Blue Planet Surf Hale’iwa — Attraction in Oʻahu

Roll Up, Rent a Stand Up Paddle Board, and put the board in the river and start paddling, DIRECTLY from the store dock. Yes, you heard me right. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The coolest SUP experience on the North Shore, hands down!

Don't get suckered into those expensive hotel SUP tours, go directly here, save money and time.

If you’re looking for that instant aloha magic moment, Blue Planet Surf Hale’iwa has figured out the formula. Renting a board here isn’t just a transaction—it’s the start of a little adventure that begins the second you set foot on their dock.

Most surf and SUP rentals hand you a board, point vaguely toward the ocean, and wish you luck, then giggle as you walk away. Not here. At Blue Planet, you literally walk your freshly-rented paddleboard ten feet to their private dock, step right onto the river, and suddenly—boom—you’re gliding through Hale’iwa’s lush, tropical paradise like it’s your own personal waterway feeling like the Duke himself. It feels almost too convenient, like a cheat code for vacation. Like a vacation from your problems.

The river itself is calm and welcoming, making it perfect for first-timers or for anyone who wants a break from battling waves. No waves = smooth paddling. But it’s not boring—far from it. You’ve got turtles lazily cruising by, little fish darting under your board, and a backdrop of green that looks like a scene plucked straight from a postcard. You can cruise upriver for a peaceful, zen-like paddle under shady canopies of trees, or head down toward the harbor for more open water and a salty breeze. It’s choose-your-own-adventure, Hawaiian style.

And the vibe? Beyond chill. Tyler and Patrick are all smiles and full of helpful tips, but they never rush you. They genuinely are stoked to see people get out there and enjoy the water. The boards themselves are in great condition too—not those beat-up, wobbly rentals you sometimes regret stepping on or lose a toe while using. These glide smooth, making you feel way more skilled than you probably are.

The best part, honestly, is how immediate the experience is. No loading boards on cars, no wrestling with straps, no awkward carrying them across busy streets. You just rent, step onto the dock, and go. Within minutes you’re in the water, which makes the whole thing feel effortless—exactly how a Hawaiian paddle should feel.

If you’re anywhere near Hale’iwa and want that perfect combo of ease, beauty, and a dash of “wow, life is good,” Blue Planet Surf is the spot. Five stars, two shakas (spread your figers super wide so the locals know you belong) and about a million photos you’ll want to post after...

We stopped to jump off the bridge and take a plunge in the water. We went over to check out the kayaks because we fell in love with the river…. And I CAN NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE ENOUGH!!!

You talk about aloha spirit…you walk away feeling like family. Devon helped us out and was fantastic, such a gentleman and totally caring for all of my kids. All of my kids walked away talking about that they want Devon as a friend!

Then you throw in the kayaking and SUP boards and the adventure puts your soul at ease. I have never seen such an amazing experience with nature, saw a dozen turtles that would swim right up to you, jumping fish, a jellyfish, colorful birds, kids jumping off the bridges. We even got to jump off a rope swing.

Blue planet and their staff gave us life long memories. Much love to you guys! Thanks for taking the...

I cannot say enough good things about this company and the staff!! Try to make a long story short… while paddle boarding on my birthday with my inflatable SUP, I ran into SO many issues! Leak, lost paddle. Gah! I went over to Blue Planet. The team there offered to help tape my SUP, offered me a paddle to use. Then I just gave up and was going to rent. They showed me some boards that they had just put out for sale (old rentals). They let me take it out for the rest of my birthday outing. At the end, I was so impressed with the board, the service and the team that I bought the board. I love it so much! They strapped it to the car for me. I have since had it back as I knew that it needed new rail tape. They took great care of me and were so very kind. If you don’t know where to buy or who to trust go here, trust them....
