We sail the Danube in the most original way - in classic, hand-crafted wooden boats. And the best wines of the Wachau and a large chest of ice cream are included on every Ahoi Wachau tour.
Why Ahoi Wachau? Because the Wachau is more than just a World Heritage Site, a tourist destination, and a region of culinary delights. For us, it’s home, a haven of peace, and a place that—even after more than 30 years of exploring it—still fascinates us day after day. Life along the Danube—for us, it’s practically routine. But when routine feels like something special, it’s time to share that excitement with others. Gerald Geith & Michael Reichl are the minds behind Ahoi Wachau—and both are native Wachau residents. And anyone unfamiliar with this concept is strongly encouraged to join them on a journey through one of Austria’s last free-flowing sections of the Danube.
Because the wooden path is the right one.
These two Wachau locals navigate the Danube—a defining feature of the Wachau Valley—in its most authentic form: in classic, hand-crafted wooden Zillen. For a major Wachau tour, we recommend the Danube stretch from SPITZ to LOIBEN AND BACK; allow about 2.5 hours for this. Alternatively, you can board or disembark in almost any town in the Wachau.
The best wines of the Wachau
and a large chest of ice are included on every Ahoi Wachau tour. From a classic vineyard cruise with professional explanations of the wines and vineyards to a laid-back after-work gathering with spritzers, gin and tonics, and house beats, we tailor the experience to your needs. But one thing always stays the same… with no time pressure, we’ll drift downstream, carried by the mighty river and with our minds focused on the here and now.
