Family Water Fun Ideas to Enjoy This Summer
Take it Easy on the Not-so-High Seas
Is there anyone who doesn’t dream of relaxing under the sun as time goes by out at sea? Renting a boat for the day is a beautiful way to spend time with the kids or a romantic partner. The breeze in your hair, the smell of the sea and the passing of time together are something we can all treasure. Got a taste for it now? Check the web for new boat models available to rent or buy, and head for the not-so-high seas as you find your sea legs, you adventurous salty dog!
How About Some Extreme Sports?
While most of us would love nothing more than relaxing under the sun or stars at sea, there are those among us who see things very differently. You might spend some time at a waterfall gazing into the serenity of the rushing deluge. The family standing next to you looks at this as a challenge to beat, sizing up how they can ride the river rapids below! The power of water lends itself well to extreme sports such as paragliding, jet skiing and even extreme canoeing.
Family Water Fun Under the Sea!
Toddlers, the elderly and everyone in between love getting their heads wet to see the fish, sea creatures and reefs of some of the world’s most amazing places. And there is no time like the present as we don’t know how long some of these will be around! Around 33% of the ocean’s reef corals alone are now on the endangered list, just like sharks and rays. If you can drag your teens off their video games consoles, they will also enjoy snorkelling, even if they won’t say it!
Swimming with the Dolphins
Are dolphins smarter than humans? There’s only one way to find out. They probably aren’t. But you can get up close and personal with these very fast-swimming mammals. On the surface, this is just a cool thing to tick off the bucket list. However, swimming with dolphins is also said to have numerous health benefits. People who swim with dolphins have been said to experience a sense of happiness. Others even report reduced pain, lower anxiety and reduced stress.
A Visit to a Water Park, Of Course
When you just want to get wet and wild, there is no better option than a water park. No matter where you are, you are never too far from one, and all it takes is a reasonable family road trip. Many also offer generous family discounts during summer, like theme parks. You can be as bold as you like or just enjoy the warm and inviting surroundings that most themed water parks have. How about a burger and a beer while the kids go off and head to the water slides?
Summary
A boat rental or even purchase is one of the most enjoyable family fun water activities you can experience as a unit or with a romantic partner. Getting up close with ocean creatures is fun and educational for all the family. But water parks provide tons of fun with slides and water sports.
