Description

Experience San Juan’s Condado Lagoon at Sunset: Choose Kayak or Paddleboard!

Enjoy the breathtaking beauty of a San Juan sunset on a kayak or paddleboard tour through the calm Condado Lagoon. As the day fades, paddle through the calm waters of this protected natural reserve, part of the San Juan Bay estuary. The lagoon is a haven for marine life, including manatees grazing on seagrass and tropical fish darting through natural and artificial reefs. 
The surrounding mangroves create a picturesque setting, allowing you to soak in the orange glow of the sunset while exploring the lagoon’s diverse ecosystem. Your local guide will lead the way, showing you the lagoon’s most scenic spots and offering insight into the rich biodiversity and conservation efforts that keep this vital ecosystem thriving. 
Whether you choose to kayak or paddleboard, the sunset tour provides a peaceful yet exciting adventure as the sky transforms into hues of orange and pink, reflecting off the lagoon's surface. It’s a perfect way to end the day after exploring what San Juan has to offer!
No experience is necessary—your guide will provide all the equipment and instruction you need before setting out. With the meeting point conveniently located at the lagoon, there’s no need to worry about transportation. Just arrive ready to unwind, paddle, and enjoy one of San Juan’s most beautiful natural settings as the sun sets over the water.

Wildlife Guidelines

Please be respectful of the fact that coral is a living organism and any standing, touching, or knocking over will irreparably damage the organism that takes a very long time to grow and is essential to our marine reefs. Please also be respectful of any marine animals including but not limited to turtles, rays, sharks, seals, and dolphins. Please never chase, harass, feed, or TOUCH any of the marine species. 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 kayaking or paddleboarding before?

Yes you can! The lagoon’s waters are the perfect place to try kayaking or paddleboarding for the first time due to the calm waters. Our tour guides have years of experience kayaking/paddleboarding and will be with you all the way. The tour guides will deliberately go out of the way to make sure you are comfortable and getting the hang of it. Kayaking/paddleboarding is easy to learn, but we caution you... it is very addictive!

If you are looking for more information on beginner kayaking or paddleboarding, check out TripOutside’s blog post on Kayaking for Beginners or Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP) Guide for Beginners!

What if I fall out of my kayak or off my paddleboard?

Falling out of a kayak is very rare; however, there is always a risk for it to happen. Your guide is well trained for such instances and will assist you. All of our tours are done in calm waters. 

Falling off a paddleboard is extremely common when learning how to use an SUP for the first time and even common as an experienced paddler! A leash is attached to the board and should stay attached to your ankle at all times so when you fall off the board does not float away and you can use the leash to pull it back towards you. 

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.

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.

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.

We have several tour options in San Juan ranging from snorkeling to cruiser biking! Please check them out!
