Sand Hollow Paddle Co — SUP and Kayak Rentals at Sand Hollow Reservoir

Sand Hollow Paddle Co is a paddleboard and kayak rental company based in Hurricane, Utah, specializing in experiences at Sand Hollow Reservoir — the stunning turquoise reservoir set among red Navajo sandstone formations that has become one of Southern Utah's most photographed and beloved recreation destinations. The company focuses on creating memorable on-water experiences through quality equipment, unique offerings like sunset paddle tours and SUP yoga, and the intimate knowledge of Sand Hollow that comes from operating on its waters daily. Whether visitors are looking for a peaceful solo paddle at sunrise, a family kayaking adventure, a sunset tour with panoramic desert views, or the unique challenge of practicing yoga on a paddleboard floating above crystal-clear water, Sand Hollow Paddle Co provides the equipment and expertise to make it happen.

Stand-Up Paddleboard Rentals

The SUP fleet at Sand Hollow Paddle Co includes all-around boards suited to beginners and recreational paddlers, touring boards designed for covering greater distances with efficiency, and oversized stability boards that provide the platform confidence that first-time paddlers need to enjoy the experience without constant concern about falling in. All boards are high-quality inflatable or rigid construction, maintained in excellent condition, and matched to each paddler's size, experience, and intended use. Rental packages include the board, adjustable paddle, personal flotation device, leash, and a dry bag for personal items, providing everything needed for a day on the water. The staff provides a thorough orientation that covers basic paddle technique, how to stand up and balance, turning and stopping, what to do if you fall in, wind awareness, and the reservoir-specific knowledge that helps paddlers choose the best locations and times for their skill level. Sand Hollow's warm, clear waters and generally calm conditions make it an ideal SUP destination, though afternoon winds can create challenging conditions on open water — local knowledge about when and where to paddle is one of the most valuable things the company provides.

Sunset Paddle Tours

The sunset paddle tours are Sand Hollow Paddle Co's signature offering — guided group paddles timed to coincide with the golden hour and sunset that paint the reservoir's red rock surroundings in the most dramatic light of the day. These tours launch in the late afternoon and paddle to scenic locations along the reservoir's sandstone-lined shores, arriving at a prime viewing spot as the sun descends toward the western horizon and the sky transitions through shades of gold, orange, pink, and purple reflected in the still water of the reservoir. The visual spectacle of a Sand Hollow sunset viewed from the water is genuinely remarkable — the combination of red rock, blue water, and desert sky creates a color palette that photography struggles to capture and that participants consistently describe as one of the highlights of their Southern Utah visit. Sunset tours include all equipment, basic instruction for beginners, and a guide who manages logistics and safety while sharing information about the reservoir's geology and natural history.

SUP Yoga and Specialty Classes

SUP yoga classes combine the physical and mental benefits of yoga practice with the additional balance challenge of practicing on a floating paddleboard, creating an experience that is simultaneously playful, challenging, and deeply grounding. Classes are held in calm, sheltered coves where the water is still and the boards remain stable, allowing participants to move through modified yoga sequences that include standing postures, seated poses, and gentle flows adapted for the floating surface. The instability of the board engages core muscles that may not activate during land-based yoga, and the water environment adds a meditative quality — the gentle rocking, the reflected sky, the sounds of water — that many practitioners find uniquely calming. SUP yoga classes are suitable for participants with either yoga or paddling experience and are led by instructors certified in both SUP and yoga instruction. No prior SUP experience is required, as the class begins with basic board familiarization before transitioning into the yoga practice.

Group Experiences and Event Packages

Sand Hollow Paddle Co offers group paddle packages for birthday celebrations, family reunions, corporate team-building events, bachelorette parties, and other gatherings that benefit from a shared outdoor adventure. Group packages include equipment for all participants, instruction, a guide or multiple guides depending on group size, and the coordination that ensures everyone has a safe, enjoyable experience on the water. The company can accommodate groups of various sizes and customize the experience to match the group's interests and abilities — from casual social paddles that prioritize relaxation and conversation to more active guided tours that cover more of the reservoir's scenic coastline. The unique setting of Sand Hollow — where the contrast between turquoise water and red sandstone creates an almost surreal landscape — provides a backdrop that elevates any group gathering from ordinary to extraordinary.
