different themes, and has been attended by major travel partners.

partner for Delta Airlines, and has also won several Championship titles in the
past.
There
were 4 participating teams from Kanoo Travel - Kanoo Riders, Kanoo Zombies,

Delta Challenge 2015 comprised of 20 teams from 17 travel companies that took
part in the event. The experience consisted of 2 preliminary rounds of tough
competitive rowing for the qualification. Later, 3 Kanoo Travel teams qualified
for the final championship race which was the highlight of the competition.

water rafting is an extreme endurance sport that requires team work, precision
and stamina. Whilst the adrenaline boost of this team surfing adventure was
remarkable, the bonding experience, fun, thrills and excitement was
enthralling. Each team consisted of 5 members rowing through rapids on an
