Moana Stand Up Paddle Boards

SUP water safety skills course is a great informative course for all levels, we discussed different PFDs, best way to connect your leg strap to tides, currents, wind and rescue tips

Awesome crew of people who are knowledgeable and really helpful with everything from local conditions, gear, skills and most importantly, great advocates and teachers of SUP safety

Top experience first time paddle boarding with Moana. Toby was very helpful and friendly and gave us lots of good tips. Thanks!

The Sunset Tour with the LED lights on the SUPs was a one-of-a-kind experience. We had amazing views, saw some cool wildlife including jelly fish and the guide was super friendly and awesome. Highly recommend!

Such a unique and amazing experience! Our guide, Paul, was very considerate and took it at a very manageable pace as we were all beginners. Would highly recommend!

Fab service from Toby and the team as always. It was great having the gear ready by the river, we all enjoyed ourselves, even the little one on the Tamariki board. Lovely day out. Thank you.

Just the best! Cruising out from Tahunanui beach onto the calm waters, sun glinting, mountains clear in the background, and the wonderful, experienced, kind teaching of Sam - what an amazing day. Thanks so much!

We had a great time with Paddle Nelson. Perfect service, complete with a lesson for beginners.

Rented a Kayak. Amazing experience on a beautiful part of the beach. They went above and beyond to accommodate us and were friendly and helpful! Definitely recommend

We hired the Big Tahuna for our son’s 13th birthday party. Nine kids in total and nine kids that had an awesome time! Sam from Moana Paddleboards was excellent to deal with and helping with the kids. Absolutely would do this again

Thanks Paddle Nelson we had a great time paddling. Loved your can do, easy going approach we will be back X

Marama was fantastic and very excited with me! Even after bringing my board back for repair she was so quick to help me get it sorted. She is amazing! Thanks Marama!

The whole experience was surreal. Toby was really helpful in explaining the weather conditions and the safe ways to paddle for a beginner! Loved the whole experience!

Great service and gear. We had a fun paddle around the bay and across to the island. Appreciated the loan of the drybags for our gear.thank you

Absolutely amazing experience with a great team. Thanks so much and can’t wait to come back!

What a fantastic day. We choose the lighthouse kayak guided tour and it didn't disappoint. Taylor our guide was informative, fun and game for putting up with 6 crazy friends. We had a blast, thank you so much for making our day

Awesome paddle on smooth waters on a lovely board hire from friendly staff of Moana Paddle Nelson.

Love the paddling experience and the staff member was organised and friendly. Thank you so much for a wonder Morning adventure!

We had a great experience with Paddle Nelson. We (a family group of 6) had a session with Stand-Up Paddle boards (our first time on these), and then a couple of days later came back to make use of their kayaks. Team were very professional, helpful and friendly. Kit was all of a good standard. We had great conditions and a wonderful time. Highly recommended!

Toby was friendly and welcoming and made us feel relaxed about trying out paddle boarding for the first time. He gave a great guide on how to ride the board and he carried the board to the waters edge.
It was a fun experience and I would recommend anyone keen to give paddle boarding a go to hire a board from Paddle Nelson.
