Kaneohe Bay Sandbar Ocean Sports Adventure with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Music
Great outing, perfect for families.
Reviewed by: Angela
We thoroughly enjoyed the outing! The crew was fantastic. The kids and us spent time on SUP, and kayak. We didn't feel rush at all. We also had time to snorkel and see the tropical fishes. I would totally recommend this activity by KBOS.

Outstanding!
Reviewed by: Cynthia
It was our first time visiting Hawaii, and this sand bar package trip made our experience so much better! Had a great time snorkeling, paddle-boarding, and kayaking at the sandbar! The crew members are very kind and helpful as well. Live music inside the boat made time fly too! I would definitely suggest this package to all my friends!

So much fun!!!
Reviewed by: Josh
These folks are awesome! They made every second fun and were very safe with everything they did. We had our 1 year old son with us who does great adventuring. They made sure it was east for us and that we all had a good time. They were also so careful to protect the coral and wildlife at the sandbar.

Amazing snorkeling
Reviewed by: Lin C
The sandbar wasn’t exposed that day so we opted to snorkel at the different reefs and I’m so glad we decided to do that. The reefs are beautiful and there are a lot of fish to see. We saw several turtles too. The staff are very friendly. You can still use your phone data out at the reefs which made it a lot easier to find them on Google maps. I highly recommend this excursion

I had the best time!!! The staff was so friendly and nice and we even got a little special guitar performance on the way back to the island. The lunch was spectacular and if there are any leftovers, they will be given! But it is very filling! I can’t imagine what I’d do if I came to Hawaii and missed this tour!

Great kayaking experience at iconic spot
Reviewed by: JTA
I had rented a tandem kayak rental at this place and they were really great in accommodating our schedule. Originally we were planning to go out on a Saturday, but the weather was not ideal, so we asked if we can reschedule and they did allow us to reschedule for later in the week as a one time exception.
It was a great idea to do that since the following Tuesday we went and the weather was fantastic (sunny and low winds).
The sandbar is about a 30-45 min kayak, and it wasn't rough at all. The scenery is beautiful and it was pretty cool to be standing out on a sandbar that far out from shore. Overall, I would definitely do it again as long as the weather cooperates.
Aloha! 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. I am so glad to hear that things worked out and you were able to come on a different day with better conditions and have a good experience. Hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!

Best Activity in Oahu!
Reviewed by: Kimberly
This was my favorite activity I did in Hawaii on this trip! It’s my third time to visit Oahu and this is by far the best thing I’ve done on the island. The views are incredible, the reefs are beautiful, and you feel like you’re swimming with the fishes when snorkeling. The kayak out to the sandbar is a little bit of a challenge, but not too bad if you take your time and do a tandem kayak. The view from the sandbar is definitely worth the challenge. The guides for this activity were very knowledgeable and helpful, they go over everything with you before you go out into the bay. I will definitely be doing this again! Highly recommend!
Aloha Kimberly! That is awesome! I am so glad to hear you had such a great experience. And thank you for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review for us. We really appreciate that. Please come back and see us again soon! Mahalo nui loa!

Poor communication between Veltra and the provider KBOS
Reviewed by: Jim
My back went out on Sunday 21 Nov 21, so on Monday 22 Nov 21 at approximately1145 I called the number provided on the Veltra voucher, KBOS. I requested cancellation of one of the six participants stating I could barely stand much less enjoy what we had signed up for. The lady that answered the phone at KBOS stated she would have to check with someone, KBOS required a 72 hour prior cancellation notification, and since our date was 25 Nov 21 with a 0750 pick up time, it was too late to cancel one participant. I received both a voice mail and email within two hours stating I was too late to cancel one participant again because I was within the 72 hour cancellation window. However, my Veltra voucher states I can cancel “Any cancellations made after 18:00 local time 2 business days prior to the activity will be subject to a charge of 100% of the total amount.” When I read that part of the voucher to the KBOS lady, she said she would contact Veltra; she did not call back, and it was either go or lose the fee. I went and had trouble getting on the boat due to the steep ramp and no hand rail (staff did assist or I cold not have gotten on). The only food available was donuts, tang orange drink, and water (not the list that is stated in the voucher). I paid for two donut and four banana rides, no donut was available, a speed boat ride was the substitute however. I sat on the boat the entire time since the ladder into the water was too difficult with the sore back. KBOS was fine, the misinformation was included in the Veltra voucher, and Veltra did nothing to follow up with their misinformation.

Highly Recommended 5 star Experience!
Reviewed by: Melissa C
This was our first time visiting the sandbar and it was so much fun because of the crew of KBOS! Our day was overcast, but we still had an amazing experience. They have a large selection of water toys. We did the paddle boards, clear canoe & snorkeled over the coral. But you can also kayak or get a ride on a banana boat. They also set up a volleyball net. They pull a large platform barge with seating so you can rest or just enjoy sunbathing. The catamaran is shaded & spacious with plenty of tables for seating. There are bathrooms & changing rooms on board. They fed us a turkey/ham sandwich on a croissant with chips & pineapple and they provide water & punch anytime you need it. I felt like we could bring our entire family including all ages from grandparents to small kids. There is something for everyone. We saw a massive turtle & a sting ray. Even though our day was cloudy the crew still made it a blast! They were fun to hang out with & the live band was AMAZING! I usually don’t redo excursions that I’ve already done, but I would definitely book this tour every time I visit Oahu!
Mahalo for this amazing review Melissa!

Worth it
Reviewed by: A. T.
It was such a fun and relaxing day trip. Worth it! Good experience! The only con thing is that it’s stated on the website that soft drinks, juice, bread, pastries and continental breakfast are included with all the water activities BUT….BIG BUT they didn’t have and never had any of those except DONUTS, water and punch! I showed them what’s written on the tour site and the booking confirmation and they said that’s weird I was not the first who said this, they gotta talk to the agent. So come prepare your own drinks and snacks.
We apologize for the misunderstanding. We can assure you that we did contact your booking agent to make that correction on their website.
Mahalo for spending the day with us and we hope to see you guys again :)

Cousin G was awesome! We had a great day. The morning activity we chose snorkeling. Unfortunately for others, the falls were closing on Monday’s starting THAT day due to covid restrictions, so everyone had to do snorkeling. Had some food from shrimp truck, it was okay. We stopped at a macadamia nut and coffee tasting place, that was really cool. We did kayaking for our afternoon activity- not a lot of shade so definitely bring sunscreen or wear a long sleeve top, we roasted on the river. Then we stopped in town. Was a great day on the north shore, thanks again cousin g!
