Great experience with kiddies
Reviewed by: Mari, 2023/07/04We 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!

Family with 2 young kids 4,6 had a great time.
Reviewed by: Miya , 2023/07/01Great for all ages! My kids said it was the best day ever. They’re 4 & 6. Was able to kayak, SUP and snorkel. Also chilled inside the boat with live music. Everyone was so friendly and helpful showing their Aloha. Would recommend to anyone going to Oahu. Totally worth the price!

Awesome service!
Reviewed by: Reina Zavala, 2023/06/30I loved the sandbar! The service was outstanding!!! from the guy with the flower in his hat going over the rules and dancing. To the lifeguard that helped us attract fish while snorkeling. Most importantly, I am very happy with the service that was provided by the guy with the sun screen across with nose that gave us kayak and prattle boarding lessons. They all made me and my family comfortable and super welcomed!

Great service, music and things to do
Reviewed by: LacrishaH, 2023/06/29The experience was great. The crew and the live music were great. We love all of the availability of the water sports- paddle boats, kayaks, snorkeling, lounging on the barge. The lunch was served right away so we were on a full stomach and it gave a chance for any late strivers to come on board.

Beautiful experience ! Perfect for Families!
Reviewed by: Kt Simp, 2023/06/29Overall just a beautiful experience. The crew was super friendly, and super helpful with first time paddle boarders, snorkeling, and Kayak-ing people .

My kids are teenagers and they Also had a blast with all the activities ! This Trip was perfect for the entire family.. you won’t regret it.

Cold and poor visibility
Reviewed by: Jimmy, 2023/06/24It was cold - the boat ride and the water condition once we arrived. The visibility of the water was very poor. We didn't see any fish. It was just an unpleasant experience. We did this tour with another company many years ago and it was very nice. I understand weather conditions are outside the tour company's control but they can warn customers when they know it's bad and provide options to cancel the tour.
Mahalo for joining our tour and sharing your review. We're sorry to hear that the weather was not great and you had a disappointing experience snorkeling on the day of your tour. We hope your Hawaii vacation will still be a memory to remember to make you want to come back and visit us again.

This was perfect
Reviewed by: Cevo, 2023/06/24This was a great day after wedding activity. We made this an optional activity for our friends and family the day after our wedding ceremony. The live music and stories on board were even better than we expected and they knew and played our first dance song! the views and experience are really special. 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!

Very enjoyable and unique experience
Reviewed by: Michelle, 2023/06/16The sandbar activity was a very enjoyable and unique experience. The boat ride over is short (15 min.) with great music and a decent sandwich lunch. We did the SUP and snorkeled. Lots of fish to see. Plenty of time to do all the activities. The tide was high, about 4 feet but still so much fun. Made it better for snorkeling. Staff was so friendly and helpful.

Fantastic Trip Out for Friends and Families
Reviewed by: Kyle L., 2023/06/16This experience is definitely worth it. The staff and crew are so lovely, fun, and energetic, they brighten up your day as you head out to the sandbar. Their experience and overall "good vibes" makes the trip so enjoyable as you get to experience an amazing time out in the sandbar with music, activities, food, and community. Do it!

KBOS was awesome!
Reviewed by: Christine, 2023/06/04The crew was wonderful! The musicians were amazing! If you don't have time to try different water activities on your trip, this is a great way to hit a lot of them. We were able to SUP, kayak, swim, lounge, and snorkel (the sandbar reef actually had quite a few different types of fish to see and since it is so shallow, it is a lot easier to snorkel here). They provide life jackets for all the activities and snorkel gear. We also did the banana boat and bumper activities and it was quite the adrenaline rush. For banana boat, they grouped us with two other pairs of people so we filled up the banana boat (holds 6 people), which made it more stable but half of us still fell off. It was very fun and quite an experience. There is definitely enough time to try everything. Their boat is pretty big so very stable and not likely to induce seasickness. They have two women's bathrooms, one men's, and one changing room. They provide donuts and water/juice but you can also bring your own food/drinks. There are plenty of tables and shelf storage underneath so your items aren't on the floor and won't get wet. Overall, a great time!

Great way to have fun with family and friends in Oahu!
Reviewed by: Kevin, 2023/06/02It was a very nice tour. It takes us out to the Kaneohe sandbar while providing live music entertainment. After arrival, we could choose to do a variety of activities including snorkelling, paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming or just relaxing at a floating lounge. You will be able to see coral reef and fish there. Staff is there to help and supervise. You can leave your belongings at the boat. The good thing about being in the middle of water is that your belongings are safe. I recommend wearing some kind of footwear on the sandbar because the sand there could be a little rough. Overall a very nice way to spend a morning or afternoon. Time flew by fast.

So much fun!
Reviewed by: Mike, 2023/05/27From the moment we boarded the boat, we were provided a delicious lunch and greeted with the friendly staff and hilarious emcee.
The live Hawaiian music created an ambience of enchantment. The live performances were sensational, perfectly capturing the spirit of the islands.
The variety of water activities was truly impressive. Snorkeling provided us a stunning glimpse into the vibrant marine life, while the sandbar volleyball turned out to be an unexpected delight. I was personally taken with standup paddle boarding (SUP) and kayaking - both were exhilarating experiences that offered different perspectives of the water.
Not to forget the floating lounge platform! It was the perfect place to unwind, enjoy our drinks and snacks, and simply soak in the beauty of the surroundings. Everything was wonderfully organized and the boat was equipped with all the necessary amenities.
In short, this activity was more than just a day out on the water; it was a vibrant blend of culture, excitement, and relaxation. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable Hawaiian adventure. Five stars are simply not enough!
