rankingHigh Ranking

Departing from He'eia Kea Harbor in Kaneohe Bay, our afternoon departure of the standard Kaneohe sandbar adventure tour is ideal for those looking to experience some fun ocean sports on Oahu. Hop aboard our 70-foot catamaran and head to the Kaneohe sandbar, one of the best things to do in Honolulu when you're visiting our island. Considered to be the world's largest sandbar, this is Oahu's true hidden gem. Let the sounds of live music performed by our talented group of local Hawaiian musicians, soothe you as we set sail. Our destination? The Kaneohe sandbar in the middle of Kaneohe Bay. A snorkeler's dream at high tide, the Kaneohe Bay sandbar lies smack dab in the middle of the scenic bay, offering an idyllic, one-of-a-kind setting to visitors looking to experience the wonders of Oahu's warm Pacific Ocean waters. When the tides turn, the Kaneohe sandbar turns into a milelong fine white sand beach, ideal for soaking up some much-needed vitamin D or playing an invigorating game of water volleyball. After an hour or two of maritime adventures, head back to the catamaran for our all-inclusive lunch—each afternoon program includes a hearty lunch comprised of croissant sandwiches, freshly cut pineapple, salad, and chips.

    Great Time / Friendly Staff

    Lunch / Food was good and well prepared, live music throughout was a nice touch. Sandbar was nice and waist deep, great for swimming. We did the lay down tubing ride from another small boat they had with an outboard which was great, fast but not too fast and when asked to slow it down a bit they honor your wishes. Scenery all around, combined with the beautiful water was an overall really nice time. 10 minutes out to sandbar, boat was a slow steady ride so not much of a chance of getting sea sick - thanks to all staff & crew !!
