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.

We went on a company tour for two hours through the beautiful canals of Gdansk. We were two people in each kayak and we were given life vests and overall felt very safe. We got proper instructions before going into the water. The guide was knowledgeable and good at keeping the group together, while still allowing different kayaks to at different paces. This was definitely the highlight of our trip.We went on a group tour of 16 people and the tour guides were amazing. Very knowledgeable about Gdansk's history and showed us many historical infrastructures. We were shown how to kayak and steer in a very clean manner, as about half of us have no experience kayaking.

We went on a group tour of 16 people and the tour guides were amazing. Very knowledgeable about Gdansk's history and showed us many historical infrastructures. We were shown how to kayak and steer in a very clean manner, as about half of us have no experience kayaking. The pacing of the tour was also good as well, with breaks between each location. Highly recommend this. Might be a good idea to bring sunscreen if you get sunburned easily.We have just returned from a trip to Gdansk and before our trip researched activity ideas and the Kayak tour came up, I'm very glad we decided to book.

We have just returned from a trip to Gdansk and before our trip researched activity ideas and the Kayak tour came up, I'm very glad we decided to book. The tour was brilliant, we travelled in double kayaks which once you got the hang of steering made it comfortable and a great idea for couples! Simon our tour guide was super friendly and knew his facts about the town, he made you feel at ease and was skilled on the water and provided all equipment, even a water bottle for each person! Added bonus, Simon took photographs for the group and emailed them across so you don't have to worry about risking your phone or camera getting wet in the boat! Would highly recommend.Świetny sposób na zwiedzenie Gdańska z niecodziennej perspektywy! Tour obejmował część portu i Motławę wraz z opłynięciem wyspy spichrzy.

Świetny sposób na zwiedzenie Gdańska z niecodziennej perspektywy! Tour obejmował część portu i Motławę wraz z opłynięciem wyspy spichrzy. Przewodnik był bardzo miły i wiedział bardzo wiele o mieście, jego historii i legendach. Tour prowadzony był po angielsku, z bardzo dobrą znajomością języka. Nikt nie wpadł do wody! Kajaki, wiosła i kamizelki nowe, sprawne i dobrej jakości. Trasa kajakiem nie za długa i nie za męcząca. 10/10It was a very nice way to explore a new city and hear about the cool architecture and how the city has changed and evolved through history.
