Nordic Rowing: Our Unforgettable Adventure in Sweden’s Stockholm Archipelago
The Stockholm Archipelago, with its labyrinthine waterways and picturesque islets, proved to be the ideal canvas for our first ever trip in Scandinavia with our Sweden rowing adventure in June 2023. As we dipped our oars into the crystal-clear waters, we embarked on an adventure that blended the wilderness exploration with city outings, all in…
2022 in Review: Guest Favourites
Looking back on the past year and reminiscing about travel is always fun. Especially with a mug of hot chocolate or a nice glass of wine in hand. Looking back to 2022 in review, we were thrilled to run many rowing trips in Canada and Europe. Of course, there were ongoing challenges but we were…
What Our Customers Say – Testimonials 2019
We listen very carefully to what our customers say. Before, during and after a tour. In the planning stages of a rowing trip, we get some fabulous ideas from rowers. During a trip, we can often do some fine-tuning and make adjustments if needed. Even though we usually have a very good idea how things…
Formula for a Perfect Rowing Tour: Clarence River, Australia
What do you call a rowing trip that on one hand is “a hidden gem” or “a well-kept secret”, then gets 5 out of 5 ratings from guests? A contradiction? An amazing experience! How about a sure repeat. We are talking about the Australia: Clarence River tour which we ran in late March, early April…
Rowing Your World: Ladies of York
To continue with our series of getting to know rowers who row with us, we’d like to introduce the Ladies of York! On a Rowing The World trip on the Lot River, a group of women who have been rowing together for years joined us. They all learned to row as adults through York City…

All Non-Rowers Welcome!
Non-rowers are very welcome on trips with Rowing The World. Sometimes even in the boat, especially if you are as small and as cute as Jackina, our mascot in Italy. Occasionally non-rowing people are in the rowing shells too, perhaps as a cox, or maybe as a passenger. On our Belize Oar Board trip, Julia,…
Always Nerve-Racking
UPDATE: for 2020, our Classic River Thames will be women only tour. Join us in August! It is often nerve-racking to start something new. Our Magical Lago Maggiore trip is not exactly new, having run successfully last year. But our June 2018 trip was new in two ways. It was our first ever women’s only…
More than Poppy Love
We talk about falling in love with rowing, but it’s possible too that you may fall in love while rowing! At least, that’s what happened to Jeff Ellison and Rachel Galbraith, two rowers I inadvertently led to each other even though they lived in different countries. Besides wanting to stay active, Jeff Ellison got into…
Lyons Roars: Novice Oars at 77
Ken Lyons, now 77, has been interested in rowing since watching the Inspector Morse TV series in Australia. The series often included an elegant shot of a single sculler that proved intriguing enough for Ken to think he should give it a go at some point. He kept the idea of rowing in his back…
