Kaneohe Bay Kayak & Snorkel Self-Guided Tour [Tour Not Available]

Great experience

Reviewed by: Brittney

Amazing views and saw sea turtles! Great experience and the instructor was very helpful. She told us exactly where to go and where not to go. She even pinned the locations on our phones which was super helpful. We did the whole day tour and it was worth it. Great time.

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

Must go

Reviewed by: Kaori Walker

It was absolutely beautiful!! We all had a great time starting from awesome live band on the boat, SUP, Canoe, snorkeling are all inclusive, my 70 plus years old parents enjoyed trying on the SUP too! We also had 3 years old, she was having fun swimming and relaxing on the floating deck in the middle of ocean! Watching fishes swim by us was pretty neat! Great experience for all of us. If you’re in Hawaii you must go!

North Shore Clear Bottom Kayak Tour & Turtle Watch from Haleiwa Beach

False advertisement

Reviewed by: Julio C

First and foremost, I have to give a shout-out to Ramsey because he was great. The kayak and experience itself was complete garbage. I was under the impression that we’d be at this beautiful blue sandbar in a glass kayak seeing all these beautiful turtles and looking at the gorgeous sea life underneath us. Come to find out, we would be kayaking at a disgusting creek with dead turtles and the nastiest water I’d ever be in with bubbles included. I watched a YouTube video where they advertised this website with a person on a beautiful blue ocean looking at sealife with this glamorous glass kayak. Meanwhile, I get a hazy plastic kayak with dead turtles in a bubbling green creek. Worst case of false advertising that I’ve EVER come across. I had to quit the excursion early because I was so disgusted and disappointed. I would NOT recommend this trip to anyone. Complete waste of time and money

Good times

Reviewed by: Sindy

I loved this experience. We got there early to find parking and decided to eat breakfast. My spouse took in the scenery, everything was so peaceful. The boat ride was about 7 minutes and the area was beautiful. We got to do most of the activities, ate donuts and drank juice. Would love to return and do it again.

I survived the Mokes!!!

Reviewed by: Felipe

Awesome experience. I survived the Mokes. It was a long kayak ride from the main canal to the Mokes, very challenging but worth it. By returning the kayak gears and eating the lunch that was included, I also could get a bike which was awesome to ride around the beach.

Kaneohe Bay Kayak & Snorkel Self-Guided Tour [Tour Not Available]

Disappointed

Reviewed by: Disappointed

The maps are not helpful. Once out of the cove, it was hard to find the landmarks to orient ourselves. Did not see any fish or turtles while snorkeling. The wind was so strong and guides did not give advice on how to navigate in high winds- were paddling hard on right side trying to go left but kayak continued to go right. Upon finally making it back to the cove the guides did not get up from their seats, didn’t assist us getting out of kayaks and just told us to put the paddles and life jackets back ourselves.
Would not recommend.

Reply from activity provider

Aloha. I am sorry to hear that you had a disappointing experience kayaking and snorkeling with us. And sorry that you did not find our map or our staff's instructions helpful. Was there any information missing from our map or anything that we could have added to the map to make it more helpful? Any feedback would be appreciated as we would love to improve if possible. Unfortunately we can never guarantee wildlife sightings. The animals are always there, you just have to be in the right place at the right time. I'm sorry that they weren't there for you that day. And although we are in the flattest bay on the island, we are still exposed to the wind and conditions, and there is almost always wind involved in ocean kayaking. But very sorry again that overall your experience was disappointing.

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

Good, Fun Event with a couple minor negative details

Reviewed by: Fred S

Let's start with the good. Crew was fabulous. Boat was great. Live music was excellent. Variety of activities was excellent--especially the banana boat and disc events--which I highly recommend you add to your experience. Paddle boarding and kayaks were also a nice option for the family. Food/drinks was good too.

The not so good--the snorkeling was just average because we were not allowed to have much freedom to explore. They should allow a time allotment for the extra perks so more can enjoy the extra activities. The main negative was the music they played traveling back to shore--although fun for young adults and old--not too great for my 7 y/o as there was not the consideration of having music with bad language being played for her to hear and ask questions.

Still a good experience overall and would do again IF the music was at least filtered a bit.

Chill and relaxing trip

Reviewed by: Nina Gal

Very friendly crew and overall a good experience. Just a bit too crowded in the boat especially while we are still in a pandemic.
The boat was clean overall and great music played on our way there and way back. Lunch was fresh and nice. Overall a good experience with the ability to choose what you wanna do. Kayaking was fun and other options to paddle board or snorkel. No sea life since the coral reefs are dead unfortunately.

Kaneohe sandbar

Reviewed by: Kathy

Absolutely breathtaking beautiful clear water. The live band and crew were amazing. The tide was very low so we were not able to do much snorkeling here, although we did see a few different varieties of fish. This was mostly a place to enjoy the water, views, and have some beverages in the sun. A must see when visiting Oahu.

Fun way to enjoy the Sandbar!!!

Reviewed by: Cree Richmond

This was one of our most fun activities in Oahu!!! Very relaxing, amazing live music, super friendly staff and the water sports were a highlight!!! We will be back again. Ny husband lost his wallet in the ocean and one of the Captains was honest and returned it. This was such a blessing because our trip could have been ruined with no way to return home. But thanks to the crew on the boat , it stayed just as awesome as this fun day at the sandbar cruise!!!!

Waikiki Guided Diving Tours for Beginners with Free Videos - Try Scuba Hawaii

Worst experience ever!

Reviewed by: Drew

Avoid them at all cost. They are there to loot your money only. If you just want to experience holding a oxygen tank on your back and go down 12 feet, then this would be for you. Even though they say you don’t need to know how to swim, hey also don’t really teach you much and so when you feel uncomfortable, they take you out. No wetsuits were provided. They are right by a little bay so you won’t be going anywhere in a boat and they finish the entire thing in about hour (there are about 10-12 people). It feels like they just want to get done with it so they can get their money. Never here again!
