The best time!
Reviewed by: Katy H, 2023/05/08We were pleasantly surprised to find this last minute on our trip! We drove from Waikiki, definitely need to arrive early for parking! It was easy to find. Staff was very fun and knowledgeable, live music was great, even the lunch was simple but fresh and delicious! You can bring whatever you need on the boat and have access to it at all times. Location is beautiful. We unfortunately had a very windy day which made water choppy and chilly for me but still a very great experience! Many beautiful fish and my boyfriend was lucky enough to get close to a sea turtle! Highly recommend booking this activity! They even have a lifeguard in the water, good for all ages!
We appreciated your time for this review, kind words for our crew, and so happy to know that you enjoyed the Sandbar. Mahalo! - Team KBOS

Awesome Day!
Reviewed by: Marta, 2023/05/04My 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, 2023/04/24Whole 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!!!

Great views and lots to do.
Reviewed by: Jillian Godwin, 2023/04/11I’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.
We appreciated your time for this review, kind words for our crew, and so happy to know that you had fun. Mahalo! - Team KBOS

Fun times
Reviewed by: Norman family, 2023/04/10Everything 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
We are very happy that you enjoyed our tour. Hope you will join us again. Mahalo! - Team KBOS

Enjoying the Journey
Reviewed by: Lyna M, 2023/04/09My 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.
We appreciated your time for this review and sorry to hear that you had a disappointing about drink and bathroom. Your feedback has been shared with our crew. Mahalo! - Team KBOS

EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME!
Reviewed by: Adachi and Osiris, 2023/03/25The 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

If you’re thinking about it, just book it!
Reviewed by: Sylvia M., 2023/01/28We 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.

Absolutely recommended for first timers to Kaneohe
Reviewed by: Isaac, 2023/01/23Great 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.

Great afternoon excursion
Reviewed by: Romesh , 2023/01/15Staff were excellent and I would highly recommend that lunch excursion. We upgraded for the banana boat ride for our granddaughters when checking in. We were offered to ride in the boat so that we could get videos of the girls on the ride.
Water was shallow and bit difficult to snorkel.
Parking is at a premium and I had to wait in the lot until someone pulled out.

Amazing Crew and Family Fun
Reviewed by: Jack, 2023/01/03The crew is so friendly and willing to work with everyone on the boat. Go out of their way to make you feel comfortable on the water and experience all of the activities they have to offer.
Beautiful scenery all around you and being on the sandbar was so cool. The tube and banana boat rides were a blast and the jet boat operator is a stand up dude

Sand Bar
Reviewed by: Estela Garcia, 2022/11/19This activity was so much fun and absolutely worth it. Purchasing was easy, directions and parking was super easy. We drove our own car from air b&b in Waikiki. Little store in parking area for last minute drink/snack purchases. We brought our own floaters. The ride to sand bar on boat was nice and smooth with live music! The time on sandbar was amazing. The views all around were so so pretty! The kayak/paddle boarding was so much fun! Def bring your own drinks and snacks. Would definitely repeat!
