What To Expect
Your 2- hour paddleboard experience begins with a brief lesson on land before entering calm water. We travel up the Anahulu river, home of the Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles. Sunset is the PRIME TIME to see turtles, since they meander back up river at the end of the day. These gentle giants grace the river, coming up occasionally to say "hi".
Learn the skills and techniques of stand up paddling as you travel along the calm river.
Paddle against an awe-striking Hawaiian sunset as the clouds change from pink to purple. Photos are included and shared directly to your phone.
Your guide is a Red Cross certified lifeguard, with extensive stand up paddle training. Lifejackets are available upon request. No mosquitoes or strong current in the river. Our paddling area is rarely affected by waves.
