“Mireie is amazing she makes you feel comfortable and let’s you go at your own pace. She’s very encouraging and she goes step by step so that your body is accustomed to the board and the water. We took the bus from las Palmas and it was 7.45€ for a one way ticket. Overall the experience was great and she took pictures of us. Showed us the sunset and told us a little bit about the island. 5/5 would recommend. 💕”
Small-group SUP and snorkeling in Playa Blanca, Lanzarote, with reef spotting coaching and tips from your instructor.
“Easy to book, good value, lots of fun The experience is ran by the Dive Centre who have a base in the grounds of H10 Timanfaya Palace. I was not staying in Playa Blanca so met Mara on the Flamingo beach (this is very easy, it's a small bay and only one person laying out boards!). Was able to store my bag at the Timanfaya Palace, though it's fine to leave non-valuables on the beach. Mara was a great teacher, got us on the boards straight away & gave lots of space for you to go at your own pace, very glad I did lessons rather than just hiring equipment…”
SUP yoga on Gran Canaria with a small group, included gear, English instruction, and GoPro photos, all in about 1.5 hours.
“Sun, sea, yoga and SUP - this is the ultimate meditative experience where respiration meets waves, where your place on the board/mat is insignificant and yet vital. Set down your paddle and focus on going nowhere, just existing, for a moment.”
