The staff were fantastic. The location was fantastic. Glad we only had about 35 people along. 100… their max is 100. It got a little crowded in the area they confine you too. I also did not like wearing the life preserver while snorkeling. I could have spent the whole morning on the reef, but they only let you visit half.

天候が曇りだったためすごく寒かったですが、
それだけは運なので、、、、、
海に浸かってる方が暖かく感じるくらい
寒かったです、、、、、。

カヤックのみのレンタルでしたが、閉店までシュノーケルや自転車など自由に使って良いなどゆったりした感じが最高でした。
カヤックではウミガメにも遭遇できて最高でした!
カヤックを海まで運ぶのが結構大変でした。

年末のツアーに申し込みました。
当日朝のワイキキは晴れていたのですが、バスでカネオヘ湾に着く頃には曇天に。他ツアーのガイドに聞いた話だと、ハワイ諸島は島の東側は南側・西側に比べ曇天や雨になりやすいのだそうです。
現地スタッフの皆さんがフレンドリーで、風でブイより遠くに流されたりしないように、など良く見ていてもらえたので子連れでも安心してエンジョイできました。
少し肌寒い日でしたがほぼ満席でもカヌーやSAP、シュノーケリング用具が足りなくなることはありませんでした。
ただ、軽食として提供されるドーナツは早めに品切れとなるので早めの確保をお勧めします。
アロハ!ハワイの天気は変わりやすく、残念ながら天気が崩れると寒いこともあります。でもアクティビティを楽しんでいただけたようで、良かったです。ツアーご参加ありがとうございました。 KBOS スタッフ一同

初めて参加しました。
送迎が15分以上遅れてたので、
集合場所がここであっているのか?
ずっと不安でした‥。
集合場所の写真があれば、遅れる人も減るのでは?
と思いました。
天気のせいもあると思いますが、
海がとっても冷たくて娘たちには厳しかった。
こんなに冷たかったらウェットスーツを用意したりできたので、寒さ対策も一言あると嬉しかったです。
現地の方の対応はとても良く、
サンドイッチもおいしかったです!

Well organized tour. Tour has enough ppl to watch the full load of the onboard and plenty of equipments for each activity. They kept an close eye on everyone to assure our safety. Going with kids, to us, its a plus. I witnessed others who are seniorities and were given immediate assistance when needed. Great music band, good vocal and songs. Every team member of the tour is very friendly. I will definitely book with them next time I go to snorkeling.

自分はバナナボートを利用しました。かなり速度が出るため凄いスリリングな体験でした。またカヌーに乗ってウミガメにも出会うことが出来ました。魚用のエサをスタッフからもらえるので、たくさん魚が寄ってきて、シュノーケリングも最高でした。
ただ干潮の時間には行きましたが、陸地が見えるようなことはなく、脚がつくぐらいの深さ感でしたので、その点は残念でした。
サンドバーでアクティビティやウミガメとの遭遇を楽しんで頂けて大変嬉しく思います。潮位はご期待に添えなかった様で残念でしたが、再度ツアーへのご参加を是非お待ちしております。ご参加ありがとうございました。 KBOS スタッフ一同

This tour is impressive. We two adults and one kid (5 years old) really enjoyed the tour. There are roughly 3 hours from leaving and back to the wharf, including the round trips (20 minutes), preparation and cleaning (20 minutes), and the total number at Sand bar for playing is about 2 hours 20 minutes, which is enough for playing kayak, paddle board, snookering, volleyball, and relaxing.
The place itself is safe. KBOS assigned one or two staffs for each kind of activity, and they provide help for whoever needs it. The water depth was 3~4 ft when we were there, and the staff said the water depth is 2~5 ft depending on the tides. Little kids friendly as long as they are not sacred of swimming.
Simple lunch and drink were provided. Live music on the boat. The staffs are really helpful and friendly. Highly recommend!
We self drive from Waikiki, which took us about 40 minutes before the lunch time. There are a lot of parking spots.
We will come back when we visit Oahu again.

