Bachelor & bachelorette parties

Planning a bachelor or bachelorette party? Let’s kick things off with a paddle before the party!

A canoe tour with CANOA BERLIN is the perfect warm-up before diving into Berlin’s legendary nightlife. Instead of starting the day in a bar, start it on the water – relaxed, outdoors, and with just the right amount of adventure. We’ll cruise through Neukölln and Kreuzberg, soaking up the vibe of two of Berlin’s trendiest districts while our guides share insider tips for your big night ahead. (Yes, we know a spot or two.)

We set off from our beach bar on Sonneninsel and paddle along Görlitzer Ufer and Lohmühleninsel at the Oberschleuse. Expect laid-back vibes, multicultural flair, and plenty of postcard-worthy views. If you’re in the mood, you’ll also hear a few surprising stories about Berlin’s history – and if not, you can simply lean back and enjoy the ride. It’s your party, after all.

And the best part? After working up a little thirst on the water, you can head straight to CANOA BEACH – Berlin’s only beach bar with direct water access – and keep the celebrations going.

Paddling, sunshine, cold drinks, and your favourite people all in one place. Not a bad way to send someone off into married life, right?
