    Guided kayak tour in Rostock's city harbour

    Let us take you on a change of perspective!

    We will explore Rostock's eventful history with you, from the first Slavic castle to the present day. In the city harbour, you can discover many milestones, big and small, of our old Hanseatic city. Because it all began on the water! Climb aboard and experience a city tour with a difference. You are the protagonist and paddle at your own speed in a single or double kayak.

    The group gathers at prominent meeting points to learn interesting facts about Rostock. Take in the impressive backdrop of the city from a distance! The Unterwarnow offers wonderful urban and maritime views as well as plenty of nature. With a bit of luck, you might spot kingfishers and even sea eagles.

    Our city paddle tours take you through the city harbour and the Petri district for two hours. Our kayaks are very stable and ideal for beginners and novices. You don't need to have any paddling experience.

Past the icebreaker Stephan Janzen and traditional and museum ships as well as numerous pleasure craft. Take a look at the warehouses and buildings of well-known companies, such as AIDA Cruises or Centogene, which have their headquarters in Rostock.
