が透き通っていてお魚も沢山！
SUPやカヌーもできてとても楽しかったです。
軽食やハワイアンミュージックもあってよかった
バンパーチューブが激しくてとても楽しかったです。

The staff was absolutely fantastic. It was the first tour of the new year, and the weather was perfect! The hamburgers were delicious, and it was a unique experience that you can't find elsewhere. I highly recommend it for those who are inexperienced.

スタッフが最高に楽しかったです。新年1回目のツアーだったらしく、天候も最高！ハンバーガーも美味しくて他では味わえない楽しみでした。
未経験の方は絶対オススメです。

We went snorkeling around the sandbar and enjoyed various marine activities in the shallow waters. It was safe and fun! We also got to see three sea turtles swimming, which made us truly feel the essence of Hawaii.

The staff were very kind, and there was even a Japanese staff member who was attentive throughout our visit.

Thank you to all the staff! I especially recommend this for families with children.

サンドバー周辺をシュノーケリングし、浅瀬では様々なマリンアクティビティ。安全で楽しく遊ぶことができました。また、ウミガメの泳ぐ姿(3頭)も見ることができ、ハワイを実感しました。
スタッフの方がとても親切。日本人スタッフの方もいて、終始、気を使っていただきました。
スタッフの皆さん、ありがとうございました！
子連れの方には特におすすめです。

That’s probably one of my favorite things we have done in Oahu. Crew was awesome. Even if you don’t know how to snorkel they will make sure you are safe & get to enjoy snorkeling. We loved hanging out at the sandbar paddle boarding and playing ball. Saw plenty of fish and got to swim next to multiple turtles. Great experience!

Great trip and highly recommended. The crew and live music were great and the activities included (paddle board, kayak, snorkel, volleyball) kept me and my wife busy during our time at the sandbar. We also saw live coral and a ton of fish as well as an octopus hiding near the anchor. Definitely a tour anyone should consider if they haven't visited the sandbar before. Having the boat also allowed us to avoid the sun and stay hydrated after the activities, sometime we wouldn't have been able to do if we had kayaked over from the harbor on our own.

Would recommend this to anyone the crew is outstanding the water was amazing. Beer was ice cold!!
