No need to pack like you're crossing the Amazon — just bring the basics for a splashy good time! You’ll need:
A swimsuit (yes, you're getting wet!)

A dry change of clothes for the ride home

Our ducky kayak trips are for anyone who loves fun. Never kayaked before? Perfect — we love first-timers. Coming with kids?

Whether you're a couple looking for a wild date, a solo explorer craving adrenaline, or a group of friends chasing memories, this ride’s for you. You don’t need muscles of steel or nerves of iron — just a bit of curiosity, a splash of courage, and a love for nature’s rollercoaster: the river.
Experience the Salza River's stunning beauty in an intimate setting. Our small group focus ensures personalized attention and an unforgettable journey.
Your safety and comfort are our top priorities — and we back that with high-quality equipment and expert guidance. We provide 5mm neoprene wetsuits to keep you warm, and our premium high-flotation PFDs ensure maximum safety on the water. Every trip is led by internationally certified river guides with over 10+ years of experience.
Our ultra-stable ducky kayaks give you the confidence to take on the Salza’s more technical sections — the same ones most people only reach by rafting. But why sit in a raft when you can be the captain of your own inflatable beast? 🦆💥 Kayaking the emerald-green Salza is the bold way to explore whitewater. It’s challenging, it’s splashy, and yep — it’s totally safe. Just bring your guts and your grin.

We're splashing around 137 Palfau, Austria, riding the beautiful emerald Salza River like it’s our home (because it kinda is). Come find us in the heart of Steiermark – mountain air included for free.
Think of it as the inflatable unicorn of whitewater fun. It’s super stable, surprisingly agile, and lets YOU be the captain. No boring rafts where someone else does the steering.
Nope! If you can hold a paddle and sit in a boat, you’re in. We specialize in making first-timers feel like pros. Zero experience, 100% excitement.
Of course! We gear you up in high-quality helmets, life vests, and 5mm wetsuits. Plus, our guides are trained superheroes (okay, certified river guides... but still awesome).
Yes! Kids from 6 years old are welcome, especially in our tandem ducky kayaks where they get to splash without paddling too hard (you’ll do the work, sorry).
Swimwear, good vibes, and shoes that can get wet. We’ll take care of the rest (wetsuits, jackets, and style points).
Not exactly. But you should be able to float and not panic if you fall in. You’ll be wearing a life jacket, and our guides are always close.
About 2.5 to 4 hours of splashy fun. Long enough to make memories. Short enough to leave you wanting more (and ready for a snack).
You’re gonna get wet anyway! Unless it’s a wild storm or Poseidon himself shows up, we go rain or shine. Adventure doesn’t care about clouds.
Heck yes! Many of our guests come solo. You’ll meet cool people, laugh a lot, and maybe even high-five a stranger by the end.
Absolutely. We love group energy! Stag dos, birthdays, team buildings — you name it, we make it epic.
Mostly, but we also offer rafting trips if you're more into shared paddling and synchronized screaming.
Easy-peasy. Head to Book a Tour, pick a date, and lock it in. Our ducks will be waiting.
Of course! Bonus points if you share with your guide. 😋 We also provide some refreshing river snacks on longer trips.
Because we don’t just float — we make waves. From laugh-out-loud rapids to peaceful scenic stretches, our trips are the perfect blend of thrill, chill, and skill. And let’s be honest — “ducky kayaking” just sounds way more fun.
