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 you'll surely love it. And if you already have experience we can share tricks while we enjoy the ride.
All this while we go through the mangrove channels and tunnels that are home to different species of fish and birds, among them the flamingos that if we are lucky we will see.
Discover why biologists call the mangrove nursery and learn other curious facts about this ecosystem that is so important to humanity.
After a theoretical class, we will start the adventure sitting on the board so that it is easy to learn to control it. Once this part is mastered, we will help you to 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 top of the board... the idea is to enjoy!
