TOWAN HEADLAND

From the comfort of our heated changing rooms, you’ll be kitted up in a toasty warm Rip Curl wetsuit, buoyancy aid, helmet and snorkel. You’ll then join one of our experienced instructors to launch our super SUP board into the crystal-clear waters around Towan Headland. This rocky playground holds an array of nooks, crannies, caves and caverns to explore. You’ll navigate the board in and around these old smugglers hideouts whilst hearing the historic tales that echo this fascinating past.

 

We launch and land from two of Newquay’s lush, semi-secret coves. The start to experience is an adventure, as we walk down a rock path to the water’s edge. It’s worth it as the scenery is breath taking, there is some incredible coastal wildlife in the area, and you really are experiencing the best of Newquay’s coastal fringe. We take the walk down to the water slowly, the Super SUP will be waiting in the cove for you.

 

Our Snorkel Super SUP Safari has been designed to teach you many core skills including how to launch and land, stand up and balance, hold your paddle, perform basic strokes and how to make directional changes as a team. It’s natural to begin your Snorkel Super SUP Safari kneeling down on the board, many people do. Our coaches are there to guide you step-by-step, helping you along the way. Within no time you will confidently progress from kneeling to standing; by the end of the lesson you’ll be a pro!

 

EXPLORATION STATIONS

After successfully navigating the aquatic landscape, your instructor will seek out an area to anchor down and dive a little deeper. Whilst moored up, the SUP becomes a diving board from which to leap into the water in a series of games and competitions! Winners (and losers!) established, it’s time to be transported through the lense of your mask and witness the underwater marine ecosystem below as you explore this marine conservation area.

 

Experience the wonder as you gently survey a new underwater world full of fish, crabs, seals, starfish and lobsters. This is also a protected seahorse breeding site so keep your eyes open for some unique and magical friends!

 

CRIBBAR REEF

Just a stone’s throw from Towan Headland and Newquay Activity Centre is the Cribbar reef; a renowned big wave surf spot during the winter months. More often, though, the Cribbar is the tranquil home to a rich array of reef loving wildlife. There isn’t a better place on a calm sunny day to see Newquay’s rocky reef structure and incredible marine habitats.

 

DEAD MAN’S COVE

Paddle closer into the headland and you’ll be in the cove of Dead Man’s Cove, just 200metres along from the world famous Fistral Beach. It’s rock pools and lagoons host an abundance of miniature sea life, easily watched and examined with your instructor from your Super SUP! With the iconic Headland Hotel overlooking the snorkel site, it’s a view like no other when looking back towards land. Take a moment to appreciate the sights as you flip the classic ocean view on its head.

WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE IS EXTREME WEATHER?

We are super fortunate to operate many of our activities within the shelter of Towan beach. We choose the tide and weather times that deliver the very best conditions for Super Stand Up Paddleboard Tours. However, we are at the mercy of Mother Nature and sometimes she may have different plans for us. We always check the forecasted conditions but if the wind or swell picks up unexpectedly, we may need to change the time or location of your tour. Alternatively, we can move your booking onto a different activity, safe from unsuitable or dangerous SUP conditions.

 

Although we always aim to experience snorkelling as best we can, sometimes Mother Nature has other ideas for us! If water visibility is low during your session, we will always provide more time on the Super SUP instead.

 

Over 95% of our tours go ahead unaffected by the weather but, in the unlikely event that this does happen, we have excellent back-up options for you to choose from. If we need to amend your stand up paddle board booking due to adverse weather, we will let you know in advance. (No need to call us). We appreciate your understanding.
