Overview

We've developed the only guided paddling route in Vienna, one that explores the grand Old Danube lake, an old side arm of the famous river. Along the way, take in some of Vienna's most important contemporary architecture, learn all about its modern-day influence and experience the undiscovered recreational heart of the city! We may stop at a lake shore cafe or take a swim in the clean water. Expect to share the morning with some rowers, the odd fisherman, & the local bird life. For the most part though, we should have it to ourselves ;-) This is the ultimate summer tour, so come see a different side of this city with us at Venture Vienna. We also limit all of our tours to just 10 people. That means your experience with us is more intimate, enriching and personal alongside your fellow travelers. You'll get loads of tips from us for your stay in the city while making new international friends, getting some sunshine, and being active in the great outdoors!

Itinerary

  • Alte Donau

    We'll be investigating arguably the most quaint part of Vienna, the Alte Donau; a lakeside village which was cut off from the main Danube channel in 1870. This is where nocturnal beavers now roam in an old side arm of the grand river. Cute lakeside huts adorn the water's edge to give vibrant bursts of colour to the lakeshore. We'll most likely be sharing the water with local rowers, the odd fisherman, and plenty of swans and ducks along the way! If it's hot, we can also take a break for a swim in the clean lake waters. Once the tour ends, if you wanted to keep investigating 'new' Vienna for a bit longer, you could grab lunch or a cocktail at Vienna's nearby 'Copa Beach', swim and hang out on the Danube Island, visit Austria's tallest building - the Danube Tower, or explore the charming Danube Park, all of which are within walking distance from where we'll finish.

    3 hours

  • Danube Tower (Pass By)

    We'll be paddling in full view of Austria's tallest building, as well as many of Vienna's other modern skyscrapers within the shadow of its emerging skyline.

  • United Nations in Vienna (Pass By)

    Discover Vienna's international and political side as we paddle past the United Nations' third largest global headquarters. We'll see how modern-day Vienna has maintained its long-established reputation as a center for diplomacy and international relations.

  • Strandbad Gansehaufel (Pass By)

    We'll be paddling all around this secret paradise for the local Viennese - a unique island formed within the Old Danube which has become one of Vienna's most beloved recreational spots.

You HAVE GOT TO take this tour of "New Vienna"!

Published on Oct, 2024

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS KAYAKE TOUR TO EVERYONE. We had a GREAT morning paddling around and learning about Vienna! The best part was it didn't just involve which building, old church or castle was built or destroyed by whomever . We saw "New Vienna" with its interesting buildings that have so much CURRENT relevance . And James gave us so much insight into Austria's current culture . It was worth every penny !

Highly recommend

Beautiful scenery with great information on a part of Vienna that is away from the typical tourist stuff. This was truly a highlight of my trip.

A different perspective after all the stunning architecture

Published on Aug, 2024

The perfect way to spend a hot, sunny morning after a couple of days in the city centre. James was a brilliant guide, great fun and incredibly informative and passionate about Vienna and the natural surroundings. Our teens 17 and 15 had a great time out on the water. Not too much paddling, about 5k in total, but it was flat as a pancake, with more breeze it would be more challenging. A swim stop was included but we chose to visit a nice lakeside cafe instead. Great communication throughout, thanks James for a super trip. A great tour for families, couples and singles, you made us all feel very welcome.

Great way to cool down and get a different experience of the city

Published on Jul, 2024

This was an awesome way to spend our last day in Vienna. It was a hot one, and it was great to be on the water, get out of the center of the city and have a more “local” experience. James was awesome great guide and it since we were out of the main city the perspective of the area was focused less on the center of the town but more what Vienna is now, he also provided a host of ideas for other places to visit for everyone who was in town longer. If we had more time in the city we would have followed up on a few more, as it was we were pointed to a great lounge with the best view of the city right after we got off the water. Highly recommend.

A Lovely Paddling Experience on the Danube

Published on Jul, 2024

We had a very enjoyable 2+ hours paddling around the lakes on the Danube. James was very informative about what we were seeing. Thoroughly recommended. There were opportunities for a swim if you wished.
