Spend 14 hours outside Warsaw with a Krutyń River canoe trip, Mikołajki town time, and a sunset yacht cruise with dinner on Śniadrwy Lake.
“It was a lovely sunny day which was perfect for kayaking. We weren't lucky enough to find the lakes in a quiet state as the day of our tour fell on a bridge holiday and there were a lot of people on the lake. However, overall it was nice. You can get tired if you decide to row all the way to the end point. Also, the dinner on the yacht was really lovely and a relaxing end to our day.”
Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
