One of our favorite experiences during our week of excursions. Our guide, Riley was awesome. The river is super peaceful and it’s filled with turtles and local birds. The dogs are so sweet and funny. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Super cute, memorable and fun experience! Tyler was very informative and even took pics and videos of all of us!

Once in a lifetime experience!

I cannot say enough good things about this tour. Out of all of the things we did on our trip this was our favorite! Tyler is very nice and helpful. The three dogs we got to paddle with were super cute and sweet. Dobby is very energetic and hops from board to board for all the treats he can get. Sandy and Phoenix are more calm and sit on your board patiently. This tour should really be called dogs and turtles. In the evening the turtles come into the river you paddle on. We saw probable 35 turtles in the hour we were on the river. The turtles would poke their head up two - three feet from your board. The river itself is calm and relaxing. It sprinkled a little bit while we were on the boards but it added to the experience instead of raining us out. Thank you Tyler for this wonderful experience.! I have already told multiple people about this experience. I hope his business continues to grow!

Addicted to it!

Amazing experience! We had so much fun! Our guide was so knowledgeable about the area, and had a great connection with his dogs and all of us. The dogs were amazing. Highlight of our trip for my teens!

Amazing experience!

Kali_C, Feb 2025

This was amazing! Tyler is a genuine soul and loves his dogs and people. He has a real passion for rescues in particular and is kind to share them with us to learn how to paddle. Couldn’t give it more stars or I would! Do not miss this if you are a dog lover. 100/10 recommend!

INCREDIBLE way to make memories

Cindy_L, Aug 2024

Wow, just wow! I can’t articulate how this SUP experience with Tyler and his crew of rescue dogs (Yuki I miss you already), was truly the highlight of our trip! I’ve been to Oahu many times but experiencing this with my 7 year old son was a first. Tyler was amazing and patient with us both and this was so therapeutic and soothing for the soul and body. The sea turtles and sunset were all icing on the cake! I’m already planning to book with Tyler on my next trip. Don’t snooze on this incredible memory making experience. Mahalo Tyler and team for getting me hooked on SUP and your love for the cutest rescues, simply makes my heart smile!

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Mahalo Cindy! Yuki misses you too! We're looking forward to seeing you in the near future. Aloha

A must do if you are in Oahu!!
