Awesome family outing

Corinne_C, Aug 2023

Ivy and Riley were fantastic instructors and guides for such a fun and memorable outing. We had a beautiful evening and saw several turtles and fish. Sooo fun and relaxing!

Response from Host, Dec 2023

The wildlife on the Anahulu really is incredible! Thank you!

Best paddle board ever

truth08, Jul 2023

Cruising the ocean with pretty light was awesome. We saw more than 8 turtles swimming around us, tons of stars in the sky was beautiful! Overall Heidi and Laila were amazing crew, even my 7 year old girl was able to paddle by herself and enjoy. Thanks for making our trip so memorable!!!

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Thank you for a great review! The turtles love the board's lights as almost as much as we love the stars. It really feels unreal doesn't it?

learned a lot about trees...

Jose_J, Jun 2023

learned a lot about trees and what the provided for the island. We also saw turtles, fish, etc… I would recommend this paddle boarding tour it’s really fun and relaxing!

GLOW-ing with turtles and stars!

Sylvia_O, Jun 2023

Rainbow watersports is a fabulous little company! Love that it's run out of their rainbow can along the beach. We decided to do some paddle boarding for the first time and it was awesome. Megan was a fantastic tour guide and teacher. I felt super comfortable on the board and got a hang of it quickly and easily. Didn't even fall over (and I'm the clumsiest of the clumsy!) Doing the glow SUP was by far the coolest thing ever. Riding off at sunset and coming back under the dark night sky to stargaze in the open ocean: breathtaking. Highly recommend it. Saw bunch of turtles and fish, and even had pictures taken for us! 10/10, do it!

Really fun!

Mitchell_L, Nov 2022

We had a really great time on the twilight tour. Our guide Kate was incredible. Super knowledgeable, patient, and funny! We had never been paddle boarding before and this was a perfect introduction. Kate was able to tailor her instructions to each person’s skill level. We all had fun and felt safe and secure while trying something new. Highly recommend giving this tour a try!

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Thank you! Our friendly instructors tailor each experience to your group to give you a magical experience!

A lifetime memory

Gidget_U, Sep 2022

No matter what swim level you are do not let that stop you. Megan and Andrew were very attentive to those who are not comfortable in the water. This is an experience that your grandchildren would want to hear about

Response from Host, Sep 2022

Wow, what a compliment! Thanks a million for the review—we are stoked to help you create that lasting memory.

Best experience in Hawaii- a must do list

Sue_M, Sep 2022

Beautiful setting and perfect experience to share with friends or your love. Great hosts who were caring and fun, not to mention had some good jokes to share.

Response from Host, Sep 2022

Glad you had some laughs! Thank you!

Turtles!!

Matt_N, Apr 2022

Turtles! The guides, Kate and Andin were great! We saw at least 20 sea turtles - so fun to have them swimming right beside you 😊

Response from Host, Apr 2022

"Turtle River" is a blast! Thank you!

Amazing trip + amazing...

Stanley_S, Mar 2022

Amazing trip + amazing tour guide. Would definitely recommend to anyone who comes to Hawaii and wants to enjoy the nature.

Response from Host, Mar 2022

Thanks a million for the review. So stoked to make your "Recommend!" list!

Dreadie was a fantastic...

Laelia_F, Mar 2022

Dreadie was a fantastic guide- made the whole experience fun and relaxing. Thanks for the pictures! 👌

Response from Host, Mar 2022

Thanks! Pictures are awesome :)

So relaxing

Tawnie_R, Jan 2022

I'll be honest, I was just "meh" about doing this activity, but my adult daughter wanted to do it so I obliged. I'm so glad we went! I had never paddle boarded before, nor had she, so I wasn't sure what to expect. When I learned it was actually in the ocean I thought - um, no, but it was very smooth where we got into the water and we knelt until we got to the river and then stood as we went up the river. I was really feeling myself, pretty darn proud for standing up, got a little cocky, and tried it as we reentered the ocean and fell on my butt and into the water (there's always one in every group)! My daughter and I both loved the whole experience (minus the fall+butt=water); we saw green sea turtles and the trip up the river was so relaxing and beautiful. Our guides were great!

Response from Host, Jan 2022

We are so stoked that you had a great first paddleboarding experience! Our tours begin in the peaceful ocean, where we paddle though a calm bay and into a gorgeously lush and relaxing river. And no worries about the fall—even our instructors get wet sometimes :)

Twilight paddle was awesome

Amanda_L, Dec 2021

Seeing the sea turtles, looking at the stars, and best of all spending time with my daughter. Thank you to Kate and Megan for an amazing paddle!

