$40–$80
$40-80 per person

Short answer on paddleboarding: yes, it's worth it at $40-80 per person. But which operator you pick matters more than the activity itself.

The Sea of Cortez side offers calmer water ideal for beginners, while the Pacific side brings more waves and current for experienced riders. Medano Beach is the main hub for rentals.

Morning sessions get the calmest conditions — wind picks up after noon most days. The sweet spot is 8-10am for flattest water.

Pro tip from locals: the resort fee adds 30-50 dollars per night - factor it in.
