  • Level 1: This experience is open to beginner paddlers. You are welcome to sit for the entire duration of the experience. You must be comfortable paddling in a straight line, turning and stopping. Having taken a stand-up paddleboard lesson previously is recommended if you’re feeling unsure. We offer lessons if you’re feeling like that may be beneficial prior to an experience with Back2Nature!

    This is a leisure paddle, however, on some occasions the wind may pick-up in the evenings. Your guide is a stand-up paddleboard instructor and will provide you with tips and tools to assist you with paddling confidently and efficiently.

    Previous stand-up paddleboarding experience is recommended but not required.

  • Our team at Back2Nature will be in touch with you via text message if the weather conditions (i.e. wind, thunderstorm) are unsafe to paddle and we will arrange to reschedule the paddle.

  • What should I wear?

    You can wear a swim suit underneath a base layer (we recommend a short sleeved or long sleeved top). Then pack with you a sweater and a rain jacket. As for bottoms, we recommend wearing a quick dry material of shorts, capris or pants and bringing with you a pair of rain pants. As for your feet, we recommend submersible footwear that you can get wet. Please bring with you an extra change of clothes and footwear.

    Do you supply life jackets?

    Yes, we have various sizes of PFDs/life jackets that we provide, along with a whistle attached! If you are bringing a child with you, please bring a life jacket for them.

    Can I still join if I’ve never paddled before?

    Even though we recommend previous paddling experience, we can provide you with training that will allow you to feel safe and confident on a stand-up paddleboard!

    Do I need to stand for the duration of the paddling adventure?

    Absolutely not! You can stand, kneel or sit down for any duration of the paddle!

    Do I need my own paddleboard?
    No. We provide paddleboards and essential paddle and safety gear for all guests.

  • We have an accessible paddleboard available for guests who may benefit from extra support on the water. If the launch location allows for safe and suitable access, we would be happy to explore whether this experience can work for you. Please reach out before booking so we can chat about your needs and find the best fit.
