Kayaking at sea is not quite the aggressive water-sport that it is in the rushing rapids of a river. Although both sports are enjoyed equally by both genders, a conglomerate of 24 Canada-based tour operators has put together a sea-kayaking retreat that strictly appeals to feminine pursuits.

Playa del Carmen, Riviera Maya | The Riviera Maya Tourist Board today announces that the destination has been selected to host the first ever official PGA TOUR event to be held in Mexico, the Mayakoba Classic, from February 19-25, 2007.

The tournament will be contested on the 7,067-yard El Camaleon course at the Mayakoba Resort, the first Greg Norman designed golf course in Mexico. Managed by Fairmont Hotels and Resorts, the course is a par-72 layout spread across a fascinating mix of scenery that includes jungle, dense mangrove and oceanfront holes bisected by limestone canals. The tournament will offer a purse of US $3.5 million. The field will consist of 132 players and the winner will take home $630,000. All four days of action will be broadcast on The Golf Channel.
