As everyone else, we wanted to snorkel at Hanauma Bay during our trip to Hawaii. However, the tickets sell within 1 minute and by the time you go to pay, there are no tickets left!!!
So I started looking for other snorkeling locations and discovered this package at Kaneohe sand bar. It had great reviews and they were all true.
The boat was absolutely clean, then crew was amicable and extremely courteous, and the musicians were phenomenal. Really. It was sawesome. Once you hit the sand bar, we went snorkeling, then kayaking and paddle boarding.
The most significant moment was when we were talking to Kai-ia, a very friendly employee that told us the secrets of the locals, and made our experience even richer.
We will definitely book this again in our next trip to Hawaii.
And you should do it too!!!

Our family of 4 thoroughly enjoyed our time. We snorkeled and paddle boarded and just relaxed on the floating lounge. The live music was fantastic. The entire staff was super friendly and helpful. The lunch was delicious and fresh and the constant flow of water and lemonade nice addition. I would definitely do it again.

11月サンクスギビングは風と波があって、とても寒かった!
でも船は揺れないし、スタッフのサービスも満点。

It’s cool and all, just not much to do out there. Basically paying to swim 10 minutes off the beach. Not worth the money.

Our time at sand bar was amazing, it started with the crew and the musicians.
they made us comfortable and answered all our questions.
We had booked the banana boat and bumper package and it was exhilarating.
Looking forward to our next trip so we can book another tour.

ハワイに通い続けて二十数年、一度くらいサンドバーに行っておこうと思い参加しました。
11月のこの時季、砂州は全く見えません。(正しくは、船から見て浅いか深いかの色の違い程度)
水位は私の身長162cmだと首くらいまであります。
足首程度の浅い時期は夏だそうです。
また、多少天気(雲多め)のせいもありましたが、風も強くてとにかく寒く楽しむって感じではありませんでした。
※送迎の車内は冷蔵庫レベルなので、上着が必須です。
シュノーケリングもごく普通...ウミガメなんて話にも出てきません。
ハナウマ湾でシュノーケリングする方が、圧倒的におすすめです。
シュノーケリング含めSUPやカヤックも遊べる範囲が限られている(それほど広くない)ので、漕いだらすぐに折り返すって感じです。
港からはあっという間なので、往路はハワイアンミュージック2~3曲で到着、復路はノリのいい外国人向けのダンスパーティー場と化しました。
設備やサービスとして、船内にはトイレは女性用×2、男性用×1あります。
ドーナツ(2種類)と水、レモネード、ティーバッグ+お湯が食べ放題、飲み放題です。
ドーナツは美味しいです。
少しですが日本語(関西弁)を話す親切なスタッフが2人居ました。
説明などは、このスタッフが日本人向けにテーブルを回り説明してくれます。
参加するならサマーシーズンおすすめしますが、全体的にはお値段を考えると360度のビーチってレベルでした。

My husband and I took the North Shore Tour hoping to get a bit of everything - activities, beach, relaxation and fun. We got what we wanted and more. We had Cousin G who made everyone feel comfortable and entertained, and made the tour engaging and funny.
The tour had a good balance of free/activity time and many choices to choose from. We did the waterfall and kayaking option and was one of the highlights of our trip to Hawaii.
We also got the chance to sight see the east and north side of Oahu and had many stops for photos and breaks.
We felt like we got our moneys worth from this trip and got to see and do a lot on the island in just a 8am - 5pm timeframe.

The activity was fun! Service was great! The views were outstanding! The only reason I didn’t rate this a 5 star is because I thought the experience was going to be longer. I either misread the information online for the itinerary wasn’t clear. But either way I would definitely do it again!

I was very impressed with the Kaneohe Bay Sandbar. It was our first time out there and it surpassed our expectations. The food was not the greatest but we went for the experience and not the food. The live musicians were awesome and got the crowd pumped and excited. The lifeguards were also great in explaning how to do things such as kayak, snokleing, as well as the banana boat and bumper float. The views while in the water, amazing. So BEAUTIFUL! Definetly must go to Kaneohe Sandbar.

