Activity Holiday Insurance

Kayaking

Kayaking is a fantastic sport for many abilities and can take place in any body of water, from urban canals to the open ocean. Whitewater kayaking involves taking a kayak down rapids. Sea kayaking is just one form of kayaking that can be undertaken in a day or for a longer expedition. In surf kayaking, a specially designed kayak is used to ride the ocean waves, using the kayak to perform the same moves as a regular surfer. Kayaking is very popular with young people who are known to get the bug and explore as many rivers and gorges as they can during free time. To use the paddles in strong currents requires a level of fitness, but people of all abilities can start kayaking in calm waters to build up proficiency.

Always go with someone qualified when you start off and find a club where you can hire all the necessary equipment. Kayaking is a competition sport and included in the Olympic Games under the umbrella category of canoeing. Speed, stamina, accuracy, endurance and boat handling skills all count towards achievement in this activity.

You can go on a bespoke kayaking holiday, or do it as part of your break whilst you are already on vacation.
