  • 5Great paddleboard experience!

    Was an awesome paddle board experience, especially for those who may be unsure or doing it for the first time. Dennis, our guide - was informative, helpful, and definitely made sure everyone had the confidence to follow along. Even getting trapped or scared slightly - he was there ready to help. Highly recommend!

  • 5Great time

    My family of 6 had a great time doing this. We got lucky and had a strong wind to our backs on the way in which made it much easier.

  • 5Highly recommend for a fun adventure!

    This was an excellent experience! I have paddle boarded many times in various settings, from the Mediterranean to quiet lakes in the Adirondacks. I'm not an expert, but I am an avid fan. This was one of the funnest paddleboard experiences I have had. Being in a group, I was a bit wary. But the teacher/guide did an excellent job of instructing and encouraging, but not babying the beginners (a few who had never paddleboarded before). As a result, the group moved at a good pace, and everyone felt comfortable (at least it seemed so) and had a good time. The setting is beautiful, and the combo of calm waters along the mangroves with the more rocky crossing in open water was perfect. Just enough to feel like you got a good workout, but also relaxing and enjoyable. I really appreciated that the guide gave lots of tips for those of us who had paddleboarded before to learn more techniques, and he was also very friendly and helpful to beginners. The water was warm and lovely too! I also liked that he gave us some history and cultural info about the island and recommended some other cool spots to visit. And he was very kind to translate everything into English for the only 2 of us who were not Dutch. Overall, it was truly a fun adventure! PS: They have a nice lunch spot there for after the tour. PPS: Wear sunscreen if you are sensitive to the sun!
