Sunset Kayak Tour
Overview
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. Paddling in the city is a must for any visitor to Gdansk.
Our kayaking tours are beginners friendly as the techniques are easy to learn. We have both double and single kayaks that can be assigned accordingly at the beginning of the tour depending on skills and experience.

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: 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.
Stop At: SS Soldek, Ul. Olowianka 9/13, Gdansk 80-751 Poland
SS Sołdek was a Polish coal and ore freighter.
Stop At: 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.
Stop At: 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.
Stop At: Motlawa River Embankment (Dlugie Pobrzeze), Dlugie Pobrzeze, Gdansk Poland

A completely different perspective of seeing the city enriched with interesting stories. The special outfit - drysuit and kayak with rudder was an adventure in itself :) Highly recommend!

I booked this for my partners Birthday (she was born in Gdańsk and now lives in the UK) We went as a 4 with my brother and sister in law and throughly enjoyed it. I hoped it would be a new way to see our old home town and it didn’t disappoint. The Kayaks were great quality and they offered both single and double. Kayaks included rudders (for the doubles) and splash skirts) Our guide gave us a great run down of how to get going on the water and how best not to capsize (so it is perfect for beginners and for those that are more experienced) The route really did you a new perspective on Gdańsk and our guide gave us plenty of stops along the way to see the views and hear some interesting facts. (Our guide was quick to point out that it’s not a history tour and he’s no historian - but he his tour was full of fun information and interesting facts) We didn’t catch a sunset as some light clouds came over, but it really didn’t lessen the experience - it was still stunning. We would definitely recommend.marianarM1671LY
