The paddle boards have LED light systems attached to the bottom of the boards, creating a beautiful glow and attracting marine life. The tour takes place at Nahomi/Maracas in Quepos. It's the perfect little bay area for paddle boarding. We take guests out into the water right before sunset, so they can watch the sun go down from their paddle boards.
