If you are fond of exploring new and exciting places, kayaking is one of the best adventurous activities to do this. It not only is a fun activity but also allows you to have a thrilling experience with your vessel.
We talked to some of our readers and here is what they say.
However, the fact that makes this activity even more exhilarating is doing it with your companions. Further, the place you choose for kayaking also plays a prominent role in making this activity more fun. Mentioned below are some of the best places for kayaking around the world.
1. Nepal – By Rob
Being among the graceful mighty Himalayas, Nepal offers an amazing kayaking thrill for all. From high-grade kayakers to mere kayaking lovers, it’s one of the impressive holiday destinations to visit. There is so much to explore as you can enjoy the magnificent views of mountains and rivers while paddling and when bored, try exploring the region of Mt. Everest. Also, it can be an excellent idea to join the White Water Festival held every year in Nepal, where you can meet some other renowned kayakers.

2. Norway – By Rohan
I think Norway is one of the few countries that do not need a reason to visit. Being among the beautiful lands of great phenomenal events like the Northern Lights or midnight sun, this destination has something amusing for everyone and when it comes to kayaking, the adventure goes to the next level with its top-notch famous rivers in the world like Sjoa and Urula. Even a single visit to this land can give you many once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

3. New Zealand – By Shreya
Filled with natural wonders, New Zealand is among the best places to go kayaking for every kayaker whether who is looking for grade 2 or grade 5+ kayaking. With its panoramic views of the North Islands, this place is great for the fun-filled kayaking thrill. Even if you merely want to enjoy classic kayaking runs, the Alpine mountains and a series of classic valleys of South Island allow you to enjoy the serene views while cheering for kayakers. Also, the land of New Zealand has a plethora of long kayaking rivers, so you can have plenty of options to choose from.
One of the most spectacular experiences of my life was speed boating on the Waimakariri with Alpine Jet Thrills! Kids kept turning around and yelling “THIS IS AWESOME!!” to me, which is my favorite #MVInterim thing. We are LOVING #MVNewZealand2023 if that’s not obvious 🙂 pic.twitter.com/geieyhbsiJ

4. Uganda – by Shreyansh
Uganda’s White Nile became a popular place for kayaking in the last decade. Not only for its spectacular big waters but for its renowned surf waves as well, the country is an excellent choice for thrill-seekers. It is an excellent place to spend vacations in the warm weather and water with awesome communities while paddling. Also, you can freely come here as a beginner and learn kayaking in silent lakes or rivers without hitting the rush of the White Nile’s majestic waves.

5. Chile – By Lolita
When looking for a renowned country for kayaking, Chile can’t be left out of my list. Anything that a kayaker wants to have an ultimate adventure, the country of Chile offers all of it. From marvelous waterfalls to enchanting shiny blue rapids of the Futaleufu River, it’s the coolest place that you can ever choose for kayaking. Another amazing fact that makes Chile great for everyone is the fact it has something for all whether you want a decent photo of crystal bright water or looking for adventure as a hardcore creek boater.
