Cedar kanottur i Klaipeda - perfekt för kryssningsfartygsresenärer.
Beskrivning
Utforska Klaipeda från ett annat perspektiv. Ta en titt på stadens industriella del, upptäck de gamla Memel-befästningarna och komma nära och personligt med segelfartyget Meridianas. Denna stadstur är lämplig för resenärer med trångt schema. Det är också en bra introduktion till paddling och en möjlighet att uppleva en riktig cederträdskanot i aktion.

Resplan
Under ledning av ingenjören Charles Rose skulle staden omringas i form av befästningar av Holland-typen, österut från den tidigare Johanneskyrkan. Formar och bastioner som var cirka 3,5 meter höga bildades och yttre diken (moats) grävdes. På grund av sin storlek kategoriseras citiens befästningar som bland de stora kungliga slotten. Verken avslutades först i slutet av 1600-talet-början av 1700-talet. Senare rekonstruerades formarna i mitten av 1700-talet. Klaipedas befästningssystem på den tiden var komplicerat. Eftersom staden var omgiven av bastionförstärkningar i öst och söder och säkrad av floden Naujoji Danė i norr, var den enda åtkomsten via tre grindar uppkallad efter deras huvudobjekt: Tiltas (bron), Kūlių (of Stones) och Malūnų ( av kvarnarna). De två senare byggdes på jordiska vallar. Under krigerna på 1700-talet försummades underhållet av fästningen, portarna började demonteras för sina tegelstenar, vallarna rivits upp, dikarna fylldes med jord; under 1900-talet återstod bara små fragment av det tidigare komplexa befästningssystemet. Idag kan det tidigare befästningssystemet bäst observeras i slutet av Turgaus Street, från de bastioner som i de historiska referenserna kallas Geldern och Purmark. Framför bastionerna kan man se vattnet i den defensiva dike / vallgraven och den enda överlevande ravelin. Restarna av dessa defensiva befästningar återställdes 1994-1997 (författare till projektet V. Šliogeris).
Utbildningsfartyget Meridian byggdes 1948 i Finland i ett Turku (Finland) varv som ett bidrag till Sovjetunionen efter andra världskriget, tillsammans med 48 andra liknande fartyg. Mycket få andra återstår. Fartyget som åkte till Estland var kanske det lyckligaste, eftersom det för närvarande visas i Talin. Meridian, som gick till Klaipedas navigationsskola, var det första fartyget för många framtida kaptener och rorsmän efter kriget. Meridian som utbildningsfartyg stängde sina dörrar 1967 och öppnade sig som en restaurang på floden Dane. Hösten 2012 bytte fartyget hand, och de nya ägarna (Aidas Kaveckas och Aloyzas Kuzmarskis) fick det att reparera, återställa och återvända den 9 november 2013. Det nyrenoverade fartyget erbjuder en marinutställning, där du kan lära dig meridian om historien, dess resor till sjöss, skeppets struktur och olika maritima prylar.

Lovely day on the water in this beautiful city. Great way to spend the day. Give it a try - you'll be glad you did. The tour guide is also a the boat builder so you get to enjoy his art and his knowledge of the area.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear you had such a lovely day on the water and enjoyed exploring our city. It means a lot that you appreciated both the canoe and the stories about the area. Building this canoe has truly been a passion project, so it's especially rewarding to know that guests enjoy experiencing it. Thank you!
Janus was amazing guide. Make sure we were all safe and knew what we were doing his canoes which he hand makes are beautiful and easy to maneuver. Got a history lesson along with just a really enjoyable morning highly recommend. Would suggest that you have had some experience before it would make it easier for you.
Thank you so much for your kind words and recommendation! It was a pleasure having you on the tour. I'm glad you enjoyed both the paddling experience and the stories about the area's history. Hearing that you appreciated the handcrafted canoes means a great deal—they're built with a lot of care and passion. Thank you as well for the helpful tip for future guests. While beginners are always welcome, a little paddling experience can certainly make the trip feel even more relaxed and enjoyable. Safe travels! :)
What a fantasy tour, our guider was super nice , helpful & supportive. Even though we were the slowest from whole group, but everyone was quite chill & understandable… plus beautiful view alone the shore… a must try from my personal vote, lol
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour and felt supported throughout the trip. There's no rush on our tours—it's all about enjoying the experience and the beautiful scenery. Thanks for the recommendation, and we hope to see you again!
We sailed along the Wilhelm Canal to Dreverna. We had the opportunity to admire the beautiful autumn nature. The route is calm and picturesque, especially when approaching Dreverna. The handmade canoes caught the eye of many people. The guide was helpful, pleasant, an enthusiast in his field. Amazing that he himself made the canoes we paddled.
Janis is a great dude. He took us along the canal in Klapeida, it’s a very easy ride. There is not much to see in the town, but Janis manages to make it exiting and lively. I would definetly engage him again for a tour in the region or ask for his advice, he has been around and is happy to share. Btw, i booked for a specific day but the weather wasn’t looking great so Janis reached out proactively by text and was flexible to plan another day. I found it very professional.
It was a great experience to paddle through Klaipeda. Also the weather was perfect and our guide was very nice. We've learned a lot about Klaipeda.
Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re glad you enjoyed paddling through Klaipėda, the great weather, and our friendly guide. Hope to see you again!
Excellent excursion! We were picked up at the port as promised. Given safety equipment and a lesson in canoeing. Enjoyed every minute on the handmade canoe and our guide. Perfect way to learn about Klaipeda, its history and Lithuanian life. Most highly recommend.
Thank you so much for your excellent review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the canoe, the tour, and learning about Klaipėda. We really appreciate your recommendation!
This was horrible. Quick to take out money and they never showed up. We waited over 30 minutes. There was no form of contact to let us know they were cancelling and no one would answer or respond to any messages. Such a huge waste of our time
Dear Kendra, We’re truly sorry for your experience — this is far from the standard we set for ourselves, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and frustration this caused you. Please rest assured this was not a scam — your payment was immediately refunded in full, and we did not receive any benefit from this situation. We did try to reach you several times to update you, but unfortunately, the contact number we had was incorrect, and we could not get through. We understand how upsetting this must have been, especially without any clear communication. We are a genuine business that takes pride in delivering great service, and it’s deeply disappointing to hear we fell short for you.
This was such a fun way to explore this city. The guide also is the one who built all the boats. He grew up here and really knows his history of the area. Highly recommend.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re glad you enjoyed exploring the city and hearing its history from our guide and boat builder. We really appreciate your recommendation!
This tour guide is an actual local which we feel really helps the authenticity of the tours. He literally made the canoes himself during the winter months!
This is what I do :) Thanks for finding a time to leave a review. Appreciate it!
