On one side, dense mangroves. On the other, a capital city skyline. Condado Lagoon bridges the calm of the mangroves with the bustle of downtown San Juan, and your paddle runs straight between the two. The tour starts with a short lesson from a certified instructor, so you can arrive having never stood on a board and still push off with confidence. From there the lagoon is yours to cover at your own pace, drifting along the mangrove line while fish move below you and seabirds work the shallows. Calm water, a city skyline, and the chance to enjoy both from a paddleboard.
