Description

Try Kayaking with your Feet in San Juan!

Discover a whole new way to explore the stunning Condado Lagoon in San Juan with a pedal-powered kayak! Unlike traditional kayaks, where you use a paddle, these innovative bicycle-style kayaks allow you to navigate by pedaling with your feet, offering a hands-free, more comfortable, and faster way to explore the lagoon. The pedal kayak gives you greater stability and control, making it perfect for beginners or anyone looking for a relaxing yet adventurous way to enjoy the water. With the award-winning Salty model from Old Town, you can even reverse smoothly, making your journey even more versatile.

Located in the heart of Old San Juan, Condado Lagoon is a protected natural reserve and part of the San Juan Bay estuary, offering an incredible opportunity to experience one of Puerto Rico’s most unique ecosystems. As you pedal through the calm waters, you might encounter manatees feeding on seagrass or glimpse other marine life thriving in harmony with the lagoon’s natural and artificial reefs. Surrounded by draping mangroves and exciting city landscape, the pedal kayak lets you fully appreciate the natural beauty of the area without the need for paddles, leaving you free to take pictures and videos of the sights around you!

There’s no need for transportation or complicated logistics—just meet at the edge of the lagoon, where the pedal kayaks are ready to go. Renting a bicycle kayak allows you the freedom to explore completely on your own!

Enjoy their company if they approach from a distance and calmly move away from them if in their path.

FAQs

Can I go if I’ve never gone bicycle kayaking before?

Yes you can! The lagoon’s waters are the perfect place to try bicycle kayaking for the first time due to the calm waters. Kayaking is easy to learn, but we caution you... it is very addictive!

If you are looking for more information on beginner kayaking, check out TripOutside’s blog post on Kayaking for Beginners!

What if I fall out of my kayak?

Falling out of a kayak is very rare; however, there is always a risk for it to happen. If you are a weak/inexperienced swimmer or have a fear of the water, we recommend you wear your flotation at all times while in the kayak.

If I want to extend my rental past an hour, can I?

Of course! If you're having fun and want to keep paddling, we are flexible. Just let us know!

What happens in case of bad weather?

Our rentals are open rain or shine! We won't cancel your rental reservation.

What kind of wildlife might I see?

Condado Lagoon is home to the Caribbean Manatee. For the best chance of seeing the manatees, we recommend visiting the lagoon in the morning, and midweek when it is less crowded. You might also encounter sea turtles and a variety of birds that call the mangroves home.

Are there any required entrance fees for Condado Lagoon?

There are no fees required to enter the lagoon.

What about sharks?

Incidents of sharks biting people in Puerto Rico are very rare. Fatal shark bites are extremely rare, especially considering the number of people in Puerto Rico’s waters. People who enter the water need to recognize that there are hidden dangers. A number of marine animals can cause serious injury to people, and sharks are just one example. Entering the ocean should be considered a “wilderness experience,” where people are visitors in a world that belongs to the sharks. The risk of injury caused by sharks is extremely small, but it is a risk accepted by anyone who enters the shark’s world. By learning more about sharks, using common sense, and observing the following safety tips, the risk may be greatly reduced.
