What is upemis.lt
upemis.lt is a kayak rental marketplace in Lithuania. How the platform works for a traveller looking for a route and wanting to book a kayak.
On this page
upemis.lt connects kayak rental operators with travellers. The catalogue has rivers, routes and operator pages. You can pay for a reservation right here: the money goes through NeoPay, and the operator receives it after the trip.
This manual is for tourists. If you run a rental business, open the operator manual.
What is in the catalogue
The catalogue has three layers:
| Layer | What it is | Where to start |
|---|---|---|
| River | The waterway, a map and this season’s routes | /upes |
| Route | A specific stretch with a start, a finish, a duration and a price | /marsrutai |
| Operator | Whoever rents out that stretch | /nuomotojai |
Every route belongs to a single operator. The price, the kayaks available and the meeting point are that operator’s own details, not a platform average.
How booking works
In short: you pick a route and a date, add kayaks and pay. Until the payment is confirmed the place is held, but it is not yet yours.

What the platform costs the traveller
The traveller pays the price set by the operator. upemis.lt adds no extra fee for travellers. Catalogue bookings carry a 10% marketplace fee for the operator, deducted from the amount transferred to them; not every booking has a fee. More on the operator prices page.
