Vieques Paddleboarding

"It's opener there
in the wide open air."

I was invited to go along on a paddleboarding tour and it was one of the best experiences I've had in Vieques.



We practiced in the bay along the mangroves.  It was much easier than I thought! Normally I struggle with activities involving a lot of balance, but I got the hang of it pretty quickly.  And I actually never fell off!


We learned a bit about the mangroves during a discussion. 


The weather could not have been more beautiful.


We took a swimming break to cool off.  Then we swam to a reef for some snorkeling.  We saw spotted eagle rays, a 2-foot lion fish, and so many beautifully colored fish.  


Back on the boards... 


We left the bay and made it out to the Sea.  The water was rougher and made it a little more difficult but it was so much fun! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Vieques.
