What an amazing tour! The views are spectacular. One of us had never Kayaked before. The guide was perfect! Taught us the basics for a bit then took us to so many beautiful places. You don't need to be an athlete to enjoy yourself! I would suggest this option for seeing the city to everyone!! The pictures are amazing.

Kayaking the Vltava!

Sally_J, Jul 2025

What a unique and amazing way to view Prague! Our guide was fantastic and gave a great tour filled with local facts and flavor! Highly recommend the early morning hours as it was tour boat free!

A unique view of Prague

Daniel_K, Jun 2025

This was the most unique way to see Prague. Meeting on the launch ramp was simple. The kayaks are the perfect type to feel safe and are efficient to paddle. We were in safe hands when crossing the river. We learned loads about Prague. It was a hot day and the breeze on the water was so refreshing. We would recommend this tour company wholeheartedly .

Kayaking Prague

Our guide shared history and beautiful views. I highly recommend seeing the city from a different angle like we did!

Excellent tour, wonderful guide!

This was my second visit to Prague so I decided to take in the city from a different vantage point this time — and it did not disappoint! Vaclav, my kayaking tour guide, was simply outstanding. He was clear and prompt in our communications in the days leading up to the tour, punctual and ready with our kayaks and gear at the meeting spot, and knowledgable and friendly on the tour itself. Not only did Vaclav provide information about the sights but he prioritized safety at all times, ensuring I didn’t stray into the center of the river too much. We also chatted a bit about the history and economy of Czechia as well as his visit to my part of the world, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The trip itself was about 5 km in total, first downstream to the locks near Štavnice island, then back upstream to Charles bridge. We went under the 666-year old Charles bridge as well as remnants of an even older bridge. Then we crossed to the other bank and went up a canal known as Little Venice. This part of the trip was a bit more challenging, which I relished. At the end of the canal we saw the last (non-functional) water mill in Prague, before returning back to our starting spot. He was kind enough to take several photos of me on the water and sent them to me promptly after the tour finished. Being the off-season and 40 F / 5 C weather, I was the only customer, which was nice. I’m positive, though, that the experience would’ve been just as enjoyable with a few more people. Vaclav mentioned that they typically don’t take more than 4-6 people per guide, depending on the customers’ prior experience with kayaking. I highly recommend this tour, whether you’re a first-time or repeat visitor to Prague!

Unique and safe way to see Prague without crowds

Dana_L, Sep 2023

We had a wonderful experience on the kayak trip through Prague. The guide was very knowledgeable about kayaking and the city history. Some of the best photos from our Prague trip were taken by our guide as we kayaked under the Charles Bridge. We stayed dry and the kayaks felt safe. This is a great way to see the city from a different perspective.

Great way to see the city

A great way to see the city, very relaxed and we found a lunch spot we wouldn’t have otherwise seen. Great for mixed ability - my experienced partner loved it, and Frank was a great teacher as it was first time!
