North Shore Guided Twilight Glow & Sunset Stand Up Paddle - Rainbow Watersports
Very Cool and Relaxed Experience
Reviewed by: TurtleCouple, 2024/01/07Had a great time and conversation with our guide. A lovely relaxing paddle up the river filled with big adorable sea turtles. On the way back out, with lights on we got to watch schools of fish swim beneath the boards and I even got to see a baby Hammer head shark swim beneath me.

North Shore Guided Twilight Glow & Sunset Stand Up Paddle - Rainbow Watersports
FAVORITE ACTIVITY ON OAHU
Reviewed by: TravelGoddess , 2024/01/06 [Reviewed by HawaiiActivities.com Staff]
This activity is my favorite activity on Oahu. You start the paddle as the sun is setting, and end when it's dark. You are guided by LED lights on the bottom of the board, that illuminate the ocean below you. Making it visible to see so much sea life. On this paddle I have seen MANY turtles, manta rays, fish, jellyfish, and even small reef sharks (not to worry they are small and harmless).
This is truly a one of a kind experience that is so much fun! The guides are extremely knowledgeable of the area, and not to mention very personable. You can tell they love their job! They make sure everyone is comfortable and safe, which makes this tour so enjoyable.
No paddle board experience? No need, the guides will instruct you along the way, and make sure you don't feel pressured to do anything you don't want to do. I would recommend this paddle to any one who likes an adventure, or anyone who is looking to step outside of their comfort zone.

North Shore Clear Bottom Kayak Tour & Turtle Watch from Haleiwa Beach
Clear Bottom Kayaking w/ Snorkeling.
Reviewed by: Scott, 2023/07/10We did the clear bottom kayak and snorkeling.
The weather on the north shore can be a little unpredictable, so keep that in mind. Steve gave us a quick lesson and we were on our way.
My wife and I had a great time, and would recommend this to anyone looking to get in the water and see some sea turtles!

North Shore Clear Bottom Kayak Tour & Turtle Watch from Haleiwa Beach
Fun and Turtles!
Reviewed by: K T, 2023/06/06Had a fantastic time on this tour! Our guide was great - fun and knowledgeable - and made the whole experience worth it! The ocean, river and all around area where we kayaked were beautiful - and the icing on the cake was the abundance of turtles! One of our favourite activities and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone - and wouldn't hesitate to do it again if I was ever lucky enough to return to Oahu!

The Surf Bus North Shore Fun Tour - Snorkel, Bike, Kayak, SUP & Waterfall
North shore fun!
Reviewed by: Cara Jermstad , 2023/02/02We had a wonderful time on this adventure to the north shore on Oahu. Cousin G was our guide and he did a great job taking care of us and keeping things lively. He was so knowledgeable of the history and the area and all the ins and outs of where to go. He was really funny, too! Waimea falls was beautiful and the next stop we opted for paddle boarding. We didn't see any sea turtles, but it was still fun and peaceful. We had a small group of 10, which I don't think is usual, but it was a treat for us because we could move around easily and quickly get in and out of places. We'd highly recommend this to anyone!!

Saw some sharks
Reviewed by: Traveler , 2023/01/25The tour description says 2 hours but we were done in an hour. Saw only 2 sharks compare to other reviewers but I guess that’s better than nothing. The crew team was great and we felt safe in the cage.

Haleiwa Shark Tours - Best Shark Cage Diving in Hawaii with Local Expert Guides
Such an amazing experience!
Reviewed by: Elizabeth , 2023/01/14My husband and I had a great time. We had plenty of time in the cage and felt 100% safe. There were dozens of sharks the entire time we spent in the cage. They were so magnificent.This has been on my bucket list for quite some time. There was a huge storm that rolled in and the team was so accommodating to help me move and keep this appointment knowing how much it meant to me. It was an experience I will never forget. Thank you for this priceless memory!

The Surf Bus North Shore Fun Tour - Snorkel, Bike, Kayak, SUP & Waterfall
Great to have a tour with activities!
Reviewed by: Joy , 2022/12/05My husband and I took the North Shore Tour hoping to get a bit of everything - activities, beach, relaxation and fun. We got what we wanted and more. We had Cousin G who made everyone feel comfortable and entertained, and made the tour engaging and funny.
The tour had a good balance of free/activity time and many choices to choose from. We did the waterfall and kayaking option and was one of the highlights of our trip to Hawaii.
We also got the chance to sight see the east and north side of Oahu and had many stops for photos and breaks.
We felt like we got our moneys worth from this trip and got to see and do a lot on the island in just a 8am - 5pm timeframe.

Good tour with perfect guide
Reviewed by: Peter, 2022/11/18Uncle Kevin was a great guide, the whole group was nice and we spent more time together than expected.
The activities were so/so - and quite short for some. Also Turtle beach stop was cancelled while other stops (unplanned) took a while.
We saw a lot and learned about Hawaiian culture and life.
4 star for the tour 5 star for the guide

The Surf Bus North Shore Fun Tour - Snorkel, Bike, Kayak, SUP & Waterfall
Informative
Reviewed by: Kara, 2022/09/15Surf bus instructor, Kevin was very informative- he gave us info to places that we must see and foods/places to eat at.
Enjoyed snorkeling wish we would of seen turtles though. Kayaking time was limited we had to go back to the bus to head back to Waikiki. We did get to visit the small towns on our way to North Shore that grows fresh vegetable and fruits, I think the two stops caused us to use up time on the water activities.

Haleiwa Shark Tours - Best Shark Cage Diving in Hawaii with Local Expert Guides
Great experience
Reviewed by: Chelsea, 2022/09/13The crew was wonderful! We saw dolphins on the way out there which was a nice addition to the shark tour. When we got out to the cage we were met by about 8 sharks that stuck around the entire time we were in the cage. When we were about to leave we were able to get back into the cage because a tiger shark had approached so we got a look at her for a bit.

Incredible experience
Reviewed by: J Rivera, 2022/09/06We enjoyed this so much. It took a couple hours to calm down from the excitement of being so close to majestic sharks. Our guides were so friendly and provided a lot of information and guidance. We felt very safe during the entire experience. We also had enough time to enjoy the sharks and it never felt rushed. We saw about 10 sharks that swam calmly around the cage. We were lucky to see some dolphins on the trip back too!

Decent tour
Reviewed by: Kml, 2022/07/19A really good tour with an excellent tour guide that gave tons of Hawaiian history. The snorkeling spot was incredibly rocky and definitely not for a beginner or child. Loved all the hawaiin history and "Cap" was great but not worth the money in my opinion.

North Shore Clear Bottom Kayak Tour & Turtle Watch from Haleiwa Beach
False advertisement
Reviewed by: Julio C, 2022/07/03First and foremost, I have to give a shout-out to Ramsey because he was great. The kayak and experience itself was complete garbage. I was under the impression that we’d be at this beautiful blue sandbar in a glass kayak seeing all these beautiful turtles and looking at the gorgeous sea life underneath us. Come to find out, we would be kayaking at a disgusting creek with dead turtles and the nastiest water I’d ever be in with bubbles included. I watched a YouTube video where they advertised this website with a person on a beautiful blue ocean looking at sealife with this glamorous glass kayak. Meanwhile, I get a hazy plastic kayak with dead turtles in a bubbling green creek. Worst case of false advertising that I’ve EVER come across. I had to quit the excursion early because I was so disgusted and disappointed. I would NOT recommend this trip to anyone. Complete waste of time and money