Response from Host, Jan 2022

Families are the best! So glad that you had a great time :)

Unique experience but bit pricy

Prakruti_D, Dec 2021

It was an unique experience but not sure was worth $145. We were there right on the time and other two joining us were not. We as a group of 4 were led by the instructor but was not compensated extra time that we missed as other two were almost 30 mins late. Our trip ended after 1.5 hrs and I was disappointed as it was not our fault, we were there on the time. They promise to take pictures but she took two pictures in the water that were blurry. No pictures of standing and paddling. It is definitely unique experience with breathtaking view but there are sun set paddle boardings that you probably can do with $60 or so…

Response from Host, Dec 2021

Aloha, Dave, thank you for your review. We aim for 5-star reviews, so I am so sorry we fell short. I can assure you your time did not get shortened due to the lateness of the other guests. The total time includes the beginning tutorial, which you were able to receive, but the other guests missed out on, and the experience ended at the scheduled time. As for the photos, I sincerely apologize. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Please reach out to us so we can make this up to you.

Paddle boarding worth trying!

Edgar_H, Sep 2021

We definitely wanted to do some SUP while in Hawaii, especially for our first time! I did a quick google search and found the Viator site which had Rainbow WaterSports listed on it. I saw the GLOW SUP at twilight and said "hell yeah" how could we not do this!? It had great reviews and cool pics, so we signed up. They kept in contact with us prior to our reservation and were even nice enough to help us find them if we had any issues. The drive from Waikiki to North Shore was beautiful (a bit traffic-y, but it could've been worse). Our instructors were awesome and very friendly! You even get to hang out with Thor (you'll know when you see him). This is a great way to enjoy the North Shore's beautiful sunset, turtles, tranquility, and amazing nighttime sky. If you're new to SUP this is definitely the way to go for your first time out!

Response from Host, Oct 2021

Hi! GLOW paddling is definitely an all-around phenomenal experience. We are glad you enjoyed experiencing the magic of the island's land, sea, and sky with us! Thank you.

Sooo stinking cool!

Nathan_B, Sep 2021

We had so much fun with our guides on this trip! They did such a good job catering to the skill level of the group and adjusting our paddle accordingly. Me and my partner both thought this was one of the coolest excursions we have done on our vacation!!!

Response from Host, Oct 2021

Thanks a million for the review! We agree - our instructors are way COOL and always eager to cater to any skill level :) So glad you has a sensational experience!

An experience of a lifetime!

Yvonne_H, Sep 2021

Of the 7 days we spent on Oahu, twilight paddle boarding was the highlight of our trip. Starting with our instructor, Kate, she was one of the kindest, most patient coaches we could have hoped for. We had never paddle boarded before and she made us feel safe, comfortable and confident in our abilities. She assured us our boards were stable and that we wouldn't fall off.....and we never did. Between the beautiful sunset, the moon, the stars, sea turtles, puffer fish and even a hammer head shark, it was an experience of a lifetime. Twilight paddle boarding was filled with priceless moments that we will cherish forever.

Response from Host, Sep 2021

Aloha! We are so glad you had such a fantastic time! Twilight glow paddling is definitely a magical experience, and the wildlife you spotted must have been way cool. Thanks a million for your review!

Fantastic!

Kelly_P, Sep 2021

Absolutely hands down best excursion I have ever done on vacation. I lost count of the number of turtles we paddled with on this night time adventure. The water was like glass and the scenery was out of this world! I loved every second of this tour and would give it 10 stars if possible. Our tour guide Kate was kind, knowledgable, and so accommodating. Do yourself a favor and book this tour!

Response from Host, Sep 2021

Aloha Kelly! We are thrilled that you were able to experience the beauty of the Analulu stream. We are known to have some of the friendliest instructors on the island. Thank you for the review!

Great experience going out during sunset. Instructors were very helpful and accommodating.

Jessica_Z, Aug 2021

Paddling out during sunset was a great experience. Unfortunately getting pictures while paddle boarding isn't ideal unless you're experienced.

Response from Host, Sep 2021

Aloha Jessica! Thank you for the review. We are so glad you had a stellar time! Fortunately, our instructors take a camera with them so you don't have to worry about taking photos while on our excursion. Photos are free of charge for most lessons. Aloha!

Incredible experience

sarit_s, Aug 2021

My family of 6 (ages 12 they 50) had the best time. None of us is an experienced paddle boarder but Heidi and Kezia made us feel comfortable on the water. We saw tons of turtles! And the night time paddling with lights was super special.

Response from Host, Sep 2021

Hi! Thank you for the review! It is always so fun to paddle with families, and we are stoked you had a fantastic time!

Well-worth doing!

SDLandry, Jul 2021

Kate and Matt were excellent teachers and guides in this experience. We had no previous paddle-boarding experience and they made this experience spectacular. We really appreciate that they took pics of our family throughout! Well worth the trip up to the North Shore to experience.
