    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, cookie, and chips.

      Disappointing

      The tide was high so the sandbar was not exposed. I wish they added tide to the reservation so we knew when to book and when not too.

      We're sorry to hear that tide was high. We have a link for tide chart inside our website, but it is not on booking process so you couldn't find it. (Sorry....) We hope you enjoyed our activities except high tide at the sandbar and we look forward to seeing you again -Team KBOS

      Beautiful

      Such a beautiful place. Crew was great and helpful. Live music on board was soothing and relaxing. Having lunch on board made things easy. Only advice is check the moon calendar. We went during a full moon phase and so the tide was higher than usual in the afternoon but we were all safe and well taken care of.

      Fun for the whole family!

      This was so much for my family of 4. All staff and crew were very welcoming. The live music on the boat was great and the activities out on the water were great! Would definitely do it again!
