About this experience

You can take a boat, a kayak, or even a water scooter to explore the lake, but nothing compares to an adventure on a SUP.

Paddling on a SUP is the most peaceful activity that allows you to explore every corner of the lake's coastline. It gives you incredible freedom because once you stand up on that SUP, you'll feel like you're floating on the water.

It's the one activity that allows you to coast around nooks and crannies, just like a young child. Lake Ohrid is the oldest natural lake in Europe. It possesses a unique aquatic ecosystem of worldwide importance, with more than 200 endemic species. On a SUP, you get to observe all of it.

Want to swim where no one's around? Go for it. Take your family and people you know and organize a fun adventure. Need quiet time away from the noise & everyone and their friends? Cool, hop on a SUP. It'll take you places where you can sit quietly with your mind and soak in the calmness of the nature that surrounds you.

What you'll see

Once we meet, exchange contact information, and provide life jackets for your safety, we'll bring the paddleboards into the water. If you're a beginner, we'll teach you a short, 15 minute lesson on how to paddle and maintain balance on the board.

And just like that, you're off on your adventure, solo or with friends and family. Of course, you can head in any direction from the place where we drop off the paddleboard. But, we recommend you start paddling smoothly along the coastline and explore the lakeshore reed beds and wetlands -- a habitat for birds, fish, and other animals.

Another option is to head to the village, explore beaches, go into the lake's depth for a swim, or rest and recharge. Whatever you choose, you won't regret it! Lake Ohrid is the oldest natural lake in Europe. It possesses a unique aquatic ecosystem of worldwide importance, with more than 200 endemic species.

Once your time is up! please start paddling back to the shore, and we'll take over from there :) We can't wait to meet you and hope you enjoy a peaceful and fun paddling time!

Meeting point
