Main description

This activity is suitable for sporty types at all levels. The trip starts below Vyšehrad rock, very close to the railway bridge, aboard the Kayak Beach Bar boat. Before you set off, an experienced English-speaking instructor will show you how to use the kayak, offer some dos and don’ts of sailing safety, and advise you what to do in case of an accident. The instructor will be with you throughout the trip on the River Vltava.

During the trip, Prague’s main sights will be within easy reach, especially so at Vyšehrad, if you take the wonderful opportunity to get close to the rock. During the trip, the instructor will let you go at your own pace and take your own course, and will point out fascinating facts. You’ll learn about Prague sights, such as the Dancing House, National Theatre, the Charles Bridge, and Prague Castle. You’ll also find out about canoeing and boating life in Prague.

We set sail come rain or shine. But if it’s cold, your life jacket and gloves, issued free of charge, will keep chills at bay. If it rains, your instructor will provide a rain jacket.

Whatever the weather, you can be sure that the beauty of historic Prague as seen from a boat will take your breath away.
