Itinerary
Our guided tour includes stand-up paddleboarding with a chance to snorkel and discover what lies underneath the surface of the water. It’s a chance for visitors and residents to get an up-close and personal view of what Hawaii has to offer.
While stand-up paddling may have developed in various places around the world, the modern surfing tradition has undeniable Polynesian ancestry. In the 1940s, surf instructors in Waikiki like Duke Kahanamoku and Leroy and Bobby AhChoy would take paddles and stand on their boards to get a better view of the surfers in the water.
Located on the famous North Shore, we will adventure into the longest watercourse on the island of Oahu, the Anahulu River also known as the Anahulu Stream.
This ancient Hawaiian stream, is a highway for the Hawaiian green sea turtles who use this water way as a safe haven from predators as they rest from the long ocean voyages on the Pacific. You will likely see them swimming, and resting on the banks of the stream and basking in the warm Hawaiian sun.
This stand up paddleboard lesson and tour is perfect for the beginner stand-up paddleboarder.

We did see turtles but the water was not clear. The distance was about right and quiet down on the river. We did have to carry the boards to and from the water which I think the guides should do as a service. Also, there's no actual building it's just a van that shows up at the beach. We drove back and forth looking for the address, don't do that.

This was the highlight of our trip! We saw so many turtles and the rope swing is a must. Highly recommend for anyone of all abilities.
Steve and James were professional, knowledge and made our experience fun and 5 star! The 7 of us had an absolute blast.

The entire trip was incredible. We started at 4 and we’re able to watch the sunset from the water. Great for inexperienced paddle boarders like ourselves. Saw a lot of turtles and our guide Steve kept us away from any hazards (shallow areas, rocks, etc) we might not have known about. 10/10

I love to SUP! Been doing it since 2008 and I didn't want a tour with people who were beginners so I booked a private tour with Steve. From the first phone call Steve offered detailed information and told me exactly what we would be doing. I was solo and he made me feel so comfortable. We talked the whole time. We paddled in waves, open ocean and in the river. I can't count how many turtles we saw. We even encountered a manta ray. AMAZING. I cannot say enough! Two days later, I brought my husband and we went in the Outrigger Canoe. Fantastic experience. My husband has NEVER been able to get up on a paddleboard. After our outrigger experience, Steve dedicated himself to teaching my husband and he did it! I cannot thank Steve enough. Now we can do this wonderful activity together. All because my husband finally trusted someone to teach him after so many years. Big mahalo, Steve! We will be back ;-)

Steve is the man! He’s so nice and welcoming. My partner and I did the sunset paddle board tour. We were a bit nervous because it was our first time and we do not know how to swim. However, he was very reassuring and gave great instructions. We saw a bunch of sea turtles and the sunset at the end was the icing on top. Oh and we didn’t fall off once! 10/10 would recommend.

This was amazing! We had signed up to do stand up paddle boarding, but they had a new outrigger canoe that they offered us as well. We chose that and loved it! We saw a ton of sea turtles, at one point three in one area! And one swam right next to me! It was an incredible experience!
