I thought this was pretty funny (not useful but amusing):

Wow, I wonder how that one slipped through.
It doesn't seem to work for other countries. I've only tried a few European ones though.

Slipped through ?
Come on, this is an intentional prank, this stuff doesn't just slip through.

I tried this and it is actually legit. Put in your starting point as current location, then type in Sydney, Australia as you ending destination. Then read the directions, you think kayaking across Pacific is bad, wait till you have to kayak nearly 4,000 miles to Asia...

If you type in anything requiring traveling west over an ocean, it gives the kayaking bit.

I remember several years ago if you entered NY, NY to London, England it would tell you to swim across the Atlantic.

Yep. They seem to have removed it, though.

Something like that obviously wouldn't slip through. Kind of the joke that I was going for. Too bad I'm not funny.
56 days? I kind of like to look at that as a challenge..

I could've sworn it randomly cycled through different means of travel (swim, kayak, some other one).

You can't kayak through Mexico, Northern Africa, most parts of the Far East and Asia.
