South Padre Island, Texas has many different activities and adventures to offer. From fishing to kitesurfing to bird watching, the island of South Padre on the Gulf Coast of Texas has it all. This week Air Padre Kiteboarding would like to highlight a few favorite past times of many vacationers; south padre surf lessons, kayak rentals, SUP rentals, jet ski rentals, banana boat rides, and parasailing adventures. All these are activities that require little to no experience/ skill, and can be fun for the whole family or group of friends! We have collected some useful information on water sport activities on South Padre Island to point you in the right direction.
Jet skis, also known as wave runners, are a popular wastersport for many visitors of South Padre Island. The Laguna Madre Bay is a huge expanse of shallow water that is a perfect place to see by boat or jet ski. With more than a million acres of water to explore and miles of coastline to see, South Padre Island has many beautiful sites that can easily be seen from a wave runner. Jet Skis can be a fantastic thrill ride for families and friends, and only requires a driver's license to operate. Luckily there are many places to rent jet skis on South Padre Island, Texas. There are three available Yamaha wave runners to rent, ranging from single seater's to triples. Check out the wave runner rentals web page to reserve you spot today!
If you are looking for some thrilling heights, then parasailing is a easy way to catch some air. Parasailing is essentially an oversized parachute that you are strapped into and pulled up into the air by a boat. Parasailing can be done either in the Laguna Madre Bay or Gulf of Mexico on the South Padre Island, Texas coast. the Parasails can accompany one or two people and take them to heights well over 100 feet above the water. Parasailing is a safe watersport that does not require any skills. Take a look at the SPI parasailing web page, to get an idea of how much it costs, and reserve your spot today!
Banana boat rides are great way to get the whole gang involved in a watersport all at once. A banana boat is a large inflatable tube that is pulled behind a boat or jet ski. As many as 5 or 6 people can sit on the banana boat and go for a high speed ride across the water. The great thing is no one has to worry about driving, so everyone in your party can just hang on and enjoy the ride! Jump on over to the banana boat rentals web page for more information, and to reserve a time for your party's adventure.
South Padre kayak rentals are a great way to see the the shallow waters and marine life of the Laguna Madre. Single, doubles, glass-bottom, surf and even fishing kayaks are available to rent daily. Direct access to the water from the shop makes for an easy adventure that people of all ages and abilities can enjoy. All equipment is provided - life preservers, kayaks, and paddles.
