Although the idea of standing up and paddling originated thousands of years ago, this has recently become much more popular as a way of keeping fit whilst gliding over the water. Stand up paddle boards are larger than surf boards, making them more stable.
We have two great locations for you to try this new activity or improve your skills. 3 hour guided sessions on the Lizard Peninsula. Explore the breath-taking coastline at a gentle pace, go through gaps in the rocks and into caves. 2 hour trips from Hayle Harbour for a more sheltered paddle on the estuary.
3 hour Paddleboard Tours on The Lizard £50 per person
2 hour Paddleboard Tours from Hayle £40 per person
