Santa Teresa: Stand Up Paddle Tour with Local Guide

Discover Santa Teresa's coastline on a 2-hour stand up paddle tour for all levels. Paddle with a local guide and look out for sea turtles, seabirds, and marine life.
Explore the Pacific coast of Santa Teresa from the water on a stand up paddle tour designed for every level. Here, jungle meets the ocean along the Nicoya Peninsula, and the coastline is home to a rich variety of marine and bird life, from sea turtles surfacing for air to pelicans gliding just above the waves.

Start on the beach with a short introduction from your local guide. If it's your first time, learn how to hold the paddle, find your balance, and move from kneeling to standing before you head out. If you already paddle, skip straight to the water and work on your stroke, turns, and efficiency.

Then paddle along the shoreline as your guide adapts the route to your level and the day's ocean conditions. Beginners stay in calmer stretches close to shore, while more confident paddlers can head farther out and explore more of the coast. Along the way, keep your eyes on the water and sky for turtles, schools of fish, frigatebirds, and pelicans diving for their next meal.

Take breaks to float, take photos, and enjoy the view of the green hills and palm-lined beaches from the water. Finish the tour back on shore with a new skill, or a sharper one, and a closer look at the natural side of Santa Teresa.
