    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.

    The perfect way to spend a hot, sunny morning after a couple of days in the city centre. James was a brilliant guide, great fun and incredibly informative and passionate about Vienna and the natural surroundings. Our teens 17 and 15 had a great time out on the water. Not too much paddling, about 5k in total, but it was flat as a pancake, with more breeze it would be more challenging. A swim stop was included but we chose to visit a nice lakeside cafe instead. Great communication throughout, thanks James for a super trip. A great tour for families, couples and singles, you made us all feel very welcome.

    This was an awesome way to spend our last day in Vienna. It was a hot one, and it was great to be on the water, get out of the center of the city and have a more “local” experience. James was awesome great guide and it since we were out of the main city the perspective of the area was focused less on the center of the town but more what Vienna is now, he also provided a host of ideas for other places to visit for everyone who was in town longer. If we had more time in the city we would have followed up on a few more, as it was we were pointed to a great lounge with the best view of the city right after we got off the water. Highly recommend.

    We had a very enjoyable 2+ hours paddling around the lakes on the Danube. James was very informative about what we were seeing. Thoroughly recommended. There were opportunities for a swim if you wished.

    Fantastic experience! Must try if you want a taste of local Viennese life and learn some recent city history while enjoying the beautiful waters and people watching from your kayak. The Old Danube (Alte Donau) is a popular place for locals to hang out and for water recreation. Nikola was a fantastic guide and the kayaking is for everyone of all experience levels. Highly recommend!

    What to expect

    1

    Alte Donau

    Alte Donau

    We'll be investigating arguably the most quaint part of Vienna, the Alte Donau; a lakeside village which was cut off from the main Danube channel in 1870. This is where nocturnal beavers now roam in an old side arm of the grand river. Cute lakeside huts adorn the water's edge to give vibrant bursts of colour to the lakeshore. We'll most likely be sharing the water with local rowers, the odd fisherman, and plenty of swans and ducks along the way! If it's hot, we can also take a break for a swim in the clean lake waters. Once the tour ends, if you wanted to keep investigating 'new' Vienna for a bit longer, you could grab lunch or a cocktail at Vienna's nearby 'Copa Beach', swim and hang out on the Danube Island, visit Austria's tallest building - the Danube Tower, or explore the charming Danube Park, all of which are within walking distance from where we'll finish.

    Duration 180 minutes
