THIS PLACE IS ABSOLUTE PARADISE (Kayaking the Kaneohe Sandbar)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- This week is an adventure to the beautiful town of Kaneohe to kayak to the sandbar, something we've been wanting to do for a long time! We snorkeled and enjoyed the mile long beach that naturally occurs in the bay. This is our best adventure yet on the island. The kayaking trip took us about 30 minutes and gave us views of the Ko'olau Mountain Range, sea turtles and a hidden paradise!
Afterwards, we visited one of the most romantic restaurants on the island, Haleiwa Joe's in Kaneohe. It was an hour and a half wait but totally worth it! We ate the largest prime rib ever and enjoyed watching the sunset.

Hey guys! I just wanted to thank you for positing beautiful videos. My now fiancé and I just returned from Oahu and did a few of your suggestions, including the San Bar. It was like heaven! We tried our very hardest to not be typical tourists and show as much love and respect to the land and people as we could. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Cheers from LA! ❤️
That is so nice to hear! Isn’t the Sand Bar awesome?? And I’m sure you guys were very respectful on the island. Glad you guys had a good time on Oahu!
I live on the island of Oahu and our family appreciate you guys respecting our island. so much love and aloha from my family to yours Happy New year.
We have family in Oahu, so we go there almost every year and always go to the sandbars in Kaneohe thanks to my cousin. It is so wonderful to stand in sandbar two feet above your feet and just enjoy this beautiful paradise our Lord gave to all of us. Please respect the Island and keep it clean Mahalo.....
Awesome! It really is amazing, a different experience from a regular beach. Mahalo for watching!
Tips: You can get a small anchor for your kayak, anchor on sand and avoid damaging coral reefs. Officially, kayaks are considered boats and require you to wear a life vest. Make sure you buy a kayaking life vest which is not bulky around the shoulders to allow easy paddling. Nice views, thank you!
I went there on a cloudy day - it was still fun!
thanks for the tip on flying my drone!
BTW, there is a great snorkel reef near there, one of the best on Oahu.
We will have to check out the reef! I heard there was a tiger shark nearby the sandbar a few days ago as well. Hope you got some great shots with your drone.
Good people! Thanks for the beautiful video.
Thanks for watching!
You guys are amazing I love you guys, y’all are so underrated wow WHERE IS THE MILLION SUBS?!
Thank you!!! You are awesome 😁
This looks so beautiful.....
If you ever get the chance to visit Oahu, it's worth going to see the sandbar!
Awesome video, I hope I can still fly my drone - thanks for the tip and sharing your experience.
When is actually low tide to go out on kayak we are going in mid July and it’s my second time ! Love the videos thank you !
Thanks for watching! It changes throughout the year so you'll have to check the tide report before you go. Check out this website. www.tide-forecast.com/locations/Mokuoloe-Kaneohe-Bay-Oahu-Island-Hawaii/tides/latest
Lovely, beautiful beach. I will definitely visit. Thank you for the video!
Have fun whenever you go!
Omg here I am a year later watching this again preparing for my 2nd trip to Oahu! Can’t wait to try this
This video is amazing!
I want to know what 7 ppl disliked this video, lol. Who could dislike something this beautiful.
first like from morocco .. enjoy 😍
Woohoo! 🤙
All of the food in this video looked amazing!
I'm back from Hawaii! Thanks for the tips. We did Koko walk....crazy! Made it to Joes too! Amazing views!
We hope you had an amazing time!! we loved haleiwa Joe’s, delicious food :)
Absolutely Beautiful 🏖💗
Lovely, thanks for posting
Great video looks like you guys had a blast! I love the storytelling, looking forward to visiting these places and following your journeys!
Thanks for watching! Many more adventures to come :)
Thank you for such a beautiful video. Someday, I hope to visit Hawaii again. It’s my favourite place!!
Yes, Hawaii can be magical! ✨
Beautiful video thanks for sharing
Love you guys!!! Amazing vibe
Thank you!! :)
This has been on my list to visit and hopefully this trip we will make it but I had not heard about the Hammerhead breeding info before 😳 Thanks for the heads up, still a beautiful area.
