Float from Luodis Lake into the mellow bends of the Šventoji on a 2.5-hour guided kayak trip through Gražutės Regional Park—beginner-friendly paddling, a safety briefing, hot tea and a swim to finish.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A low-slung kayak slips away from a pine-fringed shore and the gentle current of the Šventoji takes over—broad, slow, and patient. For the next two and a half hours you move between lake basins and river bends, paddles ticking, reed beds brushing the hull and the forest pressing close to the water's edge. Clouds drift; birds call; the engine of town life feels miles away.

Wear quick-dry clothing
Synthetic layers dry fast and reduce chill after a swim; avoid cotton which stays wet.
Bring a dry bag
Keep your phone, extra clothing and car keys sealed in a dry bag supplied or personal one.
Apply insect repellent
Reed beds and lakeshore forest harbor mosquitoes—repellent and a light head net are useful in spring and summer.

summer
Waterproof dry bag (5–10L)
Protects valuables and spare layers from spray and accidental immersion.
Secure water footwear
