Kayaking
With thousands of kilometres of coastline and waterways to explore, kayaking really is one of the best ways to do it. There are loads of great kayak operators who run guided tours or simply hire the kayaks for you to create your own adventure. While a little fitness would not go a miss, kayaking is really easy to pick up so perfect for beginners.
