North Shore Sunset Paddle on the Anahulu River

Julie creates something truly special on the calm river waters beneath Haleiwa's Rainbow Bridge. Her SUP yoga classes and turtle tours have become must-do experiences on Oahu's North Shore, with guests consistently praising her warmth, skill, and genuine passion for what she does. She's described as an excellent instructor who makes first-timers feel completely comfortable, whether they're new to paddleboarding, yoga, or both. The setting itself is stunning, and Julie enhances it with thoughtful touches like singing bowl sound baths during evening paddles and LED-lit boards that illuminate the water at night. The sea turtles are the other stars of the show. Guests regularly spot dozens swimming beneath their boards, and Julie's knowledge of the river and its wildlife adds depth to every outing. She handles all the details beautifully, providing waterproof pouches for phones and taking excellent photos throughout so you can stay present in the moment. Multiple reviewers mention returning for a second experience, and families particularly appreciate how accessible and magical she makes these adventures. The river's calm conditions make it perfect for beginners, while Julie's sequenced yoga classes challenge more experienced practitioners.
