Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP) Trips on Watamu’s Mida Creek

A great way to explore Watamu

Stand Up Paddleboards are a great way to see Watamu, get somewhere, and get in touch with your abdominal muscles!  
You go with the wind and the current and everyone can do these trips

 
 
 
 
 

The trips are run at the level of your fitness and ability.  Absolutely no SUP experience is necessary – paddlers with experience can choose a more challenging trip.

The trip is done on with an emphasis on safety.  The trip will last approximately 3 -3 1/2 hours and, depending on the tides, the winds and the trip you want, might include:

  • Drop-off at the starting point at Mida Creek

  • Briefing for the SUP, paddles and life jackets and guiding from our great local guides

  • Exploring the smaller channels of Mida and walks and swims in our favourite places

  • Bird watching, magical mangrove walks,  stopping for a picnic or swim

  • Enjoying the sunset, at the right time of month – moonrise and SUP under the full moon

  • Drinks and snacks,  transport back to Treehouse

Some of our trips are in the ocean where you might SUP for a coffee at sunrise, explore the Coral Gardens, or SUP to Watamu Village for what some consider the best ice cream in Kenya!

All ages / fitness levels welcome. No SUP experience necessary confidence in water is good.
