MIGHTY SANDS - Premium guided canoe tour at Curonian spit National Park
Klaipeda, Lithuania
A unique combination of wind, water and sand has been shaping this narrow strip of land since the beginning of time.
Today it is known as the Curonian Spit and it is a UNESCO world heritage site.
There is plenty to see here: the migrating dunes, the wildlife, the old fishermen villages and, the last but not the least, the Pervalka Lighthouse. We believe that the combination of the spectacular nature, cultural and historical heritage and a truly unforgettable cedar canoe paddling experience makes this tour one of a kind.
Take a chance to experience a unique place in an unforgettable way. Paddle your cedar strip canoe towards that dune. Make yourself comfortable in our stylish outdoor chairs and enjoy our legendary Wet Weim picnic basket.
