This was an awesome experience! My husband and I were on our honeymoon and first time snorkelers. The crew was very informative and helpful. They were fun and clearly enjoyed their jobs! We were able to see so many turtles up close as well as hold a sea urchin! This has definitely sparked our want to go scuba diving now!

We had a blast! This was the first activity we did during our trip and it did not disappoint! They served donuts, played live music, and had plenty of activities to do. Our favorite experience was the snorkeling! The reefs were so healthy and we saw lots of fish! It's BYOB and there is a store to purchase drinks and snacks before you board. Everyone was super nice and we made friends along the way! Great way to start our trip!

Totally awesome experience and had a ton of fun on the water. Went for the banana boat and bumper ride upgrade. Great and friendly crew! Definitely good to be aware of the tide tho. Unfortunately none of the sandbar was above the water while we were there due to high tide. Was a great experience nonetheless!

シュノーケリングはサンゴでちょっとスネをぶつけて、擦りむいて痛かったけど、カヤックやサップは面白かったです。スタッフの方が親切でフレンドリー。1番はサップをしていた時に亀がいるよ〜。と言ってすぐ近くまで一緒に行ってくれた事。初めて泳いでいる亀さんをすぐ近くで見ることが出来て感動しました。ありがとうございましたhideo&midori

ドライバーのTomoさんがめちゃくちゃフレンドリーでローカルの情報もいろいろ教えてくれました。
Kailuaショップのみなさんもとてもフレンドリーでした
下の娘が9歳のため、自転車をレンタルすることができませんでしたが、わざわざ小さい浮き輪を膨らませてくれて1日中ビーチで楽しめました
ボディーボードも楽しかったです!
ランチは子供たちがピザ、わたしはバーベキューをオーダーしましたがどちらもとてもおいしかったです!
また次回も是非こちらでお願いしたいです

We had the most amazing experience! The crew was wonderful. Made us feel like Ohana. Kept us safe and let us do our thang. We rode the banana boat and asked the captain to flip us! So much fun. We rode the bumper tube as well, SCARY at first but so much fun. Snorkeled with my 10yr and non swimming boyfriend lol We did great! The lunch sandwich they provided was much needed! We will come back to sandbar EVERY time we visit Oahu. Mahalo!

The sandbar snorkel cruise was a last minute decision and we're so glad we did it! We had a small group so we were able to snorkel out and see some turtles and coral reef! Such an amazing sight! The crew and musicians were very friendly and this added to the overall experience. Highly recommended!!

The ride to Sandbar is very smooth, no waves, no worries on emotion sickness. My 6yr old especially enjoyed the Banana Boat and Bumper Tube rides. Highly recommend. The staff was very nice. They even helped us babysit our 2yr old while the rest of family were on the boat and tube rides. :D
The Snorkel was OK. Not many fishes though. If you are planning your trip primarily for the snorkel, it is likely better to find a snorkel specific place.

Highly recommend this package!
- our boat captain, Cary, shared many interesting facts about all the islands while we were on our way to our snorkeling sites.
- he has great sense of humor and I enjoyed his choice of background music during the trip.
- I was blown away by the number of spinner dolphins and sea turtles we saw!
- Allison, one of the crew, was so friendly and helpful.
- Highly recommend.
Thanks again, Cary!
Thank you Maureen for the great review! We are so glad that you enjoyed your Lanai Dolphin Adventure! Mahalo!!

還暦を過ぎた夫婦で初めての参加になります。船の中ではハワイアンソングを聴きながら和気あいあいでスタッフの方も英語が話せない私達に片言の日本語でとても親切に接してくれました。(英語ダメでもOK)飲み物やドーナツが有り柔らかくて美味しかったです。お目当てはSUPです!海の中に居るスタッフさんの説明でSUP開始です。恐々乗ってると時期に慣れて気持ち良く乗る事が出来ました。カヤックをやったりシュノーケリングをやったりと充実した時期を楽しく過ごせました。
時間になり帰りの船の中でも弾き語りで皆さん大盛り上がりでとても楽しかったです!
次回はお孫ちゃん達を連れて来たいと思います。
お世話になりました

What an amazing adventure! The crew was so nice! The boat ride was amazing and the snorkeling was just out of this world! Best day of my entire trip.
The barbecue was perfect. And playing volleyball in the middle of the ocean was just unreal! Thanks again for the memorable experience

ずっと行きたかったサンドバーのツアーに、大学生の友達4人で参加しました。日本人のガイドさんがいたので、特に困ることもなく、楽しく過ごせました。サンドバーでもシュノーケリングでも、写真をたくさん撮って満喫するだけの時間は十分ありましたし、船の上からウミガメもたくさん見れました!とてもおすすめのツアーです!

