Yes! This tour is for everyone. It's perfect for solo travelers, couples, families, or groups of friends.
No experience necessary: We'll walk you through it step by step.

Frequently Asked Questions About Paddleboarding
Do I need prior experience?
No. Our tours are 100% beginner-friendly. We start with a brief onshore lesson, and each participant progresses at their own pace.
Who is eligible to participate in the activity?
If you can do a couple of squats, you can paddleboard. You just need basic mobility.
Who should not participate in this experience?
For safety reasons, we do not recommend this product for people weighing more than 115 kg, pregnant women, or those with serious injuries or open wounds.
Do I need to know how to swim?
No. This is a very safe activity for those who can't swim, as the water is very calm and shallow (below the knees). The area offers ideal conditions for learning at your own pace.
Is it safe for children?
Yes, we have special equipment for young children. In addition to helping them develop motor skills (balance, coordination, proprioception, and body awareness), paddleboarding allows them to connect with nature.
Can I bring my pet?
Of course! We're pet-friendly. However, we suggest bringing your pet after your first session so you feel completely confident and in control of the board.
Where are the tours located, and where do they start?
We are located in Progreso, Yucatán, 30 minutes from the city of Mérida. Tours depart from Marina Laguna Mar. Advance reservations are required.
What time does the tour take place?
Tours depart at sunrise. This is the time of day when weather conditions are best, there is less wind, and you have the best chance of seeing wildlife. Please arrive 30 minutes before sunrise. The exact time varies depending on the season.
Can the tour be taken at a different time?
Yes, it's possible for groups of at least 4 people, but we need to check the weather first. We recommend going at sunrise, since the current gets stronger later on and requires better physical fitness. It's worth getting up early!
How long does the activity last?
The activity lasts 2 hours (hands-on activities, a guided tour, breaks, an educational talk, and photos). However, we don’t keep strict track of time; we want you to enjoy yourself at a relaxed pace. We may run a little over time if the mangrove forest has a surprise in store for us, such as spotting some flamingos.
What should I bring?
Lightweight, comfortable clothing, a swimsuit, a towel, water, insect repellent, and biodegradable sunscreen. All equipment (board, paddle, and leash) is included.
Can I bring my cell phone or camera?
Of course, we recommend using a protective case and a float for your devices. If you don't want to risk damaging your device, don't worry: we'll take videos during the tour that you can purchase for just $150 at the end.
If I purchase videos, how long does it take for them to be shipped?
It usually takes no more than 2 days. During peak season, it could take up to a week. We appreciate your patience; we strive to deliver the highest quality.
How far in advance should I make a reservation?
Due to safety concerns and to protect the mangrove forest, we have limited availability. We recommend booking one or two weeks in advance, especially on weekends or during the holiday season.
How do I make a reservation?
You can contact us directly via WhatsApp or through our website. We require a deposit to confirm your reservation (except during the holiday season, when full payment is required).
How early should I arrive?
We recommend arriving 10 minutes before departure time to check in and receive instructions. Sunrise doesn't wait, and we'll start on time out of respect for the group.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Safety is our top priority. If conditions aren't ideal, we'll reschedule your trip for another date that works for you (subject to availability). You can also transfer your reservation to someone else.
Can I cancel the experience?
In the event of cancellation by the customer, no refund will be issued, as the fee covers administrative costs and the reservation of the board on the selected date.
