Fantastic tour - would absolutely recommend! - Had a fantastic time on this tour. Great fun to kayak around the historic harbour and beautiful old town. Szymon was very friendly and helpful, and extremely knowledgeable about the history of Gdansk, with lots of interesting and funny stories. We were very lucky and had great weather, but I’m confident that if it was colder we’d have been plenty warm enough in the dry suits provided. We had plenty of time to take pictures, and the hot chocolate break in the middle was perfect! Would absolutely recommend to anyone visiting Gdansk looking for a unique view of the city!

A great adventure at any time of the year - Amazing views under the supervision of an enthusiast - you can learn a lot about kayaking itself, techniques, etc., but also about the city - in the past and today. I recommend it at any time of the year! Thanks to the overalls and "apron" it's not cold or wet :)

Fantastic guide and experience - Fantastic tour, really enjoyable! Our tour guide was fun and knowledgeable. We were nervous and inexperienced but he made it easy to learn the essentials and we felt safe and in good hands. He made it a great experience and I can't wait to kayak again!

Stunning unique experience - My daughter said that this was the best part of the holiday and we did many activities so this says it all. I couldnt do it because of weight restrictions but my fault for not reading the instructions beforehand.

A must do experience to see Gdansk from a different angle - Thank you, Szymon, for being a competent and funny guide. A must do experince, even if you are a beginner. There's a thorough safety instruction where you learn how to use the kayak properly and what to do if something goes wrong. The trip around the waters of Gdanks was very insightful thanks to the stories of the guide, we had some grewt views of the harbor and the city center. The hot chocolate was a much needed bonus in the middle of our tour. Total time is about 2-2.5 hours depending on the group size, rowing was aprox 4,3 km in total.
