Stand-up paddle (SUP) is one of the most popular activities on Laguna Garzón: calm waters, lagoon scenery and the chance to glide across the water standing on a board. Operators at El Caracol and around the area offer board rentals and beginner lessons.

The lagoon allows for shorter or longer routes depending on your experience. Follow the navigation rules (life vest, permitted areas). If you have tried kayaking, SUP is a great next step; if not, instructors give you a short introduction before heading out.

Duration and season

Outings last 1 to 2 hours. High season runs from December to March; in autumn and spring, check availability with the operators.
