Locations

Do you desire to travel to a location where you’ll row, row, row your canoe gently down the stream? Or would you rather wildly paddle it down the river? From tranquil destinations to extreme locations, the world is 70 percent water, so the choices are endless! Pick a destination that reflects your paddling goals and the memories you want to take home with you, and the best canoe trips will be at your pruny finger tips.

Ride elephants, observe wildlife, view beautiful snow-capped mountains, not to mention ogle at Mt. Everest, during Nepal canoeing adventures! Visit UNESCO World Heritage sites of Kathmandu Valley, like Boudhanath Stupa, Pashupatinath Temple, and Kathmandu Durbar Square. You might just pick up some Nepali phrases as you explore this this riveting destination!

Learn wildlife tracking and bush skills while on canoe trips deep in the heart of Africa. Explore the African bush of Botswana around the myriad of channels, lagoons, and islands of the Okavango Delta, or paddle down the Zambezi River in Zimbabwe, which carves out Victoria Falls. That’s one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the world! You might even pick up some Swahili from the locals.

Visit the islands of the Tuscan archipelago, the coast of Argentario, and the Natural Park of Maremma on a canoeing adventure in Italy. In your free time, learn to speak Italian, enjoy horseback riding, trekking, or cycling through the green paths of coastal Maremma and in the islands of Tuscany. With its rich culture, history, and beautiful natural environments, Italy has something to offer everyone.
