They have many more packages ... so it doesn't hurt to call. We wanted to do an epic 1-day trip, so we went to Herradura Beach to change it up from the usual mountain or waterfall activity for a stand-up paddle tour in SUPER. We arrived and they received us at a place made of super cool containers, with bathrooms, a shop and chairs facing the beach perfect to spend a whole day at the beach.

Then, we got ready, put on sunblock and then the instructors (certificated) explained the correct techniques to do this sport. In my case, this was my second time doing SUP. I felt super bad from the previous time since I had not succeeded, but after the instructor's tips I felt that maybe I would enjoy it more.

Then we got in the water, entered one by one on the board and out to sea, where the water was calm as a pool, and it was time to stand up ... and yes ... we all made it. And that is how this experience began towards Herradura Island.

In the water, time passes like in slow motion, and each time you get faster and get a confidence boost as you go along the sea. The thing is that if you feel hot, all you have to do is throw yourself in the water to cool off and then back up.

We passed in front of Playa Tiradores which is to the left and continued a little more, we made a break halfway to chat and rest ... Then we went back while we took pictures of the landscape that is towards the beach.

When we arrived at the beach, they also helped us out one by one, so we didn’t crash into the shore and we walked to the SUPER spot, we showered and then went to lunch at a restaurant that was right next to it, it was quite tasty.

BONUS: Seriously put on SPF 300 blocker on ALL over your body.
