Water sports can give you a unique view on familiar scenery. Heading to the bottom of a canyon and then climbing out lets you see an entire ecosystem you’re bound to miss from above. Kayaking can bring you to places you’d never reach on foot and let you see parts of the world you would otherwise miss.

Stunning scenery

Enjoy stunning views out over some of Earth’s most amazing landscapes when you head out onto the water. Whether it is remote islands off the coast of Japan, the gorgeous walls of the Grand Canyon or the verdant walls of the Verdon Gorge, water sports can get you up close to some of the most scenic spots you could possibly imagine.

Excellent exercise

Whether you are kayaking, canyoning or white water rafting get some exercise while having a blast! Work out muscles that you don’t use every day as you use your upper body to row that kayak, control a careening raft with your core and utilize a little bit of everything when you canyoning. Who knew getting a workout could be this fun?

One of the biggest perks of taking part in water sports is that they can be done just about anywhere.

You can find rafting trips all over the world, each of which offers something a bit different. Enjoy wildlife viewing on the Zimbabwe River in Chobe National Park or get your adrenaline pumping in the rushing rapids of the Colorado River in the western United States.

Kayaking similarly allows you to visit various places that you could not get on foot alone. Explore the innumerable fjords around Funnmark in Norway, checking out the mountains as you go or explore the lakes of Bariloche. Either way you won’t be disappointed.

Finally canyoning gives you a bit of a smorgasbord of options. Climb, swim and boulder in one of the many ravines found in England’s Lake District or head to the Suzuka Mountains in Japan for an unforgettable waterfall climbing experience.

You are bound to find endless opportunities for adventure and discovery on any water sports trip!
