Boquete Outdoor Adventures

Learn the Basics in our Whitewater Kayak Sampler

If you'd like an introduction to the awesome sport of whitewater kayaking taught by some of the leading kayak instructors in the industry, you'll find no destination more extraordinary than Panama! The Chiriqui Province is home to more than 35 stellar, world-class whitewater runs.

This one-day introduction is intended to give you every opportunity to find your hidden love for whitewater kayaking. The instruction will emphasize the basics: paddling gear, boat safety, basic paddling technique and river awareness. The first half of the day is spent on flat water where you'll get comfortable in your boat and practice your technique. The second half of the day is spent on a favorite class II section of river where each of the skills that you acquired earlier in the morning will come into play!
