Breathtaking views of the setting sun against the background of shipyard cranes.
Discover Gdańsk from a water perspective on board a replica of a Polish river boat used for over 400 years. An intimate, wooden and spacious 12-seater boat will take you to places unavailable to large ships, and thanks to the low number of passengers you'll feel at ease and special. You will start the cruise from the former areas of the Gdańsk Shipyard, which was unavailable to visitors for over 170 years.
Next, you'll go on a cruise on Motława - the center of the Old Town. You will see many tourist attractions, including the ruins of the Teutonic castle, water gates leading to the city, the famous wooden crane from the 15th century, charming old tenement houses and their new setting. You will follow a route that will also show you monuments and new buildings of the Ołowianka Island and the Granary Island.
This trip is also a unique and only opportunity to see up close specialist vessels, Gdansk cranes.

Absolutely unfair and brazen.

1.00Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this as a group!!!! We were a group of 7 people, and the organizer refused to let us all on one boat (designed for 12 people). There was no apparent reason for this. At one point, there were only four people on a boat, but the crew simply ignored that and prioritized other travelers who were there as couples. We were told, without any apparent reason, that we had to split up. This naturally raised the question for us, why??? There was no answer to that. Absolutely incomprehensibly unfair and frustrating, as it was our last evening with friends. Unfortunately, the money has not been refunded yet.
Fabulous river cruise through Old Town Gdansk

5.00While the pier is a bit difficult to locate, the cruise was fabulous. Our guides took their time, explaining points of interests and navigating through the river and canals. Well worth the time and cost.
Super evening tour on the canals

5.00A very peaceful, informative and relaxing tour of the waterways close to Gdansk's city centre.
If you want to share great photos online, this is a must ;)

5.00This one is a must. Regardless of weather and wind. I have been on many canal tours, around Europe. But this one takes the price, for the most beautiful and cozy. And at the same time a friendly and skilled guide. Next time I come to Gdansk, I will probably take the same trip here again.

Beware

1.00Beware. They will have left the dock at the time of the tour. Get there 15 minutes early because it will take you 5-10 minutes to figure out exactly where the tour is since there is no signs and a giant dirt parking lot you will need to navigate. We followed the address given and were not told to be there 10 minutes early. We got to the address on time but the google maps location is incorrect. Once we eventually saw the location and made our way there it was still confusing as there are no signs. But nonetheless the tour left at 7pm on the dot. Again we were not given any details or instructions. Best part is that they wouldn’t give us a refund and claimed we were incompetent for not finding the location
