Whats easier… canoeing or kayaking?
Back to Questions All of our trips include paddling instruction to ensure you get a chance to learn to paddle either a canoe or kayak properly. Each of the two have their advantages and disadvantages. The canoe is perfect where portages are required therefore trips that have portages are only offered using canoes. All of our tours offered in British Columbia are sea kayaking trips as it is best suited to ocean travel. Kayaks are better suited to the coast because they lack the tall sides the canoe has that catches wind and have a covered deck that sheds water. It is impossible to say one is always easier than the other but if a person were to plan to paddle solo with no previous experience, the kayak would be easier to move in the required direction with less training than the canoe.
