There is nothing like viewing the world from a kayak – famous last words! Having heard only great things about this popular watersport and being tempted by the turquoise water right outside my doorstep (I am the luckiest girl in the world!), I finally decided to just go for it. After all, what was I waiting for?

Sun, sea and sand - PARADISE

Well, I am pleased to report that my decision that day has been one of my best (if I do say so myself). After an impressive first attempt, excluding my lack of coordination and several spills in the water – I like to say that I was getting my feet wet (no pun intended), I was hooked! Kayaking is hands down one of the BEST watersports out there. It has now joined my list of favourites, along with surfing, paddle boarding, jet skiing and a few others of course. I am now an avid fan and encourage everyone to try it at least once.

My favourite spot for kayaking would definitely be on the beautiful West Coast of Barbados. Gliding through the crystal clear water, sun on my face and the wind in my hair…PARADISE! Better yet, being able to step out of your luxury villa, walk across the sand, hop in a kayak and off you go. If you are lucky you will even spot a few fish or some friendly turtles – be sure to pack some snorkeling gear as you may want to jump in and say hello!
