Sobre esta atividade
Trakai used to be a medieval residence of Lithuanian Grand Dukes. Once a significant and powerful town, nowadays Trakai is enjoying tranquillity. The town is located next to Vilnius which is 15-miles (about 25-km) surrounded by several beautiful lakes. The main attraction is the Island castle which was initiated by Lithuanian Grand Duke Kęstutis in 14th century, finished and mostly used as a residence by his son Grand Duke Vytautas in the first half of 15th century. The picturesque Užutrakis manor house and park by French landscape architect Édouard François André is another must visit point on the shore of Lake Galvė. Trakai is also famous for its traditional Karaites community which was brought here from Crimea by Vytautas and settled here in the 15th century. All that and also ruins of the Peninsular castle, small islands and tranquillity of Lake Skaistis you will be able to see and experience while taking a kayak tour on the lakes around Trakai.
The kayaking route takes you on 3 interconnected lakes. The distance is about 11/8 km which makes 3/2-hours of active paddling.
The tour is safe and suitable for beginners. Swimming skills are essential and some paddling experience would be useful too (but not necessary). The lakes around Trakai are usually very calm. However we can change our route depending on weather conditions.

My mother and I had a wonderful time with our guide Tomas on our tour through the lakes around Trakai. It was our first time using a sea-type kayak with the rudder, but he was very patient with us, haha. The weather got a little chilly when the clouds came out, but we still had a nice picnic lunch at a small island campsite. He brought kibinai pastries and an apple dessert from a local shop that were very tasty. Tomas also took quite a few pictures with his waterproof camera and emailed them to us several days after the trip. I would highly recommend this tour!
