Explore the waterways of Thesen Island and the Knysna Estuary with the world’s fastest growing watersport, Stand-Up Paddling. Stand-Up Paddling, or SUP for short, is easy, fun and guaranteed to keep you fit whilst enjoying the spectacular scenery of our waterways & lagoon. The calm waters of Thesen Island are ideal for beginners and the many inlets and coves are perfect for the more adventurous or experience paddlers. Eight top quality boards and paddles are available for rent by the hour.
Beginner tips
If this is your first Stand-Up Paddle experience, stay in the protected waters of Thesen Island. The water is calmer and boats travel at wake speed.
Keep hydrated
Don’t get dehydrated! When on the water it is recommended that you keep hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
What to wear!
Dress comfortably in a costume or shorts & a t-shirt. During the cooler winter months, you may want to bring a wet suite.
Don’t forget the sunblock and sunglasses!
Water reflects and magnifies the sun rays. Without protection you can get severely sunburned during your trip. Be sure to bring your sunglasses to protect your eyes from glare on the water.

Really brilliant experience. As self-confessed newbies we were surprised at the lack of instruction. They basically just held the boards while we knelt on them and we had to work out how to paddle, but it was actually dead easy once you got going. We stood up after about 5 mins (or when our knees decided they'd had enough!) and it was all plain sailing from then on. So enjoyable. Obviously the girls were much better at it than the boys.... - James
This was my first time Stand Up Paddle Boarding. I'm totally up for doing it again. After losing my fear I really enjoyed the experience. And saw loads of marine life in the clear water. Fab. However, having some steps in the water would have made my exit easier and more graceful! The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, I very positive experience. Many thanks. Evelyn - Evelyn
