Oahu
beautiful day on the water with family!! they have so many activities to fill the day
This was exactly what I needed to do for a spring break morning after a stressful half semester. The staff were super friendly. I really appreciate that the SUP boards and kayaks were available for anyone to use at any time, as well as that we were not required to give up our kayak after any given period of time. We ended up spending most of our time floating and paddling. The reef is also great for snorkeling, with some unusual sea cucumber things I hadn't seen elsewhere in Hawaii.
This was a fun half day trip. Parking is free which is a plus. It's great for big groups, newcomer's to Hawaii and families with kids. The sand bar is shallow, so it's easier on non-swimmers. The equipment was in good condition and clean. The staff was great and very helpful. It's BYOB and food so that's a treat and you're not locked in to some random meal that you don't like. Spend the extra money for the Tube Ride, it's worth it. The entertainment is wonderful and legit! There is so much local talent in Hawaii and it was a pleasure to have see some. We did the morning boat and my teenagers loved it and it was just enough time for them to be able to get back and surf in the afternoon. I highly recommend this excursion and like any industry, tipping is always a great way to show gratitude.
My fiancée and I did the afternoon session and our experience was amazing. Even though the time it takes from the marina to the sandbar isn't too long the singing brahs were amazing. They can really sing and are truly great souls. The staff was extremely friendly and very knowledgable in all the activities that they offer. Im not a small guy and they were able to guide me and get me to be able to paddle board standing up on my first time ever trying the activity. They always made sure everyone was safe while doing all the activities they offer. I would 100% recommend visiting the sandbar during your vacation!
OMG!!! We had so much fun. Met and made new friends! The crew was the best!!! The live music did it for us. Recommend to friends visiting soon and will choose this excursion again.
It was an amazing.experience. i am glad i chose this tour with Captain Bob's crew.
The crew is lovely. Trip is laid-back, relaxing, and always so much fun! BYOB and sandwiches! Chips and soft drinks are provided. Paddle boards, floaties, snorkels, and other ocean toys are also provided. The trip is what you make it/want it to be! We always use Capt. Bruce when we want to go out. 10/10!
Aloha Kimberly, on behalf of Capt. Bruce, we thank you so much for your support!
Your feedback is greatly appreciated and we look forward to seeing you in the near future.
Mahalo kindly.
This was one of the best parts of my trip. My boyfriend and I did the afternoon session and our experience was amazing. We had so much fun. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating but they also made sure everyone was safe while doing all the activities they offer. I would 100% recommend doing this during your vacation!
You should definitely book the sandbar excursion. We had a great time paddle boarding and playing volleyball. The best part was the banana boat and snorkeling as we got to see sea turtles. The staff is so nice and helpful and the music was great as well. We will definitely do this again!! Take your drinks and enjoy the best time ever!
We were a group of 16 travel nurses. We had a blast! We booked the afternoon tour with banana boat and tube rides. We were provided with lunch upon boarding. We also brought our own coolers and snacks. There was live musicians playing who were AMAZING!!!! The ENTIRE crew was so fun and accommodating. They made sure we were taken care of. They provide you with snorkel gears, stand up paddle, kayaks and there was also a floating lounge area to chill at. We had a blast playing water volleyball too. JUST BOOK IT! You won’t regret it. Also please bring cash to tip the crew and musicians because they truly deserve it. Mahalo for everything!!!! Will come back again!
Had a wonderful time at the sandbar, kids really enjoyed. Lunch was yummy as well
We enjoyed our morning at the Sandbar! There were 8 of us. We definitely could've stayed out there longer but we loved it! Make sure to bring snacks, dranks, hat& sunscreen! Even loved the live music, wish they played live music on the barge! I think that would be so fun! LOL definitely recommend!
Was a great experience. All of the crew were very much helpful and welcome.
The quality of the food was also good. The crew had sufficient canoes, paddle boats and they paid person attention to each of the guest.
