Kaneohe Bay Sandbar Ocean Sports Adventure with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Music
Awesome tour with friendly staff
Reviewed by: YvonneC
We booked the tour because we know sandbar might be suitable for kids' water activity. While checking-in and boarding, we had such great and warm welcome by the staff. As we got to sandbar, the view was amazing! Since we have two seniors with us, the staff helped them get on the kayaks and walked them to see around. We really appreciated them doing so.
We also saw sea turtles while snorkeling, which was quite an unforgettable experience. We also did SUP, kayak and my kids were having a really great time! The staff would also constantly remind us not going too far due to possible danger. Staff are super nice and friendly.I recommend families with young kids or seniors this tour. It did leave us good memories in this trip.

Kaneohe Bay Kayak & Snorkel Self-Guided Tour [Tour Not Available]
Fun time - nice staff!
Reviewed by: From AK
The staff was super nice and the equipment in good shape. They provided a waterproof map and told us the best spots to snorkel and maybe see turtles. We saw turtles and lots of fish! One note; When I booked the Yak Pack tour I was told it was thirty minutes to the sandbar. When I got there I learned it was actually more like 45 minutes. So that would take a good bit of our four hours. We wanted to snorkel too so we kayaked and snorkeled and didn’t make it to the sandbar which was just fine. Loved it. Brought snacks and drinks. Had a picnic on the kayak.

Kaneohe Bay Sandbar Ocean Sports Adventure with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Music
The most amazing experience yet!
Reviewed by: Jen
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!

E Sea Diver 5-in-1 Fun Cruise - Snorkel, Water Slide, Trampoline, Kayaks & SUP
Value-packed 1/2 day trip
Reviewed by: Yes to Hawaii
If you're looking for a nice, quiet morning...this isn't it. BUT, if you're looking for a fun day on on the water with lots to do, this would be a fun choice for you. You get a lot of value: stand-up paddle boards, water trampoline, snorkeling, kayaks, etc. I liked that it was only a 1/2 day activity. We did the morning since the water is calmer and still had our whole day ahead of us after.

Molokini Crater & Turtle Arches Snorkeling Tour & Snuba Dive - Aqua Adventures
Great experience, sighted lot of whales on the way, felt one of the staff member little racist attitude
Reviewed by: anonymous
Overall, great experience with snorkeling tour. I would have given 5-starts other than the two issues, 1 - One of the staff was little rude (white blonde seemed little racist attitude), however everyone else on the staff was super nice, 2 - the second issue, snorkeling place was little muggy water and it was little hard to sight any turtles, even though I saw one but my family couldn't see any. However, we sighted bunch of whales on the way, with couple of them very close to our boat (little scary for few seconds) which was awesome.

Overall ok
Reviewed by: anonymous
I think overall I had great time with parasailing, the view from top was awesome. We had two issues, first issue, we were the last family to do parasailing and they cut short our time in the air <6 minutes, (yes I timed ours, compared to first family) so they did not manage time well even though they advertised 8 mins from start to finish. second issue, photos we bought from them did not open on my computer and when I tried on another computer there were no photos at all, just wasted my money :-(. Next time, I would choose different parasailing vendor for sure.

Kayak Kauai Hanalei River & Blue Lagoon Kayak & Snorkel Adventure
Great kayaking tour, not-so-great snorkeling tour
Reviewed by: Jams
Kayaking the Hanalei River was magestic! The tour guides were fun and interesting and knowledgable! When we got to the snorkeling place, it seemed like it would be good - lots of reef, but then it was not as good as it seemed. I think the reef was too high in the sense that you could only snorkel around the coral, not above it as I'm used to, so if you don't find the "channel" (there are several false leads/dead-ends) then you may get stuck on top of the coral which means you may have to step on it, which you're not supposed to do! This is particularly challenging with children. The gear was all one-size-fits-no-one really well. I thought there would be children's sized gear so we didn't bother bringing the cheap children's gear that we purchased earlier in the week - I thought the tour would have better gear. All-in-all, we barely snorkeled! But otherwise, the tour was lovely!
Aloha Jams, Thanks for your nice, informative and fair review. Glad the guides, panorama, setting that is Hanalei made up for the disappointing snorkeling. At times depending on weather snorkeling, once in a while can be a “hit or miss”. Glad the guides were stil able to fun you. With small children we encourage folks to bring those cheap snorkeling gear that you mentioned. Stay well and thanks again for taking the time to share.
A hui hou,
Micco

This was the perfect way to experience multiple activities in one afternoon for a great price. The crew was outstanding & make you feel so welcome from the time you get picked up for the trip until it is time to get off of the boat!! The musicians added so much to the experience. You could tell that they absolutely love what they do. While out in the water my husband requested a song to be played.....it is what we walked down the aisle too at our wedding! The crew played the song & my husband & I danced in the water ❤

A great time on Kaneohe Bay
Reviewed by: L.S. Yamaneko
My friend and I had one of the best days on Oahu during this tour. From pick-up to drop-off, and everything in between, it was the perfect morning on the water.
After getting picked up in Waikiki, it was a quick drive to Kaneohe Bay, and a KBOS employee was there to meet us once the bus arrived. We got checked in and headed on-board, and it was non-stop fun from there.
The live musicians are EXCELLENT. Like, better than anything you will hear on the radio, and they also do double duty as lifeguards once you are in the water. We went snorkeling, stand-up paddling, and just chilled in the water since it was so calm and clear.
We brought our own food to the tour, but the donuts and hot tea were appreciated.
Definitely a repeat visit on my next trip to Hawaii!!!

Please do not go there in Dec. The day we went, it was very windy and cloudy. Under the water in that area, you can see nothing except corals. There may be a few small fishes. That’s all. Moreover, the organizer did not provide fippers and there are many corals, , so there was no way to stand up. My friend had many wounds.
