CANOES (2 – 3 pers.):
Our canoes are rather big: wider than most of canoes, equipped with 3 seats that would comfortably fit 2 adults and a youngster or even 2 kids under 6 y.o. (but it ofcourse always comes down to one’s height and weight parameters). Enough storage space for everything one usually would take on a boat trip. The boat has also a closable compartment for belongings. These canoes are perfect even for the longest of our Gauja river tours and will also serve well in other sandy, calm rivers and lakes. For touring rocky rivers on the other hand we do suggest a kayak.

Perfect for 1-to-2 day tours while might feel a bit small for longer tours. High sideboards (35 cm). Has luggage tensioners on front part of the boat for storing small items.
