One of our favorite ways to explore new places (and also one of our most frequent activities at home) is paddling. Whether that be kayaking, SUP, canoeing or going rafting we love getting out on the water to see wildlife and get a different perspective of a new place.
We have paddling guides for all around the USA and Canada. From reviews of specific kayaking tours to recommendations for lakes and rivers to get out on when you’re traveling, we have so much to share! We also have gear guides for some of our favorite paddling equipment.
If you have any questions about kayaking with kids or need a recommendation for your upcoming trip, please let us know. We’re happy to share our favorite water trails!
Doing a multi-day rafting trip with kids may seem like more than you can handle, but it’s actually an incredible experience and can be very easy. See what the process and adventure is like rafting with OARS (we did a Utah trip) and how YOU can plan for this epic family expedition.
