What to expect
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Pass By: Crane, Ul. Szeroka 67/68 At Maritime Museum, Gdansk 80-835 Poland
The Crane is one of the defining symbols of Gdansk and represents what little is left of the city's great trading age. Built in the mid-15th century as part of the biggest double-towered gate on the shoreline, it also served to install and remove ships' masts, and to load and unload heavy cargo from vessels docked at the quay. Incredibly, this human-powered device could hoist loads of up to 2000kg, making it the largest crane in medieval Europe.
Pass By: SS Soldek, Ul. Olowianka 9/13, Gdansk 80-751 Poland
SS Sołdek was a Polish coal and ore freighter.
Pass By: Gdansk Shipyard, ul. Walowa 27a, Gdansk 80-858 Poland
Gdansk Remontowa Shipyard is still a busy, working yard and for those interested to see ships of all sizes in different stages of repair or construction. It is so interesting to paddle and be able to see men working on ferries.
Pass By: Ołowianka B&B, Ołowianka 3A, 80-751 Gdańsk, Poland
Amazing kayak tour through the river Motlawa around two islands of Gdansk: Granary Island and Olowianka Island. Gdansk is quite uniquely located at the crossroads of sea and river routes, waterways of the Vistula river at the Baltic estuary, as well as the Radunia and Motlawa rivers. This had a significant impact on the city’s development. The daily living as shown in literature and drawings proves that water was the important element of the city’s life. It is important today to show Gdansk through its relation to water.
Pass By: Motlawa River Embankment (Dlugie Pobrzeze), Dlugie Pobrzeze, Gdansk Poland
Kayak tour gives a different perspective on the historical value of the Main City. Paddling through the canals allows freedom to see places ferries cannot access. We will show you a completely different Gdansk to the one you’ve seen on land.

A great experience. As an old guy who has never kayaked before, my wife and I were nervous about taking this on. But Mike & Simon were very supportive and we had a fabulous 2.5hr trip past the Old Town, around Granary Island and back to the old shipyards. Mike provided plenty of information about what we were seeing as we went round.Great fun, something really different that my partner and I haven’t done before, but the instructor was great and taught us how best to enjoy our experience.

Was so exited about kayaking, was so unfortunate the guide had to reschedule but was completely flexible so managed to go back that night and hung around the city til the evening session ( had travelled from Sopot which was super easy). Male guide seemed lovely, had female guide and was fun. Tide was difficult in places with wind, but is great for beginners and more experienced people too. Pros: good kit and views, some interesting info about symbols on buildings Both single and dbl kayaks available Tips and tricks to rowing given at start Full equipment and wet bags avail, also get a cover that slides over seat so you don’t get a wear bum! Great price, good value for money Cons: only kayaked for 1hr40, stopped for too long in some place and got restless. It’s 30 min walk from city.
