Wild Beach single handed Blokart Safari

Review of the Wild Beach Single-Handed Blokart Safari in Klaipeda, Lithuania

If you’re craving a combination of adrenaline, nature, and a touch of novelty, the Wild Beach single-handed Blokart Safari might just be your next favorite day out. Based in Klaipeda, Lithuania, this experience offers a unique way to enjoy the Curonian Spit’s endless sandy beaches while learning the art of landsailing on a wind-powered three-wheeler — the Blokart. With guides who are champions in the sport, you are in safe hands, and the scenery along the Baltic Sea is simply spectacular.

What I really appreciate about this tour is how accessible it makes windsurfing-like fun for beginners. The brief instruction session means you don’t need prior experience to get started, and once you’re behind the wheel, it’s all about speed, sand, and sea breezes. Plus, the combination of safety gear and professional guidance ensures you can focus on enjoying the thrill without worry. My favorite part? The chance to race seagulls and cormorants as you glide along 20 km of pristine beach.

The one potential consideration? The tour depends heavily on favorable wind conditions. If the wind isn’t cooperating, your adventure might be postponed or rescheduled. However, the flexible policy ensures you can choose an alternative date or get a full refund if weather doesn’t cooperate — a smart move for peace of mind.

A Thrilling Ride on Lithuania’s Baltic Coast

While many travelers might associate Lithuania with medieval towns or forests, this adventure proves that the country’s coast offers something just as exciting. The Curonian Spit, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is famous for its towering dunes, vibrant flora, and, in this case, the perfect playground for landsailing.

The start point at Smiltyne Beach provides a stunning backdrop of white sand and gentle waves, ideal for first-time blokart sailors and seasoned racers alike. You’ll spend roughly two hours there, soaking in the Baltic Sea views and getting comfortable with your blokart before heading out for the main ride. It’s a lovely introduction that’s more about fun and freedom than technical mastery.

From my reading of reviews, one of the highlights is how experienced and personable the guides are, especially Matas, a European champion in the sport. His tips and friendly approach help make the experience accessible and even more enjoyable. Expect a good dose of safety gear like helmets and sails of different sizes (3.0, 4.0, and 5.5 sq.m.), so you can tailor your ride to the wind conditions and your confidence level.

The Itinerary: What You Can Expect

The tour kicks off at the designated meeting spot, a parking lot at Pilies g. 4, Klaipeda. After a quick check-in, your guide will give you a brief safety and sailing lesson. The instruction is straightforward, making it easy for anyone aged 12 or older to participate. This is not a day for technical sailing skills but rather for pure, unadulterated fun.

Next, you’ll hop in a vehicle for a scenic transfer to Smiltyne Beach. Once there, you’re given the all-clear to start cruising along the Baltic Sea’s shoreline with your Blokart. Expect to reach speeds of up to 20 km/h, racing the wind with the seagulls overhead and the waves at your side. Many reviews highlight how Matas couples his knowledge of wind and sailing with humor and encouragement, making the experience both exciting and accessible.

Throughout the ride, your guide will follow behind, ready to lend tips and assistance. If you’re lucky with the wind, you can enjoy a flying lap or two, feeling the breeze and the thrill of control. The snacks, coffee, and tea included provide a nice break, letting you soak in the scenery and chat about the experience.

The Value for Money and Overall Experience

At $231.29 per person, the tour might seem a little steep at first glance. But considering what’s included—professional guides, safety equipment, ferry and park fees, snacks, pickup, and a sizable 20 km ride—it’s actually quite reasonable. It’s a well-rounded package that offers a lot of value for adventure seekers. Plus, the personal attention from guides who are champions in landsailing adds a level of expertise that’s hard to match elsewhere.

Most travelers find that this experience is worth every penny, especially because it’s suitable for a wide age range and fitness level, provided you’re comfortable with wind and sand. The small group size means you’re not lost in a crowd, and the flexible cancellation policy adds peace of mind.
