tips

Overview

If it's your first time, don't worry, we'll teach you in a simple and fun way, it's easier than it seems and we guarantee that you'll love it. And if you already have experience, we'll surely be able to teach you some tricks on the board. All this while we explore the mangrove channels and tunnels that are home to different species of fish and birds, including flamingos that we'll see if we're lucky. Discover why biologists call the mangrove "the nursery" and learn other curious facts about this ecosystem that's so important for humanity. After a theoretical class, we'll start the adventure sitting on the board so that it's easy to learn how to control it. Once you've mastered this part, we'll help you stand up. Although the challenge is to paddle standing up, you can also sit, kneel, lie down and even stand on your head or do yoga on the board... the idea is to have fun! GUYS, SEE YOU SOON IN THE WATER! * Compas: an affectionate way of referring to friends

Great time and encouraging instructor

Published on Dec, 2024

It was really good. The only issue was that the gate was semi closed, so I had to open it by myself and get in. We had to wait in the Palapa for the instructor, Fanny.

Sunset paddle boarding heaven

Published on Nov, 2024

This crew was 10/10. The sweetest people ever. A sublime magical experience at sunset! Fanny, Rob, and Charlie made this wonderful in every way.

Amazing experience!

Published on Apr, 2024

Super inviting to first timers. We had a great time learning to paddle board, being taught tricks, exploring the mangroves, and observing and learning about the surrounding wildlife. Our guide was also very friendly and went above and beyond getting us good pictures of the group, recommending other local destinations, and teaching us all. It was a highlight of the trip!

Excellent sunrise paddleboard experience

Published on Feb, 2024

Greeted the sunrise in a calm Mangrove right by Progreso. It was my first time paddle boarding and Fanny was a wonderful guide and teacher. Aside from standup boarding on the water, we also explored some low/little channels through the mangrove's as well. All in all, I enjoyed it thoroughly, and would highly recommend it.

Amazing experience with great views!

Published on Nov, 2023

I loved all the experience! Fanny explained how to use the board very good, so even it was my first time doing paddle board I could stand up with no problem! It is an early morning trip but it’s 100% worth it. I will recommend this tour to anyone! The views are lovely and the sunrise was perfect.
