Notes

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.

Customer Reviews

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
