Description
Get ready to walk on water! Join us and experience the desert from a thrilling new perspective while on the deck of a paddleboard. Our guided paddleboard tour is a perfect introduction to stand up paddling. A paddleboard is similar to a surf board and allows for a standing/paddling form of on-water recreation and touring. On this tour, we learn the basics of launching and landing, techniques for balancing, kneeling and standing, and how to turn and navigate on gentle water. We’ll also have a great opportunity to learn about the amazing ecosystem of a desert lake, and see some of flora and fauna which make this such a unique habitat. This tour is appropriate for anyone with good physical fitness, a willingness to learn a new skill, and a modest sense of adventure.

Beautiful scenery with fantastic guide
Our tour guide, Missy, was wonderful. She shared so much information with us that it helped us have a great rest of our vacation. My husband was pretty new to SUPs, and she was patient with him. If you’re more experienced, you would get to see even more. Saguaro Lake is an absolutely beautiful place to spend a couple of hours! We never would’ve found this on our own.
Operator response
Hi there! I'm so glad that you guys had fun out there with Missy. You're right - Saguaro Lake is absolutely gorgeous and we are happy that we got to explore it with you guys on your vacation to Arizona. Cheers!
