Overview

Embark on an unforgettable adventure with our guided canoe tour through the mesmerizing sand-covered history of Nida! Paddle near the towering Gliders’ Dune, one of Europe’s highest, and gain exclusive access to restricted areas where few have ventured.

Get an up-close look at the outer Schengen border between Lithuania and Russia, a fascinating remnant of geopolitical history. Once ashore, stroll along the soft sands of Parnidžio Dune and immerse yourself in the rich stories of Nida’s past, from the world-renowned Nida Gliders School and its record-setting achievements to the mysterious Death Valley.

Discover that Nida was originally composed of three villages, with the current Nida sitting near the remnants of the previous two, now buried beneath the shifting sands.

On our tour you'll uncover intriguing facts about the Curonian Spit’s history, its unique settlements, and the ever-changing dunes. Allow us to bridge the past with the present on this captivating journey!

Sklandytojų kopa

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.
