The experience
You start on shore with instruction on the paddle board, paddle, safety line and how to position yourself on the deck: the guide covers what you need to know before the water. Then the group paddles across the Boca Chica channel toward Isla de la Roqueta, a 20-minute crossing that lets you take in the port's different angles and the channel's landscape as you move. The water clarity builds as you approach the island.
Once at Isla de la Roqueta, you spend the rest of the day paddling the island's beaches and swimming in the turquoise shallows. A fruit cocktail waits for you on the sand, and snorkeling equipment is yours to use if you want to look below the surface. The guide stays with the group throughout, and the island's different spots give you the photo moments you came for.
