Winter Kayaking - Great experience seeing the city from the river. We were relatively inexperienced at kayaking but Nick, our instructor, was great. The equipment provided is excellent but I would recommend taking gloves and a hat during winter. Single kayaks are available for solo travellers also, so no need to share. I would thoroughly recommend for anyone visiting Gdansk

My favourite Gdansk experience - We had a fantastic time with Nick kayaking - this is the second time I’ve kayaked in December with this company, it was so good I urged my boyfriend to do it with me this year again. Nick was great - easy instructions, good knowledge of Gdansk history and he was a great laugh. Definitely recommend if you are visiting Gdansk, it’s my favourite activity I’ve done both visits.

Great experience not to be missed!! - Highlight of our short break in Gdansk. Nick our guide was brilliant, as some one who hasn’t kayaked before he put us at ease and went through everything we needed to know without it being too long and boring. Once we were out on the water we got to see this beautiful city from a different view point - peppered with stops and insights from nick about the history of the city. In a city that is super busy just now we got experience it without any stress - just avoiding the odd pirate boat as they pass! This trip is a must for anyone that wants to try something a little different!

An absolute must ! - An absolute must if you are visiting Gdansk! No previous kayaking experience needed-had so much fun seeing the sights and being guided by the very knowledgable Szyon. Very thorough safety briefing and we were provided with dry suit, boots, buoyancy aid. We were all warm even in the middle of December-(recommend a jumper and a hat though). Lovely hot chocolate stop half way round. Incredibly good value for money. Thank you Szyon

Excellent activity, great instructor and fantastic value for money - Excellent experience today with instructor Szymon. All required equipment (kayak,dry suit, wellington boots and hand protection) is provided and in great condition - surprisingly did not feel at all cold! Full safety debrief carried out before setting off and felt extremely safe with an obviously capable instructor. 100% would recommend and thought it was great value, would happily have paid more.

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 :)
