river and sea adventure Explanation: River/sea adventure gear, or kayak/canoe/raft equipment. Treking and hiking do not seem to be used in conjunction with rafts or canoes, but "adventure" or even just "trip", come up on many websites. |

nfg - sea safari Explanation: Not for grading as I'm just confirming James Murphy's answer. The mention of diving gear makes me think this is not the rafting type of activity. Rather than an extreme adrenaline sport, it's what we have near my home - an underwater safari along a rocky shore for anyone who feels up to it (beginners welcome). Here's a description: Safari marin, ballade palmée, randonnée aquatique, snorkling… Peu importe le terme… La rando palmée a de plus en plus de succès. L’activité PMT n’est certes pas une nouveauté, mais quant elle est organisée en excursion et encadrée par une guide de la faune et de la flore marine, elle s’inscrit directement dans la vague actuelle de l’écologie et du retour à la nature. http://www.plongeeonline.com/repbilansaison2006.php Whether sea safari is the best term to use I leave to others to vote on -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 39 mins (2007-04-23 14:48:20 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I didn't actually intend to give it such a high confidence rating but then it's not for grading anyway -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 45 mins (2007-04-23 14:54:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Some other possible terms: guided snorkelling hike/tour/trek ; underwater hike/tour/trek ; subaqua safari |

Line Diving / Snuba / Helmet Diving Explanation: OK, so this might be more 'up-and-coming' than 'common' in terms of watersports but I remembered watching a feature on the TV's The Gadget Show (link below) and wondered if this is what your text is referring to. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 45 mins (2007-04-23 14:54:32 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- If it more like running around jumping off cliffs and what-not, the term could be coasteering, which is a term I've seen used by activity centres to describe an organised mixture of orienteering and suicidal tendencies. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 48 mins (2007-04-23 14:57:18 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I notice that Sea Trek is a company name....

underwater nature trail Explanation: At the Port-Cros National Parc in the South of France there is a beautiful underwater nature trail that you can visit using a snorkeling gear. This is the first thing that came to mind when I saw your question. Sentier sous-marin de la Palud : Randonnée palmée de 30 à 40 mn qui permet de découvrir la flore et la faune sous-marines méditerranéennes dans une zone protégée. Des visites guidées sont proposées du 15 juin au 15 septembre du mardi au samedi, sauf en cas de mauvaises conditions météorologiques . Prévoir son matériel : palmes, masque, tuba (non fournis). L’activité est gratuite. Reference: http://www.portcrosparcnational.fr/visite/portcros/animation... |

boat trip Explanation: sorry to add yet another banal sounding suggestion, but might it not just be as simple as a "boat trip". In any case, "trip" is a nice generic kind of word to use if your not altogether sure what will be entailed |
