Researcher Impact: Few studies have considered the researcher’s experience of exploring adventure expeditions. Primarily methodological in focus, this paper examines the challenges and management of the adventure-researcher’s multiple roles during a sea kayaking expedition. An expedition observation framework is constructed
as a tool to aid the conceptualisation of the field. The concept of existential authenticity as a complementary theoretical framework is used to illustrate the marginality and liminal nature of the adventure scape and the researcher’s task within it.
