See Heidelberg from the water!

Published on Oct, 2024

A challenging, but rewarding day on the water with a friendly and professional (and safety-oriented) guide. Would do again -- in the middle of Summer.

Fantastic 70th birthday treat!

Published on Aug, 2024

Never having tried anything like this before, I was a bit apprehensive but I really needn't have worried. Ludger explained everything in detail before we got into the kayaks and really put me at my ease. It was great fun and the views of Heidelberg from the river were fabulous. Ludger stopped several times to point out places of interest and included lots of anecdotes relating to the history of the town (in German and English). It was all very enjoyable and I would definitely do it again, although next time I would wear gloves as the oars rubbed the skin between my thumb and forefinger a little, but maybe that's just me!

Lovely views of Heidelberg

Published on Aug, 2024

Lovely way to see the old town from a different perspective. Good quality/stable Kayaks and an excellent guide - made sure he kept everyone safe and informed - in both German and English. Very placid stretch of river - with limited commercial traffic - so a great setting for people of all levels of experience.

Must-do in Heidelberg

Ludger was an excellent tour guide! The kayaks are very comfortable and safe. Amazing views of the city and the river is very accessible for novice kayakers.

Fun chill paddle. A little tricky to find meet up but good communication via phone. Stable comfortable kayaks.

Stable chill paddle. A bit difficult to find meetup as we could not see it from the direction we drove in but good communication on phone to get us back on track. Comfortable stable kayaks.
