Water sports
‘Summertime and the living is easy!’

Odesa, the Southern pearl of Ukraine, offers activities to meet every demand. This includes windsurfing and kite-surfing facilities which can be found on the outskirts of the city. Prefer to get deeper? Diving possibilities are also here. You should definitely consider Odesa if you like to combine seaside activities with urban tourism.

Water sports are not just about the seaside. Throughout its history the Dnipro river, the major watercourse which runs through Ukraine, has inspired a lot of poets and adrenaline activities lovers and adventure seekers.
Lots of kayaking and rafting experiences await you in the Dnipro river area but we want to feature one special and ‘chilly’ opportunity.
Let’s start with the history. One of the major Cossack fortresses was located on the island of Khortytsia. And the river rapids were used to make it really impregnable. The times are changing, though. Today — extreme addicts regard these natural barriers as big-time rafting facilities. Who are we to disagree?
Not an adrenaline activities lover but rather an observer? Wakeboarding and wakesurfing are getting more and more popular in Ukraine. Try it in Kyiv and enjoy our capital city from the riverside. Our timing tip: summer sunset.
