Why choose Canoeing or Kayaking Travel Insurance?
Canoeing and kayaking are popular ways to explore rivers, lakes and calm coastal waters while abroad. Kayaking usually involves a narrow boat and double-bladed paddle, while canoeing uses an open boat and single-bladed paddle. Both activities are widely available through guided tours and local rentals.
We can offer cover for a range of canoeing and kayaking activities, from gentle paddling to more challenging water conditions. This includes white water canoeing and kayaking on rivers graded 1 to 3, as well as higher-grade white water on grades 4 and 5 for more experienced paddlers. We can also cover inshore sea canoeing and kayaking, allowing you to explore sheltered coastal waters as part of an organised or recreational trip.
