Running for 33 kms between Melk and Krems, the Wachau valley is the most beautiful stretch of the entire Danube River. Home to rolling hills, ancient castles, picture postcard villages and steeply terraced vineyards, the Wachau also produces some of Austria's finest wines. Your private kayaking excursion, with our specialist kayak instructor and Austrian wine expert, showcases this amazing natural region like no other...
If you're not a wine expert then no worries! You don't need to be, this is just about having a lovely day on the water, exploring its cute villages and sampling some of the valley's specialty products along the way. Kayaking is the undeniable highlight and main focus of the day.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Meet outside the main entrance to Westbahnhof train station at 08:00 if hotel pick-up is not required.
What to expect
The first part of the tour takes us downstream through west Wachau where the hills are covered in carpets of trees with castles & palaces sitting proudly on the edge of the Danube. We'll then stop in the picture postcard village of Spitz for an extensive wine tasting.
After continuing downstream briefly, we'll take another break, this time for lunch in a small yet historically fascinating local hamlet (lunch not included).
After lunch, we'll continue downstream to the picturesque Durnstein - the undisputed gem of the Wachau. During your free time here you'll be able to climb the ruins of Durnstein Castle (if you wish!) to get some breath-taking views and photos over the river and the vineyard landscapes below.
Hotel drop-off in either Vienna or the Wachau, depending on where you are staying.
