“Great fun on SUP, from the very basics to cave exploration. Good equipment, nice introduction and pacing of the trip (there was enough time to get a feel of the board and try standing up a couple of times on calmer waters) and a very friendly instructor. Bruno is simply a cool guy and it was a pleasure to spend 2hrs with him. He's shown us some beautiful caves and gave us a bit of background of how they came to be and even told us a bit about the fossils there. He also took some nice pics of us with his gopro so we were able to focus on…”

It was quite the task to get the boards strapped to the car though and then carry them up and down stairs to get to the water. Keep that in mind when booking that you have to go pick them up, drive to the beach and carry them to the water then back.”
