Summary: We had a great couple of hours out with Miguel who was very helpful and very friendly. most of us had never done it before, the equipment was good and you were given a life vest , your guide takes photos and you can buy them on line afterwards. our trip was originally booked for 10am but the swell did not suit paddle boarding, we had the option of cancelling and getting a refund or rescheduling till 4pm, so glad we decided to stay around , we had a couple of hours on the beach and a fab lunch in the local restaurant Il Borgo. would definitely recommend this if y ou have a couple of hours spare.
