Highly 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!

Excellent experience with... - 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.

Paddle boarding through the mangroves in Curacao was a peaceful and unique experience. - What an awesome experience. This was our first time paddle boarding and it was not difficult. Super calm water, tons of nature around and totally different vibe from the beach scene. Peaceful, relaxing and honestly, one of my favorite things I did on the island.

Great private SUP tour with Rose - Rose gave a great tour, providing all the instruction I needed with clarity. She was knowledgeable about the sea-life, plant-life and. Curaçao history. The tour started with a quick boat ride to the man-groves. We picked up our paddle boards, had a quick lesson on the water, and spent half the tour in the mangroves. We took a break on our boards for a snack and a drink. We then paddled in more
open water with the wind at our backs to our starting point. The launch/landing point had a bathroom, restaurant, and outdoor shower. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Beat of all, photos were provided as part of the cost!

To do when you’re in Curaçao - 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.

Great family fun! - Rose was a fantastic guide! She was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and clearly great at what she does. She taught us so much about the island and made the experience even more enjoyable. Thank you, Rose, for such a fun day on the water!

Excellent experience - Run by a passionate couple; you can see they love what they do. We did a guided SUP mangrove tour and then spent time at their beach bar; enjoying a delicious pizza and drinks. We arrived by cruise ship; and they help us with transportation as well.
Overall a perfect day out. Highly recommended. Excellent service at a reasonable price. When we return; I will try the windsurfing.

Beautiful experience - Matched 100% the expectations. The tourguide was friendly and answered all the questions which were asked and showed the best spots for stand up paddling. In addition to that the guide took beautiful photos which are provided at the end of the tour.
It was perfect :)
