“Jiri (and Bison) are wonderful guides and were able to spend plenty of time giving us all the information and instruction we needed, along with some great Prague insights”
Paddle Prague on an easy, guided canoe route past top sights, with safety gear, dry bags, and a small-group feel for about 3 hours.
“The tour was great! Our guide Pavel was informative and engaging and we learned a lot about Pragues history and buildings. I was slightly nervous but he made us safe and secure on the water. Canoeing is hard work but there are regular breaks to stop as a group. The photos are slightly misleading as it is on the river and you don’t go down the rapids but this didn’t take away from the experience.”
Prague canoe day trip on the Sazava River, scenic train to the start, easy paddling for all levels, lunch and beer, small group.
“Without knowing it, we had picked the last day of the season and enjoyed the wonderful, still warm weather. Martin organized excellent sandwiches and sweets as well as hot tea which we really needed it in the end. We got a really good introduction but unfortunately went swimming on the canoe trip. But that was more down to our communication and weight/size distribution ;) As Martin even had some dry emergency clothes with him, it wasn't a problem at all. In any case, we had a great day, enjoyed beautiful nature and got away from the touristy Prague. Thank you a lot, Daniela and Andreas :)”
2-hour paddle boarding on Prague’s Vltava River. Learn basics, get local tips, and enjoy city views from the water for $57.
“Seriously worthwhile experience! Myself and my partner paddle a lot back in Scotland, and Samuel tailored our experience and let us jump straight on the water after a quick warm up and brief. Samuel is an extremely talented guide to the city and paddler, so he made the whole experience very enjoyable! The option for a paddle race and jumping into the water topped it all off. Could not recommend this enough whether you have never paddled before or you are experienced and looking to paddle in a unique stetting!”
Canoe the Sazava River on a beginner-friendly Prague day trip with hotel pickup, included gear, lunch and beer, and guided rapids.
