River sports in FVG: the difference between canoeing, kayaking and rafting
When talking about outdoor river activities, these three popular river sports are often confused. Here is a brief guide to understand the difference between canoeing, kayaking and rafting and choose the one that is right for you.
Canoeing
The canoe is an open boat helped on by a simple paddle, and its weight makes it perfect even for beginners. Depending on one’s level of experience, canoeing is suitable for simpler, more relaxing routes as well as more intense ones.
Kayak
The kayak is an enclosed boat, narrower and longer than the canoe. The paddle used is a double curved paddle and allows alternating paddling from both sides. Being lighter than the canoe, the kayak is ideal for those hungry for adventure and looking for more challenging routes.
Rafting
Rafting, on the other hand, is practised on inflatable boats called ‘rafts’ and involves descending rapids and rushing watercourses. This is definitely the most adrenaline-pumping river sport, suitable for those who want a breathtaking river experience!
