Excellent excursion! We were picked up at the port as promised. Given safety equipment and a lesson in canoeing. Enjoyed every minute on the handmade canoe and our guide. Perfect way to learn about Klaipeda, its history and Lithuanian life. Most highly recommend.

A lovely afternoon with a knowledgeable guide in beautifully crafted canoes. Janis gave us a great afternoon would highly recommend this way of seeing the town.
Great day off of the cruise ship - getting some sun and some exercise. Our host Jonas picked us up at the cruise dock, and was a fantastic guide throughout . Would recommend!
Lovely day on the water in this beautiful city. Great way to spend the day. Give it a try - you'll be glad you did. The tour guide is also a the boat builder so you get to enjoy his art and his knowledge of the area.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear you had such a lovely day on the water and enjoyed exploring our city. It means a lot that you appreciated both the canoe and the stories about the area. Building this canoe has truly been a passion project, so it's especially rewarding to know that guests enjoy experiencing it. Thank you!
Janus was amazing guide. Make sure we were all safe and knew what we were doing his canoes which he hand makes are beautiful and easy to maneuver. Got a history lesson along with just a really enjoyable morning highly recommend. Would suggest that you have had some experience before it would make it easier for you.

Hearing that you appreciated the handcrafted canoes means a great deal—they're built with a lot of care and passion.
Thank you as well for the helpful tip for future guests. While beginners are always welcome, a little paddling experience can certainly make the trip feel even more relaxed and enjoyable.
Safe travels! :)

Thank you so much for your excellent review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the canoe, the tour, and learning about Klaipėda. We really appreciate your recommendation!
This tour guide is an actual local which we feel really helps the authenticity of the tours. He literally made the canoes himself during the winter months!

This is what I do :) Thanks for finding a time to leave a review. Appreciate it!
It was a great canoeing experience! We were picked up at our port and driven a short distance to the starting point. We were shown the proper way to canoe and overall it was a great experience! I would recommend this tour for cruisers. It was a short walk back to the boat.
