Enjoy a full 2-hour tandem kayak rental along Haleiwa Bay and the Anahulu stream -- home of the Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles. The river is calm, yet no mosquitos. You will be surrounded by beautiful lush surroundings along the riverbank, and will also be able to paddle along the bay as well, passing over coral reefs and enjoying the view of the coastline from the water.
We are the original stand up paddle school on Oahu's North Shore, making people happy for 11 years now. Come “Paddle” for a great cause: a portion of our profits go toward Operation Underground Railroad to help rescue children from sex slavery (learn more at OURrescue.org)

Riley was awesome. Very relaxing fun kayak ride. Was hard to find them at first. Maybe better description of where based on landmarks or maybe I'm slow lol

Great staff and awesome experience for the whole family. The paddle down the river is especially cool and we did come across a turtle. Highly recommend Rainbow for the equipment rental and guidance.

Found Heidi on site and inquired about a rental. It worked out great. Wonderful service, fair prices too. I highly recommend booking with Rainbow when visiting Haleiwa!

We had a wonderful time kayaking the North Shore! The staff directed us exactly where to meet and were very knowledgeable hospitable. The equipment was in good condition - all around a great experience!

Super fun adventure! I couldn't believe I had missed this gem that was right under my nose. Two hours was more than enough for even these slow paddlers to go up the gentle river and then across the bay with time to spare. We saw SO MANY turtles! In addition to the great customer service it was a fun family time and a great nature viewing escape. Getting to see a manta-ray up close was very memorable.

We had the best experience kayaking and paddle boarding with Rainbow Watersports. They were so friendly when we made the reservation and made it so easy. When we got there the guide, Heidi, welcomed us and gave us great instruction before we started. The equipment was top quality and functioned great. We had no issues with them. We saw a mantra ray in the bay and lots of sea turtles along the river. My kids loved this experience!

I visited Oahu for about a month and went kayaking on several occasions while I was here, renting from Rainbow Water Sports. The rental process was easy and the people were super nice. The experience was as awesome because of the location. You can either kayak on the river or the ocean. Looking forward to coming back for my next adventure!
