What To Expect
This small-group tour takes you along Danube shore, close to the city center. You will see a different side to Bratislava and discover some hidden gems as you paddle. Small-group tour (maximum 6), ensures a tailor made experience.
After quick instructions about paddling and safety we will start paddling on river Danube. First we will go upstream to get really close to the city center and have a look at the castle. Then we decide what to do next depending on your preference. One of the best ideas is to go to Lido Laguna which is a protected area only reachable by kayak.
A skilled instructor is with you all the time to provide support, advice and all the information you need. We will accommodate the speed according to your skills and expectations.
Please note: Paddling can be as extreme or gentle as you like but it requeres physical activity. You will be in a single kayak and need to paddle also upstream.
