Bachelor Party in the Eifel: A Canoe Tour That Truly Bonds
A bachelor party in the Eifel with Kanu Petry is the answer to the classic NRW stag do that too often ends in a pub crawl. We organize your party completely: boats, life jackets, briefing, certified guides and the right tour for your group. Whether a bachelorette party on the calm Heimbach Reservoir in four-seater canoes or a bachelor party on the Rur with flowing-water action, we scale from 6 people up to large groups.
Our waters lie in the middle of the Eifel National Park, between Heimbach and Zerkall. From Cologne, Aachen or Düsseldorf you reach us in 45 to 60 minutes, yet it feels like another world. Hengebach Castle by the water, the Art Nouveau power station of Heimbach as the local landmark, horses on the banks and the occasional beaver. Exactly the right setting for stories still told after the wedding, instead of gaps in your memory.
What sets us apart from pub-crawl providers: alcohol is off-limits before and during the tour for safety reasons (terms § 4.4). If you want to celebrate, you can do that on land after the tour, there's plenty of room for it. If you want a real experience, you paddle first. That's the difference between a bachelor-party blackout and a bachelor-party memory.

We booked a tour as a company outing. Wolfgang made the dry-land practice relaxed and entertaining. Out on the water it was fun and engaging, and the short talk about the beavers fascinated me. The exercises showed how important teamwork and communication are. All in all a wonderful experience.
Great service, fantastic staff and a beautiful setting at the reservoir in Heimbach. Our event in the four-seater kayaks was varied, fun and perfectly organized. Many thanks to Kanu Petry for this great experience.
We had a blast canoeing on the Heimbach reservoir. Huge praise to Dastin. Ages ranged from 9 to 50 and everyone was thrilled. The team-building tasks in particular were perfectly explained and a complete success, they really strengthened our bond. We'll definitely be back.
