Water sports have a unique feature that doesn’t apply to all types of sports: in addition to providing physical exercise, they often come with a high dose of fun and originality. Perhaps it's because water isn’t our natural habitat, or because many of these sports can only be practiced in summer (unless you’re a professional with the means to do them year-round), they’re usually associated with vacations and leisure time. As such, they are special moments we enjoy to the fullest.
For some of them, all you need is to get the right gear and dive in, but for others, especially at the beginning, it’s essential to have an expert nearby to guide you—since they often blend sport with adventure. Get your adrenaline pumping with water sports like rafting, kayaking, and water skiing, or simply relax aboard a yacht out at sea. At Reserving, we offer a wide range of options. We’ll help you buy tickets, reserve your spot, and keep you updated on the best deals and last-minute bargains.
Types of Water Sports
What comes to mind when we think of water sports? Probably swimming, maybe water polo… But our thoughts quickly drift to the sea: surfing, water skiing, diving, snorkeling… And on a river or lake: rafting, canoeing, kayaking… Without even realizing it, we’ve already mentioned several types of water sports, grouped into three main categories: pool, sea, and river or lake. Though some can be practiced in more than one type of water body.
All of these require movement, a willingness to be active, and full alertness. And now you might say: “I'm on vacation and I just want to relax.” No worries—we’ve got something for you too. We’ve bent the rules a little and included some relaxing adventures in the water sports category: boat cruises, speedboat rides, yacht trips, and excursions to stunning islands. Not much sport involved, but definitely aquatic.
Water Sports in the UK
While water sports can be practiced in pools, here we’ll focus on those done at sea. First stop: Newquay, Cornwall. If you don’t want to travel far, you can spend a week there without repeating an activity: kayak tours, boat rides, surf lessons, snorkeling, paddleboard tours or classes. Boredom is not an option in Newquay.
Snorkeling and paddleboarding are two activities you can do in many coastal areas. Just visit our website, choose your favourite beach, buy your ticket, and book your hotel—all in one go. These activities often go hand in hand with marine wildlife watching, like snorkeling in the Isles of Scilly or seal-spotting while snorkeling in the Shetlands.
For diving, try an introductory dive in the Orkney Islands, or take an advanced course in Plymouth or Oban, Scotland. Before you fully relax, how about a kayak tour on Lake Windermere, or paddling down the River Wye? Finally, enjoy your downtime: boat party with food in Brighton, trip to the Isle of Wight, or rent a boat without a license in the Norfolk Broads.
Water Sports Around the World
This section could go on forever, given all the opportunities we offer at Reserving to enjoy water sports like diving or windsurfing worldwide. So here’s a highly varied selection: whale watching in Perth (Australia), submarine adventures in Kailua (Hawaii), sea walking in Palm Island (Aruba), or snorkeling and a glass-bottom boat tour in Cairns (Australia). Our last three aquatic activity suggestions take place in Florida: bass fishing in Clermont, exploring wild Florida on an airboat, or taking a kitesurfing course.
We’ve highlighted the most unique activities, but if you’re looking to snorkel, dive, or paddleboard, the options are endless. Search our website and discover amazing opportunities to enjoy your vacation at the best price—while also finding the perfect accommodation and always benefiting from great discounts.
