What to expect

Paddling takes place in the Karloveské branch of the Danube, guided by an experienced instructor. At the start of each session, the guide explains the basics and shows you how to get into the kayak. You'll prepare the boats together. Bathrooms and changing rooms are available. These events are open to everyone — even complete beginners. Once you're settled in your kayak, you’ll begin exploring the beautiful area while learning the basics of kayaking. Along the way, you might spot beavers and other local wildlife. The beavers come out when the sun sets, usually, so there is a higher chance of seeing them in the evening. On hot days, bring your swimsuit — there’s a chance to take a refreshing swim at the island!
