Had an amazing time, they were super helpful and very friendly for beginners, gave us clear instructions in English, I went on a sunrise paddle session and it was one of the best things I did in playa, would 100% recommend !
@mcbounz
A must-do activity. I truly believe that paddleboard at sunrise is an activity that you MUST do while you are in PDC. It is really amazing and Aloha is the best option. The guides are really cool and they usually take pictures during the activity.

This was amazing Everyone was so happy and helpful on teaching the proper technique. The group was so much fun and as a solo guest I felt so welcomed. The sunrise was beautiful a Truly amazing experience I will definitely do again
I did a sunrise paddleboard tour. It was my first time paddleboarding but was very easy to learn. The staff were great; professional, friendly, and helpful, and I felt very safe with them. The 1.5 hour tour was totally spectacular and well worth the early morning. Seeing the sun rise out of the ocean was breathtaking! The staff take many photos throughout the tour and are happy to send them to you immediately after. I loved being able to see and share them instantly, and not having to pay anything extra!
One of the best experiences I've had here in Playa Del Carmen. It was like a meditative healing experience that left me wanting more! the guidance was superb and professional. I'm so glad I leaned in and faced my fears.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, anyone can. Our paddleboard mixed groups are for all ages and all levels (weather depending). We have an instructor who helps if it is your first time to make sure you have the best experience on this tour. Children under 8 can go on the board with an adult for no extra charge. Minors under 18 are welcome depending on the weather conditions and always accompanied by an adult. We reserve the right to deny participation of a minor if the instructor deems it not doable.
We have many people coming who don’t know how to swim, or perhaps are even a bit scared. It depends of course on you in the end. You are attached to the board with a leash at all times, plus we can provide life jackets. Just let your instructor know before. Our instructors always stay close to persons who are not comfortable in the sea. Of course this all depends on the weather, and according to the instructor we might decide to either refund or reschedule you in case it’s not doable for you.

In case of bad weather, we can decide to either reschedule or cancel and refund you. We will always try to let you know in advance but on occasion we will need to decide on the spot. Unfortunately the weather and sea gods sometimes have a mind of their own. In general, (light) rain is not a valid reason for us to cancel. We will cancel if we can’t assure your safety or you have a fun time: strong winds, lightning, and big waves.
We have special prices for the following categories: locals 50% (must show INE of QR), expats 25% (residents without INE, must show proof of residence) and nacionales 25%.
If you’re unsure which category you are in or would like to book with your special price, please contact us.

We are probably the biggest water sports club in Mexico, which means we can get quite busy. We do our utmost best to prevent overbookings. However, due to limitations of our reservation system it can happen that you reserve for a group that’s already full. In this case we will contact you to either reschedule you or refund you.
In the rare occasion that we missed your reservation and you arrive and and the group is full, we ask your for your understanding and do whatever we can to make it posible for you to come. We will always give priority to persons who are on the list though. In case we can’t take you we will either try to reschedule you or otherwise refund you of course.
Our paddleboard sessions are about 75 – 90 minutes on the sea, depending on the weather conditions and the mix up of the group. Including the time for the instruction the total duration can be up to two hours.

With all these options we can imagine it’s a bit hard to make the right choice. Please do not hesitate to contact us. We’ll get back to you the minute we’re out of the water!
