Stand Up Paddle Boarding

“Stand tall on the water — a new view of Golden Bay’s quiet beauty.”

What to Expect

Begin at Tata Beach with a short safety briefing. If you’re new, our team will show you how to stand, balance, and paddle safely. Then head out at your own pace - exploring the clear shallows, spotting seabirds, or simply enjoying the quiet views of Golden Bay. SUP is relaxed, safe, and a great way to connect with the coast.
