LOVED kayaking in the ocean instead of chartering a boat/catamaran out to the sandbar. Spent most of our time on the largest, and should of rowed over to where a guide had nicely dropped a pin for us, but due to time stopped at a closer one, and still got to see A LOT of different fish, SO COOL! and sea life while snorkeling, but no turtles. Great snorkel gear, no fins, but didn't need them. A waterproof cell case is advisable, a hardcase one altho more expensive would of been better, as the water's current pushed against the soft plastic and turned off the video while shooting. Another tip, I'm glad I got water sandals that strapped on, to walk on the sandbar. The water was warm and so clear, and the view of the Koolau Mountains are majestic.
If you have any questions, give em' a call, Andy was so helpful and gracious.
Kamaaina Kayak and Snorkel Eco-Venture IS THE ONE TO BOOK not only is He'eia State Park right at the bay's edge, where the crew helps you launch right into the water. Renting is a bargain and not-for-profit, proceeds help to fund the park, which is managed by Kama'aina Kids, a local childcare org that serves as stewards to the park.

That’s probably one of my favorite things we have done in Oahu. Crew was awesome. Even if you don’t know how to snorkel they will make sure you are safe & get to enjoy snorkeling. We loved hanging out at the sandbar paddle boarding and playing ball. Saw plenty of fish and got to swim next to multiple turtles. Great experience!
Aloha, thank you so much for your feedback.
We're happy to know you had great time in Kaneohe Sandbar tour.
Mahalo for the compliments. Please come back again. Mahalo!

Great 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.

30代夫婦2人で参加しました。
天候にも恵まれて、晴天のなかサンドバーに行くことができました。
想像以上に美しい海でしたし、シュノーケリングではウミガメに沢山出会うことができて感動しました。
私たちの回はスタッフに日本語を喋れる方も同乗されていたので、毎回ではないかもしれないので問い合わせした方が良いかもしれませんが言語に不安がある方も安心ではないかと思います。
ちゃんと人数確認してから船をだしたり、お菓子や飲み物も沢山用意されていたり、遊ぶ道具も色々選択肢があり充実し、また安心できるツアーでした。

Kaneohe ocean sports at the sandbar was amazing! We started with either glazed or chocolate donuts with lemonade. When we got to the sandbar they had a variety of activities including kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, volleyball and snorkeling. We loved the snorkeling! They took us to an area of the sandbar that was still shallow enough to stand but had plenty of coral to swim around and explore. Staff was friendly and constantly kept watch over the participants, making this a safe and enjoyable environment. Overall would definitely recommend especially for families

Staff 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.

We were blessed with great weather and had a great time. Our guide, Yuki-san, was happy and energetic, and we really enjoyed the experience at the sandbar. It was the first snorkeling experience for the children, and they seemed nervous, but they were able to try it even in places where they couldn't get their feet on, and they were able to see the fish with their own eyes! The hamburger we ate on board was also exceptional. We had a really valuable experience. thank you very much!

度付きの水中ゴーグルもありみんなで参加出来たので嬉しかったです!
シュノーケルの後にSUPも出来て本当に大満足なツアーでした☆

予約時は希望の午前中ツアーがいっぱいだったので午後のツアーに参加しました。予約時に宿泊先を入力すると、最寄りのピックアップ場所を指定してもらいました。
ツアーでは乗船後に日本語ができるスタッフさんにもご対応いただきました。シュノーケリングではウミガメを間近で見ることができ、日常ではなかなか体験できない思い出ができました。シュノーケリング後は各々自由なアクティビティを楽しみ、ツアーは終了しました。
持参してよかったのはやはりスマホ防水ケース。日本で100均で買ったものでしたが、まぁまぁの使い勝手でした。シュノーケリング時に水中での操作は難しかったので、もう少し性能がいいものだと満足かも?
あとはバスタオル。ホテルで複数枚借りれれば持って行った方がよいです。海から上がれば体は冷えますし、拭く用と体に羽織る用があればGoodです!

サンドバーも到着時には干潮から満潮の間くらいだったはずだがすでに潮位が上がっており、陸地にはなっておらず残念。
ただウミガメやマンタには会えました。
あとシュノーケリングは結構タフで子供をケアしながらの実施はかなり疲れました。
