Had a great experience. We (my kids and me) weren’t sure we could master the paddle boards, but we did! It was a nice low key paddle down the river and back even though we got caught in a passing downpour. Going out into the bay was a bit trickier with the waves from the ocean/boats. The girl (didn’t get her name) at the launch/dock was awesome! Great at getting us set up and launched twice.

Evelyn_M, Mar 2024

It was a lot of fun , relaxing and we saw turtles which made the day! Great area to hit the North Shore. The young lady who helped us was very knowledgeable, sorry we don’t remember her name.

Top banana SUP experience! Great staff, great location, beautiful weather (oh, and sunbathing turtles). What’s not to love!

SUP with turtles

Jeanette_B, Feb 2024

Relaxing, easy SUP up and back down river. Ate lunch on the river as we floated back. Look out for rocks if you go up river as you approach the second bridge. Saw three sea turtles on the river! Also saw a lot of birds and fish near shore.

Tyler was so friendly and...

River rain paddle

Jeff_P, Aug 2023

Fun Trip!

Audrey_P, Aug 2023

My husband, cousin, and I went together! We paddled up the river and got to see 2 turtles!! I asked for the guys recommendation if we should go up or downriver, and he said definitely up. Something else that was nice is we got there 45 minutes early and they let us start our reservation earlier! We set off on the river about 9:30 (original reservation at 10) and agreed to be back 30 minutes earlier. Overall, a great experience customer service wise!

Fun kayak tour

Saraswathy_R, Jul 2023

Kayaks in good condition, lots of turtles! Ocean kayaking also great! Appropriate for all levels. Not much instruction on how to paddle, but we probably could have gotten instruction if we needed it. Overall highly recommended!

North shore SUP fun and enjoyable experience

MaddieJane_R, Jul 2023

Great service at the launch pad for SUP down a lovely river off the ocean. Had a great time. Enjoyed the experience. Will definitely rent there again.

Amazing spot, great...

Verena_B, Jul 2023

Amazing spot, great people. Saw lot of turtles and very beautiful scenery. The shop owners are very easy going and accommodating

Easy goin paddle board adventure.

Lucrecia_R, Jun 2023

Two hours of mild exercise up & down the river with the turtles & lots of fish. Slow paced, relaxing excursion to bring balance to an otherwise full schedule, for a relatively small fee.

Easy and laidback

Laura_A, Apr 2023

Very easy to find. We left our shoes on the deck and launched off. Went up and down the river for about an hour - plenty of time! Friendly staff and good value.

Family turtle event

Wonderful relaxing excursion The attendant was wonderful and very attentive. Saw turtles and taught 4 year old how to kayak.

It was a relaxing trip...

Michael_S, Sep 2022

It was a relaxing trip for us because we had not kayaked before and wanted to learn. We saw a few turtles but the water in the inlets are not clear, but that wasn’t an issue for us. We just enjoyed some family time!!!

Response from Host, Sep 2022

Thank you for the wonderful review, so good to hear you enjoyed the adventure, Aloha!

Lisa_A, Aug 2022

So peaceful and a way to talk with my 20 year old son and have time with him as we enjoyed nature- turtles, rope swings and beautiful homes built along the canal. Also got me some exercise.

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Wonderful, thank you for the review, Aloha

Tina_M, May 2022

Great staff and fun time with the family. Saw a couple of sea turtles too. My reluctant grumpy teenager enjoyed himself too 😀

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Haha, we have a grumpy teenager as well and it's not easy to get them away from their devices and outside for some fun. Thank you for the review!

Flexible, accommodating, so fun!

Annika_P, May 2022

We got food poisoning and they were so flexible and willing to let us transfer our reservation to another day. They were very helpful and understanding. We had so much fun and saw 4 turtles! We had so much fun and loved using the rope swing into the river too!

Response from Host, May 2022

Fantastic, good to hear we were able to accommodate you so you did not have to miss this unique experience.

Fun on the water

Teaira_D, Dec 2021

Our instructor was funny and very helpful. This was my families first time paddle boarding/ kayaking and he put everyone at ease. We all had a great experience!

Response from Host, Jan 2022

Wonderful to hear, thank you & Aloha!

A wonderful experience

Milan_P, Nov 2021

Wonderful service. We made an online booking mistake (we booked an option we did not want), and they were so easy going to straighten it out. Saw a turtle in the river (shell was about 4 feet long). A wide variety of trees right and left along the river. River was quiet, and not many people there.

Response from Host, Jan 2022

Excellent, thank you for the review!
