Great kayak tour! - Fantastic tour around the rivers of Gdansk! Very knowledgeable guide, interesting stories and perfect distance/time. Super introduction to technique and safety before departure and guide always made sure everybody could keep up. One person in the tour flipped their kayak and the guide was very quick to help and got them back to continue the trip. Offered flexibility of ending the trip in the city to get dry clothes. 10/10 recommend.

Water, sunshine, outdoors. What's not to love. - A great guide, clearly demonstrated the equipment, patient, very knowledgeable about the area. Entertaining and also arranged, I think, the hottest day of the year as well 😃. Get out on the water, you won't be disappointed and be prepared to accelerate pass a grumpy swan, so reserve some energy for the home stretch.

The kayak tour is highly recommended! - We were newcomers to kayaking. The guide gave a great and understandable introduction. Afterwards we were able to experience a great tour on the water and learned a lot about the history of Gdańsk. Highly recommended.

Excellent city tour from the water. - The location is a 20 min walk from the historic city center & Green gate. Once at the shipyard look for the white dome and red cargo containers - and 1 with kayak on top. Eric knows his city’s history and speaks excellent English. A fun afternoon!!!

Unmissable - Amazing, different and very well planned. We were greeted by Mike who gave us all the safety and maneuvering directions of the Kayak, once on the water, the ride and all the information he gave us, made the tour very complete, very enjoyable and also full of interesting information. It is very interesting to know a city from the water. You can tell that Mike loves what he does, many congratulations and if you go to Gdansk do not stop doing this activity.
