Paddle boarding with turtles - We saw so many turtles! Great activity for families and those looking for a relaxing way to spend a few hours off the beach. Elena was super helpful with the launching and collecting of the equipment at the end.

Great paddle boarding - The family had a very pleasant and fun morning paddling along the river. When we went at 10am the river was not too crowded. We saw lots of turtles and took in the landscape. Elaine helped us and was great. She gave us helpful tips for paddle boarding and where to find wildlife.

Do It - Amazing - This is now our third time with this company! Amazing every time! Turtles swimming around us. Turtles basking in the sun! Even with flood water - it’s so fun! Easy to navigate as you have two ways to go. Up the river or to the ocean! My 8 year old rocked it and good for everyone young and old! Highly Recommended

Great family time paddle boarding. Worth it! - Oahu had terrible winds and rain but not here at the river. We were lucky to have the river to ourselves. The paddle boards were stable and the river is calm with much flow. Turtles are near the bridge. Although the weather caused the river to be brown, it was super enjoyable.

What a great find this... - What a great find this was! We love eating and shopping our way through the North Shore but have never paddleboarded there. Found this while looking for a fun new adventure and so glad we did it! Our teens went out for a little less than 2 hours, paddled upstream and down to the mouth of the stream near Haleiwa harbor and they saw a ton of turtles! They wished they brought snacks but we had big Acai bowls after at Banzai Bowls. Love that you don’t have to haul the boards anywhere. You rent right on the dock and it’s a beautiful covered dock too! Cree was great at explaining everything to us and suggested coming in the morning next time to see more like manta rays too, plus less busy than the afternoon when we went. There were a few outriggers practicing out there so had to stay out of their way when they were racing. Fun to see though! Kids paddled for a little under 2 hours and that was plenty of time. Wished we had sent them with their phones in a waterproof case so we could just come back when they were done. We had drinks at Teddy’s, just a few minutes walk from there, while they paddleboarded, and checked from the bridge halfway through to make sure they hadn’t left yet. Thanks Cree! See you next time!

Adventure awaits - So much fun! We were beginners and were given excellent instructions from Julie our guide. She made sure we felt comfortable and secure before launching. The river is beautiful and perfect for paddle boarding. Turtles swam all around us and it was fun watching the fish jumping. There is a rope swing that people swung and jumped into the river from. People watched and cheered as kids and adults showed off! Such a great way to enjoy the quaint little town on the North Shore of Oahu.
