Kayak Trips
Discover local heritage by kayak, from the Republic of Paulava to Jašiūnai Manor. We welcome beginners and experienced kayakers alike. Choose a one- or two-day kayak route with accommodation. The first day follows a narrower stretch of river with natural obstacles and takes 3–7 hours. The second day continues along an easier stretch and takes 3–8 hours.
We organise kayak trips for all kinds of occasions:
- Group trips
- Individual kayak trips
- Spring trips on the swollen Merkys River
- Hen and stag party trips
- Candlelit night trips for Joninės (Midsummer)
- Short trips of 1.5–2 hours
