Single, double and triple kayaks, as well as plastic and inflatable kayaks made of modern materials are used for trips on the sea and lakes.
Generally, in the world, one of the most popular types of kayaking is sea kayaking. For example, in New Zealand the most popular type of adventure tourism is sea kayaking in the Abel Tasman National Park. Traveling along the coast you can observe seals, a variety of birds and relax on the most magnificent wild beaches.
As a rule, it only makes sense to buy a sea kayak for those who live by the sea or lake, and when traveling the world, sea kayaks can be rented at local boat stations. A guide will tell and show you the theory of controlling a recreational kayak in 10 minutes, and then sea kayakers only have to look around and paddle. Big waves can be a serious challenge in sea kayaking, but most tourist routes take place in bays and coves protected from ocean waves.
Expedition kayaks are specifically designed for autonomous traveling
While rapids kayaks are usually small and not designed to carry gear, sea expedition kayaks are specifically designed for long, self-contained trips through wilderness areas that are virtually impossible to reach by other transportation.
