About
We will discover the stand-up paddle at Babin Beach, a quiet haven and away from busy circuits. The initiation ended, direction Islet Macou along the Mangrove. Standing on the board, sliding on clear waters, you will have a privileged view on the marine fauna and flora. In a good mood and conviviality we will discover the astonishing richness and complexity of the ecosystem of Grand Cul-de-Sac Marin. We will talk about the main roles of the mangrove, the species that shelter and you will know everything about mangroves. Stand up paddling also allows you to venture into narrow spaces, inaccessible by boat, to discover the beauty of the very heart of the mangrove. This hike will take you under tunnels of plants formed by mangrove drifts. After this visit to the heart of the mangrove, a stop in a small cove for a well-deserved homemade lemonade.

About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- benjamingK1314GB0 contributionsAwesome experience - great guide!The SUP Tour with Mat is really awesome and absolutely worth it. We did SUP before but even if it would have been the first time, Mat takes his time to explain all the details to you. He is fluent in French and English. His knowledge about the mangroves, the nature and the surrounding islands is impressive and he tells it in a very interesting way. Tour lasted around 2h and we would totally recommend it!Written October 24, 2019

Great morning on a paddle in the middle of the lagoon. The Mangrove like you've never seen it before...we go where only crabs go ;-)
The Paddle is easy to use even for beginners like me
Matthieu is a super cool, patient and passionate guide
I highly recommend

What a nice guy Matthew was, at first I thought this wouldn't work since I didn't get anything out of it, but when I got back, Matthew said I could participate in the 50 km peddle world championship.
Anyway, wonderful tour, good material, nice guy and a lot of knowledge.
Her English is good and we were lucky that 2 ladies from France who came along could speak English.
Highly recommended!!!!

My daughter and I are in Guadeloupe for 1 week and this was a highlight for sure! We learned the basics of SUP and time was taken to explain everything thoroughly. Our guide took us on a fun and Ă©ducative tour of the mangroves. This is a wonderful activity. We recommend it fully! Thank you!

I can't say enough about the SUP outing we had with Get up Stand up. They were super helpful instructive for one family member who had never been on a paddleboard before, and they made sure everyone was safe and happy. Matt's English is excellent, and he did a beautiful job explaining about the ecosystem we were visiting. They even took cute pictures of us, since we were hesitant to bring cameras on our boards.
DO IT!

We spend a very nice excursion with Matthieu! We learned a lot about the mangroves, you can feel that he is quite enthousiastic about what he is doing. He took us very patiently around the beautiful mangroves, his englisch is impeccable. Absolutely recommendable!

Truly an experience to remember! Mat has a vast knowledge about the environment and La Guadeloupe in general that he shared with the group. The trail was absolutely beautiful and we all were being taken care of very well. Would absolutely recommend it.

Really lovely being on the water and learning about how important red mango tree is for Guadeloupe’s ecosystem. Matthew was a patient guide having to explain to some of the group in French and then us in English which we appreciated. I was nervous about trying stand up paddling for the first time but Matthew is a great teacher.
Be sure to wear clothes you don’t mind getting wet in, put on lots of sunscreen and bug spray before you leave as once on the water you shouldn’t carry anything. A sunglasses string thing for your neck would have been a good idea. We wore our water shoes but most went barefoot.

I did with my partner a stand-up paddle trip through the mangroves in Guadeloupe and the experience was just wonderful!
The owner Matthew not only taught us how to do the paddle itself, but also told us a lot of very interesting facts about the island, its origins, the mangroves, the wildlife etc.
For those who do not speak Frech like me, it was also great to know he speaks perfect English, so it's very easy to follow along.
I totally recommend this experience to learn more about Guadeloupe!
