For me there is no better plan than going up to Guatapé to wakeboard with Esteban. I recommend it 1000/10! I recently started practicing this sport and met Esteban, an excellent person and Wakeboard teacher. He has given me very clear instructions and tips that have helped me improve every time we see each other, and always having a great time!

I’ve been wakeboarding with Esteban in Guatapé for three years now, and it’s hands down one of my favorite things about Colombia. The experience out on the water is unbeatable, whether you’re an experienced rider or just starting, Esteban makes you feel right at home. The scenery is stunning, and the vibe is always laid back and welcoming. There’s nothing quite like shredding with friends in this beautiful spot, and I’ll keep coming back as long as I can. If you’re looking for an unforgettable wakeboarding experience in Colombia, this is the place to be!

FAQs

Questions? We've got the answers—but in the end, it's up to you to be a Viking and GO 💪

Is kneeboarding easy for beginners?

Yes, kneeboarding is great for beginners and requires less balance than other watersports.

Is kneeboarding suitable for all ages?

Yes. Kneeboarding is the most accessible towed sport because you stay on your knees instead of standing, so balance is far less demanding. Minimum age is 6. Every rider wears a life jacket and gets a short briefing from the instructor before starting.

Do you provide instruction for kneeboarding?

Yes, our team will walk you through everything to get you started safely.

How fast does the boat go during kneeboarding?

The speed is adjusted based on rider comfort and skill level—typically between 10 to 20 mph.

How much does a kneeboard session cost?

Kneeboard sessions start at 420.000 COP per hour, including the boat, the pilot, the kneeboard, the life jacket and instruction. Your group shares the hour and rotates riders, so the cost covers everyone.

What should I wear for kneeboarding?

Swimwear, plus a towel and dry clothes for afterwards. Bring sunscreen and a light jacket, because the wind on the reservoir feels cold once you are out of the water. We supply the board and life jacket.

How is kneeboarding different from wakeboarding?

On a kneeboard you ride on your knees with a strap across your thighs, so you do not have to stand or balance on edge. That makes the deep-water start far easier and is why most beginners start here.

What is included in a kneeboard session?

The boat and pilot, the kneeboard, a life jacket, instruction for all levels, an intercom helmet for real-time coaching, hydration and participant insurance. You only bring swimwear and a towel.

Can I move on to wakeboarding after kneeboarding?

Yes, and many riders do it the same day. Once you are comfortable being towed and reading the wake from your knees, standing up on a wakeboard is a much shorter step. Just ask the captain to swap boards.

Where do kneeboard sessions take place?

On the Peñol-Guatapé reservoir, launching from Marina Navegar where Vikingos is based. The captain picks a sheltered stretch of water with little traffic, which keeps the surface flat while you learn.
