![]() ![]() ![]() The whitewater venue for the summer Olympics 2020/21 looks set to be a smasher. But there are some chill sections too, where paddlers can relax and admire the dazzling blue water, including on the calmer tributary, the Rio Azul.Ĩ- Kasai Rinkai Park, Japan, Tokyo (20 in the global 100 list) Huge white waves, Class V rapids with intimidating names such as Terminator, a section called the “Wild Mile”, chunky boulders and a forested Alpine setting are the ingredients for an adrenaline-fuelled adventure for experienced paddlers. 9- Futaleufú river and Rio Azul, Patagonia, Chile (11 in the global 100 list)Ĭalled “Big River” in the local Mapuche dialect, the Futaleufú, in the north of Patagonia, is as wild and dramatic a river as you’ll find anywhere. Camping out here afterwards means seeing the Milky Way with spectacular clarity. This area of the North Island is a centre of rafting and kayaking, with awesome paddles to the natural Manupirua geothermal hot mineral pools on the other side of the lake, or to ride the rapids of nearby Kaituna River. 10- Okere Falls, North Island, New Zealand (12 in the global 100 list)Įmerald depths turn to rushing white water at the Okere Falls, a fun drop for progressing paddlers to tackle that’s tucked into the northern corner of Lake Rotoiti in the Bay of Plenty.
