Sustainable Adventures for the Conscious Traveler
You deserve to see a side of Austria that most visitors miss. If you’ve been searching for something truly different – if you can’t face another crowded museum or you just need to plug into nature for a while – then let Venture Vienna be your guide.
We swap noisy tour buses and impersonal tours for quiet riverbanks and hidden vineyard trails. Whether we’re kayaking through the UNESCO-listed Wachau Valley or hiking the Vienna Woods, our mission is simple: to provide high-impact experiences with a low-carbon footprint.
We’ve crafted a curated selection of unique outdoor activities and day tours designed to help you escape the crowds and discover the green, active, and authentic side of the country we love:
- Kayak the Danube: From the city’s secret channels to the incredible Wachau Valley.
- Vineyard Hikes: Wine tasting and trekking through the beautiful Vienna Woods and Burgenland.
- Seasonal Magic: Exploring the city’s most authentic, crowd-free Christmas Markets.
You’re in the right place, so let’s get out of the city and into the wild.

Innovative Day Trips From Vienna
In both summer & winter we love helping people to discover new places with our range of unique day trips from Vienna. Exploring new places and creating new, off-the-beaten-path itineraries is what drives us as a company. So no matter how out there your request may be, if there's a different place or activity that you want to experience, we'll try to make it happen.
Vienna Tours for families
When traveling with kids, it's not always easy to find something that everyone will enjoy, so we've developed fun activities and tours for families to let your little ones burn off their energy and give them (and you!) a break from the museums. Naturally we offer reduced children's rates as part of that.
Why I Started Venture Vienna
Venture Vienna was born in 2019, when its founder (i.e. me) decided that Vienna needed to up its game when it came to outdoor activities and unique things to do.
I felt that people deserved something more authentic – something that actually connected them back to nature, so I decided to create the experiences I wanted to find: innovative days out that you might not have thought possible in Vienna. Whether it’s kayaking through one of the world’s finest wine regions or otherwise getting truly off-the-beaten-path in nature, my aim is always to create something truly different.
So screw the corporate third-person talk, I’m just a local who loves this landscape and wants to show you the best of it. Come join me on the trail, on the water, or in the vineyards for a relaxed exploration of whatever’s going on in that place, at that point in time. I look forward to meeting you.
