Few activities put you in the heart of the marine aquascape quite like kayaking. No matter what your destination - the Caribbean, Galapagos, South Pacific, Africa, or even the polar waters of Antarctica and the Arctic - these tours that feature kayaking allow you to witness the marine life from the serene surface of crystal waters. Wonder as a giant humpback whale breaches the surface; see giant turtles and tropical fish glide around your kayak; float over a fever of stingrays as they seem to fly through the water beneath you. These tours tend to feature other activities to get you up close to nature as well, like snorkeling, trekking, or dinghy excursions. Let us know when you're ready to start planning your kayaking adventure!
