A classic for relaxed tours and spontaneous outings
The Grabner Holiday 2 has been one of the most popular inflatable kayaks for decades, especially among caravan travellers, beginners and paddlers looking for a lightweight, compact boat for spontaneous trips. Its small packed size and low weight make the Holiday 2 an ideal companion for relaxed outings on rivers and lakes, whether on holiday or for a quick weekend escape.
Stable construction and smooth handling
The Holiday 2 impresses with excellent glide and calm, stable handling on the water. The high sidewalls provide effective protection from spray while also offering reassuring support, creating a secure feeling that is particularly appreciated by beginners. Robust plastic protection strips at the bow help prevent damage from contact with rocks or shorelines, contributing to the kayak’s long service life.
Comfortable seating position and flexible setup
Ergonomic carry handles at the bow and stern make handling on land easier and ensure comfortable transport to the water. Inside the kayak, the seating position can be adjusted flexibly, allowing both solo and tandem paddling up to a body height of around 180 cm. The reinforced backrest provides additional support and helps reduce upper-body strain while paddling.
Secure support and practical upgrade options
Solid foot braces offer secure footing and improve power transfer with each paddle stroke. The prepared rear fitting also allows for easy installation of an optional rudder system or a small electric motor. This makes the Holiday 2 highly adaptable and easy to tailor to different touring needs.
Tip: When equipped with a suitable rudder system, the Holiday 2 becomes even more enjoyable to paddle. The rudder compensates effortlessly for wind, current and small waves, resulting in noticeably more relaxed and precise tracking.

The Grabner Holiday 2 comes standard with two seats and two foot braces, allowing you to use the kayak comfortably right away. The package also includes a repair kit for minor damage, a valve wrench, and an overpressure adapter, providing everything you need for safe operation and basic maintenance.
In addition to essential gear such as a paddle, air pump, and personal flotation device, we recommend equipping the Grabner Holiday 2 with extra D-rings. These allow you to securely attach items like a kayak trolley or other equipment, making transport and organization during your trips much easier.
The Holiday 2 truly reaches its full potential when used with a rudder system. It aids precise maneuvering, improves straight-line tracking, and makes the kayak noticeably more comfortable to paddle on longer journeys or in windy conditions.
The Grabner Holiday 2 can be prepared for use in just a few minutes with a suitable air pump. The kayak features three separate air chambers – one floor chamber and two side chambers – each inflated to 0.3 bar. Its straightforward setup allows you to get on the water quickly, making it easy to start paddling without any hassle.
The Grabner Holiday 2 is designed for one or two paddlers and, thanks to its wide and comfortable seating, provides ample space even for taller or heavier individuals. When paddled solo, the generous interior also offers plenty of storage for gear on multi-day trips. This makes the Holiday 2 a versatile choice, equally suited for relaxed day outings and longer adventures.
The Grabner Holiday 2 is suitable for whitewater up to Class II, making it well suited for gently flowing rivers and easy rapids. Its stable construction ensures the kayak remains reliable and comfortable to paddle, even in mild whitewater sections.
The Grabner Holiday 2 is made from 1100 dtex EPDM rubber, an extremely durable material known for its high abrasion resistance, UV stability, and long-lasting performance. Its vulcanized construction ensures the kayak remains shape-stable and reliably airtight even after many years of use, whether on rivers, lakes, or during frequent beach landings.
The sturdy sidewalls and reinforced floor structure easily withstand stresses, making the Holiday 2 one of the most durable touring kayaks in the Grabner range. With spare parts readily available, the kayak can be maintained easily and kept in excellent condition for many years of use.
Weighing just 17 kg, the Grabner Holiday 2 is one of the lighter touring kayaks in Grabner’s range and can be comfortably carried by a single person. The flexible EPDM material allows for tight folding, so the kayak takes up surprisingly little space in its transport bag.
The kayak dries quickly and can be packed away immediately after a trip. Once folded, it fits easily into the boot of many cars, making it an excellent choice for holidays, weekend excursions, or anyone looking for a comfortable touring kayak that is highly transport-friendly.
