What is stand up paddle boarding?

SUP is an acronym that stands for “standup paddleboarding,” and it is taking the water sports world by storm. While it is difficult to measure the level of participation in outdoor sports, kayaking has long been considered the fastest-growing water sport of the 1990s and early 2000s. It’s also safe to say that paddling kayaks have gone from the fastest-growing to the most popular. Well, it looks like the sport of kayaking will have to relinquish at least one of those titles.

Standup paddleboarding is quickly becoming the water sport of choice, and while SUP might not be the most popular (yet), it certainly is the fastest growing

Key points to keep in mind

All of our tours are designated as “join tours,” meaning that they are intended for group participation. If you find yourself as the sole participant on a particular booking day, please note that a surcharge of $20 per day and reservation will apply.

For the river excursion, we recommend bringing the following items:

  • A swimsuit
  • A dry bag to protect your belongings
  • Sturdy footwear, such as boots or sports shoes that can get wet
  • A hat and sunscreen for protection against the sun’s rays

Please be aware that during the rainy season, our bike, trek, and elephant trails may require alternate routes due to weather or river conditions in order to prioritize your safety.
