Private Kayak Tour in Prague
Description
Discover the beauty of Prague from a kayak! Our route starts and ends in Podolí near the Racek botel. The trip to Jirásek Bridge is 2.8 km, offering the best views of the city. We can’t go further due to river weirs, so the shortest round trip is about 6 km. If you’d like to paddle more, I’ll gladly show you other interesting spots on the Vltava. Before we start, you’ll learn how to handle a sea kayak – they’re very stable and perfect for beginners. Along the way, you’ll see Prague Castle, the National Theatre, Mánes, and more. You can set your own pace – relaxed or more active. This tour is a unique and peaceful way to experience Prague from a new angle. I believe kayaking on the Vltava will be one of the highlights of your visit!

I thoroughly enjoyed my time on the river. The equipment was in great shape. Sometimes the paddles are awful on these excursions but this one was very acceptable. Jan did a nice job guiding but was not a chatterbox, a quiet and peaceful experience. I highly recommend it, I’m an experienced paddler so it was really nice not being in a slow group, or any group for that matter. It was just me and my guide.
We have gone on many kayaking tours and this one was extra special. Our guide, I’m sorry I don’t remember his name, but he was very nice and gave us a rich history lesson of the sites from the river, and was good for a chat about things to do. We would definitely recommend this activity to anyone visiting Prague! There was a crew race going on, and we got to experience it, racers rolling by, bonus! We appreciated the fact we were able to go at our own pace, never felt rushed, and at the end you go through a beautiful section of river that reminded me of kayaking in Hawaii!
This was exactly what I was looking for, a chance to get out on the water in the beautiful city of Prague. My guide provided all of the necessary equipment and I was so happy with how comfortable the kayak was. The river was beautiful and I saw many different birds along my route. And, I am very thankful for Jan’s willingness to accommodate what worked for me. Thank you so much for making this available!
The guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. I felt very safe with his instructions and help with the kayak. I learned a lot about Prague during the tour. Highly recommended.
Jan was great, he provided all of the needed instructions and was a really good tour guide as we were gliding down the Vltava. This was my very first time kayaking and I had an excellent run - I genuinely felt safe and at peace and I might've just found a new hobby. We took all the time we needed and got some pretty impressive views in the mix. Absolutely recommended.
Wonderful paddle with beautiful scenery. We enjoyed seeing how many people were on the water kayaking and rowing.
