So you are an active person on a vacation with your loved one, but while you want to go out and climb mountains in your underwear, they prefer to lounge by the pool with a magazine and a cocktail. You could go without them, but then you run the risk of being whisked away by a burly chested mountain man (or woman), and you would prefer to experience these things with your lover, because that makes it so much better.
Try kayaking. Kayaking is by far the easiest outdoor travelling sport, and its something that I think almost anyone can enjoy. For one, you can get a two-seater kayak (although I prefer a one-seater) and throw your lazy boyfriend or girlfriend in the back while you do the work. For another, it’s pretty easy (especially in fresh water) so you can get drunk together. It’s also a water sport, so you can stop at any time and take a nice dip.
You can kayak almost anywhere, whether you are in upstate New York, the Harbour Village Club in the Dutch Antilles, or Capo Vaticano, Italy (pictured above).
After that awesome sales pitch, if your lover still doesn’t want to do it, then force them anyway, then tip them over in a lagoon full of nurse sharks (They won’t bite, but they might teach your guy/girl a thing or two about the pleasure of adrenaline).
