- KEVINO30080 contributionsWater, sunshine, outdoors. What's not to love.A great guide, clearly demonstrated the equipment, patient, very knowledgeable about the area. Entertaining and also arranged, I think, the hottest day of the year as well 😃. Get out on the water, you won't be disappointed and be prepared to accelerate pass a grumpy swan, so reserve some energy for the home stretch.Written August 30, 2024
- CaptainScoot0 contributionsRemarkable journey through the canals of GdanskSzymon was an excellent guide with great knowledge of the local area. He matched the pace of our group, stopped at interesting locations whilst keeping it light and fun. Would highly recommend.Written July 20, 2024
- laurakU6854GG0 contributions5/5 experience5/5 experience, for first time kayakers as well. Super nice instructors, great way to learn about the city from a new perspective. We did this on the first day of our stay, got great tips on what attractions to check out during later out stay.Written July 7, 2024
- josepha410 contributionsFantastic 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!Written March 27, 2024
- ErikGamst0 contributionsKayak GdanskGreat tour with a great guide! Szymon did not get approval from the authorities to go on saturday, and would refund our money, but he offered to take us on a private tour the next day instead, which was great!Written December 7, 2023
- cristti0210 contributionsA must do experience to see Gdansk from a different angleThank 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.Written November 5, 2023

But Mike & Simon were very supportive and we had a fabulous 2.5hr trip past the Old Town, around Granary Island and back to the old shipyards. Mike provided plenty of information about what we were seeing as we went round.Written June 12, 2023

We‘ve had the tour as a very small group - just Szymon our guide from Around Gdańsk and the three of us - and it was great.
All of us had been in a kayak before, nevertheless Szymon gave a thorough introduction and pointed out things to consider after fully equipping us. Once that was done, we got going on the water.
Starting in the harbor, we went to the old town with stops at the crane, grainery island, and at the southern end of the town where an old gate in the water is marking the end of the old town, and many more along the way.
Szymon claims to be no guide, but he had plenty to say along the way and was able to answer (most of) our questions, all while also taking photos for sharing later. He also protected us from an aggressively looking swan on the way back :)
All in all, it was a wonderful experience and a great way to get a different perspective on Gdańsk. It’s been amazing 2 hours!

Such a fun trip! Lasted 2 hours, we had a great instructor who took care of us. He showed us the basics before we got in the water and swam towards gdansk centre. I recommend it there’s nothing I would change, except the location of the trip is a little bit outside the old town. I recommend taking Uber there.

Me and my 2 friends really enjoyed the sunset kayak tour. Szymon was a great guide and gave us good information about gdansk. One of my friends was a bit nervous about the experience before but she was made to feel comfortable and really enjoyed the evening!

Hallo,
wie lange geht die Tour?
Steigt man bei den Sehenswürdigkeiten aus?
Gibt es bei den Stopps die Möglichkeit auf Klo zu gehen (wichtig für Schwangere 😉).
Vielen Dank
