KAYAK TRIPS ACROSS ST. PETERSBURG
Kayaking in the northern capital of Russia
Our kayak tours in St. Petersburg are a unique opportunity to discover an unusual perspective of the city you love. It was only quite recently, in April 2016, that, thanks to our efforts, kayaking first took shape in St. Petersburg as a locally available activity, but since that time, quite a few people, locals and visitors alike, have grown to love it. A kayak trip around St. Petersburg is a great recreational experience combined with the indulgence of taking in the magnificent views of the city!
Striving to make our tours as comfortable as possible for a wide range of participants, we have come up with a few types of kayaking itineraries for St. Petersburg: we have specific offerings for morning, afternoon, and evening hours; for weekdays and for weekends.
