Fantastic experience with a bunch of friends. We couldn't stop raving about it afterwards. Great opportunity for fun and loads of laughs. The express lesson was thorough and exactly what the girls needed to get going. Nga mihi Mauao adventures. We will be back ❤️

Review of: Cultural SUP Experience
Had an SUP lesson with the family. Great fun, new skill learned 😀. Porina was really helpful, allowed us to re-schedule a couple of times to get the perfect conditions. Great values for money. Highly recommended.
