Stand Up Paddle Boarding on Lake Wanaka

Description

Join the latest water sports craze and give Stand Up Paddle Boarding a go on the stunning Lake Wanaka! Unlike traditional surfing where you sit on the board, Stand Up Paddle Boarding involves standing on the board and using a paddle to propel yourself through the water.

Before setting out on your adventure you will take part in a one hour lesson with a knowledgeable guide, covering all of the basic skills to be proficient in SUP. After this, you will be put to the test on your chosen mission. Choose to explore Lake Wanaka away from the crowds or paddle to the start of the Upper Clutha River and travel down the river between the Lake Outlet and Albert Town.

Whether you have tried surfing before or not SUP will provide you with a great work out whilst allowing you to explore the local area and its natural beauty. 

The Lake Escape - The perfect way to explore Lake Wanaka away from the busy crowds!

River Taster - A unique guided tour of the Clutha River. Designed for beginners to experience Paddle Boarding on flowing water

River Lower Pro - Designed for the experienced Stand-Up Paddler who is keen to run some of the playful grade 1-2 white water rapids. Test your skills on a 19km stretch between Wanaka and Luggate.
