Eco-tourism has become extremely popular as the nation focuses on sustainability, green living practices and environmental issues. Common eco-tourism activities include kayaking tours, river tours and other trips.

Recreational trips were among the first activities to be affected by the Green Movement. As fuel prices skyrocketed, many traditional excursions became expensive. Meanwhile a large number of outdoor lovers began looking for eco-friendly alternatives to traditional water sports.

In response, eco-tour guides have begun offering a variety of services. Many guides have made eco-tours an important part of their business. These nature-focused tours have less environmental impact while still providing guests with outdoor adventures.

Kayaks are extremely popular for eco-tours. Eco-tour guides offer a variety of kayak trips ranging from short excursions to all day trips. Kayaks are easy to use and offer an excellent platform for seeing wildlife up close.

River tours are popular forms of eco-tourism. These come in a variety of formats, with most tour boats focusing on nature. Some types of river tours use small craft and electric or human powered propulsion which allows enthusiasts an even closer view of birds, fish, reptiles and other wildlife. Other river tours offer one-way trips where craft are carried down a river system by the current, allowing travelers to see a variety of environments.

Each of these types of recreation offer environmentally-friendly recreation and a chance to see wildlife up close in their natural environment.
