Join us for an unforgettable private two-hour kayaking adventure on the glacial waters of Lake Hallstatt, one of Austria’s most beautiful and historic natural wonders. This guided circular tour takes you on a breathtaking journey along dramatic Alpine shores, through ancient landscapes shaped by glaciers, and past the colorful, centuries-old village of Hallstatt — a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
We begin on the lake’s western shore, gliding past Hallstatt’s historic old town where houses cling to steep mountainsides. As we move along the shoreline, you'll hear the story of how this village, rich in salt mining history, developed over thousands of years.
This tour is designed for all skill levels, with a gentle pace and plenty of opportunities to rest, learn, and connect with the stunning Alpine environment. Whether you’re a first-time kayaker or an experienced paddler, this experience offers a perfect combination of natural beauty, history, and adventure.
