Sandbar cruise

Reviewed by: Liliana, 2022/04/04

Amazing amazing amazing, definitely a must do in Oahu. The area where they take you for the activities is not to deep which makes it easy to enjoy all the different things they have to do. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The music on the boat was wonderful. Snorkeling was definitely the highlight for me.

First Sandbar experience

Reviewed by: NSF , 2022/03/19

The crew was so welcoming and sweet! I’ve been to Hawaii almost 10 times but this was my first time at the Sandbar. It is really nice if you also just want to enjoy the water and beautiful weather. The activities are a bonus. I lost my earring and they literally snorkeled for about 20 min and actually found it. Super cool people :) I will definitely be back, hopefully next time w family and friends.

Perfect day

Reviewed by: Mimi , 2022/03/19

I had such a great time, got some good drinks with us and awesome entertainment with the live music covers. Lovely staff and extremely helpful.
Definitely would recommend to bring extra mixers for whatever liquor you bring in a plastic bottle. They don't allow glass and the only drink options are water and orange tang. Outside of that i had an amazing time and met some pretty nice folks.

A must for any vacation

Reviewed by: Eezy, 2022/03/15

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!

Kaneohe Sandbar on Feb 11th 2022

Reviewed by: Slixx, 2022/03/05

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 !!!!

Good fun and even better hospitality

Reviewed by: Gupta’s -New Jersey, 2022/02/14

You may find a lot of tour to the sandbar but none compares to these guys. They are fun, customer-oriented, careful and outgoing, all at the same time. You are taken care of right from the moment you checkin with them at the harbour till they drop you back. They have plenty of lifeguards, people helping you in the water, teaching you kayaking/paddle boating/snorkelling/banana boating etc.
BONUS: great donuts and live music. A MUST DO IN OAHU.

Had such a great time. Staffs were all friendly and made it safe. Staffs made sure nobody venture too far or away from sandbar. I felt safe for a non swimmer doing the water activities. Music was great as well.

Sandbar Excursion

Reviewed by: Brianna B, 2022/02/11

My boyfriend and I did this excursion on a Thursday morning. There were less than 10 people on the excursion. It was very intimate and all of the staff were outstanding. We snorkeled, canoed, stand up paddle boarded, and soaked up the sun. It was a great experience and the highlight of our trip. The sandbar was stunning and we also saw a turtle while snorkeling.

Once is not enough

Reviewed by: Chil, 2022/02/06

This was the highlight of our brief stay in Hawaii. My only regret is not having done this sooner. And after having experienced it, I can’t wait to do it again when I come back to Oahu. I love snorkeling, but two of the things that I was apprehensive about were deep waters and catamaran rides because I sometimes get motion sickness. But the catamaran ride and the live music were so smooth, I enjoyed the ride. The singers had amazing voices, and their island songs put everyone in a relaxed mood. The crew were very informative and helpful, even the most novice person felt at ease. We swam in deep waters, but I felt safe because a crew member was always nearby and kept a close eye on everyone. I didn’t get to see more that one giant turtle who was luckily resting at the time; otherwise, I probably wouldn’t have seen any. But I still had a great time seeing fishes, paddle boarding, kayaking, and just relaxing in the calm waters. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Key Vacation Adventure!

Reviewed by: Rae, 2022/01/29

My partner and I wanted to get out into the water this vacation and this experience was an absolute trip maker! From the music to the free donuts! We had a wonderful time! We didn’t expect there to be so many fun activities for us to do. We kayaked, paddle boarded and snorkeled and saw turtles and fish! We also paid for a bumper ride with the boat which was EXTREMELY exhilarating! Overall, we would love to come back. The experience was the key part of our trip! Mahalo!

AWESOME PLACE!! GOT TO ATTEND!!

Reviewed by: Rodney Angel Rozier , 2022/01/29

We are from South Carolina and going on this Adventure was the most outstanding thing we done in the week we were here. They will truly treat you like family from the first minute they meet you. Great live music and awesome personalities!! Jessie, one of the singers, should have played in the NFL but will make it big in the music industry without a doubt. Felt like I've known him and all if the crew all my life. Whatever you do, dont tell Shyla she can't throw you off the tube because SHE WILL!! It was AWESOME!! From the Captains to the Crew you will feel like FAMILY from the first time you speak with them. If all you do is that, the trip is worth it!!
Thanks Jessie, Shyla and the entire Crew for an AMAZING time!!

5 stars, highly recommended!

Reviewed by: MackE, 2022/01/28

As someone who is terrified of being in the ocean, I had a great time in this cruise. The boat was clean, live music entertainment was great, and the staff was friendly, making the experience very enjoyable. We stayed in Waikiki and did not rent a car but they do offer a round trip ride for an extra charge(worth it!)

This cruise had two options with cruise times and we decided to do the morning one(9am-1pm), which I highly suggest because you can enjoy all the activities without being under the very hot sun for too long. This cruise included free donuts and beverages and use of stand up paddle boards, kayaks, and snorkeling gear. We got lucky that the cruise we booked was not fully booked so everyone on board were able to use the water equipment without having to wait. Another big, big plus is that the captain of the boat takes amazing pictures for you while you enjoy yourself in the water! Overall, I enjoyed this experience and highly recommend it if you are looking for a vacation activity!

The most amazing experience yet!

Reviewed by: Jen, 2022/01/17

My husband and I have been to Oahu three times and I can’t believe we only did this now! We literally booked the excursion the day before and it was hands down, the best experience we’ve had in all the times we’ve ever been here. It was worth every single penny. The fact that they include so many water activities from SUP to kayaking, snorkeling, and even a lounge in the water was amazing. We paid extra for the banana boat while we were there and so glad we did, so don’t feel like you have to pre-book it before going there.

On top of that, the staff are so friendly and accommodating. The live music on the way to the sandbar and back was so beautiful. They help guide you if you’ve never done any water sports before, which we never have. Some even offered to take our photos and videos. The staff were honestly just such genuine and lovely people.

One donut per guest and water/juice was provided, so good to bring your own snacks if you want. Though we didn’t even get to eat our snacks because we had so much fun and wanted to soak in every moment.

The sandbar wasn’t exposed when we went, but it was like being in a swimming pool in the middle of the ocean. It was incredible. Life jackets and snorkeling gear were also provided, so you just need to worry about bringing towels. They have washrooms and changing rooms on the boat and can leave your items there while in the water.

We really enjoyed our time and will definitely do this again when we come back! The best part is, it’s a locally owned business. Do not hesitate to book now, you won’t regret it!
