Gdansk Sunset Kayaking Tour
If you’re looking for a way to see the sights of Gdansk from a new vantage point and avoid the crowds at the same time—then this sunset kayaking tour is an excellent pick. Follow your guide on a paddling adventure through the river Motlawa and learn about the city’s maritime history as you pass interesting landmarks such as the Gdansk Shipyard, SS Soldek, and The Crane.
Highlights
- ✓Go on a beginner’s friendly kayaking tour at sunset
- ✓Access views of Gdansk that you can’t see when you’re on land
- ✓A special opportunity to visit waterways that ferries can’t access
- ✓See sights linked to the Solidarity movement and shipbuilding in Gdansk
What you'll see & do
- ✓The Crane is one of the defining symbols of Gdansk and represents what little is left of the city's great trading age. Built in the mid-15th century as part of the biggest double-towered gate on the shoreline, it also served to install and remove ships' masts, and to load and unload heavy cargo from vessels docked at the quay. Incredibly, this human-powered device could hoist loads of up to 2000kg, making it the largest crane in medieval Europe.
- ✓SS Sołdek was a Polish coal and ore freighter.
- ✓Gdansk Remontowa Shipyard is still a busy, working yard and for those interested to see ships of all sizes in different stages of repair or construction. It is so interesting to paddle and be able to see men working on ferries.
- ✓Amazing kayak tour through the river Motlawa around two islands of Gdansk: Granary Island and Olowianka Island. Gdansk is quite uniquely located at the crossroads of sea and river routes, waterways of the Vistula river at the Baltic estuary, as well as the Radunia and Motlawa rivers. This had a significant impact on the city’s development. The daily living as shown in literature and drawings proves that water was the important element of the city’s life. It is important today to show Gdansk through its relation to water.
- ✓Kayak tour gives a different perspective on the historical value of the Main City. Paddling through the canals allows freedom to see places ferries cannot access. We will show you a completely different Gdansk to the one you’ve seen on land.
