The staff was amazing. Very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. They helped make our experience most enjoyable and memorable.
We saw more turtles than we could imagine! They were constantly sticking their heads above water as if they were greeting us.
The waters were calm and the kayaks and paddle boards were well maintained.
I highly recommend this activity with Sea and Board Sports Hawaii in Haleiwa. I give them a 10 out of 10.

FAQ
Q. Is there a place to keep our belongings?
A. No. Please pack light, as there are no lockers or dry bags available to store anything you don't bring on the kayak.
Q. Is this activity suitable for beginners?
A. Yes! Even if you aren't booking a private or semi-private tour, groups are generally small, and instructors will take their time to guide you and give you pointers. Each tour begins with a short safety and paddling instruction before you get into the water.
Q. Will we see turtles on this tour?
A. While not guaranteed, green sea turtles can often be spotted swimming around Waialua Bay and Anahulu River.
Q. Can I still participate if I don't know how to swim?
A. Yes, non-swimmers can still participate as long as we are notified at the time of booking. Your lifeguard-certified instructor will make arrangements to accommodate you and keep you safe during your water activity.