We where a party of 8 adults. It was such a beautiful day from the time we got on the boat the staff where very welcoming and gave us a a run done of the do's and dont's. On the way out to the sandbar we where entertained by two very talented singers. We had donuts ,water and soft drink for morning tea. only took about 15 min to arrive at the sandbar.It was such a lovely morning you could do some canoeing, paddle boarding, Volley ball, snorkeling,or just chilling on the barge.
All up we had an awesome day and would highly recommend doing it.
we would all do it again the next time we are in Hawaii.Do yourself a favour and book it next time you go to Hawaii.

カイルアは風が強いところと知らずに申し込みました。ガイドさんによると、もし1日でもずれていたら、SUPはできなかった、と。。。確かに、当日も風はありましたが、心地よい程度でした。波に押し返されたり漕ぎ方のコツがつかめず、ちょっと苦労しましたが、海の真ん中に浮かんだ島に行って、そこからの景色を楽しんだり、学んだり。。。ウミガメが見られなかったことが残念でした。
ライフジャケットはカヤックでは必須のようですが、SUPは任意です。サングラスはあれば便利と思いますが、ガイドさんですら無くすそうなので、紐付きが良いです。耐水の鞄を貸してくれますが、写真はガイドさんが撮ってくれますので手ぶらでOKです。

ちょうど風が強い日で、曇り気味だったせいか、水が冷たくてみなさん唇真っ青になりながら水に入っていました。大人の胸くらいまで水深で、5歳児にとっては補助なしでは水の中を移動するのもやっとでした。小さい子ども向けのアクティビティではなかったかもしれません。他にもお子さんがいらっしゃいましたが、どの子も入水後は機嫌が悪そうでした。ましてや赤ちゃんなんてギャン泣きしてました。入水後かなり寒かったので長袖の着替えを持っていくことをお勧めします。
でも、ガイドさんたちはみんなフレンドリーで日本語もカタコトながら親切に説明してくれました。天気が良くて、風さえなければ楽しかったと思います。

This activity was so much fun and absolutely worth it. Purchasing was easy, directions and parking was super easy. We drove our own car from air b&b in Waikiki. Little store in parking area for last minute drink/snack purchases. We brought our own floaters. The ride to sand bar on boat was nice and smooth with live music! The time on sandbar was amazing. The views all around were so so pretty! The kayak/paddle boarding was so much fun! Def bring your own drinks and snacks. Would definitely repeat!

最高でした。乗船してすぐランチを受け取るのですが、後で食べるつもりの人にはラップしてくれます。スノーケリングはほぼ初めてでしたが、説明をしっかりしてくれて、海の中をのぞくともう沢山の魚がいて大満足。マリンシューズは持って行って正解。持参必須です。他のアクティビティも順番を待つという感じではなく、空いているものからやりました。スノーケリングマスクは、後でまた使う場合は船の自分の座席に置いておく。トイレは男用1つ、女性用2つあり、何回か利用。海に入っていると寒くなってトイレに行きたくなるので助かりました。充分キレイなお手洗いでした。途中休憩しながら1時間半も遊んだらもう充分で、船に上がって着替えてゆっくりランチを食べました。送迎車が嫌いなので往復ともUberTAXIを利用。片道ワイキキから50〜60ドル。スタッフは少し日本語もできましたが、注意事項の説明とかは全部英語だったので、日本人向けに日本語で書いたものでもあったらもっと良かったと思いました。今回のハワイ旅行で一番の思い出になりました。

天国の海でアクティビティーもできるということでこちらに参加しました。
参加人数が多くわちゃわちゃして出発が少し遅れていました。船内では2人の歌い手がいてサンドバーに着くまで盛り上げてくれクラブみたいでした。
10分程で天国の海に着き水は透明で綺麗で感激しました。ただ水位は胸ぐらいまであり、通常の海とかわらずで残念でした。
その分supやカヌーがシュノーケリングなどできたので沢山遊べて楽しかったです。

We've been to Honolulu a number of times and only found this awesome tour this visit!
Apart from the weather, wow what an amazing trip it was.
The sandbar is obviously tidal which wasn't in our favour but the water was warm and low enough where you could walk along the ocean floor to the floating barge for a sit and relax in the open.
The only thing I could suggest is that they serve drinks as well at an extra cost or even include it in the price.
Would do this tour again in a heart beat...hopefully with lots of sunshine next time