Definitely go and check it out! 🤙
We just came back from Oahu & already planning our trip back. Too bad I just came across your channel prior to our trip but definitely subscribing now!! I wish we could move to the island as well. Aloha!
Oahu is definitely worth a second (and third) trip. Hope you enjoyed the island 😁
This is the first video I saw that said that Lobster was good so I guess I will try it. It had horrible reviews on other channels. I also saw a lot of great reviews for the chicken & waffles but I was disappointed when I got it. Guess it depends on which batch you get. My favorites so far was the Impossible meatball & most of the items at the Brunch booth (besides the biscuit.)
Been there.....amazing!
Great video! Very beautiful scenery!
☮️❤️🤙🏼
You lucky you live Hawai’i!
nice paradise, good place
Thanks!
So glad you like the video! It means a lot to us that you support our small channel :) We really appreciate it. Mahalo!
Amazing! What time of year and time of day did you do this video?
We are going in July and taking notes
Nice video guys. Definitely i'm going back to Oahu as soon as Covid lets me. Where did you rent the kayak in Kaneohe?
At kailua beach rentals, they give you stuff to transport it on your own car. Very helpful people that work there!
I've been there with Kayak a month ago. I miss this place!
The place is magical!
K Bay was always the most desired post in the worldwide USMC. With the rock always desired least. After a year on the rock, many found the Vietnam war a step up.
Awesome video, thank you! We’re set for a trip to Hawaii this January. What’s a good day/time to visit the sandbar?
Enjoy your trip!! You’ll have to google when it’s low tide at the kaneohe sandbar. The times vary :)
This looks so fun! I went on a tour to the sandbars 2 years ago. We are making a trip back this Sept and is planning on kayaking! When you get to the sandbar, how do you prevent your kayak from floating away?
We had to hold onto our kayak while we were walking around the sandbar. Nikki finally just got in and floated for a while.
You can actually rent an anchor for ~$5 to prevent the kayak from floating off. This way you don’t have to drag it around the whole time. Maholo
@@RAY360 Mahalo! That's definitely what we will do next time!
Love it! Definitely doing this and the Mokulua Islands for my honeymoon next year! May I ask if you jus used a GoPro while kayaking and on the sandbar/islands or did you also bring a different vlog cam?
How exciting! We used a gopro for the mokes and we used our vlogging camera and drone on the Sandbar. We actually ruined our first gopro at the mokes 😢 so a drybag can be useful! Aloha!
Thank you guys for making great and insightful content. You have a new subscriber. Any pointers on planning a trip there with little children?
Welcome to the channel! You can take a boat tour out to the sandbar instead of kayaking. It would be much safer with children. Thanks again for watching!
Hi, what time was this? We’re visiting in April, and we are trying to figure out if we should visit in the morning or afternoon.
Would you recommend reserving a kayak days in advance or same day? I'm looking at Kailua Beach Adventures too and flying into Oahu next week! Thanks! Awesome videos by the way!
We have done both. Where we reserved it a couple of days in advance, or just walked in. I would say to make a reservation if you can. We are seeing more tourists lately :)
We need Rain!...Very nice content
Beautiful content. Awesome drone footage! Denny, I am looking to invest in a drone. What would you recommend for a level of quality like yours?
Thanks for watching! I currently use the Mavic 2 Zoom from DJI and really enjoy it! I think the DJI Mini 2 is also a great option for video. I don't think you can go wrong with the DJI products. And then Nikki edits the colors a bit afterwards. Hope this helps!
@@DennyandNikki Yes. Thank you so much for the info. I appreciate it.
Hey great video you two! Denny did you have to get your drone license to be able to monetize your videos? I’m just curious I’m wanting to make my own travel channel and use drone footage.
Great video
Would you be able to share the podcast you listened to about romance in Hawaii please?
Absolutely, it's called Living the Aloha Life - Podcasting Pono in the 808
hi @6:50 i felt that
for half an hour paddling, is the water deep all the way or only not deep at the middle of the ocean when you reach sandbar?
Soo doing this with my boyfriend. We're both in oahu but "long distance" due to my job (he's military i work on a cruise ship and can't get off uugh😠) but we have so much time together when I get off in October so definitely adding this to the list✍
Oh wow! At least you both have much to look forward to in a few months 💛
I guarantee you guys well have an awesome time. Please do your homework before you guys go and make sure you go to Dukes in Waikiki for a drink. Say Aloha to Amy and Todd, Dukes bartenders their awesome people. Aloha....
