What To Expect
Before we hit the water, your experienced guide will teach you the basics of stand up paddle boarding and water safety on land. Whether you’re brand new to stand up paddle boarding or just looking to brush up on technique, this quick intro will have you feeling confident before your tour.
From there, we’ll head out for a 90-minute guided stand up paddle board tour through Huntington Harbour, where you'll be guided through a peaceful network of man-made islands and scenic canals, and underneath low-clearance bridges. This area is one of the safest and most tranquil spots in Southern California for stand up paddle boarding.
Unlike the wave-heavy coastline of Huntington Beach, the harbour offers a more relaxed environment ideal for families, large groups, or anyone seeking a fun, low-stress paddle.
As we cruise past yachts, parks, and small beaches tucked between waterfront homes, your guide will share stories of the harbor’s transformation and the local history from natural wetlands to a mid-century marina community rich with history and maritime culture. Keep your eyes open for local wildlife like egrets, sea lions, herons, and on rare occasions the occasional dolphin.
