Strap into a water‑propelled hoverboard and rise above Nichupté Lagoon — a short, instructor‑led flight that trades ocean surf for mangrove canyons and aerial carving. Perfect for thrill-seekers with basic balance and a taste for quick, high-flying fun.

The lagoon breathes under a hot sun and the board waits like a mechanical bird at the dock. You step into warm Caribbean air, strap your feet to a hoverboard and feel the first pulse of thrust lift you from the water — the lagoon dares you to edge higher. Nichupté’s still channels and mangrove edges become a playground of spray and sky as you carve, hover and fall back into the warm turquoise.
