Lake and river kayaking holidays
River kayaking holidays are not all about rapids. You can be a beginner who likes to float rather than fling yourself down canyons from Canada to Croatia, Finland to France. Or take on the ultimate safari, from the water, paddling past hippo on the Zambezi or moose in Poland. The Alps will always bring a bit of white water frolics, of course, with river kayaking holidays to suit all ages and levels.
