What To Expect
We will pick you up from your location in Vilnius and disembark near one of Trakai lakes. We will begin our tour with learning basic strokes, how to handle a canoe and the safety rules.
After paddling for a while we will reach Lake Galve with our main point of interest – Trakai Castle.
We will take some amazing photos of you paddling a cedar strip canoe. You will also get some areal pictures with the Castle in the background. Let's move on, as we will return to the Castle on our way back. From now on, you will have this rare opportunity to enjoy paddling, nature and historical heritage all in one canoe. After visiting a couple of beautiful landmarks, we will make a stop at one of the uninhabited islands for a picnic. Once we've finished, we will head back and if we’re lucky enough, we will enjoy a picturesque peaceful sunset at the Trakai Castle.
