River Turtle SUP lesson on Anahulu River

The River Turtle SUP lesson offers a peaceful 1.5-hour paddle along the Anahulu River near Haleiwa Harbor. This lesson is taught by local North Shore Surf Girls, former pro surfers and trained lifeguards, who emphasize skill, safety, and enjoyment.

Tour route and experience

Participants meet at the river mouth and paddle upstream through a mix of fresh and salt water framed by the Ko‘olau range. The gentle current allows an effortless glide as you pass basking green sea turtles that often surface nearby. The tour turns around at the river’s upper end where it narrows into a stream and returns to the starting point.

Instruction and atmosphere

Local instructors provide supportive, family-style lessons designed to help you fall in love with paddling and surfing. The experience suits all skill levels and focuses on safety and fun.
