Belize Paddleboard Trips

We are delighted to see Belize and our SUP trips featured in this recent Lonely Planet article as one of the “9 best places for long-distance SUP adventures”. The article highlights our stand-up paddleboarding trips in the beautiful Southwater Caye Marine Reserve. The Coral Islands SUP trip is the ultimate lodge to lodge paddleboard experience created with SUP master instructor, Norm Hann.

We are also thrilled to see Norm’s Great Bear Rainforest SUP trip featured in the article. During the summer months, Norm specializes in offering SUP and eco adventures trips to the Great Bear Rainforest on the remote north coast of British Columbia, Canada.

Then hop into a hammock to watch the sunset each night from a family-run lodge…”  9 best places for long-distance SUP adventures - Article by Mark Johanson - Lonely Planet (read the full article)
