What rivers and trails do you operate on?

We specialize in the most beautiful rivers of northeastern Poland. Our primary and continuously curated trails include the legendary Krutynia, the wild Biebrza, the scenic Czarna Hańcza, and the Rospuda, Pisa, and Łyna rivers. We started with the Krutynia and have been consistently developing and adding new, exceptional routes to our portfolio over the years.

Do you offer tours for complete beginners?

Absolutely. Many of our trails, particularly certain sections of the Krutynia river, are calm and suitable for beginners. We provide stable, user-friendly kayaks and canoes, and our team offers basic instruction and safety advice. Choosing a guided tour or a shorter one-day trip is an excellent way for novices to build confidence on the water.

What is included in an organized multi-day tour?

Our organized tours, like the 8-day Krutynia trip, are designed for a carefree experience. We typically handle the key logistics: providing the kayaks/canoes, life jackets, waterproof barrels for personal items, and most importantly, the transport of your main luggage between designated campsites or accommodations each day. Specific inclusions are detailed for each tour package.

Can I rent equipment without booking a guided tour?

Yes, we offer a comprehensive rental service separately. You can rent our modern kayaks (Relax, Sprinter, Explorer, Voyager models) or canoes for 2-4 people for your own self-planned adventure. We also offer transport services for the equipment. This allows you the freedom to explore at your own pace while benefiting from our high-quality gear.
