Stand-Up Paddling in Palau

Stand up paddling is making its way around the world, and has now arrived in Palau! It’s a match made in heaven. Palau with its clear, flat waters, year-round warm temps, and amazing scenery is the perfect place for this sport that is gaining in popularity all over the world. Stand up paddling is fun, easy to learn, and a fantastic way to do some sight-seeing and be friendly to nature.

We spent 7 wonderful months paddling to our hearts' content in paradise. Even though we said our sad goodbyes to Palau in June 2009, stand up paddling is in Palau to stay. We've left our good friend, Fuanes Oiterong, a bunch of stand up paddle boards and, paddles and he has started Stand Up Paddle Tours. Look for Fuanes out on the water or his signs on the main road in Koror. Call him, email him and set up a time go get your feet wet with him. It's an amazing experience you will treasure for years. Fuanes is a native Palauan and knows and loves the waters of Palau like crazy.