Just wanted to let you know I love all of your content. We are planning to move to the Kailua/Kaneohe area in two years after my daughter graduates high school. Love all of the information you give about cost of living there! I am curious about your own house. Looks like you have a nice backyard area and a nice big kitchen. Do you live on base? Thanks! Keep creating!
Thank you so much!! How exciting that you guys are planning to move here. We might do a tour of our home once we leave here and we actually live close to Kailua.
Great vid, thank you. Been to Oahu a couple times, but didn't get to go to Kane'ohe Bay. Will add that to my bucket list for next time ... the kayak was a smart idea, as you both were able to walk across the whole sandbar. Thx for telling about the drone fly zone area. Restaurant looked great too, adding it to my list. Was in Kaua'i in Feb, and really loved that island. Hoping to retire there or Maui.
Yes we really liked the sandbar, you should definitely try to go there if you can. We also planned a trip to Kaua’i, so it’s good to hear that you liked it (that will be our first time there). Mahalo!
@@DennyandNikki Thanks ... have those on my list for Oahu. I stayed in the Koloa when in Kaua'i ... very nice little town. Did horseback riding along the beach and up into the countryside at CJM Stables at the end of Po'ipu rode in Koloa ... highly recommend it. Keoki's Paradise is a very good restaurant in that area, same as La Spezia (Italian) in the town. You'll love Wailua river and falls, Waimea canyon, the Na Pali coast and State Park, etc.
Wow! Thanks for all the recommendations. We will check them out. We can’t wait to visit Kauai!
@@DennyandNikki You're very welcome, thanks for the great vlogs of Oahu. Since you both like fresh fruits and veggies, make sure to check out the farmers markets in Kaua'i. This one in Koloa is very nice, as it's located at the Shops at Kukui'ula, where they also have island music, food, and entertainment.
poipubeach.org/business/farmers-market-kukuiula
Back in 2000, the food was soso.. Mostly fish, so if you don't enjoy fisk or spam.... lol.
The people of Hawaii don’t mind visitors. But please don’t move here. There are so many Hawaiian families that can’t afford homes because people from the main land move here and build massive homes. Now the average 3 bedroom home here costs over 900k. Way over most families can afford. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 please don’t take this comment the wrong way. It’s just hard for me to see so many Hawaiians homeless and struggling
I currently live in FL, and after watching your videos I'm thinking of moving to Hawaii too!!!
I think we got it made here in Florida. 🍻
what time did u guys arrive and leave? I like that the water is so low.
What camera do you use?
Love the vids 🙌🏽
Thanks! We use a sony a6400
Looks beautiful. Wish Hawaii wasn’t just an expensive move to make lol.
It’s beautiful, but you will use all of your savings lol
Can you do this during the winter months?
did you guys rent ur kayak or have one already? i’m coming in september and need to rent a kayak do the sandbar but idk where is the closest to rent lol
They are some kayak rentals next to He'iea State park but the company we used was Kailua Beach Adventures. You can strap the kayak to the top of your car.
@@DennyandNikki thank you!!!
This video was great. One question, how would people access the sand bar if they don't own a kayak?
You can easily rent a kayak from several companies. They will provide you with the stuff you need, to transport the kayak on your car!
What if you are not renting a car? Is there a place that they have kayak’s available right on the beach?
Hi, when would be the best time of the day (low tide) this month (May) to kayak out there? Thanks!!
We found it best to go in the morning, but it changes from day to day, so check this site before you go to get the tide report www.tide-forecast.com/locations/Mokuoloe-Kaneohe-Bay-Oahu-Island-Hawaii/tides/latest
@@DennyandNikki thank you :)
Overall would you say its safe enough..my family and I will be there next week..thanks
Do you mean the sandbar? We think so! If you and your family can swim, we think it’s safe. And if you mean Hawaii, then definitely :)
What would you recommend for the time of doing the sand bar ? Morning or afternoon ?
Where did you put in at? We’re planning to kayak to the sandbar next weekend!
