Jet Skiing
A national park vacation offers more than great scenery. Many of our national parks have a large supply of protected waters. Although most national parks don’t permit motorized vehicles inside the part water sporting options are available outside several national parks. Places like Island Park, ID outside of Yellowstone National Park and Squaw Valley outside of Sequoia National Park offer great jet skiing options.
In addition places like
Lake Powell and
Lake Havasu have become famous for their many water recreation activities, among which jet skiing is one of the most popular. Talk to your reservations agent to find out jet skiing options nearest your national park hotel.
Snorkeling
An alternative method of enjoying unusual plants and animals is as comfortable as a warm bath and as effortless as floating. Snorkeling is one of the easiest most rewarding physical activities. All it takes is a mask, fins and snorkel and you are on your way to the fascinating world normally reserved for water creatures.
Scuba Diving
Scuba diving is one of the most exhilarating activities in the world! When you submerge yourself and take your first breath under water everything you have come to know as common sense is replaced by a knowledge that you share with only a small percentage of the world. Scuba diving opens up a whole new world; a world of wonder, of light, of excitement.
Boating
Many national parks include rivers, lakes, cove, dam, harbor, lagoon or even the vast open oceans. This affords wonderful opportunities for a unique way to tour the park and find relaxation. You will either be able to rent a boat or participate in an informative and beautiful boat tour.
