Tours

Tours are a great way to explore the local waterways and to experience stand up paddleboarding and kayaking.   If you have never paddled before, you can still join a tour as you will be given basic instruction before we begin.  In the company of a local guide you will be able to enjoy your cruise without worrying about navigation, tides or winds.  The guide will help you to identify local birdlife and sights along the way.  Stand Up Paddling and Kayaking provide you with a unique view of the world.
