Mongolia Canoeing
Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia · 11 tours
River-tour specialist founded about 20 years ago (per the about page) by Ernst von Waldenfels, a German journalist who lives in Ulaanbaatar. The site calls it the only Mongolian tour company specialising in river trips. It runs guided canoe tours on the Tuul, Orkhon, Chuluut, Eg/Selenge and Khovd rivers, from one-day Tuul trips to a 27-day Khovsgol-to-Lake-Baikal trip. It also rents boats (from $55 for the first day) and cars with drivers. 11 priced products were recorded on 2026-09-23. A German-language twin site runs at kanutouren-mongolei.de. Some day counts differ between the listing and the product pages: the Orkhon Magic Tour is listed as 11 days but its page says 10, and the 12-day Cradle of Nomad Civilisation's day list ends on day 11.