And yes we’re bringing beer 🤣🤦♀️
It's going to be an amazing time! We launched from He'eia Kea boat harbor!
@@DennyandNikki oh great! We usually launch by the smaller boats down the street. 😍 maybe we’ll try launching from the boat harbor next week🤙
So, are hammerhead sharks a continual issue all over the island or just in that sandbar area? Also, is it just an issue during parts of the year or all year round?
Hiii... is safe to gonna in may lol
How hard is kayaking to sandbar? I can swim well, but just not sure how strong/scary the current feels in a kayak.
We did not experience any strong currents or waves, it is more protected in the bay. Compared to the mokes, this one was pretty easy!
Should I pack bug spray? Lol paranoid of getting bit by mosquitoes 🦟
Nikki's paranoid about mosquitoes too! It wasn't a problem on the sandbar visit though.
Hi there! How long did it take you to kayak to the sandbar? When I search on google, it says 30 min. Is that really the case?
Work on that bay I would of do it for free the tours love it
Does anyone know when low tide is on here? When's the best time to go to get a little sand?
Thank you!
What time did you guys start kayaking there?
We started kayaking around 8:00 AM from He'eia State Park.
Would you say it was tiresome to kayak there? Also, how much does the rental cost?
It's an all day event, so can be exhausting. The kayak was around $90.
No like a boat tour that can take you to the sand bar?
Yes, there are some boat tours that take you out to the sandbar. We haven't been on any though, so can't recommend any specific company.
@@DennyandNikki ok thanks!
Any recommendations for Kayak renting?
Aloha! We always have a wonderful experience with Kailua Beach Adventures. They are very knowledgeable and have great customer service.
What’s the best website to book a tour to the sand bar kaneohe?
Did he need to have his drone registered to fly I want to take mine but it ain’t registered ?
Denny did register his drone with the FAA. It’s pretty easy to do though!
@@DennyandNikki Oh ok thank you so much I want to get some nice shots out there too and thats a nice video by the way
To correct you, I am not a man and my kayaking/canoeing partner is boyfriend and he doesn’t paddle consistently and I taught him to kayak. So it’s not always the men that are paddling the boat.
where can we park the car to get there
We parked the car at the He'eia State Park boat ramp.
How do you know if you are in or out of a no fly zone?
The drone will not take off if you’re in a no fly zone. A message will pop up on the app as well.
Please let me know a good place to stay is our first time and we don't want to expend time and money thinking where to go
the trip wouldve been shorter if you were actually rowing
lol actually true, she was only recording and talking about how the trip wasn't that bad because she wasn't even rowing the whole time and just recording
bruh look how sweaty he is in 7:59 and she doesn't have a drop of sweat smh
How accessible is Kaneohe Sandbar?! Is it doable for not so fit people like you guys are?????
We think it’s pretty accessible. If you can kayak, you’ll be fine 😉
If you go to Joe’s ask for Elon- da best
We love this place too ;) See you on our Chanel
What’s the name of that song? Please reply!
What part in the video? :) I will look it up for you
@@DennyandNikki it’s around the 40 second mark. It sounds niiiice.
@@flusteredtorchic9024 Ok found it! The song is called 'porto Cristo' by zerbin
It appears you have deleted my comment. The entire sandbar is inside the TFR. I was just trying to be friendly and let you know. I’m sure you will delete this as well. Have fun in Hawaii!
We did not delete your comment
You cannot hike the stairs it’s illegal
You’re right, it is! Stepping and walking on the stairs is illegal.
Why aren’t you wearing life jackets? People who drown are often the best swimmers.
Let’s collab guys?
Stop talking about hammerheads!!! hhmmmm not a nice thing to say like that. Could have been nicer. It is the second time I hear him talking like that. Is he the bossy type????
Oh no, he is the sweetest guy I’ve ever met! If anything, I would be the bossy type 😉
@@DennyandNikki ok good to hear that. one more question. he said that you are european. which country. holland maybe. because I remember you saying in one of your video's eating something like an oliebol, a typical dutch snack in the winter times. btw great video's. I envy you guys a lot.
@@jeromerustwijk8706 Yes, I am Dutch! It looks like you're from there too (based on your last name)? Thanks for watching!
@@DennyandNikki Haha ja goed geraden. Groetjes
