Teams

You’re a team? Great. Time to prove it!

Hop into one of our 4-person Canadian canoes, where teamwork isn’t just a buzzword – it’s the only way you’re moving forward. A shared canoe, a shared direction, and ideally a shared sense of humour. Our tour through the waterways of Neukölln and Kreuzberg is pure fun and an effective team-building exercise.

We set off from our beach bar CANOA BEACH on Sonneninsel and paddle along Görlitzer Ufer and Lohmühleninsel at the Oberschleuse. Along the way, you’ll experience the real Kreuzkölln vibe: multicultural, creative, a little wild around the edges. Our guides mix interesting historical facts with entertaining stories you definitely won’t hear in your next Zoom meeting.

Out on the water, deadlines and office routines suddenly feel very far away. Instead, it’s all about fresh air, teamwork, and maybe a friendly debate about who’s paddling out of sync. Don’t worry – our guides make sure everyone feels safe, comfortable, and confident on the water.

And because no great team effort should go unrewarded, you can round off the experience with a BBQ at CANOA BEACH. Our Teams tour is the perfect combo: a shared adventure followed by relaxed hanging out by the water.

Team spirit, sunshine, and sausages – what more could you ask for?
