Coastal SUP Adventures: Explore Hidden Gems
300
Overview
Standup Paddling Courses and Excursions offer a peaceful and fun way to explore the coast. These tours are perfect for small groups of up to 8 people who want to discover nature and connect with friends or family. Imagine gliding on a SUP board, surrounded by beautiful scenery, and making lasting memories.
With an SUP board, you will paddle out to discover the beautiful coast, its nature and wildlife. Participants normally start close to the shore until everyone feels comfortable to do a little trip or excursion, depending on the shape, age, and skills of the group. If the weather conditions are better some other place nearby, the activity could be done at another spot, depending on schedules and weather forecast. The guide helps everyone feel comfortable, even if they've never paddled before. The large and stable SUP boards make it easy for beginners to learn quickly.
This experience is more than just paddling. Sometimes, the group takes climbing shoes and goes bouldering DWS (deep water solo), or finds a cliff to jump from. If someone is curious about mindfulness, a guide could run a section or two to give you a taste of it. Whether standing, sitting, or kneeling, the guide encourages everyone to enjoy the experience in their own way.
