Family Friendly Activities on Oahu

Chartering a boat on Kane'ohe Bay Sandbar is one of the most unforgettable vacation experiences.

Charm on the Kaneohe Sandbar

The view

Situated in the middle of Kane'ohe Bay, the Kane'ohe sandbar is a mile-long, three-acre stretch of island that disappears as the tides turn. Only accessible at low tide, this pristine white stretch of sand is a true phenomenon.

Ocean activities

If you're a fan of the sea and sun, heading out to this unique geological anomaly is one of the best things to do in Oahu, for that matter. Snorkeling the Kane'ohe sandbar is best left for high tide when you can comfortably stand waist-deep in the turquoise waters.

Marine life

Hawaii's honu—green sea turtles—who are a protected species under federal and state laws, flock to the barrier-reef protected lagoon and Kane'ohe sandbar. Kane'ohe Bay is also home to a diverse range of marine life.
