Visiting Benagil Caves is one of the best things to do in the Algarve and you’ll likely have seen it come up many times as you do research for your Portugal trip. On my recent trip to the Algarve coast, I was keen to try kayaking to the Benagil Caves as I’d seen photos of…
The pretty town of Lagos, Portugal is home to beautiful sandy beaches, dramatic cliffs, and azure waters that make them perfect for taking a kayaking Lagos adventure.

A few years ago we bought a paddleboard after a few failed attempts with an inflatable kayak. Since then we’ve paddle boarded on Emerald Lake in Yoho National Park, down rivers near Vancouver, and on the ocean and lakes throughout British Columbia in Canada. They’re still going strong and we LOVE our paddleboards. If you’re…

Ever since we moved to Vancouver four years ago (how is it that long already?!) I’ve wanted to do some Deep Cove kayaking and Indian Arm camping. We’d taken out our old Intex inflatable kayaks on the Indian Arm before but had yet to make it over to Twin Islands which is the closest island…
Deep Cove and kayaking are pretty much synonymous. On any sunny weekend, you can find dozens of people outside of Deep Cove kayak rentals getting ready to hit the water and go kayaking on the Indian Arm. It’s one of the best places to kayak in Vancouver by far. Kayaking the Indian Arm is something…
A while ago, my husband and I bought two Intex Challenger k2 inflatable kayaks. We’ve used these kayaks a number of times and they’ve saved us a lot of money on kayak rentals around Canada! However, on a weekend away in Harrison Hot Springs we noticed that one of the kayaks seemed to have a…
Summer is just around the corner, and for many adventure-seekers, kayaking is one of the best ways to spend a sunny day in Vancouver.
