This 2-hour introductory paddle on the Edge of America will get you into the basics of SUP, all in the calm flatwater of the Folly River. All safaris begin with "ground school" or SUP instructions with your Lifeguard Certified Instructors. We'll explore alongside the numerous beautiful native birds and bottlenose dolphins. We'll go with the flow, following the tides and wind direction for a great beginning paddle. At low tide we visit a private beach and go for a swim!

5.00We went for a two-hour SUP tour. Our guide, Devin, was excellent. He gave us a good base lesson before we got into the water so we felt confident and had no issues maneuvering the boards in the water. The water was smooth so we never had to do any strenuous paddling. Devin taught my son and husband tricks to do on the paddle board and even did a headstand on his paddle board. We saw lots of dolphins and several were very close to us. We would definitely go on this trip again!
