The friendly, knowledgeable and gorgeous guys at the Sian Kite outpost at Papaya Playa made it easy. They had me in the water and flying in a matter of hours. Equipment was clean and in good repair. My instructor, Matias, was patient and highly competent. The owner, Sian Macondo, made sure we had all the right gear to match the wind and surf conditions. When wind conditions weren't right, we took a break and had a bite at the beach bar directly adjacent to the kiting center. If you are a guest of the Papaya Playa Project resort, the center is easy to find. If not, come to the main entrance of Papaya and tell them you are going to the kite center. A beautiful location with knowledgeable, multi-national locals who were a joy to meet and hang with for the day. Highly recommended.

We were looking for Paddle Board Rentals or SUP as everyone back home calls them. My friend Tori…read moredid the research as she also needed a Private Paddle Board Lesson and she found Playa Standup Paddle. The cool thing was we really didn't want to Paddle Board on the beach in Playa mainly because of all the boats and Jet Skis. So they offered us an option to go Paddle Boarding offsite. Well, then we started talking and we found out that they do custom tours. Which was incredible because we didn't want to rent a car and we didn't want to be stuck on a bus touring around as we would not have control of our time. So, get this they took us to Tulum in the morning, they let us go at our own pace. They told us, this is your day, your time, you choose how to spend it. Come on, who does that... They do. After Tulum we went to this place that was like a screen saver to Paddle Board called Xpu-Ha. We had lunch there also because after doing some SUP and walking Tulum, we were all Hangry, haha. From there we went to Yal Ku, OMG another breathtaking place. It's a Lagoon with crystal clear waters and tons of fish. We snorkels there. So we went to some amazing Ruins, Paddle Boarded on an insane beach and Snorkeled in a beautiful lagoon. Plus they provided transportation, lunch and Cerveza... It was 4 of us, and only $129 each which was all inclusive. Looking back at it, we all agreed we would have paid double as they gave us such a memorable experience and allowed us to dictate our own schedule. Great company, we feel we made memories and friends for life. Give your business to this boutique agency, Great choice...

We also do Private Tours such as Snorkel Tours, Cenotes, Ruins or a combination of activities putting you in the drivers seat of your personal, family or group adventure. Trust us, much better than rushing around on a schedule in a bus. We are a boutique Travel Business and my wife and I have been in the Ocean our whole life and natural born explorers and Tour Guide to many. We grew up surfing, snorkeling and fishing in Southern California then started Paddle Boarding in Hawaii about 2007.We were addicted to SUP immediately. My wife and I have made it a point to live a lifestyle that allows us to share our unique experiences with as many people as possible and chose from that in the Beautiful Mexican Riviera. We opened a Paddle Board & Adventure Business Tour in Playa Del Carmen because we absolutely love this area and what a perfect location to launch a day of amazing activities from. So, you can just Paddle Board or you can Paddle Board in Puerto Adventuras in the morning, head over to Tulum to tour the ruins then go to Yal Ku Logoon for an afternoon Snorkel Tour.
