• Don't forget sunscreen since there is no shade at the sandbar. Wearing a rashguard or long sleeve swimwear is recommended for guests, especially children, with sensitive skin. Hats and umbrellas are also recommended.
• To protect the coral reefs and to ensure a healthy marine eco-system, be sure to use reef-safe sunscreen.
• Please leave all the natural life undisturbed, and do not take any sand or coral with you. You are also required by state law to stay at least 10 feet (3 meters) from all Hawaiian green sea turtles (honu).
• While you are welcome to bring any snacks or drinks to enjoy while out on the Kaneohe Bay Sandbar, be sure to pack up any trash and leave nothing behind.

What is a sandbar?

A sandbar, like the Kaneohe Bay Sandbar, is a landform found in water that is made entirely of sand, pebbles or silt. They often create tiny islands or land bridges, and act as a natural barrier against the tide.

How long is the Kaneohe Sandbar tour?

Tour duration will vary depending on the tour book, but range from three to four hours.

How do you get to the Kaneohe Sandbar?

You can easily reach the sandbar by boat or kayak. A boat ride will take about 10 to 15 minutes, and depending on the ocean conditions, kayaking can take anywhere from 45 to 60 minutes.

Can you swim out to the Kaneohe Sandbar?

Due to the distance from shore, it is not possible for the average person to swim to the sandbar.

Are there sharks at the Kaneohe Sandbar?

Yes, but not to worry! Even though Kaneohe Bay is said to have hammerhead sharks, there have only been a few sightings, and no attacks have ever been reported. Kaneohe Bay Sandbar is one of the safest areas in the water around Oahu.

Is the Kaneohe Sandbar worth visiting?

Yes, most definitely! It is one of the most beautiful places in Hawaii with incredible views of the Koolau Mountains seen in the movie Jurassic Park. The sandbar is also very family-friendly and the shallow waters at the sandbar make it a must-do for any visit to Oahu.

What can you do at the Kaneohe Sandbar?

Whether you come at low tide or high tide, there are plenty of fun things to do at the sandbar. Not only can you simply swim and relax in the water, but you can also set up a net for a game of volleyball, kayak or stand-up paddle along the calm surface, and even go snorkeling at the nearby reefs.

Can you fly drones at the Kaneohe Sandbar?

Due to its close proximity to the Kaneohe Bay Marine Corps Base, it is not advised to use drones as they are not allowed within a certain distance to the base.

What is the best time to go to the Kaneohe Sandbar?

The tide is lower in the early morning, and the weather and ocean conditions are normally calmer as well.

Cool experience!

My husband and I enjoyed this tour…The sand bar is totally unique.. it’s very cool to step out of the boat in what should be deep water and find the water to only be knee deep! The lunch that was provided was delicious.. ... more hamburgers hot off a grill with sides. Then off to a second location to snorkel with hot chocolate or coffee available after ! The guys were very nice.. friendly and fun!

Awesome day snorkeling and playing vb at the sandbar
