Germany · KAYAK TOURS IN BERLIN
Good kayak tours in Berlin fill up weeks ahead; the great ones go first. Below: the 5 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Sunset kayaking on Berlin’s Landwehr Canal through Kreuzberg in a small group, with easy paddling, local history stops, and evening views.
“Very good team building experience. The guide was very nice and the history part of the tour was quite interesting. Fun thing to do in Berlin.”
Paddle Berlin’s Landwehrkanal and Spree past Kreuzberg culture, the former Iron Curtain boundary, and Oberbaumbrücke on a guided kayak trip.
“Wonderful paddle though the Berlin canals and Spree. I was worried at first that 3 hours of kayaking might be a bit too extranaous, but was just the right amount. You get to go through the locks and see water levels changing, which is cool. Tour guide shared some interesting historical background to the canals and areas passed through, but this is more of a kayaking experience and less a historical/factual sort of thing.”
Paddle the Landwehr Canal on a guided canoe trip through Kreuzberg, passing Oberbaum Bridge and the Molecule Man, with great guide stories.
“We had an amazing canoe trip up the canal. There's lots of fascinating information and Pedro is a great guide. Really enjoyed it.”
One-way kayak West Berlin from Kreuzberg to Charlottenburg, paddle under the U1 line and cross a historic water lock on the Spree.
“We had a calm day with plenty of sunshine so the setting was perfect. Just about the right length of time for a beginner, highly recommended.”
Paddle the Spree on a 1.5-hour SUP tour from Funkhaus, spotting Berlin landmarks, islands, and handmade floating creations with gear included.
“friendly and informative paddle board instructor who had a lot of knowledge of the landmarks we paddled past. we also got 40 minutes free because he lost track of time - result! i was nervous as i hadn't paddle boarded before, but it's really easy, safe and fun! really recommend, location is great, with a bar offering beer and burgers nearby.”
Every kind of German day out, and the best of each.
