An exhilarating and satisfying sea kayaking 'trip of a lifetime' on Vancouver Island.

It's one thing to witness the power of Africa's mile-wide Victoria Falls, created by the Zambezi River as it flows between Zambia and Zimbabwe; it's something altogether life-changing to hike to the base of the falls, hop in a rubber raft, and give yourself over to the river's fury.

Are you a beginning paddler looking forward to exploring your local waterways for the first time? The Northeast offers a wealth of options.

Typically, to retrace the Lewis and Clark Trail, you have to make a choice: Bike it, hike it, or canoe it.

Outfitters are raising the stakes, and steaks, on rafting by placing added emphasis on food preparation and cooking.

Today’s inflatables are lightweight, extremely durable, and often safer and less expensive than their hard-shell counterparts.

Westwater Canyon is the undiscovered gem of the Colorado River! Sheer sandstone walls climb over 1,500 feet above the river, and eagles soar overhead.

It's a challenge to find a group of tropical islands that's both easy to access and ideal for sea kayaking - and even rarer to discover one that hasn't succumbed to commercialism and crowds.

We had 12 people show up, from Novice first timers to seasoned ocean kayakers, from stubby kayaks to sleek composite ocean kayaks, plus we had one canoe manned by... canoeists! And good ones at that.

The first time you get into a canoe, it’s like the beginning of a love affair. Everything is exciting and new. You can’t get enough time together. All you want is to be alone on the water with your floating friend.

I'm sure rafting the Chattooga River on the border of Georgia and South Carolina, where the movie Deliverance was filmed, would bring movie flashbacks and talk about its famous rape scene with sadistic mountain men.  

The Pacific Northwest offers some of the finest kayaking destinations in the U.S. and fall is the perfect time to get out on the water.
