Austria, Salza river “Double Ducky” kayak adventure

3.Austria, Salza river “Double Ducky” kayak adventure

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 17 reviews · from $96Best value

Review of the Salza River Double Ducky kayak adventure in Austria, with family-friendly rapids, gear, guides, pricing, itinerary, and booking tips.

“I can definitely recommend the tour with Zita who is a top guide and a real professional on the Kajak. The double ducky is a really beginner friendly and safe way to explore the light white water and the fantastic nature of the soča River. Zita also managed to shot a decent amount of good quality souvenir photos/videos. I think the tour with the double ducky is best suited for partners and/or families because paddling together is fun and parents can have an eye on their children while sitting in the same boat. Kind regards and have a good trip, TobiRead more”

Paddle the Danube through Austria’s Wachau Valley, taste local wines, visit Dürnstein, and enjoy a private day trip from Vienna.

“We had a fantastic time discovering the Wachau Valley on a Kayak! Our guide was very pleasant and he shared details about the region throughout the day. It was a well curated day trip and we also much enjoyed our final leg of hiking up to the top of the hill overlooking the Valley from the ruins of a castle… while learning a bit about the history of Richard Lionheart (bring steady shoes if you plan to hike that hill at the end of your tour) We highly recommend this wonderful daytrip to anyone who enjoys Kayaking and learning about this special place in Austria- the Wachau Valley and vineyards.”
