Field of activity: sea kayaking or whale?
I'm going to New Brunswick for camp this summer. and have given me a choice between two activities sea kayaking or whale watching never done any of the problems .. never have the chance to do any of them again .. Which should I choose .. I love nature / Wildlife and would love to see the whales in their natural habitat …. but I love sports and water, but they do not live in a city cousin urban (A) .. I'm torn, but you have to choose one … sooo sea kayaking or whale watching? above points to respond with a bit of explanation Dad!
Sea kayaking is exhausting. But can still be very nice, just energy. As for whale watching, I did a long time ago, and if you are lucky enough to see a whale incredible, you may need a little patience, however.
