Wachau Valley Day Trip

10 hours and 30 minutes

Easy

Quite simply the best way to experience the incredible Wachau Valley, on our full-day kayak tour through one of the world's most picturesque wine regions.
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 Wachau Valley tour from Vienna, with our specialist kayak instructor and Austrian wine expert, showcases this amazing natural region like no other...

And if you don’t have much interest in wine, then no worries! We can skip the Wachau wine tasting and spend more time in the beautiful medieval villages instead! Kayaking is the undeniable highlight and main focus of this day.

        What to bring

          To wear: Check the weather forecast on the the day of your tour and dress accordingly, but generally speaking a sun hat, t-shirt, shorts, and a warmer layer in case of wind or cooler conditions should suffice (possibly also a light rain jacket). Flip flops, water shoes, or other footwear that you don't mind getting a little wet.

          To bring: It's best to travel light, but you may want to bring a small towel, sun cream, fully charged camera phone, snacks and some water.
