My (adult) daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the night canoe tour. As we didn't have our own vehicle, or know the town at all, we appreciated that Janis picked us up at our hotel. It's important to dress for the weather for this outing. We were fortunate that the warm fall evening provided ideal weather and conditions.
The peacefulness of paddling through the calm waters while taking in the stunning city lights reflecting off the surface was incredible. It offered a completely different perspective of Klaipeda. Janis was not only knowledgeable about the area, and great at explaining the basics of canoeing, but also made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the tour.
There were only two groups/canoes on this tour, so the introduction and practice paddling went quickly. We were on the water for a little over an hour, which felt like just the right amount of time. It's not a strenuous activity, so it would be suitable for almost anyone. We had plenty of time to take photos and Janis took photos of each group along the way.
The canoes and paddles are beautifully hand-crafted by Janis. My daughter said it was the most comfortable canoe she's ever been in.
This tour is a must-do for anyone looking to explore the city in a unique and peaceful way. Highly recommended!
