The crew was amazing and so helpful! KBOS seems to have an area all to themselves, so it felt like we were on a private island. There are opportunities to do a lot of activities with plenty of time so you don’t ever feel rushed.

Very awesome trip

Reviewed by: Katrina

We had a great time on this trip!
It was very relaxing and fun! The stuff took care of us and made sure we were safe. We snorkeled, saw some fish, we did kayaking and paddle boarding and relaxed on a floating island with chairs. Lunch was also great! Music was so beautiful and fun! And the stuff took awesome photos of us! Thank you!
Would do this again!

Kualoa Ranch Private Beach at Secret Island - Kayak, SUP, Volleyball & More

best choice we made during our family trip in Hawaii!

Reviewed by: DKH

Secret Island is a very special place for our family. my daughter got a wedding in Moli'i garden and secret island during Covid.
we have a wonderful memory of her wedding with our closed family and friends only under 20 people.
it was a magical experience,so we had been always talking how we can go back to the island.
and we finally planned a family trip to Hawaii this spring, and we have been searched many different websites which offers a tour to the secret island.

this website did not have many reviews compared to other major travel websites, but their prices were the best so we decided to give it a shot.

and the decision was the best!
the reservation process, confirmation, instructions and everything was GREAT!
it was a little bit of cold and rainy day so we were the only group going to the island that day. we basically rented the entire island to ourselves.

we highly recommend this webstie for Kualoa ranch tour!

Kualoa Ranch Private Beach at Secret Island - Kayak, SUP, Volleyball & More

Good fun for families

Reviewed by: Kelly

We enjoyed our half-day experience. As tourists, the Secret Island experience was nice because it satisfied my desire to do kayaking and paddle boarding. The beach was nice for young kids because they had supplies to build sand-castles, however that is the most of what my young children really enjoyed. In retrospect, most of the activities there would be best for older children and teenagers to really enjoy. For families with younger children, it may be best to buy some sand toys and head to a local beach.

Kaneohe Bay Sandbar Ocean Sports Adventure with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Music

So much fun!

Reviewed by: Mike

From the moment we boarded the boat, we were provided a delicious lunch and greeted with the friendly staff and hilarious emcee.

The live Hawaiian music created an ambience of enchantment. The live performances were sensational, perfectly capturing the spirit of the islands.

The variety of water activities was truly impressive. Snorkeling provided us a stunning glimpse into the vibrant marine life, while the sandbar volleyball turned out to be an unexpected delight. I was personally taken with standup paddle boarding (SUP) and kayaking - both were exhilarating experiences that offered different perspectives of the water.

Not to forget the floating lounge platform! It was the perfect place to unwind, enjoy our drinks and snacks, and simply soak in the beauty of the surroundings. Everything was wonderfully organized and the boat was equipped with all the necessary amenities.

In short, this activity was more than just a day out on the water; it was a vibrant blend of culture, excitement, and relaxation. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable Hawaiian adventure. Five stars are simply not enough!

Morning sandbar tour

Reviewed by: Samantha

My boyfriend and I are locals and haven’t been to the sandbar in years. This tour was everything we were hoping for and more! The staff was super friendly, engaging, and really went out of their way to ensure everyone had a good time. The boat is pretty spacious so there’s plenty of shade when you need a break from the sun. Plus you can’t go wrong with live music! Not sure if any other tours offer that! We will definitely be booking again :).

サンドバー シュノーケリングクルーズ バナナボートなど選べるプラン! 海に浮かぶラウンジ&船上ライブミュージック アルコール購入可!<午前・午後/日本語クルー>

とにかくキレイ!これぞハワイの海!!

