First time kayaking for us and following this it will definitely not be the last. From the moment we arrived the guide was very warm and welcoming as well as the other travellers. The guide talked us through the equipment and was on hand for any issues. We absolutely loved the tour as first timers - great experience and knowledge about Gdansk. Thank you for a lovely time and don’t hesitate if first timers, you will love it!!

Fun kayak tour of Gdansk

Karen_B, Jul 2025

Fantastic tour of old Gdansk and the shipyards from the water, and a cracking sunset to top it all off. Simon was an excellent guide both for his kayak instruction and his historical facts.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Amazing!!!

Shana_G, Jul 2024

This sunset kayak tour, which I did with my husband and son, was a top-10 life experience. It was amazing! The guides took great care to prepare us, and we traveled with others as a small group. It was safe, beautiful, and had a bit of adventure.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thank you, Shana! We're thrilled to hear it was such a memorable experience for you and your family. We'll pass your kind words on to the guides—they’ll love hearing this! Hope to see you again for another adventure!

Great tour!

Great tour, safety is very important which is great, great equipment and informative. Had great fun and learnt quiet a lot in the short amount of time. We struggled to find the location due to apple maps sending us on a wild goose chase, be mindful!

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thanks for the kind words, Tamara! We're thrilled you had fun and felt safe. Thanks for pointing out the map issue—great tip for future visitors! Hope to see you on another tour sometime!

One of the best experiences

Eesha_K, Aug 2020

Such an amazing experience! The instructor was really nice and made us feel at ease. We were a group of 6 adults. Before we began, he gave us a detailed yet brief introduction abou that techniques and know-how into kayaking. He provided us with water bottles, life- vests and there were also water-proof bags for those who needed them. I could also keep my bag on a shelf in the container which was then locked securely. The city looked beautiful from the water. It was extremely safe, we followed the instructions carefully and had a great time. He also gave shared interesting information on the way when we stopped as a group. Additional bonus: he took photos which will then be emailed to us all. All in all, highly recommended!

Response from Host, Jul 2025
