1.Haleiwa River Paddle Board Rental with Blue Planet Adventure Co.

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 215 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $40Our pick

Review of Haleiwa River Paddle Board Rental with Blue Planet Adventure Co., including turtles, equipment, price, route tips, and practical details.

“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.”
