5.00This is a great activity. The guides are friendly and patient and we had just the right amount of instruction before getting out on the water. The beach at Stegna is a lovely location for this and we really enjoyed the variety in the session from getting started, learning to turn, paddling to another cove which allowed those who were less confident to try to stand again. We then got a chance to see a shipwreck - we weren't expecting this and it was a nice addition to have snorkel masks for us all and to take a look below the water. Finishing with some tricks was great fun - we may not have been successful in them all but falling in and trying is all part of the experience. I would definitely recommend this, even if you have paddled before it's a bit different in the sea and we all had a laugh. Thank you to the guides for their enthusiasm and patience.
Brilliant fun for all and varied activities throughout the time. Brilliant!

5.00Fabulous day out - two adults and 14yo son. Other teens as well. Great fun had by all. Varied activities throughout the few hours - including a floating picnic! Good equipment. Very clear instructions from beginning to end. Well staffed to keep everyone safe and having fun. Even came an hour away to pick us up and take us back to hotel. Highly recommend.
Great day out - lots of fun and a little bit of excitement

5.00Lots of fun - but be prepared to fall off quite frequently if you are a beginner like we were. The whole experience was really good and the other people in our group were really nice too. Just the right length of time and difficulty level for beginners and overall a good experience. Jumoping off from the high rock was excellent fun. The snack from the local bakery or wherever they get them from were tasty and filled with olives, cheese and spinach.
A superb first try at paddle boarding

5.00I have just spent a enjoyable time with Paddle paradise in Rhodes. They picked me up from the hotel as arranged. We where a small group of 9, all had never paddle boarded before, yet once we had the basics explained about the board, safety and how to get on it on your knees, we where soon off around the edge of the coastline. I am not saying that we did not spend a bit of time in the water after falling off the board a few times, but once you get your balance and confidence you are soon off. We got to a area where we could all enjoy swimming in to a cave, then for throes that wanted to a bout of cliff jumping from about 4 metres, this was followed by a bit of snorkelling, a light snack for lunch and then a return tilt he beach, a throughly enjoyable if not tiring time.
Adventurous Americans looking for activity in Rhodes!
