Do I need SUP experience to join?

No. Your guide supports all skill levels, from complete beginners to experienced paddleboarders. The calm morning conditions are ideal for learning.

What's included in the EUR 27 price?

Professional SUP equipment, life jacket, safety gear, experienced guide, and instruction. Confirm with your supplier if transfers or refreshments are added.

What time does it start, and how early do I need to wake up?

Start time aligns with sunrise, which varies (typically 6–7 a.m. in summer, 7–8 a.m. in winter). Your supplier will confirm the exact time and meeting location after you book.

Is it safe for non-swimmers or weak swimmers?

Basic swimming ability is recommended as a precaution. You'll wear a full life jacket, and the water is calm, but discuss any concerns with your guide before the session.

Swim shorts or a wetsuit (depending on season), a rash guard or light top, and water shoes. Avoid cotton. A waterproof bag for valuables is useful.

Can I take photos during the paddle?

Yes, though a waterproof phone case or bag is essential. Morning light on the castle and sea reflections make for stunning shots.

About this activity

Catch Alanya's most magical hour with an early-morning SUP session along the castle-lined coastline, where calm waters and soft dawn light create an intimate paddling experience away from daytime crowds. Professional guides and full safety equipment make this accessible for all skill levels.

Unlike standard daytime SUP tours, this experience takes place at sunrise, when the sea is calm, the light is soft, and the crowds haven't arrived yet — giving you Alanya Castle and the Mediterranean almost entirely to yourselves. Paddling beneath the historic castle walls as the sun comes up creates a setting you simply can't recreate later in the day. With professional equipment, full safety gear, and an experienced guide supporting every skill level, it's an accessible adventure that still feels exclusive and unforgettable.
