It's incredibly fun. The mangroves are beautiful, and the SUP boards are nice and stable. There's a great explanation of the nature, and the tour guide explained everything well. Highly recommended.

Excellent experience with an exceptional guide. I struggle with my balance, but the mangroves were no issue. The 2nd half is returning through the windy bay in choppy waters. I fell in the water once (no one else did), but you are tethered to the board, so no issue climbing right back on. I stayed on my knees for a bit and had no issues-- it didn't slow things down. Incredibly friendly/helpful staff and one of the best activities I signed up for during our two week stay. Side note---fantastic snorkeling only 800 meters away at Tugboat Beach.

My family and I really enjoyed this excursion. Our guide was Dennis who was patient with my kids and helped everyone with their paddle boards. Experiencing the mangroves in leisure pace and guide shared more about Curaçao. Afterward we ate at their small restaurant while we waitied for the pictures they provided us. Great experience and highly recommend!!

This excursion is a full body workout, with a focus on feet haha! Be prepared to paddle for at least an hour/hour and a half, in mostly calm waters and a stint in slightly choppier waters. It was a beautiful, tranquil, and educational adventure. Our guide Mat was knowledgeable and personable. Would highly recommend for people who like active vacations.

What a great outing! My daughter & I were paired with three others. Our guide was knowledgeable of the ecosystem & attentive to the group. Highly recommend!

This was a great experience. I had never even tried and didn’t fall off one. Our guide was great. Had the best time. Must be in decent health as it is a long trip standing and paddling but I made it! Loved it will do it again

Great fun! Cool place to have lunch after and very nice tour guides! Great for all levels of suppers

The SUP staff were great! They were genuinely kind and made sure our experience was as good as possible. Our guides provided water and snacks during our trip and were informative about some history of the island.
We took a transfer from the cruise terminal, which was provided by a taxi service. The communication and pickup went smoothly. The van we traveled in wasn’t the nicest, but we made it there and back safely.
This was our first excursion that wasn’t booked through the cruise line, and we will definitely consider booking more like this in the future.

Had a great time with a great family owned business. Great equipment. Thought the price was on point with the experience. We will come back to try other thing offered. Will recommend to others.

Nice easy going SUP experience with mangroves and a little history thrown in by our guide Jeffrey who was very helpful with those who got a little off course :)

This was a fun experience for my husband and I. This was our first time paddle boarding but it was good for beginners. The guides were awesome. I would recommend!
Katherine_T, Sep 2023
Great experience overall, the mangroves were interesting and I learned a skill. My sister and I came in September on the first full day of our trip; Curacao's hottest month proved too much for us. We got through a lot of the tour, but couldn't quite make it to the end. They had the boat come and pick us up, bringing us back so we could sit in the shade and cool down. They were extremely kind and attentive, and we're glad we went. And the dog that joined us on a few sections was super cute!

We had a great time on this excursion! We only had 4, plus the guide. 2 of us were a little unsteady on the board and were able to sit on the board throughout. Fun going through the mangroves, challenging out on the open water, but a blast overall!
Ashwini_S, Apr 2023
it was good guided trip and trip organizers were friendly and helped throughout the journey but only thing was it was more intermediate level than beginners
MichelleD, Apr 2023
This was such a fun experience. The crew was so friendly and helpful. They also gave us a bit of history along the way. Due to a recent injury, I wasn’t able to do the paddle board, and they went out of their way to find a kayak for me. Excellent customer service! Highly recommend!

Beautiful scenery and our guide was great! Was able to communicate with all participants in their own language

Four of us had a great time on this trip. Very happy we did this on our cruise. It was a windy day, but it wasn't too difficult. The tour guide & operators were great.

Overall a good experience. Note that it's a bit of a long drive to their location from the cruise dock. The company appears to contract with taxi drivers to transport cruise ship passengers to the location. Our driver was very accommodating, maybe due to the tips we gave him. Please note other comments with regard to bringing a towel or change of clothes in order to get back into the taxi.
We applied spf 30 sun lotion and every one of us still burned, so keep that in mind. The water/snack break was much appreciated. Also, if any of the party is not a strong swimmer - I suggest requesting a life vest if they have any. A portion of the course was quite windy/choppy and one of our party fell off his board. With 2 tour experts, one at each end of the spread out group, the middle section of the group not have anyone to assist with what was at the time a scary experience. Sunglasses or anything not stored in a zippered pocket are often lost into the water.
We enjoyed our tour guides, the experience, weather, and scenery. Most of us would do again. Company could use to invest in some new paddles, I got a few paint splinters from my paddle.

This was certainly a highlight of our trip. Great staff and a wonderful experience.

Unbelievably fun trip, children could also come along for the Sup. They thought it was the best day of the holiday.

Super toffe ervaring, heel vriendelijke begeleiding en nam echt voor iedereen de voor uitleg en hulp als het niet lukte

Wir waren noch nie auf einem Stand Up Paddeling Bord gestanden und hatten immer das Gefühl in den richtigen Händen zu sein. Unser Guide Sophie hat uns auf charmante Art alles erklärt und zusammen mit den beiden anderen Guides Bass und Stephan hatten wir einen tolle Zeit. Die Fahrt entlang der Mangrooven und über das Meer hat uns riesigen Spaß gemacht und wir können SUP Curacao nur wärmstens empfehlen. Die Kommunikation im Vorfeld mit Hilde und Ingmar und auch am Tag unserer Tour war vorbildlich. Da das Wetter nicht so 100% absehbar war hätten wir sogar kurzfristig umbuchen können. Es war bestimmt nicht unsere letzte SUP Tour!
