Night paddle boarding - Our guide was amazing. We ended up getting lucky because it was just us. He was attentive to see if we were doing okay and gave us facts about the islands which was cool. We had an amazing time with our guide.

Linear paddle boarding. So fun to be in the water at night and not be cold. - A must do. Relaxing, informative, fun and lots of history. Our guide was very good. He taught us a lot about each stop around the river. He was very engaging and did an exceptional job with his fire act.

Best tour! - Hands down the best tour you will go on! We had an amazing tour guide and it was nice paddle boarding and learning all the history. At one point you even get to Star gaze. Out of all the tours we did on the island this was our number one!

North Shore Must Do - One of the coolest experiences, particularly for an evening in the North Shore! Our guide Fatu shared Hawaiian folklore, information about all the Polynesian countries, performed a fire dance, and led us in some star-gazing, all while paddle boarding in a lagoon. Our 10 year old loved it!

It was an incredible... - It was an incredible insight lesson of the Polynesian culture, given by our guide. You will get a bit wet due to several small waterfalls scattered throughout the area.

Experience - We did the 9pm, the weather was beautiful, it’s a nice sheltered little area. The guide was absolutely great. It’s located about an hour and a half from Waikiki, make sure you plan for the travel time. This is something you can definitely do with smaller children age 4-5 depending on how they behave and if they will sit in a kayak for 1 to 1.5 hours.

The Best Night Experience - This experience was super nice. Our Guide was great! He was funny and showed up even after his co-worker had called out just to deliver the best! You’ll go on a mini river ride through the Polynesian center and star gaze in the dark! His stories are super engaging and informative. He did an amazing job despite being alone for the night with a whole group! Thanks “cousin!” 100% recommend for families and friend (anybody really) if you are worried about the river being too deep or anything like that it’s a man-made river and it’s only about 3 feet tall so if you fall off the paddle you can stand no issue.
