Tyler and his team of rescue dogs have created something truly special on Oahu's calm rivers. First-time paddleboarders consistently praise how welcoming and beginner-friendly the experience is, with Tyler's instruction making everyone feel confident on the water. The real stars, though, are the rescue pups—Sandy, Dobby, Phoenix, Poke, and the rest of the crew—who paddle along, jump between boards, and generally steal everyone's hearts. Each dog has their own rescue story that Tyler shares during the tour. What makes this experience stand out is how it combines paddleboarding with local history lessons, stunning sunsets, and the chance to spot sea turtles in the river. Multiple honeymooners and vacationers call it the highlight of their entire Hawaii trip, even beating out traditional activities like snorkeling and ziplining. The calm river location (mentioned as perfect for learning) and Tyler's positive energy create a relaxed, joyful atmosphere. Many guests book multiple sessions during their stay, and some even report it inspired them to get paddle boards for their own dogs back home. It's clearly a unique way to enjoy Hawaii's natural beauty while supporting a great cause.
We had the best time with SUPDog Hawaii on the rescue dog paddle boarding tour! Tyler, our instructor, was knowledgeable, friendly, experienced, and so kind. He made everything easy to follow and gave us the confidence to try something totally new. The rescue dogs were absolute superstars—so lovable and full of personality! Thanks to Tyler’s excellent instruction, we did way better than we expected (and didn’t even fall in the water!). This was such a fun and unique experience, and we’d recommend SUPDog Hawaii to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure.
