You can visit the island with the help of various watercraft – with us you will see it in the most beautiful way, rowing around it with kayak.
It represents a rare opportunity to see Belgrade from a different perspective and in a different way than usual.
This adventure is very interesting, fulfilled with wild nature, although we are in the very center of the city.

We will be rowing to the beach Lido (located on the northern part of the island), and if the weather is adequate, we can have a swim in the river. Further we’ll continue along the coast and make a circle around the Great War Island and return to the starting point. This adventure lasts 2 hours, but if you want it can take longer.

5.00“Kayaking around the "Great War Island’ with Danije was a highlight of my trip! As a local, he shared fascinating history about the island, Belgrade, and Serbia. The Danube was beautiful, the stories were captivating, and the experience was unforgettable. I’d do it again in a heartbeat!”
Great tour!

5.00My wife and our two friends had a great time on the kayak tour - the weather was due to be thundery but it was sunshine throughout which was brilliant. It can be tough at times, when paddling against the current - so you feel like you've earned your cevapi afterwards! The scenery is brilliant and the guide was really clear with instructions and kept the group safe at all times. When able during the tour he had some good recommendations of things to do in Belgrade and was very friendly. I mixed up my days and our group arrived a day early . . . which was completely my fault - but still they managed to accommodate us and it didn't impact on the rest of our trip, this was really good of them as they would have been well within their rights to turn us away and we all really appreciated them helping us out when I'd made a massive mistake! Due to the nature of the tour it's worth noting that this isn't guided, as in you won't get a great deal of information as you would on a walking tour. But this is understandable as the guide needs to concentrate on safety far more than on other types of tour.

2.00It was fun to go out on the river but....... a little instruction before we started - for those that had not kayaked before this was not sufficient. Once on the river they were left to it and frequently were left a long way behind. We finished well after sunset and one couple of girls were still out of sight further downstream. Our guide was not very talkative until we made a real effort to talk to him. He seemed frustrated by the girls inability and made little effort to make the experience a fun group activity. A lot of wood and rubbish being carried downstream and bad mosquitos at sunset. No photos.

5.00It was an amazing tour, a different way to discover Belgrade. The guide was friendly and did his best to make sure we had a good time. For example, he found a very nice spot where we could swim. Don’t worry if you don’t speak Serbian, the guide spoke very often in English to ensure I understood everything. Indeed, I was the only non-Serbian speaker, which contributed to making the experience very authentic. He also kindly sent us the pictures he took during the tour. I highly recommend this activity.
Loved it!

"True Detective"-like nature

5.00Wonderful trip down the river and around Great War Island with it's Louisiana-like nature (felt like we were in "True Detective" for a while there). Our guide was very polite and helpful. Even for me and my friend, who are not used to kayaking, the trip was not too exhausting (though quite the workout, to be sure). Recommended!
