Rafting

Extreme kayaking is one of the up-and-coming darlings of the extreme sports world and a number of cities across the US have built their own artificial waves and white water “play parks”to accommodate the rising numbers of recreational kayakers who are taking advantage of new, sturdier equipment to take their sport to the next level. Whereas just ten years ago 60-feet was considered to be the ultimate limit to the height of waterfalls a kayaker could conquer, today some professional kayakers have moved up to 100ft. and higher waterfalls. There are a number of kayaking tour companies which will give you a taste of kayaking, but for the ultimate kayaking rush, first get in plenty of practice, and then brave the Rio Santo Domingo in Chiapas, Mexico, which drops 480 vertical feet in an eighth of a mile, and includes two 90-foot waterfalls.
