Paddle Board – North Shore (Turtle Bay)
Glide the North Shore
Trade the rush for the hush. Our stand-up paddle board (SUP) sessions let you explore Turtle Bay’s turquoise water, reef gardens, and calm coves at an easy, confidence-building pace. It’s the most relaxing way to connect with the ocean—and an awesome option for families, first-timers, and anyone who wants a mellow day on the water.

Ohana Stand Up Paddle Experience
Just your Crew – Personal coaching, flexible pace, more time exploring.
Share the experience with your closest crew. Semi-private paddle sessions are designed for 2–4 people—friends, couples, or families who want to learn together. Each person gets personalized tips from the coach while enjoying the fun of a group outing. Expect plenty of laughs, photo ops, and the shared thrill of gliding across the North Shore’s calm reef waters side by side.

Small-Group Stand Up Paddle Experience
Share the stoke with others. Friendly vibe, great for first-timers and families.
Our most social and budget-friendly option. Group paddle sessions bring together a small circle of adventurers (typically up to 6–8 guests) for a guided introduction to stand-up paddling. You’ll start on land with balance and stroke basics, then launch together for a mellow cruise around Turtle Bay. It’s a fun way to try SUP, make memories, and soak in epic views—without pressure.
Best for: first-timers, solo travelers, or families who enjoy group energy.
