About this tour
Learn to stand-up paddleboard along Torrevieja's glassy Mediterranean waters, where calm conditions make mastering the basics straightforward for first-timers of any age. This 90-minute session suits families, small groups, and solo learners with zero experience. You'll get hands-on instruction, full kit, and a drink afterwards. The town's sheltered bay is ideal for building confidence before you're ready to venture towards hidden coves and rock formations.

What to expect
You'll meet your instructor at the launch point and spend the first 20 minutes getting fitted and learning paddling technique in shallow water. Once you're steady on the board, you'll paddle out into the bay, moving at an easy pace. The water here stays remarkably calm most days, so expect a smooth ride rather than any dramatic swells. Your instructor will point out local landmarks—rock outcrops, small beaches tucked into the shoreline—as you explore. The whole outing feels more like a gentle float than a workout, though your core will definitely feel it. Finish with a cool drink and chat about what you've seen.
Good to know
Bring a towel and a change of clothes; you'll get wet. Sunscreen is essential—the Mediterranean sun reflects off the water. Public transport stops nearby if you're not driving. The bay is sheltered but occasionally choppy in winter; summer and autumn offer the flattest conditions.
