Great experience!

This was a great intro to paddle boarding. The river was so peaceful and pretty. We saw quite a few turtles. Our guide Jacob was patient and knowledgeable and took great photos for us.

Must-do Paddleboard Experience

I booked the sunset paddleboarding experience for my boyfriend and I while we were on Oahu, and it absolutely exceeded my expectations. It was such a relaxing and intimate experience as it was just us two, with our guide Jared. He did such a wonderful job getting us started and explaining what we needed to do before paddling out. It was such a beautiful time of day to paddleout, and since we paddled into the river the water was really calm making it such a relaxing trip. Jared told us so much awesome stuff about the history of the island and the culture, and we had such a pleasant conversation with him while paddling. He is really such a cool and genuine person, so we enjoyed talking with him just as much as the paddleboarding and sunset. We were also very fortunate to see so many turtles while out, and even got to jump from a rope swing into the river. After paddling into the river for a while, we turned back to catch the sunset at the perfect time. He took so many pictures and video along the way, and we even got a sunset picture together back on the beach. If you are considering paddleboarding while on Oahu, I highly recommended booking with them!

Forget the aquarium

Meghan’s positive energy helped me see so many turtles and manta rays for a wonderful sunset SUP experience in North shore!

Fabulous trip with teens

After some brief instructions we headed up the river where we saw turtles and learned a bit about the local flora and fauna. Paddled back down in time to see sunset from our boards. Kate and Matt were great guides. Our 17 year old girls had a great time!

Highly recommend - a great experience

My family of 4 did the sunset paddle with Heidi as our instructor. We had so much fun and saw so many turtles. Heidi was an excellent instructor. All but one of us had never paddle boarded before and her instruction was amazing. While paddling she shared info on all of the nature around us. We would definitely recommend paddling with Rainbow Watersports.

What's not to love?

Loved the sunset paddle. We didn't expect the turtles or the photos for that matter and we thought the photos were really good. As for the tens of turtles swimming around us, just magical. A really cool group running it, stunning sites, safe and easy to learn, 100% would recommend.

Yes, yes, yes!!

Our guide, Megan, was kind and personable. I’ve paddleboarded before and learned a lot through her brief instruction, which made my paddle easier than expected. The location was beautiful! We saw 4 turtles sunbathing on the bank, 2 turtles swimming near our board, and a manta ray that swam right below our board! Plus lots of fish and birds. The timing of the paddle was perfect and relaxing, and the sunset was stunning. 10/10 recommend!

Hawaiian flora and fauna are unlike any other, and our instructors are here to help you experience it to the max. Mahalo!
