TLDR? Expedition Colombia is the perfect company for a multi-day kayaking adventure!
Medellin is full of things to do, from museums and restaurants to all-night parties. But it might surprise you that extreme sports are also available in this city!
Are you into kayaking? Don’t wanna go too far to practice this activity? Then keep reading this guide and find out where to go kayaking in Medellin!
You should choose your type of trip depending on how much time you have and the intensity you want out of it.
You can go on intermediate or advanced trips, where you learn paddling techniques. And you can schedule a day trip or a longer, many-days-adventure.
Generally, this is the most intense adventure! A perfect excuse to try this adventure for the first time, the daily trips make up for their short duration with lots of adrenaline.
The purpose of a multi-day adventure is to visit various sites that can be near each other. Sadly, many agencies don’t offer this option.
I recommend the multi-day adventure because it’s long and varied. There are more days of excitement in different spots and levels of difficulty.
Here’s a short but effective list of the things you’ll need when kayaking.
Since you’re going to be at all times into the water, you must bring appropriate clothing, shorts or a bathing suit. Whatever makes you feel more comfortable.
Complements such as:
Optionally, don’t forget an aquatic camera to capture your memories.
Some companies offer the equipment; others ask you to bring:
And, in case it’s a multi-day adventure:
Personal safety’s something that you can’t ignore. So bring your stuff and 65 feet (20m) throw bag, three beaners, two prussic, and allergy medications.
Here are some of the best and most trustworthy companies for your trip. Since this is a somewhat risky activity, you shouldn’t do it with just anyone.
These are some of the companies I’ve tried that made me feel comfortable and secure!
