Top Bratislava On the Water

Bratislava’s modern history continues to fascinate many visitors, but matching landmarks to their historic context can be difficult. Discover the Soviet influence on the city with a tour of sights including the Slavín monument, Petržalka housing estate, and the SNP Bridge, and gain insight into post-communist life. Travel around town in a retro vehicle, benefiting from the small-group size with personalized attention from your guide.

See the capital city of Slovakia from a different perspective during a kayaking tour of Bratislava. As well as escaping the crowds on land, you’ll be able to snap unobstructed photographs of St. Martin’s Cathedral (Dom svateho Martina) and Bratislava Castle from the water. No previous kayaking experience is required to enjoy this tour.

Despite being a city built on water, few visitors really get out onto Bratislava's waterways. This small-group tour takes you along the natural and historical attractions, so that you can see a different side to Bratislava and discover some hidden gems as you explore.

The river Raba is unique. There are very few dams and civilisation is mostly far away. In the morning the fog rises from the river and the sun shines through it. During the day is hot and you can cool down swimming in the lovely river. In the evening we make fire at the camp and have fun. A night under the stars is special.

Most paddling happens on open rivers or lakes. This trip is different. You immerse yourself in a network connecting and disconnecting the side arms of the mighty Danube. It is a real labyrinth of small streams, rivers, and numerous lakes. We are welcoming individual guests as well as groups. The activity is not aimed at private groups.

Unique way to dive into history and discover nature of Bratislava. Imagine paddling along previously strictly protected Iron Curtain. See the ruins of bunkers and remains of barbed-wire fence which divided the East from the West. Listen to the stories of those who tried to escape. Enter the space that was not too long ago protected by guard towers, electrical fence and soldiers with permission to shoot. Thanks to the EU we can now move around freely and watch the wildlife in the meanders. On kayaks you will be able to access places full of natural beauty. Morave is a blackwater river. It has a deep, slow-moving channel flowing through forested swamps or wetlands. Most blackwater rivers occur in the Amazon/Orinoco basin and the USA. They’re very rare in Europe. Are you ready for a trip full of surprises?

We will paddle along the famous Danube bend. It is place where the river has curved out a canyon through hills. There are historical towns to see as well as great views on nature. The Esztergom basilica dominates the scenery when we start. Then we enter the wide canyon. The river is wide and calm. At the end of the canyon Danube flows out again into the Hungarian flatlands. This is where we finish our journey. We welcome travelers who come in groups or individuals.