The staff was very friendly. However, the price of the ticket did NOT match the value of the experience.
The inside of the boat is in poor condition (holes in the ceiling tiles, visible mold, peeling paint, an overall unpleasant smell, etc.) The life jackets are old and mildewy, and the snorkeling gear should probably be upgraded.
The lunch (included in the ticket price, not free) consisted of a sandwich with 1 slice of dollar store quality lunch meat cut in half (it was supposed to be turkey but looked like bologna), pineapple slices, a few pieces of lettuce as salad, and an optional bag of chips. Your beverage options were either powder juice mix or water. Hot tea was served at the end.
For those expecting a bar when looking at the ticket price, NO alcohol is served. This seemed out of the ordinary compared to the other boat excursions I’ve been on, and the other guests were also surprised by this.
The live music was great until they started playing Christmas songs that could have passed for lullabies halfway into the trip. People were literally falling asleep. Since the weather wasn’t great (*not anyone’s fault*), it would’ve been nice if they played more upbeat tunes. Perhaps the majority of our ticket price goes to the live music fee since everything else was extremely lacking.
All the reviews I read and pictures I viewed before booking were great, and now they seem dishonest/misleading. Due to the nature of the issues I found (boat conditions, equipment conditions, and quality of food), I do not think my experience is unique or this was an “off” day.
Again, the staff was very friendly, and I do NOT place any blame on them. However, their friendless did not make up for the deficiencies I explained above.
Aloha Danielle, we are sorry that you didn't enjoy our tour. We shared your feedback with our crews, and we will discuss about better way to our customer satisfied (music, lunch and equipment etc.). They will make an effort to meet high expectations. When we check the boat, we couldn't find any wholes in ceiling tile. We do maintenance our boat and keep clean everyday but will do check more carefully. Mahalo for sharing your experience. - Team KBOS

I really enjoyed the friendly people whoever was leading the tour and also the live music, it was fabulous! But I would have to say , they didn’t do good for the safety part… I got injured from the snorkeling because it was my first time ever, I definitely lacked of knowledge about how to snorkel safely, and no one was giving instructions about how to stay safe in the ocean. I got injured from accidentally hitting the coral, I never know the coral can be that close to people (I never had ocean experience). I also was not the only person that was injured, another strong man, he was attacked by jellyfish. Hopefully they can do better for the safety instructions.
We are very sorry to hear that you got injured from coral. Your feedback has been shared with our crews and we will make effort to keep everyone safe. Mahlo! - Team KBOS

Me and my husband did several activities in the Big Island and Oahu and the experience we had in the Sandbar was the best out of all. The reservation was easy and the staffs/crews on the boat were very friendly. They delivered the information and guideline very well and were willing to help. Kayaking was so fun and relaxing and snorkeling was amazing(I can't swim but the life vest they provided helped me to explore the ocean). We saw more fish than we did at Hanauma Bay. I definitely recommend this activity to everyone who visits Oahu. Next time I go, I would bring a jacket or an extra beach towel with me because I felt a little cold on the way back(They give you hot tea to help).

大きな船でポイントに向かう途中もウクレレの生演奏もあり、飲み物や昼食のサービスもありとても快適だった。カヌーやsap体験も楽しくシュノーケリングも道具も全て用意してあり手ぶらで楽しめる。
私が行った日は天気が悪く雨混じりで日が差さず寒くて、時間いっぱいまで海に入って居る人が少なかったが、船に上がってもウクレレ演奏で楽しませてくれるので、このサービスを選んで満足です。冷えた体を温めるあったかい飲み物のサービスも心に染みました。
天気が良ければこの世ならぬ美しい景色を堪能出来たとは思うがこればかりは運次第。
一つ不満があるとすれば港の駐車場がそんなに広くないので、私はたまたまうまく空いたところに止められたが、止めるスペースがなければレンタカーできた人は困ると思う。
ハワイの天気は変わりやすく暖かい日もあれば、残念ながら天気が崩れると寒いこともあります。天候の善し悪しにかかわらず皆様が楽しんで頂けるようなツアーを催行していきたいと考えております。この度はツアーへのご参加、体験をシェアして頂きありがとうございました。KBOS スタッフ一同

Having been to a few islands and done various activities, the Kaneohe Sandbar was a unique experience. Standing in the bay very far from shore, being able to look at the windward coast while SUP'ing and snorkeling and generally hanging out was so memorable. On top of that, the guides were so great and friendly, the donut and tang tasty treats and music from live performers was an unreal touch.
This was a great way to get exposure to a bunch of activities without exhausting yourself getting out to the sandbar on a rented kayak. Being able to BYOB and not worry about how that will affect your trip back to the dock was a super bonus!
NOTE: the snorkeling on the sandbar is super limited since the water is only waist-deep. Great for beginners and kiddos, but if you want a more snorkel focused tour, search around for that.
