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
Thanks so much for sharing your experience, Lee! We're thrilled you enjoyed exploring Gdansk by kayak, even in winter. Great tip about the gloves and hat—it really makes a difference on chilly days. We hope to see you on another kayak adventure soon! Around Gdansk Team
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.
Thanks, Kayleigh! We're thrilled to hear kayaking with us was your favorite Gdansk experience—twice! Exploring Gdansk by kayak in December is truly unique, and we're glad you and your boyfriend enjoyed it so much. Hope to see you on another Gdansk kayak adventure in the future! Around Gdansk Team
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!
Thank you, Gillian! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed exploring Gdansk by kayak and soaking in the city's charm from the water. It's great that our kayak adventures added a different and relaxing twist to your trip. Hope to see you on the water again someday! Around Gdansk Team
Fantastic group activity. Symon was a great guide, felt in safe experienced hands. Kit was quality and the Hot Chocolate outstanding. Would definitely recommend this trip. Thanks Symon for a great time.
Thanks, Nicola! Thrilled to hear you had such a great adventure with us and yes, that hot chocolate is something special! Hope to see you again soon!
