First timers for paddle boarding and kayaking

Valerie_L, Aug 2026

This activity was so much fun! The person in charge gave a brief explanation to my kids (16yr and 12yr) on how to paddle board and then they were off! The area where they paddle board and kayak, the water is very calm.

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Thank you for the great review! We’re so glad your kids had a fun paddleboard rental and that our team could help get them comfortable before heading out. We hope to see you all again!
