Paddleboarding or Kayaking

Duration 2-4 hours Cost $$ Category Outdoorsy Vibe Active Location Outdoor

Rent paddleboards or kayaks at a local lake, river, or calm bay for a unique water perspective on the landscape.

Ideas to make it better:

  • Pack a waterproof dry bag with snacks and a small speaker so you can drift, eat, and listen to music out on the water
  • Plan a route to a specific destination — a hidden cove, a waterfall, or a sandy bank — so the paddle has a purpose
  • Rent a tandem kayak instead of individual boats for a built-in teamwork challenge that requires actual coordination
  • Time your paddle for sunset so you're out on the water during the best light of the day
