Wonderful way to experience an O'ahu river!

My daughter and I had a wonderful time with Carol! She was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. We also saw several honū in the river!

Aimee took me to a calm...

Aimee took me to a calm river by the north shore. We got to see turtles sleeping on the side. It was very calm and relaxing tour. This is good for anyone new to paddle board. Aimee gave me lots of recommendations in Oahu island.

Outstanding Surfing Lesson

Our daughter had a 2-hour private lesson with Aimee. She was fantastic! Our daughter had taken a 3-hour lesson in California in June with a group, but the time was split between everyone. Since she caught on so quickly, this time we did a private so she could advance more quickly. Aimee was so easy to work with - taught her how to read waves and all the other things she needs to know to confidently surf on her own now. Highly, highly recommend North Shore Surf Girls!

Paddleboard adventure!

So much fun!! Our teacher was super nice and out-going! Made paddle board fun and easy to learn! She made sure we were all safe all the time and gave us tips. We even saw some turtles while she was saving some birds. She was so lovely! Definitely recommend!

Great tour!!

My best friend & I booked a great tour with this company! The owner was so pleasant & informative and our guide Kaya was wonderful. Little did we know that she’s a competitive surfer who masters 30-40 foot waves! I had paddle boarded before but my friend was a beginner. Kaya was patient & walked her through each step. We met other locals, saw gorgeous plant life up the river, and saw so many turtles, young & old. I highly recommend this tour to experience the locals, their passion for island life and the turtles. Bring reef/fish safe sunscreen that is healthy for sea life. Then go get a well deserved açaí bowl at Bonzeye nearby. A perfect day in the north shore!

Would choose to use NSSG every time!

Great communication and affordable pricing. Carol and Josh were friendly and kind, patient and encouraging, and they made it a comfortable and enjoyable experience for my inexperienced teenagers.

Awesome time!

Our family had such a great time! Charlotte, our guide was so patient with us and accommodating with our lack of paddleboarding experience. We had such an amazing experience that we will never forget!

In great hands!!

Carol is such an expert at what she does! I learned so much in the first hour that I was coached by her. I felt comfortable, safe, and by the end of the lesson I was able to get up on a few waves on my own!! Definitely recommend North Shore Surf Girls!
