Safariyak – Solo Canoe Adventure in the Alps
The Safariyak is a stable, easy-to-handle single-seat canoe, perfect for safely discovering Alpine rivers.
With a double paddle, you glide with the current — and for the more adventurous, there’s even the chance to surf the waves.
This unsinkable boat is suitable for everyone, including beginners. It’s also a great way to try kayaking — with no risk of capsizing.