Reviewed by: MOMO

いつか行ってみたいなと思っていたサンドバーでシュノーケリングとSUPをしてきました!
まず、別料金ですが近くのホテルまでバンで迎えに来てもらい港まで30分ぐらいで着きました!
(15人ぐらい乗っていたかな?1番最後に乗ったのでそれぐらいの時間でした)
港に着くと、トイレがあるので済ませておき、書類にサインなどして説明を受けました。
トイレは船の中にもあり、女性用2つ男性用1つありました。
日本人の女性が1人と日本語を喋れる男性(関西弁笑)が1人いました。
船に乗ると、男性2人がギターとウクレレで演奏して盛り上げてました!
(休憩で船に戻った時に、スピーカーで音楽をかけられていたので曲をリクエストしたらかけてくれました)
初めてSUPに挑戦しましたが、風が吹いていた為漕ぐよりも流されるに近いかんじでした笑
ただ、風が止むとしっかり進むので楽しかったです!
赤い浮きより先に行ってはいけなかったので、頑張って漕いでましたがなかなか進まず、それを見かねた日本語を喋れる男性(関西弁)が引っ張って助けてくれました笑
シュノーケリングは珊瑚礁の近くに行くと、スタッフの方がフランスパン?を渡してくれて、それを海の中でちぎると魚達が出てきてたくさん見る事が出来ました!
あと珊瑚礁の方には小さいキレイな魚がいましたが、船の近くの方の腰より高いぐらいの所に行き餌をやっていると1m弱ぐらいのとても大きい魚もたくさん見る事が出来ました!
スタッフの方に聞くと、白身の魚で食べたら美味しいそうです笑
残念ながらウミガメは見ることが出来なかったですが、また次回の楽しみにしておきます
5月上旬に参加しましたが、海からあがると肌寒く、着替えは持って来ずにバスタオルのみだったのでワンピースなど簡単に着れる着替えがあったらよかったと後悔しました。
天気も良くて全体的に良いツアーでした!

Most unbelievably fun experience ever

Reviewed by: Jim

I was very excited for this event and it actually far exceeded my expectations. The ride to the sand bar was pretty quick however I wish it was longer because they had an amaaaazing live band. Kaawa Entertainment. I could listen to them forever. Unfortunately, we reached our destination, and I could no longer listen to them. However, playing in the sandbar was soooo much fun. I thoroughly enjoyed the kayaking and paddle boarding. They also had snorkeling which I didn't enjoy as much. But my wife really loved the snorkeling. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. My wife and I both had trouble steering the paddle board initially and we were out of bounds. But the staff was very nice about it and helped us back in bounds. The sandbar is so amazing where you're in the middle of the ocean yet you are walking on sand. There were no waves so it was pretty easy to maneuver around. I could've stayed there for hours longer but the event was over. 10 stars out of 5. If you go please tip the staff and entertainment a looot. They really made the experience sooo much more fun. Highlight of our 8 day trip to Hawaii.

Great Experience!

Reviewed by: Taylor

This was one of the best experiences I had while vacationing on Oahu. The bay is absolutely beautiful and it was so much fun to explore. However, The band and the crew are really what made the experience. The band was excellent, and the crew members were all so kind and helpful. It seemed like everyone working on the boat was genuinely happy to be there. Being in their presence helped me understand the “aloha spirit” a little bit more. Thank you so much for a beautiful day!

We were pleasantly surprised to find this last minute on our trip! We drove from Waikiki, definitely need to arrive early for parking! It was easy to find. Staff was very fun and knowledgeable, live music was great, even the lunch was simple but fresh and delicious! You can bring whatever you need on the boat and have access to it at all times. Location is beautiful. We unfortunately had a very windy day which made water choppy and chilly for me but still a very great experience! Many beautiful fish and my boyfriend was lucky enough to get close to a sea turtle! Highly recommend booking this activity! They even have a lifeguard in the water, good for all ages!

Amazing time for the morning tour

Reviewed by: David N

Group of 6 with young kids and my parents in their 70s. We arrived at 845 for a 9am departure. Signed waivers and bought stuff at the harbor- really nice store with snacks, beer, sodas. Didn’t depart till 915 so I felt a little robbed for our time at the sand bar. Which is my only complaint because we wanted to soak up every minute. All the activities advertised were there. Live band was fun. Morning Donuts were huge. Water and juice was nice. The drive there and back was smooth. Staff was very nice. My 3 year old wanted to “help” during clean up but was more in the way and the staff was very chill. They offered snacks when they saw he was sad to be leaving. We will definitely consider coming back for the longer and catered afternoon tour. Thanks.
