- Crane - The Crane stands as a prominent symbol of Gdansk, representing the remnants of the city’s illustrious trading era. Constructed in the mid-15th century as part of the largest double-towered gate along the shoreline, it was used for installing and removing ship masts, as well as loading and unloading heavy cargo from vessels at the quay. Remarkably, this human-powered mechanism could lift loads up to 2000kg, making it the largest crane in medieval Europe.
- SS Soldek - SS Sołdek was a Polish freighter designed for transporting coal and ore.
- Gdansk Shipyard - Gdansk Remontowa Shipyard remains a bustling, operational yard, perfect for those interested in observing ships of various sizes in different stages of repair or construction. It’s fascinating to paddle and witness workers engaged in ferry maintenance.
- Ołowianka B&B - Enjoy an incredible kayak tour along the Motlawa River, circling two of Gdansk’s islands: Granary Island and Olowianka Island. Gdansk’s unique location at the intersection of sea and river routes, including the Vistula River at the Baltic estuary, as well as the Radunia and Motlawa rivers, significantly influenced the city’s growth. Literature and drawings depict water as a vital element of the city’s life, and today, it’s essential to showcase Gdansk’s connection to water.
- Motlawa River Embankment (Dlugie Pobrzeze) - A kayak tour offers a fresh perspective on the historical significance of the Main City. Paddling through the canals provides the freedom to explore areas inaccessible to ferries, revealing a completely different side of Gdansk than what is seen from land.

Magical Sunset Tour - First time kayaking for us and following this it will definitely not be the last. From the moment we arrived the guide was very warm and welcoming as well as the other travellers. The guide talked us through the equipment and was on hand for any issues. We absolutely loved the tour as first timers - great experience and knowledge about Gdansk. Thank you for a lovely time and don’t hesitate if first timers, you will love it!!

A must-do in Gdansk! - This was an absolute highlight of mine and my friend's trip! Our instructor, Nick, was just brilliant - helpful and friendly, with some great information about the city and advice on other things to do during our trip. We'd never used a double kayak before but got the hang of things pretty quickly and felt very safe. It was also nice getting to know the others in the group. Would certainly recommend, even for novice kayakers 😊

Recommended mini adventure in Gdansk! - It was such a great little adventure, and a nice break from walking around the city all day. The guide was a really fun and good guide - he knew so much about the city of Gdansk. And to end the trip with the sunset in the harbor was really beautiful, among all the ships, the rust, the seagulls, the cranes and so on. Recommend!!

Gdansk from the water should be seen. - Highly recommended! Super friendly kayaking guide Nick from Australia gave safety instructions at the beginning and then it started quickly. It is a nice paddle tour with a fantastic old town setting of Gdańsk and then the port of Gdańsk. Too bad that due to the weather only the approach of sunset could be seen, but was not bad. We always thought it was cool. Thanks Nick for the great tour in Gdansk!

Fun kayak tour of Gdansk - Fantastic tour of old Gdansk and the shipyards from the water, and a cracking sunset to top it all off. Simon was an excellent guide both for his kayak instruction and his historical facts.