As a family of 3 young children (10, 7 and 20 months), we wanted to do at least one excursion on our trip and this was perfect for the 20 month old as she was able to swim in the sandbar! There were no issues taking the 40 minute bus and then the 10 minutes boat ride over to Kaneohe. It was very organized and clean! The staff were very professional and nice and when I emailed the company about bringing my baby’s float, they had no concerns! Kaneohe Sandbar was absolutely breathtaking and so beautiful! We even saw lots of sea turtles! We spent some time in the sandbar to swim and they even set up a volleyball net! They also come around and take pictures for you. While you’re out swimming, the other staff is preparing lunch. The food was pretty good too! Next stop was snorkeling and my husband said it was fun with the kids. They even rinse you off after you’ve finished. Definitely pack extra dry clothes as the bus gets cold - I read a review about that and it came in handy. I am definitely going to recommend this excursion to others.
The boat crew was amazing - So accommodating and fun - music was fantastic.
After looking up so many different activities to do, I am so glad that I ended up choosing this one. Everyone was so amazing from the crew and musicians. The live music was amazing! The different activities available was great because everyone had options to do what they want and experience different things.
The boat was great, the crew were even better, the views and sand bar are just epic. Cannot recommend this tour enough. Super friendly crew, great live music during the transit, and then just an epic time and views at the sand bar. Don't hesitate if you want to have a great experience while on Oahu!
If you’re researching activities to do and you have made it this far to read this review, then you’re in the right place. Pull the trigger and do this activity. It’s 100% worth it…. I only wish it was a longer period of time!
The trip was so fun. Our captains were honestly the nicest and friendliest people. So many toys and snorkeling was AWESOME. Got to be up close with a sea turtle. They had drinks and great snacks for us. Honestly, amazing experience and great price. Definitely recommend
Aloha, on behalf of Capt. Bruce, we would like to thank you for this amazing review. Mahalo!
This was such a fun excursion to attend with a friend. Very convenient transportation and the boat was spacious and clean. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful for first-time snorkelers. Lunch and beverages were provided and the trip had amazing views. Highly recommend!

The Crew the experience was awesome - The Aloha Vibes was there. All Crew memebers were top notch in entertainment and very nice and fun. They interacted with all the participants made us feel comfortable and enjoyable.
Activities was kool they had a VolleyBall Court, snorkling gears, kayak, Paddle board and if you wanted to get pulled by a yellow banana floater from a boat. Also, they had a barge you can go chill and sun bath. Had music playing and it was great.
Lunch was okay Ham/Turkey Sandwhich, drink and a bag of chips.
There was no alcohol on board so make sure to bring your own.
Plus that day was so beautiful and very minimal wind - 80 degree....
Overall it was awesome and will do it over and over - Love it !!!!
Very happy with this experience. I went with my coworkers and my parents and both party’s enjoyed the sandbar. They had kayaking, paddle boarding, tubing and more which was a great to spend our afternoon. Highly recommend booking this for friends and family.
We had a wonderful time at Sand Bar. Everything was great; all the crew was very friendly and helpful. You will love it.
Family of 5 had a blast. Tour guides were awesome. Felt safe the entire time. We arrived to the sandbar to other guides with SUP, floaties and little floats for my 3 year old to snorkel which was a nice surprise. Would 100% recommend to anyone. Afterwards we enjoyed some Dole Whip at the pier.
Beautiful pictures. Thank you so much for sharing your photos with us. Can get any better weather than this! Mahalo!
Amazing crew with a beautiful setting and many activities ♥️
This was an AMAZING experience. The crew and the musicians were all super friendly. The sandbar itself was fantastic and absolutely gorgeous. The three primary activities: snorkeling, paddleboarding, and kayaking were all very enjoyable. There was ample time to try out and enjoy each activity at our leisure. During kayaking, we even got to see a sea turtle gliding along the sandbar! Overall, it was an incredible experience and I would definitely do it again.
We absolutely loved the crew. They were friendly, helpful, and seemed to genuinely enjoy their job. The singers were fantastic and entertaining. The Sandbar was gorgeous. There were so many fun things to do and explore once at the Sandbar. It was perfect for our entire family which included young kids, adults, and grandparents. Definitely recommend!
Perfect setting, Perfect location. Captain and crew were amazing. We saw tons of fish and sea turtles. highly recommend this tour... Abundance of activities after snorkeling. BYOB as well.
Mahalo for the compliments! We look forward to seeing you in the near future! Aloha...!
