One of the world’s most popular water sports, whitewater canoeing involves paddling a canoeing on a whitewater river.
While it may sound like an extreme sport, whitewater canoeing can be enjoyed by everyone from beginners to experts. Some courses are actually quite relaxing and very forgiving to less skilled paddlers. Others are very physically and technically demanding.
Whitewater rivers are graded from the gentle Grade I to the severe Grade VI. It can be a competitive sport with slalom gates, or it can be purely a recreational activity to see how your canoeing skills fair against rough water.
Let us guide you with your whitewater canoeing travel adventures.

Modern canoes are quite large and are designed to be able to carry plenty of equipment. This means that you can stay comfortable for a number of days or weeks in your canoe.
Canoe touring usually involves paddling during the day, enjoying the scenery and the wildlife. Before night the participants come ashore and set up camp for the night.
