Beautiful and unique way to see Klaipeda. Highly recommended! - My (adult) daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the night canoe tour. As we didn't have our own vehicle, or know the town at all, we appreciated that Janis picked us up at our hotel. It's important to dress for the weather for this outing. We were fortunate that the warm fall evening provided ideal weather and conditions. The peacefulness of paddling through the calm waters while taking in the stunning city lights reflecting off the surface was incredible. It offered a completely different perspective of Klaipeda. Janis was not only knowledgeable about the area, and great at explaining the basics of canoeing, but also made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the tour. There were only two groups/canoes on this tour, so the introduction and practice paddling went quickly. We were on the water for a little over an hour, which felt like just the right amount of time. It's not a strenuous activity, so it would be suitable for almost anyone. We had plenty of time to take photos and Janis took photos of each group along the way. The canoes and paddles are beautifully hand-crafted by Janis. My daughter said it was the most comfortable canoe she's ever been in. This tour is a must-do for anyone looking to explore the city in a unique and peaceful way. Highly recommended!

Great experience even for total rookies - Janis gave us confidence to try our first canoe experience. He is a great instructor: with a few explanations and the right mindset he can make you feel at ease even when you are out of your comfort zone. We definitely recommend this tour!

A magical evening - Unique view of the Old Town from the water. We met the group around sunset, which in July was around 10PM; Janis provided beautiful cedar strip canoes, good equipment and paddling instruction. With a lighted torch standing in the bow of the canoe, we paddled off to explore the waterway. Make sure you let Janis know if you already know how to paddle a canoe, this can save you some aggravation before launch and get you on the water sooner. The paddle is not really a "guided" tour, you have a route to follow and Janis is never far away, but you can explore independently.

Highly recommended for all ages! - The preparation to start rowing and succes doing it thanks to the excellent explanations and the instructor gentle manners that lead to enjoy the trip being relaxed. Entering the Jono Kalnis covered with nenuphars under the moonlight and listening some music from some bar in the nearby was may be the best moment. I did it with my granddaughter and if we can we will do it again. Congratulations!

This canoe trip was a... - This canoe trip was a great experience. The guide, Janis, makes the canoes himself, and they are impressively well crafted. Janis made sure everyone was comfortable with the necessary skills before we got out on the water. I would recommend this activity to others in Klaipeda.

Stunning view and amazing experience - The experience was exactly what we expected if not better. For the price I definitely recommend. The view was absolutely stunning and it was a nice change in the type of activities offered in Klaipeda. You are given time to practise canoeing before setting off on the tour so it all goes smoothly. The guide was very friendly and was able to communicate perfectly with my boyfriend who only speaks English. Very fun experience and will do it again when I come back to lithuania with my parents

Nice tour, but too short - Nice tour, but too short. Our guide was really kind but the tour was only 1 hour long not 2 hours as it was in the tour description.
