15 minutes

During your canoe tour, you'll visit Parnidžio Dune, one of the region's most captivating sand formations. As you walk along its soft, powdery paths, you'll uncover the story of how wind and sand have sculpted this dune over thousands of years. Enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape and learn how the shifting sands have gradually covered the ancient settlement of Nida. Additionally, hear the mysterious tale of Death Valley, a place shrouded in local legends, and discover the intriguing history of French soldiers who were once held captive in this remote area.

We’ll take you close to a restricted area where few are allowed to go, offering an exclusive view of the outer Schengen border between Lithuania and Russia. This border, which divides the Gliders' Dune (Sklandytoju kopa), is more than just a modern boundary—it has a captivating historical significance. Long before the present borders, this region was a crucial part of the Curonian Spit, a landscape deeply influenced by crusader conflicts and shifting geopolitical powers.

15 minutes

We will paddle on the Curonian Lagoon, which is typically calm with minimal waves due to the prevailing westerly winds. Even when the wind is stronger, the dunes provide a wind shadow, keeping the waters calm for us.
