Canoeing and Kayaking in various Queensland locations – Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, and right up north in Cairns.
What’s the difference between a canoe and a kayak? A canoe is usually open topped and is propelled with a single bladed paddle. You sit or kneel in a canoe. A kayak is propelled by a double bladed paddle. Kayaks usually have a closed top and you sit in the kayak. There are different shaped kayaks for using in different types of water.
Here are some kayak tours and experience vouchers.
