RAFTING CULTURE ON THE UNESCO WORLD LIST

In March 2021, six countries – Poland, Spain, the Czech Republic, Austria, Latvia and Germany – submitted an application to inscribe rafting on UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. It is worth mentioning that work on the application itself – under the guidance of the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage – took more than 2 years. Finally, on December 1 of the same year, rafting was officially recognized by UNESCO. What’s more, the Committee for the Protection of Intangible Cultural Heritage, justifying its decision to include rafting in the List, praised the applicants, explaining the importance of cooperation between countries and the protection of national traditions.

CRUISES - GDANSK

Cruises in the city of Gdansk – see our offer

Galar Gdansk offers:

  • cruises along the Motlawa River through the center of Gdansk, during which you will see from the water, among others, the famous Crane, historical and modern buildings of the Main City,
  • Tourist family cruises on the normally inaccessible waters of the Gdansk Shipyard,
  • sunset tours, an opportunity to admire the distinctive harbor cranes in charming circumstances,
  • An atmospheric night cruise by galley, on which you will see Gdansk, the shipyard and the ongoing work there under the cover of darkness.

Why it’s worth it. Galleys are ships that were mainly used in the 18th century. They add a unique atmosphere to cruises, and combined with live stories and trivia, guarantee an unforgettable experience. A tour of the Gdansk Shipyard and the historic center is an ideal offer both for those who are in Gdansk for the first time and for Tricity residents who want to get to know the city better. Choose our cruises on the Motlawa River and experience an interesting history lesson.

Z pewnością nie zapomnimy tego rejsu. Piękny rejs o zachodzie słońca połączony z opowieściami przewodnika o mijanych przez nas punktach Gdańska. Przewodnik opowiadał z zaangażowaniem w interesujący dla wszystkich sposób. Gorąco polecamy! 🙂
I booked a ticket online but never got a confirmation. I emailed them twice and never got a response to confirm.

Updated from 1 star to 3 star based on the owner's timely response to review and hope to update again after resolving reservation confirmation.

No issues w my reservation after having help to call and confirm. Its a fun thing to do. Fun facts along the way about the parts of gdansk along the water. Every worker was friendly.
Wspaniała opcja zobaczenia Gdańska z poziomu wody.
Tour guide and boat captain Borna & Sebastian (sp?)

🧭 fun, enjoyable, relaxing river cruise

🧭 the guide was fun and cute, had a great way of telling the story of Gdansk and taking well-deserved jabs at capitalism - 💯 here for it

🧭 the boat is calm and cozy, sea sick prone people have nothing to worry about

🧭 highly recommend all around!

NB: the boat docks is out on the water’s edge behind the cafe/bar at the shipyard, so follow the directions for the cafe/bar and you’ll be fine 🙂

  • people with disabilities,
  • cyclists,
  • People traveling with pets.

Customers are also offered the opportunity to rent a galley.

Cruises | Key to a successful vacation

Are you planning a vacation in Gdansk? Perhaps you are just passing through here, or visiting loved ones? The reason for your stay in the Neptune’s City is really irrelevant – all that matters is what you see during it. If you are in the city and have a spare moment, it would be a shame not to take advantage of the opportunity to hop aboard a ship and go on an unforgettable, thrilling adventure. Since Gdansk is a port city, it’s not difficult to find boat tours or other sea activities here. The tourist cruises offered by many carriers are sure to impress all visitors – even the most demanding.

Not everyone is comfortable in crowds – we are well aware of this. For this reason, we have prepared an offer for tourist cruises, which will appeal to all those who appreciate peace and quiet when traveling. Our galleys are replicas of the famous medieval boats that used to be used for river timber floating. Taking care of the highest safety standards, we adapted them into vessels perfect for transporting tourists. On their deck you will find 12 seats – so it is the most optimal space to spend time with family and friends, without worrying about unpleasant squeezing or the presence of dozens of other travelers.

Gdansk | City Guide

Sightseeing in Gdansk is one of the first activities tourists choose to do when they arrive in the city. Neptune’s city has a wonderful and extensive history, which, if told well, most people listen to with bated breath. But why not make the whole experience more interesting? Not everyone feels like covering long kilometers on their own feet – even less so in the company of high temperatures. Sightseeing in Gdansk can take the form of a cruise – a relaxing journey that will provide not only interesting information but also wonderful views, impossible to see anywhere else.

There is no denying that an important component of a successful tour is a good guide for whom history is a passion and not just a way to make a living. If you are looking for such a person, you are in the right place. During a galley cruise, our experienced storyteller will immerse all tour participants in the history of Gdansk from its founding to the present. During the trip, passengers can count on little-known facts and curiosities that are not written about in books. Find out how Gdansk was founded, which famous figures inhabited it and what key events in the history of Europe took place here – all this during a guided sea tour.

Unforgettable boat trips | Gdansk

Wondering what to do in Gdansk? Definitely take advantage of the opportunities offered by the location and go on a sea voyage aboard a ship of your choice! Tourist cruises show a whole new face of sightseeing, which at the same time is affordable for every budget. Observing the city from water level, combined with the relaxing sound of the waves and the intimate atmosphere aboard a galley? Sounds like a recipe for a successful vacation. Sit back, wrap up in the blanket you’ve been given and feel history come alive around you through the stories of our Gdansk guide. A unique experience guaranteed!

Boat tours are one of the most besieged attractions offered by Gdansk. But no wonder – after all, this is the only way to combine active sightseeing with blissful laziness. Setting out on a sea voyage on our galley, you will have a chance not only to savor the beauty of the Gdansk skyline, but also to feel the magic that accompanied the rafters centuries ago. During the cruise you will pass, among other things, the majestic Crane, a symbol of the city and Gdansk’s commercial power. Looking toward the waterfront you will see colorful townhouses that tell the story of their inhabitants. The Old Town still exudes the spirit of the past, and a cruise on the Motlawa River will allow you to delve into its secrets.

Sightseeing in Gdansk on a boat | Experience a unique adventure

Are you dreaming of an unforgettable adventure during your stay in Gdansk? Then we have the perfect proposition for you. Hop aboard our boat and begin your journey through the charming waters of the Motlawa River. It is there, while drifting on the waves of this historic river, that you will discover the secrets and feel the magic of the city. Walking along the waterfront, your eyes will see majestic monuments and buildings that in the past were a testament to the wealth and power of the famous Neptune’s City. Visiting Gdansk does not have to be boring – our guide, whose stories will take you on a unique journey to the past, knows this very well.

You can’t miss this unique opportunity to experience Gdansk from the water. Cruises are not only a great way to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and relax, but also to expand your knowledge and explore places that are unreachable under normal circumstances. Don’t wait any longer! Book a seat aboard a galara and go on an expedition through time and space. Visiting Gdansk on a boat is no ordinary tourist attraction. It’s a journey into the heart of history and culture that will stay with you forever.
