So much fun! We were beginners and were given excellent instructions from Julie our guide. She made sure we felt comfortable and secure before launching. The river is beautiful and perfect for paddle boarding. Turtles swam all around us and it was fun watching the fish jumping. There is a rope swing that people swung and jumped into the river from. People watched and cheered as kids and adults showed off! Such a great way to enjoy the quaint little town on the North Shore of Oahu.

We rented paddle boards for a couple of hours and had a great time. The staff person (Julie I think) was very friendly and helpful. Equipment was in good condition. We saw sever turtles and a manta ray at the mouth of the river.
One of the highlights of our trip to Hawaii! Hale’iwa was a great little town to walk around and eat and shop in after as well. Highly recommend!
This was super easy. Rod was really nice and got us set up, and gave us a suggested route. Nice way to spend a couple hours. The river is fairly protected so even though it was a bit windy, it was still really manageable.
Rod was so patient helping our large group get outfitted with the proper paddles and boards. He took lots of group pics for us at the end of our activity and was just overall very friendly and happy to be around!
Such a fu ln relaxing experience! We were able to see a couple turtles and even a manta ray! Would definitely do it again!
Friendly staff. Great experience . Not crowded. Rental is 2 hrs but we traveled and came back in 1 hr.
Super fun and chill. Saw sea turtles and took some good pics along the river. Fun activity for couples and even families.
Fun paddle board experience. If the river we were on was longer, I’d give it 5 stars, but we were able to make it to the end and back in less than an hour.
This is now our third time with this company!
Amazing every time! Turtles swimming around us. Turtles basking in the sun! Even with flood water - it’s so fun! Easy to navigate as you have two ways to go. Up the river or to the ocean!
My 8 year old rocked it and good for everyone young and old!
Highly Recommended
What a great family fun activity water was smooth tracking cruiser-style we loved it. Elena was an awesome host we also saw sea turtles ♥️ thnx so much Haleiwa Paddle Boarding so much fun!!
What a great find this was! We love eating and shopping our way through the North Shore but have never paddleboarded there. Found this while looking for a fun new adventure and so glad we did it! Our teens went out for a little less than 2 hours, paddled upstream and down to the mouth of the stream near Haleiwa harbor and they saw a ton of turtles! They wished they brought snacks but we had big Acai bowls after at Banzai Bowls. Love that you don’t have to haul the boards anywhere. You rent right on the dock and it’s a beautiful covered dock too! Cree was great at explaining everything to us and suggested coming in the morning next time to see more like manta rays too, plus less busy than the afternoon when we went. There were a few outriggers practicing out there so had to stay out of their way when they were racing. Fun to see though! Kids paddled for a little under 2 hours and that was plenty of time. Wished we had sent them with their phones in a waterproof case so we could just come back when they were done. We had drinks at Teddy’s, just a few minutes walk from there, while they paddleboarded, and checked from the bridge halfway through to make sure they hadn’t left yet. Thanks Cree! See you next time!

Wonderful experience renting paddle boards from Blue Planet! Super friendly staff, very stable boards and a very calm river to paddle up/down! Saw a few turtles as well!
Check-in was easy, and owners were courteous and experienced. It was a beautiful paddle of both the river and the bay.
I reserved this experience because it was advertised as a GROUP EVENT. My nephew was alone and wanted to SUP with others. When we arrived he was given a Board and pushed into the river (which is horribly smelly and dirty) by himself. When I stated that I paid for a GROUP EXPERIENCE the young man said NOPE. I could have saved the $35 and sent him to POKAI’I BAY with my SUP Board for free. I WAS EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED with this experience.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you for your feedback, I can understand your disappointment since you assumed the paddle rental product was a group activity. Our goal is for our customers to not only be fully satisfied but to become advocates for our business since we depend on word of mouth referrals. I'm trying to understand if something in the product description made you believe that the paddle rental was a group activity, or if you did a search on TripAdvisor for a group activity and our paddle rental product was recommended to you.
Please let me know if there is something in the offering description that was misleading so I can fix it. Please let me know if there is anything we can do for you. Aloha, Robert S. (owner/ operator)
Beautiful place to paddleboard and hang out. There is a bridge to jump off. They were very friendly and nice.
Julie was extremely friendly and welcoming! She was efficient and made sure everyone got started on time without a long wait. We came last year and had to do it again. To be paddlebaording behind the iconic bridge....fabulous.
Tylor is really kind and made our trip iconic. He helped really nice and kind and we really enjoyed trip
Luke Hambright was fun, funny, and he made the experience enjoyable. We got to see some sea turtles!
Awesome staff and super helpful. Tons of sea turtles relaxing, was a perfect experience even solo. In a group or by yourself this is a must do at North Shore.
The employees are so nice, i love this river to paddle board thru, this place is awesome to rent and stream thru, def a must
To stop here when in Haleiwa
Service was great, very easy transactions. Friendly people. Water was very salty but to be expected.
Very easy and friendly check in. No tour, just initial instructions and you’re off. Perfect for our family to explore and enjoy paddle boarding. We saw a lot of turtles which was fun. Would highly recommend and would come back again. Cute area!
No explanation of where to go. Just hurried us into kayaks after we waited 20 minutes for them (it wasn’t busy).
We had an amazing time. The water is calm and we saw so many sea turtles. We were in Hawaii for a soccer tournament with my daughter’s team and after it was over all the girls and mom went paddle boarding for some group bonding. It was a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure for whole group.
The girls experienced a day of fun, laughter, and bonding. A memory they will look back on in the years to come
What a fun time paddling up the river. Easy for everyone. Kids paddleboarded while the parents kayaked. The staff was super nice and helpful. I would totally recommend this to anyone who wants a fun/relaxing experience.
It was a nice calm paddle down the river, we saw turtles and did a rope swing and jumped from the bridge, 2 hours was plenty of time, the workers were helpful and efficient! this was able to accommodate our large group of 20!
Saw lots of sea turtles! Max was great, super helpful! Would definitely recommend, I'd never paddleboarded before and it was a great place to start!
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).
