Smalva river is the wildest one of those we run our tours at. It is a real adventure as this river is rarely used for kayaking.
This tour is for brave adventurers; it's not for those who want to simply sit back in a kayak. Unexpected things will happen on your way - obstacles, fast currents, wild animals, beavers' dams. But don't worry, you'll still be able to recharge and appreciate the natural landscape.
This tour is also a unique opportunity to see the first railway in Lithuania as well as the "tsar's steps" and the bridge reflecting the industrial heritage of the tsar's rule.
We promise, this tour will be full of stories and new experiences! Hop on!
