Stand Up Paddleboarding ao nascer e pôr do sol em Koh Samui

Much simpler than I imagined, and much more fun too! It was so interesting to paddle out to sea by myself. Unexpectedly, we actually paddled quite far. Our instructor, Ian, said that he and his friends would even spend three or four days paddling around the island like this. Overall, I highly recommend this to anyone who doesn't want to waste too much time and energy but still wants to enjoy some water activities!

We chose the sunset session and we are so glad we did. Fantastic conditions for learning how to paddleboard. We were three complete novices, and my wife had done some paddleboarding on a lake before, but Ian, the teacher, was excellent. Within minutes, all four of us were standing up on the boards and off across the sea. My two boys, 18 and 21 years old, really enjoyed this, and we finished back at the bar for a well-deserved drink as the final lights of the day faded. I would 100% recommend this, and Ian was great company and a great teacher. Thank you from the Wrights.

A very interesting first experience. My daughter and I joined the sunset tour. On this day, it was just the two of us on the tour! The coach personally picked us up from the hotel right on time. All my initial worries disappeared. Before getting into the water, the coach demonstrated on the beach, explaining everything in detail and with humor. While paddleboarding in the sea, the coach stayed with us, teaching us how to paddle left, how to paddle right, and how to turn around. It was so much fun! He also helped us, mother and daughter, take many photos. This was truly an unforgettable memory. After the activity, there were drinks available. Sitting by the sea, feeling the sea breeze, watching the sunset, and drinking coconut water – at that moment, life felt incredibly enjoyable.

A fantastic experience! Our coach, Lan, was professional and patient. I even spotted him at sunrise on Chaweng Beach. It was truly a serendipitous encounter, highly recommended!

Sunrise-paddelboarding var en höjdpunkt under vår tid på Samui. Ian var en fantastisk lärare som snabbt fick oss ut på vattnet med tillräckligt självförtroende för att ge oss av. Ett fantastiskt sätt att börja morgonen och jag rekommenderar verkligen denna upplevelse till alla.

My daughter and I participated in the sunrise paddleboarding. The instructor was kind, and the beach had calm waves, so we enjoyed it without any difficulty. It was less strenuous than I expected, and the scenery was wonderful. I highly recommend it.

I can't swim, so I asked beforehand if I could wear a life vest, and they said yes. I'm clumsy, easily scared, and afraid of water, but I was so satisfied that I felt it was a great decision to try it 💗. My husband and I were the only ones who booked, so it was a 2-on-1 lesson, which made it even better! :) Teacher Ian was incredibly kind~ Thanks to him, it was the most fulfilling and happy day haha. It's super simple, so definitely give it a try!!! Also, I thought we'd only be in shallow water, but we went quite far. I was scared, but as long as you don't do anything foolish, you won't fall in~ haha. I overdid it and fell once while turning, but my feet were fixed, and with the life vest, there was no danger at all~ They took a lot of photos for us, but unfortunately, it was cloudy that day ㅠㅠ so I couldn't get amazing pictures like in other reviews, which is a shame...! I want to try it again next time.

It was truly a great experience. Ian was very friendly and picked us up on time. He taught us how to paddle, as it was our first time doing SUP. We were lucky that only two of us were participants. The wind was a little strong, yet we survived and paddled well. Ian helped and looked out for us when we drifted away. Also, Ian took nice pictures of us, so we didn't have to worry about photos. Overall, it feels a little like kayaking but standing up, using arms, legs, and tummy muscles. The sunset view was also beautiful. Apparently, the sunset view is beautiful this time of year, and sunrise views are better during mid-year. The paddling ended with coconut water and a banana muffin to enjoy by the beach of a resort. P.s. For those who wear glasses, no worries. Ian provided a string to hook the glasses so that they wouldn't fall into the sea.

It was interesting and fun. The view was good, the sea was calm. Ian was nice and professional. We enjoyed the tour.

The sunset is beautiful. I recommend going with more friends; it will be more fun. A good experience.
