Paddleboarding in Las Terrenas
Glide across calm turquoise waters and explore hidden coves along the stunning coastline of Las Terrenas on a stand-up paddleboard.
Las Terrenas offers some of the most scenic stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) in the Dominican Republic. The warm Atlantic waters vary by beach: Playa Bonita has calm, reef-protected water but also beach break waves, while Playa Cosón can have surf and wind. Check conditions before paddling.
Morning sessions are especially magical when the water is glassy smooth and the palm-fringed coastline reflects on the surface. Guided tours paddle along the coast to explore hidden coves, mangrove estuaries, and even venture to small offshore rocks. It's a peaceful way to enjoy the natural beauty of the Samana Peninsula while getting a full-body workout.
