TRAVEL SPECIAL ...................... WATER SPORTS – Island Romance

WATER SPORTS – 
Island Romance


Top islands and beaches across the globe for adventure

Beat the traffic, heat and the usual runof-the-mill travel plans.
This holiday season head to the most interesting and unique places
to indulge in kayaking and canoeing.
Paddle through the vast Danube Delta in Romania.Tourists indulge
in birdwatching and also come face-toface with communities that are slightly
touched by industrialisation.
Sardinia in Italy boasts of sea-green granite sculptures. Tourists can either take
short, laid-back day trips to longer expeditions. The best time to visit the Sardinia
 in the months of April and May. Read on to know about kayaking in Hawaii,
Tahiti and Namibia.

RHYTHM OF LIFE

Region:
Tahiti; Hawaii; Namibia The latest trend in kayaking is inflatable kayaks.
Also known as the duckies, they can usually be transported by hand using a
carry bag. Most resorts in Bora Bora Island in Tahiti have a kayak as per
request for every hotel room. Much like personalised transport. You will be
in awe of the perfect white-sand beaches, emerald waters where coloured fish
animate the coral gardens as they greet the giant manta rays.

Paddling to offshore destinations is popular in Oahu. The most well known
of these destinations are the pyramid-shaped Mokulua islets off Lanikai Beach.
The twin islets have small beaches on the shores -a white sand beach on the
larger island and a pebble beach on the smaller one. The setting is one of the
most beautiful in all Hawaii. Tourists often go to Lanikai Beach on honeymoon.

Most tourists come to Swakopmund, a Bavarian-style town surreally out of
place on the edge of the Namib Desert, to explore the vast dunes. Few who
visit know that the sandy Atlantic shallows of nearby Walvis Bay are also
home to 2,500 cape fur seals. Kayaking among the seals in the early morning
is a joyous experience: the seals surround the kayaks and leap across.
The seals will make your holiday truly memorable!
