Enjoyed the tour, was actually surprised by how tasty the bbq lunch was! I went in April so I’m not sure how this affects the visibility but it was difficult to see when snorkeling. Really enjoyed seeing the sea turtles and hanging out at the sand bar

We had a wonderful time and we enjoyed all the activities at the Kaneohe Sandbar. We did the paddle board, kayak and snorkel with breathtaking views. The live music was so relaxing during the boat ride. Thanks to the captain, crew and singers who were all so friendly and amazing! Overall, it was an excellent service provided by the Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports! I definitely will book again on my next trip and recommend them to my family and friends.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience kayaking to the sandbar! It was easy to follow the instructions and the map to get to our destination. It is quite tiring, but the view is breathtaking. We did start our kayaking adventure around 9am, so those that had an earlier reservation at 8am were already at the sandbar, so we were on the lookout for the bright yellow kayaks when making our way there, but I can definitely see some getting lost if they went early in the gloomy morning. Weather conditions do vary on how visible and shallow the sandbar is, but we were lucky to get to see the sandbar exposed!

Did the afternoon tour. Had a wonderful time! Ladies on our Blue boat was very personable and sweet! Made our trip out to the sandbar soooo relaxing and fun. Would definitely reccomend.
We're very pleased to hear you're having a great time at the sandbar.
Thank you so much for kind words and sharing your best experience with us with the Capt. Bruce tour.

I'm a local resident and this was my first time at the Kaneohe sandbar. This experience was amazing! I wanted to do something that my roommate & I haven't done for her birthday. I recommend getting the package to ride the banana boat & the bumper ride! Also it's BYOB, bring snacks, food, & change of clothes because they have restrooms/changing rooms on the boat. I will definitely will be booking again with my friends!!

The best experience on our whole trip, plan to go back. I found this activity from a YouTube review which depicted the activity perfectly. We upgraded to the Banana boat and bumper ride, which is just a quick few minutes ride each. There was so much to do and explore, the 3 hours went by too fast. The musicians on board was the perfect touch in creating a fun relaxed atmosphere, their music set the tone for the trip and was the fun that pumped us up to enjoy the whole trip. My elementary school kids enjoyed all the different activities. We brought our own food and drinks. We brought our own snorkel gear. We enjoyed the included refreshments. I invited my best friends family to join us and they felt the same. Will book again.

The boat and staff were very nice and the tour was good. However, if you are going to charge the prices you do, not can at least expect fresh pineapple and not canned. It is Hawaii. And the rest of the food was underwhelming.

This experience was worth it all! The crew was great and they took really good care of you! They pointed out the sea turtles and told us where to go so we can find them! They always made sure everyone was doing okay and if we needed anything, they would go out of their way to make sure we’re having a great time. We purchased their “special” drink and it was delicious. The boat itself is very clean as . The crew is very funny and will make your trip worth it. I can’t wait to book my next adventure with them.

Super fun quick snorkel. The crew and captain were awesome and funny. My kids loved as did I. Met a few “regulars” which I have never encountered on a snorkeling adventure in the past, which says a lot. I’ll make sure to leverage this on trips in the future. Namaste.

What an amazing experience we had swimming with turtles. Captain even took us out to see some whales before we hit turtle canyon. We had kids with us and it was perfect for them, wasn’t too long and they didn’t get bored. Crew was knowledgeable and very helpful. They had all the equipment on board and were even playing some tunes for us. 10/10 would do it again.

We loved our Excursion to The Sandbar. The transportation to the doc was prompt and fairly quick. The lunch was better than I was expecting and the boat was nice and roomy to walk around. The staff and the live music were great. We thoroughly enjoyed our day at The Sandbar I would definitely recommend this company. They also have a floating dock with chairs where you can sit and relax and look at the beautiful scenery around you which was really cool!
