Italy offers a great kayaking destination in the form of the Noce River. While Italian culture is of course known for other things, like great cheeses, fabulous home-cooked meals, and some of the oldest buildings in the world, this river is another thing Italy is recognized for. Located in the autonomous province of Trentino, the area around the river is of particular importance for its flora and fauna. A richness of the rapids here leaves kayakers wanting to experience other sports in the area, including the excellent canoeing, rafting, and even tarzaning, which is what the locals call zip-lining. Many tourist organizations in the area offer daily lessons in kayaking with options for other sports as well. The Noce river itself is located in a valley, offering gorgeous views of the plants native to the area. The best part is the rapids aren't challenging, offering a great starting point for beginners looking to get more involved in kayaking, and the courses offered usually start on a lake to get customers comfortable before even touching the rapids.

Noce, Italy brings a great experience to kayakers of all levels, with a flourishing industry and exciting environment to view, this destination is a phenomenal site to keep in mind when booking a trip. Next up on the list is a brilliant country that will bring us out of Europe.
