7. Outrigger canoeing

Outrigger canoeing is perhaps an unlikely activity, but a thrilling one nonetheless! An outrigger canoe is a very narrow vessel, featuring a lateral support beam called an outrigger. The outrigger provides balance and stability and prevents the canoe from tipping. Canoeing offers a great workout but far better than that, it puts you right in middle of ocean action. You may see everything from dolphins and turtles to manta rays.
