About Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports - Kaneohe Sandbar Tour
Cruise to the Kaneohe Bay sandbar for swimming, snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, water volleyball, a floating lounge and live Hawaiian music.
Clear blue water, green mountain views and a wide stretch of sand waiting beneath the surface make Kaneohe Bay a wonderfully playful place to spend a few hours. Cruise out to the sandbar by catamaran, then choose your own mix of swimming, snorkeling, stand up paddle boarding, sandbar volleyball and relaxing on the floating lounge.
Live Hawaiian music adds an easy island rhythm to the experience while reef fish move through the surrounding water and turtles may occasionally be seen nearby. Families can keep the day relaxed or add even more excitement with an optional banana boat or bumper tube ride.
