Thanks to Justas and the crew at Pipiro Baidares for making this possible for me. I wanted to go on a three day camping trip and Justas was like "Yeah sure - wow how interesting." He dropped me off somewhere up the Vilnele and said "if you have any problems, just call me" - I knew that he meant it. This guy is like a problem-solver, with a can-do attitude and flexible mindset. I really felt that he cared that my trip went well!
So I came down the river Vilnele, and it was intense (for a novice like me). The strong current pushed me under a fallen tree, and my kayak filled with water in seconds. I was fully-clothed up to my waist, dragging it out. This happened twice!! The drama!! Hardcore!!
Sopping wet I persevered against the current up the river Neris. Wow, it was harder than I had imagined, but the chance of me falling in had gone down to 0%. Ngghhh Ugghhh every inch of the way, I got 20 km up the river in two afternoons and camped out; Fire, food, music, beer, then sweet, sweet rest. This is a nice way to spend a couple of days, getting stronger, enduring some challenges and being outdoors with nature. Thanks Pipiro Baidares!
Today I came back downriver, but what's this? A stupidly strong headwind? I had to paddle hard all the way back in choppy waters. It was like being on the sea, breakers smashing the bow! Yeah that felt great! Life is better with a bit of action! Justas sees me coming and runs alongside for the last 500m saying "Come on! Push it!"
Awesome trip, my shoulders and hands ache and I have blisters on my thumbs! It was so rewarding - makes that hot shower feel all the better when it is well earned! Would recommend Pipiro Baidares because they are flexible with plans and go the extra mile. Justas even dropped me off at my apartment! Great stuff!

Starting from the first call, the process of booking was super easy - Justas was very flexible and could offer us different times and options. Price was competitive as well. Then he picked us up at agreed meeting point. There were others, but Justas immediately bond us all together, so we felt quite comfortable right away. Then we drove for 15 minutes to the start point. Great introduction and safety tips and we are off to go! Equipment was up to date - service done regularly. We just sat back, enjoyed our time in a relaxed manner and at the end, he met us and helped to disembark at the beach. No hassle at all!
Highly recommended, will definitely do it once again!
Thanks, Justas!

I highly recommend this trip. The guy is so friendly, He collected us in the bottom car park of Forum Palace facing the river and in 20 minutes aprox we arrived at our drop off point. Then he gave us the kayak and we started the adventure, the views of the nature and Vilnius from this perspective are so good.
The river is very quiet, so you dont need to be a professional kayaker. It took us 1,5h to reach our destination. The average is 2 hours. well worth it

We spent a super great time yesterday canoeing down the Vilnele. It was a 4 hours trip and totally worth all the muscle ache! :)
It's super beautiful nature which you wouldn't experience like that without sitting in a canoe. Definitely will do it again! :)

It was wonderful to kayak down the Neris to the city - absolutely one of the highlights of my partner & me visiting Vilnius.
We waited for 45 mins for our guy to pick up the kayak afterwards tho - I guess he underestimated these guns, we were at the meeting point after half the time he suggested (and we didn't stress about time, like). That was annoying.

What a great way to see some nature this is for most fitness levels. You have to carry your kayak about 100m on one section as there is a water fall but with 2 people its not to much trouble. The veiw coming back into the city was also great. It took us about 2hrs to complete but we paddled most of the way if you dont want to paddle the river will take you there.

2 Friends and I chose to canoe from the park to the city. It was a great way to see more of the country and city.
We started upstream in a tandem and single Kayak, working down from shallow streams to the main river. The team gave us easy and clear instructions in English, we provided our own beer and off we went.
I highly recommend this to any age, mix of group and will repeat this should the chance arise.

It was an amazing day trip :) You can experience Vilnius from a whole different view :) Kayaking through the two Vilnius rivers, swimming and scuba diving in half meter water(what i thought was impossible, but apparently impossible is nothing with kayak skills of my partner and me) made a perfect day for us. I recommend this to everyone. PS: the guys who were responsible for the trip were really nice - they picked us up, and in the evening again, they drove us back, made jokes with us during the trip back so we don't think about how cold it is etc. All in all, perfect day - thank you :)
