The Reception

SATURDAY - Kaneohe Sandbar

On Saturday, 9/21, we’ll spend a half day at the Kaneohe Sandbar. Also known as “Ahu o Laka” or Sunken Island, the Kaneohe Sandbar is Hawaii’s largest sheltered body of water. Protected by a barrier reef, it offers an extraordinary adventure –free from the turbulence of ocean swells. It’s like having your own private beach surrounded by serene ocean waters. When the tide is at its lowest, the sandbar extends over a mile and transforms into a pristine dry beach. Whether you ’ re looking for a relaxing day or an adventurous water-filled experience, Kaneohe Sandbar has something for everyone.

Kaneohe Ocean Sports will be our hosts. There is a hotel pickup between 11:15-11:45 am and we’ll spend three hours on the water. All- inclusive packages include the use of bumper tubes and banana boats. All tours include lunch and live music, along with snorkeling, kayaking, and sandbar volleyball. For tickets/more information on Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports, you can visit their website at: Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports.
