Spend about three hours kayaking Vienna’s calm Alte Donau with a small group and guides such as James, Stephanie, or Luanna. Expect easy paddling, local history, swans, ducks, skyline views, the UN headquarters, and a chance to swim if the weather is warm.
“Beautiful scenery with great information on a part of Vienna that is away from the typical tourist stuff. This was truly a highlight of my trip.”
Spend 2.5 to 3 hours kayaking Vienna’s Old Danube with an English-speaking guide such as James or Nicola. Paddle past the UN, Gänsehäufel, lakeside huts, swans, and ducks, with time for a swim. Choose a shared small-group or private outing.
“What a fabulous morning we had kayaking w James. We had the best time!! James made everything work so well - helping us in and out of the kayaks, etc. And we also got to go swimming, which was divine! We highly recommend James, he was the best guide we’ve had in all our 3 months in Europe. We learned a lot about Vienna and had so much fun!!!”
Spend three hours on Styria’s Salza River, with about two hours in a stable inflatable kayak. Choose a double ducky for shared paddling or a single boat, then follow an English-speaking guide through a 7 to 9 kilometer family or adventurous section. Zita is praised for clear guidance and photos, but confirm your exact guide and river when booking.
“We had a really nice tour on the Soča with Zita. She guided us really well, took nice photos from us and was really friendly. We had a lot of fun doing the tour with her! We can definitely recommend going on the tour! 😊”
Pick a palace, a lake or a concert hall.
