★Unlimited SUP and kayaking during the allotted time!
*SUP (stand-up paddleboard) is an abbreviation for "stand-up paddleboard." Simply put, it's an activity where you stand on a large board and paddle across the water. It looks similar to surfing, but it can be enjoyed even without waves, and its stability makes it easy for beginners to try.
It's popular for leisurely cruising along the ocean, river, or lake while enjoying the scenery.
It's perfect for families and couples!
