Family Fun Kayak Tour

Our tours are well suited for beginners and non-swimmers. Prior experience is not necessary. You must be at least 12 years old to take part in the tour. We are happy to organize a private tour for younger participants or in summer season we recommend our Family Fun Tour for a more games and splashing orientated session.

Kayaking is fun in any weather. You will be surprised how nice it is to kayak in rain. Nature is all the more dramatic and the drops of water on the lake make the experience even more unique. The expectations are often lower and, in the end, all the more positive. Trust us, it’s still going to be great. During thunderstorms or very strong winds we may have to cancel or delay tours for safety reasons.

When is the best time of day for a kayak tour?
There’s really no bad time for a kayak tour, it just depends on what you enjoy.

• Mornings are often quieter and more atmospheric.
• Afternoons are usually warmer and sunnier.
• Evenings tend to be calmer and more peaceful.

But it all depends on the weather, which can change throughout the day. We recommend choosing a tour time that best fits your schedule and your energy level.
