Turtle's Paddle Adventures

Turtle's Paddle Adventures offers Stand Up Paddle (SUP) lessons on the Island of Oahu at two of the MOST SPECTACULAR locations in Hawaii. Both are just a short and beautiful 45 minute drive into the Hawaiian countryside from Waikiki. Kahana Bay is known as one of Hawaii's best kept secrets. It is here that you will begin your paddle adventure with us. Our lessons last for 2 EXCITING, FUN FILLED hours and begin with a short land lesson. Then we hit the water, launching in the CALM, FLAT stream where the instructor will continue to teach you different stroke techniques, stances, and turns while we tour the GORGEOUS stream leading into the jungle 3/4 of a mile toward the mountains... going around several bends in the stream, and ducking under tree branches. The session will end with us paddling out into the bay and landing back on the beach at the parking lot where we met. We have now opened a new location at the historic Haleiwa Beach Park on the north shore. This location also starts out on calm, flat water on the Ana Hulu Stream and ends in the bay. This location has many green sea turtles to paddle with. You will paddle under the famous double rainbow bridge that has been in many movies. Haleiwa also has a spectacular sunset which makes for an awesome sunset paddle. We are super stoked to spread our passion for stand up paddling, and look forward to seeing you soon! Please see our website to submit your stand up paddle lesson and tour request forms. Mahalo nui loa and aloha!

Hawaiian Ocean Adventures

Aloha, we are proud to be a Hawaiian owned business. We are permitted to run cultural ocean activities in the state of Hawaii. Our Captains and crew are certified, safety is our #1 priority. Learn about our culture in a true authentic way. We hand built all our Hawaiian sailing canoes, much like our ancestors did thousands of years ago. This activity combines the adventure of sailing the beautiful blue green waters of our islands and the unique cultural experience of sailing on a vessel that has been used by Hawaiians for generations. Great for all levels of experience, kid friendly. While on board, you will learn about the area, how Hawaiians used these vessels, sit back and relax or paddle along with us. We also have kayaks, stand up boards and snorkel gear. Mahalo for supporting Hawaiian owned businesses.

Very nice and helpful. Made sure we were comfortable riding in the parking lot and gave good suggestions of where to ride. They were a little hard to contact. We scheduled online and wanted to change the time but could never get in touch with them so we had to go at our original time but once we got there, they were great.

Kualoa Ranch is an absolutely gorgeous place, with amazing tours, amazing tours guides, and amazing sites! My family is a big Walt Disney World fan, and the Movie Sites Tour (we didn't do the premium one) had a lot in common with some of the rides there. It had the humor of Jungle Cruise, and the animals of Kilimanjaro Safaris. Shout out to our fantastic tour guide Stephanie, who had an amazing sense of humor and made the tour one of the best parts of our trip.
