Kayaking is basically moving across water with a kayak. It’s easy to confuse canoeing with kayaking at times, but it’s 2018, things have changed. There are big differences between canoeing and kayaking, the way the paddler is seated is one of the differences, plus the way the paddle is being handled. This is why we have made a list of the top 5 places to go kayaking, so you would not be cajoled into canoeing instead of kayaking. You can also find a list of superb kayaks here for your kayaking adventures.
Depending on which type of kayaking you would be interested in, we have selected the top from all types of kayaking you’d want, they are listed below:
New Zealand
There’s no other place to top our list other than beautiful New Zealand seas, packed with nature at its beautiful best, some of the world’s best sights are to be beheld from the water while kayaking. Imagine paddling along the fjords and witnessing towering lush green peaks!
This was at a point called the “eighth wonder of the world” by the famous writer, Rudyard Kipling.
Na Pali Hawaii
Next on our excitingly well researched list is Na Pali coast in Hawaii: this beautiful sight is packed with natural beauty that makes kayaking, excessively exciting for kayakers. The Na Pali coast is about 17 miles long, with lots of fjords with fruits, to make the trip nutritional. It’s somewhat better to go kayaking in the summer between May and September, for optimum enjoyment. Needless to say, since the coast is quite long, the trip usually takes up a whole day, ergo the whole day must be planned as a loosening off experience.
Coming up next on our list of top 5 places to go Kayaking is the;
Johnstone Strait
