We really enjoyed the excursion; it was well organized and very user friendly excursion. The crew was excellent; kept everything going smoothly with the lunch, snorkeling and paddle boards. The guys hosting and playing music (Jesse) were super friendly and spent a lot of time talking with and hanging out with the guest; they offered tons of helpful information on other island activities.

We had novice snorkelers and they had a blast!
The trip was exactly what was posted on website!
The sandbar volleyball was so fun and I floated on my noodle and drank my beverage! Lunch was delicious! Snorkeling was made so easy for everyone and my family LOVED it! I was the non-swimmer and between Mike and Sasha, they got me out there and I enjoyed it!
Needless to say the crew was awesome!
A MUST DO FOR ANYONE VISITING OAHU

Smooth check-in, friendly staff. Boat seating was good, not stuffed lime sardines. Donuts, water and Tang all complimentary.
Their musicians are top notch beyond all my expectations, simply amazing folks, voice, and guitar/ukulele skills. Sandbar is truly a unique experience and we did not feel rushed nor bored while there. Seriously, just book it. It is so worth it!

The underwater scooter adventure seemed like a great idea, particularly for my wife, who doesn't like snorkeling because of having the breathing tube in her mouth. This diving-bell style system seemed like the perfect solution. It worked, but there were some major issues. Start with the boat, which is small and when moored to the dive area bobs like a cork in the ocean swells, creating motion issues. The scooter itself has air pumped in constantly, resulting in an ever-changing level of air pressure until the air is forced out. So, your ears are constantly clogging and unclogging like you are descending and ascending in a plane the whole time. You also have no control over where the scooter goes, since it is not really self-propelled. Each scooter is accompanied by a "dive master" who physically pushes you to where the master wants you to go, and who controls when you submerge and when you surface. The marine life is swell, with fish food provided to bring in the fish right up to your helmet. The helmet is also very noisy, with the compressed air machine running, making it unlike snorkeling, which is quiet and peaceful. Bobbing up and down in the current inside the diving bell also produces a lot of motion, so don't eat anything before taking the trip. The crew was nice, but did not provide much instruction about what would happen once under the bell. There are hand signals for the dive master, but you feel very much out of control during the dive. On balance, I would not do this again -- even if I had not gotten seasick.

This tour is a must do! The organization was plain up perfect, easy pick up and check in! On board you get greeted by the different crew members, get introduced to the boat and the band starts playing wonderful music! The crew did an amazing job making everyone feel grateful. The lifeguards at the different events (Paddle boarding, kayaking, snorkeling) all were very friendly and fun to talk to, but yet still very professional. The snorkeling is amesome with a great reef to see some fishes! The donuts were also very good!
A must do when on Oahu

Our group of 9 loved this excursion! so many things to do during this boating trip which is perfect for bigger groups. They have all of the equipments for you!
We didn't get the food package but you can bring your own food on the boat, plus it's only a couple of hours.
- Snorkeling: the sandbar was perfect for snorkeling because of the calm ocean, be careful of the jellyfishes that float in the water
- Kayaking: Also super fun!! my group had a race with eachother! would do it again!
All of the boating staff were super friendly, loved the experience and would recommended it to big groups!

We went to the bomb hole at the sand dunes to see the amazing reef. No need to do much else on our four hour trip. While there we saw two turtles dancing, before they disappeared in the deep hole.

This was a really awesome, unique experience. I would recommend kayaking with someone rather than alone especially if you're completely out of shape like I am as I was super sore after but let me tell you that it was COMPLETELY worth it. I did see one turtle and I wasn't even really looking! It took me like 45 minutes to get to the sandbar because I stopped a few times to take it all in. I had trouble getting back on my own because it started to get windy so I called the tour people and they came and picked me up without hesitation and were incredibly sweet about it. I'd come back with another person for sure or when I'm more in shape haha!
Aloha Jonny! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure! And thank you for taking the time to leave such an awesome review for us. We really appreciate that, and certainly good feedback. I am very glad to hear it sounds like you had a great kayaking experience with us. While we certainly would never leave anybody out there, and I'm glad to hear our staff took good care of you, it is important to also point out that normally we do have to charge an additional fee if we have to send a boat out to come get anybody and bring them back unless there is some type of emergency. It sounds like we made an exception for you, which is awesome, but only since you mentioned it in your review I did want to clarify that for the sake of others. It's usually not a free ride back if folks go too far and then cannot make it back to us. But of course we will make sure everyone gets back safe! Hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!

今回初めての参加もあり、送迎ありで申し込み。
集合場所は事前に知らされていたのですが、私の勘違いで隣のABCストアと間違えてしまいました。なので事前にホテルフロントの日本語がわかる方等に確認をすると良いです。
マイクロバスの運転手も感じの良い方でした。(日本語は通じません。)
サンドバーの受付では名前と人数を言ったらすんなり通過。
船では国籍毎に席をまとめられたので不安が軽減しました。日本人参加は計8人(内4人が私のグループ)
船長さんは少し日本語ができる方で、トイレの場所、船のルールを教えてくれます。たまたまポケモンGOを開いていたらフレンドになってくれました笑
沖までで出る間はハワイアンミュージックを聴きながらドーナツとドリンクをいただけます。歌はとても素敵で、ドーナツは大きいです!(チョコ、砂糖、アイシングの3種のコーティング)
サンドバーに着く前に救命胴衣の説明が英語であり、一部のアクティビティでは必ず切る必要があります。SUP、シュノーケリング、カヤック、バナナボートをやる方は必要です。
シュノーケルの装着方法等は日本語の説明がありました。魚用のパンをもらえるので沢山の魚が寄ってきてくれます。
SUPとカヤックをやりましたが、数に限りがあり誰かが終わるまで少し待ちます。他の参加者がいい人が多く「change?」って聞いてくれる人も沢山いました。
そして今回一番良かったのはホヌに出会えたことです。SUP中だったので海中では見ることができませんでしたが、海面に顔を出してくれました。
2時間ほど遊んだあとはホットドリンクを頂きホテルから持ってきたバスタオルで体を温め、またドーナツを頂きました笑
帰りの船の中もいい感じのハワイアンミュージックを聴きながらで、あっという間に終了。
船を降りたら船長さんが一緒に写真を撮ってくれました!
サービスも内容も大満足だったので少し多くチップを渡しちゃいました。
持っていってよかったもの
浮き輪(ポンプ付き)
海中で取れるカメラとスマホケース
バスタオル
ラッシュガード
注意事項
サンゴで足を怪我しやすい
シュノーケルに慣れていないと呼吸が少し難しい
日焼け
潮が満ちてくると胸の位置まで海水(午前プランおすすめ)

I've done alot of activities in oahu including parasailing, snorkeling, and more, but this one was the most worth it. Not only did the 4 hour excursion feel like it was over too soon, but the captain and crew felt like family. They were so informative with what we were doing and also joined us in playing in the sandbars. Lastly, my cousin has never swam let alone in the ocean and was finally able to go out and snorkel! What a epic time!

I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone looking for some good fun, good food, and good company. All of us customers had a great time playing water volleyball with each other in the Sandbar! If you’ve been thinking about doing this, just do it, it’ll be such a fun experience to include in your Hawai’i trip!
