Paddleboarding

Easy to learn. Great fun. Completely addictive.

Paddleboarding is one of the easiest ways to get out on the water and enjoy the beautiful coastline around Porto Heli. Whether you’re new to paddleboarding, need some brush-up tips, or want to improve your technique, our Beach Team will help get you confidently up and paddling.

Paddleboarding is included

With warm, clear water and the sheltered conditions around Nautica Bay, it’s a brilliant activity for beginners, families and more experienced paddlers alike. And because paddleboarding is included with your Ocean Elements holiday, you can grab a board and head out whenever you choose, so long as its within beach opening hours, which is normally 9 to 5pm!

Inclusive Starter Tuition

New to paddleboarding? We’ll get you started.

Paddleboarding is wonderfully accessible, but a few simple tips can make a huge difference.
Our inclusive Starter Tuition is designed to help complete beginners get comfortable with the board and learn the basics in a relaxed, friendly environment.

We’ll show you how to:

  • Set up and carry your board safely
  • Launch and get on the board
  • Find a comfortable kneeling and standing position
  • Balance confidently
    Use an efficient forward paddle stroke
  • Steer and turn
  • Stop and control the board
  • Get back onto your board if you fall in
  • Paddle safely around the bay.

There’s no pressure and certainly no need to stand up straight away. Take things at your own pace and our Beach Team will help you build confidence as you go.

Already a Paddler? Improve Your Technique

If you’re already comfortable on a paddleboard, our team can help you refine your technique and make your paddling smoother, faster and more efficient.

Small improvements to stance, paddle position and stroke technique can make a surprisingly big difference.

Depending on your experience, we can help with:

  • Efficient paddle strokes – getting more power from each stroke with less effort
  • Tracking – keeping the board travelling straight without constantly changing sides
  • Turning techniques – progressing from basic sweep turns to quicker step-back turns
  • Balance and board control – improving stability and confidence in different conditions
  • Paddling into wind and chop – learning how body position and technique can make tougher conditions easier
  • Longer-distance paddling – improving efficiency so you can explore further without tiring yourself out.

Just speak to the Beach Team and they’ll be happy to offer some pointers.

Perfect for Families

Paddleboarding is one of those activities that almost everyone can enjoy.

Children can learn alongside their parents, experienced paddlers can head off for a longer cruise, while complete beginners can start in the shallows and progress at their own pace.

And falling in is half the fun — particularly in the warm Greek sunshine.

Explore Porto Heli from the Water

Once you’ve found your feet, paddleboarding becomes a wonderful way to explore.

Cruise along the shoreline, discover little corners of the bay or simply head out for a peaceful paddle with the mountains and Greek coastline as your backdrop.

Some mornings you might want a proper workout. Other days, simply drifting around on a board before breakfast will do very nicely.

Boards ready. Warm water waiting.
