| Abstract: | The complex experience of kayakers on an adventure tour is explored through the attributes and qualities of Stebbins' concept of serious leisure. The paper is based on observations of participation, conversations and in-depth interviews with nine tourists on a 14-day white-water kayaking package tour of New Zealand, in 2002. The conclusion of this paper is that the package adventure tour experience can be a significant marker in serious leisure careers. |
