“Absolutely loved our SUP tour and would highly recommend Secondreef! Great communication from our guide Eduardo from start to finish. He picked us from our hotel, took us to Secondreef to get ready and after a very short walk we were on the water. Perfect location for all abilities with a sheltered beach to start and plenty of coast to explore. Equipment was in great condition and he gave clear instructions to get even wobbly beginners standing up! The pictures and videos were a lovely touch that provided memories of a brilliant tour.”
