Next session: Sun, 27 Jul 2025, 11:30
On the weekend morning we invite you to join us on a SUP tour on the White Ancha River.
The White Ancha is another spectacular river in Dzūkija, with its cliffs, fun turns and rapids. We will start at its source at Lake Ancha and sail to Kapchiamiescis, where those who want to take a break will be able to do so. We will then continue our journey to the ancient settlement of Pinčiaragis. The route is 11 km long, but due to the obstacles and turns you should plan for a 3-4 hour swim.
TIME. Please arrive before 11.30 am, a minibus will come to bring you to the starting point, where we will be waiting for you, with all the necessary equipment ready for you. We will start with a briefing, during which you will hear all the necessary information: how to get on the paddle board, how to swim correctly, how to behave in case of a fall, which route to take and other important rules of behaviour on the water. The briefing takes about 15 minutes, then you will swim. The route is about 11 km long, which is about 3-4 hours of swimming down the river. For the whole tour you should plan up to 5 hours (with preparation, instructions, packing after the hike).
LOCATION. We will meet in Kaptchia town at the Robinzonas campsite, where we will leave our cars in a safe campsite and a minibus will take us all to the starting point. Meeting point link https://goo.gl/maps/KcknHaaar4eK5CjX9
EQUIPMENT. Wear loose, sporty clothes that don't get mixed up in the water (you can roll up your pants too:) Please choose your clothes depending on the weather, if it's cooler - have warmer clothes. It is recommended to wear special footwear or sports shoes when swimming in cool weather. The swim will take place in the open air, so don't forget to bring mosquito repellent, sunscreen and drinking water. We recommend to have dry clothes in the car in case you accidentally fall (the chances are very low, but it's better to be prepared).
