“I strongly recommend kayaking in Gdansk. It is a good activity. Szymon is a great guide and easy to communicate with.”

“Great experience, so happy I booked this. Good demo before and a ton of information shared. Highly recommended your and well worth it.”

“Was great! Very friendly guides, and great way to see the old city and learn interesting facts about it.”
Join Piotr or another Bike Raft Camp guide for a two-hour, small-group packrafting trip from Port Czerniakowski to Plaża Żoliborz. Learn basic paddling, float past bridges and Stadion Narodowy, hear Warsaw stories, and stop on a river island if conditions allow.
“The guide didn’t show up so we were not able to do our activity. We need a refund.”
You’ll paddle the Motława in a private group with an English or Polish-speaking guide, passing Granary Island, Olowianka, the Soldek ship, and the Crane. Choose a single or double kayak. Guides such as Eric and Nick have helped beginners feel safe and comfortable.
“Vi var 8 uerfarne der skulle prøve kajak for første gang. Instruktøren Nick var god til at forklare teknik og regler, samt en god guide på sejlturen med små pauser undervejs hvor vi hørte lidt om Gdansk seværdigheder. Alt i alt en anbefalelsesværdig oplevelse på ca 3 timer.”
Pick a city, a memorial, a mountain or a table.
