Night paddle boarding San Andrés: LED-lit boards in the sea

Paddle glowing waters under the stars and capture the sea transformed

A night paddle boarding tour in San Andrés where you glide over illuminated shallow waters on an LED-lit board, watching colored lights reveal fish and corals beneath you. The guide meets you on the beach for safety instruction, then leads you on a calm route with breaks for photos and meditation. Hotel pickup and return transportation are included, along with drone footage of your paddle.

The experience

You start on the beach at night with your guide, who walks you through paddle boarding basics and safety before you push off. Once on the water with your LED-lit board, the lights beneath you activate (top and bottom), turning the shallow seabed into a moving display of color. Fish dart through the glow, corals come into view, and the calm surface reflects the starry sky above. The guide stays with you the whole time, steering the route and pointing out what the lights reveal.

The paddle itself is smooth and unhurried. You're not racing or covering distance. You're moving slowly enough to absorb the moment. The guide builds in pauses: time to float, to photograph, to sit with the quiet of the night ocean. A drone captures footage from above, catching both you and the glow spreading across the water. The whole outing runs about 90 minutes from start to finish, ending back on shore with the feeling of having done something most beach visitors never do.

Hotel pickup and return transport are arranged for you, and the tour includes a locker for your belongings on the beach. The experience works for any fitness level. The paddle is gentle and the water is calm. Guided meditation is woven into the breaks, adding to the serenity rather than rushing you through stops.

Top questions

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Child (5 to 7 years); Infant (under 5): free.

What do the LED lights actually show you under the water?

The colored lights mounted on your board illuminate the shallow seabed, revealing fish moving through the water and nearby corals. The glow creates a visual spectacle beneath you as you paddle, turning the ordinary sea floor into something you can see and photograph.

How much paddle boarding experience do I need?

None. The guide teaches you the basics on the beach before you get on the water, covering balance, paddling and safety. The sea is calm and the pace is slow, so beginners paddle comfortably alongside anyone with prior experience.

What's included in the tour besides the paddle and the lights?

Hotel pickup and return transport from the Island Center are included, along with a locker for your belongings, guided meditation during the breaks, and professional photos and videos taken in the water and by drone. You also get a brief safety orientation on the beach.

Can I book a board for two people?

Yes. You can choose a single board or a double board with a transparent window, so you and a partner paddle together and both see the lights beneath you.

What time does the tour start?

The tour runs at night. Your guide will meet you on the beach at the arranged time for your hotel pickup, then lead the paddle during the evening hours when the lights and starry sky are visible.
