Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports is awesome. The crew? Super friendly and know their stuff. They make sure everyone has a good time and stays safe. The live music was amazing 🤌. Snorkeling at the sandbar is chill — lots of cool fish to see, and if you’re lucky, you might spot a turtle just doing its thing. Kayaking and paddleboarding are a workout/comedy show built into one. You get to check out the sandbar at your own pace. Definitely a day well spent with some great ocean vibes. 🤙🐟🐢

I enjoyed my experience visiting the sandbar with this company. We had a good time and the prices seemed cheap than some of the competitors, which was nice.

Must see when in Hawaii it’s about a 20 minute boat ride out to the sandbar and there’s few companies have monopoly on it. However, they do make it enjoyable and relaxing. They have stand up paddle boards and kayaks for use but it’s only a small area you can go. This is just for relaxing and viewing Hawaii from a really beautiful location. Snorkeling isn’t the best because you’re only able to see a few fish. So what they could do better… selling or including drinks onboard. You have to bring everything with you although if you pay the fee you receive a bag of chips, a sandwich and juice/water. I didn’t like that we had to wear a life vest to snorkel, but maybe it’s to protect the coral so you don’t stand on it. Other than that the live music was awesome and everyone had fun.

Fantastic experience and the staff were so accommodating! The sandbar was beautiful and the snorkeling was great - we saw so many different fish. Originally we had booked an afternoon tour, but due to boat maintenance, we got moved to the morning tour (which is the right call anyway, you should book the morning tour!). Our afternoon tour included lunch and even though we got moved, the staff still provided our lunch, which we did not expect and were pleasantly surprised by. They also offered a banana boat ride on the house (we didn't originally pay for that upgrade), clearly going above and beyond to make up for switching up our tour times. I can't say enough about how great everyone was. This is for sure a Hawaii must-do!

This was definitely the highlight of our trip. The boat staff were super friendly, the live music was great, the vibe was on point. Banana boat ride was awesome as well. The sandbar itself was very nice, fun to be out in the ocean while still in waist deep water. Plenty of snorkeling and fun to be had. Definitely will book with these guys again!

Awesome ownership and crew, these guys rep all the aloha and show you the best time on the water. 10 outa 10 recommend to see the sandbar. They serve lunch aboard or you can even get a chef and just rent the whole thing for your gathering. Hit up Marcus and his crew!
