Kayaking On The Minija River

Make the most of your time away from the bustle of the town while Kayaking on the River Minija, admiring the gorgeous scenery and discovering what village life is like on a river delta in rural Lithuania.

Drive through the lush countryside as your guide describes points of interest and offers commentary on the history of Lithuania, a country that gained its independence from the Soviets in 1991. Arrive in the green lush valley of the river Minija, which stretches for 202 km and is well known for fishing and kayaking.

Following a short briefing and fitting your life vests, you will ease into a kayak and begin paddling through the river’s typically calm waters. Kayaking offers the opportunity to view the Lithuanian countryside from a unique perspective, taking in the scenery and pausing to enjoy the serenity of the setting. You may encounter other kayakers and anglers fishing for freshwater species such as tench and zander, but the river will most likely be uncrowded. Back on shore, regain some energy with Lithuanian cake and fresh juice before returning to the pier.