サンドバーは
もう少し干潮が良かった感じです。
海は前の日に雨が降ったせいか
若干透明度が良くなかったです。
その中でもウミガメに出会えた事は
良かったと思います。

First of all the bus that picked us up was old and need some works done. A 45 minute drive turned into a 11/2 hour drive. We picked the sand bar as my husband and I both can’t swim. I was pleased that we got to do some snorkeling together. We did see some turtles as well.
Then it was the deeper sea snorkeling. I was so afraid of the deep sea. So we ended up waiting in the boat for over an hour.
There are actually a few coaches on the boat. If they would Guide us through that would be a lot easier.
We just felt left out from the whole group.
Advice,

This was one of the most popular outings suggested when we researched our trip to Oahu. The online description was completely accurate and the booking was easy. The company communicated very clearly via email and text with great instructions to prepare us for a fun day. Once on the boat we were able to completely relax and enjoy ourselves! The live music was amazing, the crew was friendly and fun, and the whole experience was coordinated and organized very well! There was plenty of time on the sand bar and plenty of equipment for our family of 6 to do everything we wanted to do. I would completely recommend this outing and I would do it again!

I’m not sure if my expectations were too high or what but it wasn’t what I was expecting. I still had a good time and we did see one turtle. The crew was great so no complaints there. As far as the beer and cocktails go….they offer them to you about 10 minutes before you get off the boat so you have time for about one lol!! The day we went there really wasn’t even hardly any fish to see. Plus there were so many other boats in the same exact place it just felt crowded.

The trip was awesome. The whole crew was amazing and very friendly and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend. Also got to see to some turtles at turtle cove and some beautiful fish. After the trip they also have complimentary drinks after you snorkel. I would post pictures that the photographer took, but we haven’t seen them yet.

This was probably the highlight of my week in Maui. The staff good, just not great. One of them seem more interested the women vs everyone. The experience was all that I expected. One negative is the deluxe lunch is burgers and chips. Hardly what I would call deluxe. So keep that in mind if you go.
Thank you for joining us! We provide a hot BBQ lunch of not only hamburgers, but also chicken breasts, hot dogs, vegan burgers, chips and fixings on the side. Most companies provide a deli sandwich, but we like providing a hot and fresh hearty option to our guests after snorkeling.
Mahalo!

Sehr schöne Tour, Moana Team nett, kompetent, freundlich. Man sieht viele Schildkröten. Aber, der Spot vor Waikiki ist overcrowded, viele Auslugsboote kommen dorthin, mit ebenso vielen anderen Schnorchlern. Leider sind nicht alle rücksichtvoll und halten sich an die Regeln (dont touch the turtles, keep distance). Wenn das so weitergeht kann man drauf warten, dass der Spot zum Schutz der turtles geschlossen werden wird :-(

My two friends and I had an amazing time. The crew was amazing, friendly, informative, interactive, talked a lot with the participants, very engaging and informative about the wildlife. We’ll do it again for sure! Time flew, it was over before we knew it! ... snorkeling was great, paddle boarding exceptional, and just relaxing on the giant blue floating mat was the best! Will definitely do again!
Aloha, thank you so much for your feedback.
We're happy to know you had great time and enjoyed paddle boat in Kaneohe Sandbar tour.
Our Staff are working so hard to exceed customer satisfaction.
Mahalo for the compliments. Please come back again. Mahalo!

Overall worth it, the only thing is that the snorkeling site was nothing exciting and you could barely see turtles or any fish. The best part was the volleyball match.

This was a fun time. Well organized and lots of information on sharks. Saw 4 or 5 varieties including 4 tiger sharks within 5 feet of us.
Aloha Amanda,
Mahalo nui loa for the kind review! We are so happy you got to see multiple species and got to see some Tiger Sharks up close :)

We recognize that no one can control the weather, the tides, or the water depth on any given day but the company could note on their website that the water level has been so high lately that it's rare that the sandbar is visible. Having pictures on the website that show the sandbar above water is very misleading without any asterisks as to weather conditions, water depths, or tides.
The afternoon we went in mid October 2022, the water over the sandbar was about 4-5' deep. It wasn't until we talked with one of the crew who said the sandbar has only been visible about two days this whole summer. Had we known that, we wouldn't have booked but of course, that's exactly why they don't post anything about the rising ocean on the website because they'd lose money. So instead, they let people think they'll get the experience like the photos show which is pretty misleading and close to false advertising.
Unfortunately, we also got a cloudy afternoon with intermittent rain and pretty choppy water so weren't able to try the standup paddle boards or kayaks.
The two-guy band on the boat was good. They played 3 songs on the short boat ride out to the sandbar and then a couple on the way back. They didn't play during the time at the sandbar.
The turkey croissant lunch was good.
The floating suntanning platform near the sandbar was unusable. It had built-in chairs but if you wanted your towel, you had to hold it above your head to keep it dry and swim, tread, or walk in 4' water from the boat to the platform. It would have been helpful if a crew member took towels, etc. over to the platform on a paddle board or something so they'd be dry.
If you have kids or you're a short adult who doesn't want to have to tread water or wear a life vest for the 3+ hours in the water over the sandbar, this isn't the excursion for you. We had a better sandbar off the beach at the Outrigger hotel in Waikiki. Also, the water on Oahu's north shore isn't as clear as in Waikiki.
