Awesome Day!

Reviewed by: Marta, 2023/05/04

My family and I had a great time out at the Sandbar. We have never snorkeled or been on a paddle boat. The crew was super helpful and made us feel very comfortable that at the end of the day we were all pretty good on SUP boards. The live music was awesome. Would definitely recommended to family and friends.

Our family’s second Hawaii Trip back to back years and it’s so good we had to come back!!!!

Reviewed by: Calvin Perez Duenas, 2023/04/24

Whole crew are amazing and show such excellent hospitality and service! Always make us feel so comfortable with our whole experience! Music sets the vibes and when you get to the sandbar it’s breathtaking! Even on an overcast day like we had it’s so worth it! so I can say rain or shine you have you have to experience it. Shyla was amazing and runs a great group, it’s always a must when we visit Oahu. Thank you again for the amazing hospitality and we can’t wait to come back. Mahalo!!!

A wonderful experience

Reviewed by: Sharla, 2023/04/20

We had a big group of us go on this tour. It was seamless from the start. Check in was super easy, the boat ride was quick and so much fun!! The band was incredible!! And the donuts were yummy. When we got to the sandbar instructions were given and we got to go explore and have fun! My daughter actually got stung by a jellyfish while snorkelling and it could have ruined our excursion but the staff were excellent. Got her help immediately and were super attentive and caring to make sure she was doing ok. They even shared their own experiences with jellyfish. She got out in the water and had more fun before we had to head back to shore. Thank you for everything!! If we come back to Oahu we would definitely do another tour!!

My kids and I had a awesome time. The staff was really nice and made sure we enjoyed ourselves. The place is amazing. I highly recommend this outing. We enjoyed the banana boat ride and the bumper ride. The water was a bit chilly but we still enjoyed a lot.

Great views and lots to do.

Reviewed by: Jillian Godwin, 2023/04/11

I’m so glad we booked this excursion during our 2 day whirlwind tour of Oahu. We have a friend that’s on the island so we came over from vacationing on Maui to visit. Check in was super easy. The boat was clean and well kept and the crew was amazing. Loved the live music on the journey to and from the sandbar. Once we arrived, there was a little something for everyone. Paddleboarding, kayaking, hanging out on a floating platform or snorkeling! They even had inner-tubing and banana boat rides for an extra fee. The views of the island were stunning. Trip lasted roughly 3 hours so plenty of time to still explore the island after. Shout out to Preston and Jesse for all the aloha and good vibes. It was a super fun trip and we highly recommend to anyone visiting Oahu. It’s a really great excursion.

Fun times

Reviewed by: Norman family, 2023/04/10

Everything in the title and description is not only accurate, but does not disappoint! Festive and fun the whole time... beautiful setting with the smaller islands and mountains surroundings, standing a mile off shore in the middle of the bay. Nice touch having the floating lounge, and thoughtful idea providing fish treats for snorkeling(!) The music Jessie and crew played on board, and DJ-ed during activities was awesome--so much fun dancing with the fish! We only wish could have had more than one go of the banana boat and bumper tube. Worth doing more than once on a trip here, definetly--almost tried walking in backward when we were leaving

Enjoying the Journey

Reviewed by: Lyna M, 2023/04/09

My husband and I took our family to Hawaii for spring break. We always at the kids do something different. I thought they might be hesitant, but they tried The banana boat and the bumper boat and loved it, probably one of the most fun things they did on this trip. The only thing I would say I was disappointed about this excursion was that the description said they will provide soda or coke with lunch but we got lemonade instead. The bathroom on the boat also needs to be restocked before taking the next ride out. There were no soaps or hand sanitizer to use. Besides this, we had such a fun time.

Great trip to the sandbar

Reviewed by: Dawn, 2023/04/08

This trip was great and a great value for the price. The staff was amazing and everyone in our party had so much fun at the sandbar playing with all the water toys.

And the musicians were really good and we had fun singing along and dancing. I would definitely do this trip again and will recommend to everyone we know. Thanks for a great afternoon.

Family must!

Reviewed by: Doris, 2023/04/02

From the moment we were picked up near the hotel and dropped off at it, this was a class 1 experience. Everyone made sure we had a great experience. We were a party of 7 ranging from 81years old to 12. We all rode the banana boats, thrilling! One of us fell off (not the 81 y/o) and was retrieved. The float ride was thrilling our 12 y/o said. The water is clear, the fish ample and snorkels provided along with advice for best viewing. The musicians were outstanding, the fellow passengers getting in the groove and dancing. Whole experience a lifetime memory.

Best day ever!!

Reviewed by: Christina, 2023/04/01

Truly the best day ever! So much fun on this boat…fun and friendly crew, amazing musicians, tons of activities…couldn’t have asked for anything more! Super family friendly but also great for an adult day of fun. You can bring your own cooler with alcoholic beverages and your own food to ensure you have whatever you need on board. I only wish it had been longer!

EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME!

Reviewed by: Adachi and Osiris, 2023/03/25

The fact that I booked to just experience the sand bar is my small disclaimer, But the boat ride out to the sandbar including the friendly staff breakfast snacks and juice along with the live band / music and all the SUP, Kayaking Snorkeling and Lounging we could do is what made this an experience of a lifetime for me and my son! They provided all the above for a great rate plus you can add on other activities like the bumper boat ride etc. I highly recommend Veltra tours! You won't be disappointed!! Mahalo

Can't Miss Activity on Ohau!

Reviewed by: Esther B, 2023/02/21

My husband and I, with my 21 year old son, had so much fun on our recent trip to Kaneohe Bay Sandbar with Ocean Sports Adventure. The trip started with an easy check-in process. We left the pier at 9:30 and arrived at the sandbar in 15 minutes. During this time, the crew served donuts and drinks while two musicians played live music. They were really good and professional. When we arrived there, we snorkeled first. Lots of reef fish! Then we tried SUP for the first time. Since it was such a windy day, the crew made sure we didn't float away to the areas that we weren't supposed to be. The captain took some of us on his boat and went to a nearby reef where green sea turtles are. We saw 2 of them! I highly recommend this activity to anyone!
