Spacious touring kayak for families and groups of friends
The Grabner Holiday 3 is a versatile inflatable touring kayak that comfortably accommodates two to three adults or parents paddling with children. Its long hull of around five metres ensures stable tracking and makes it easy to keep the kayak on course, even for less experienced paddlers. This makes the Holiday 3 an excellent choice for relaxed river tours, leisurely lake outings or extended weekend trips.
Comfortable seating position and flexible use
The generous interior width provides ample space for two larger paddlers or for solo use with plenty of gear. With the optional third seat, the kayak can easily be paddled by three people. The reinforced backrest reduces upper-body strain, while the raised padding helps maintain a pleasantly dry seating position even when spray enters the cockpit – a clear advantage on longer days on the water.
Stable construction and smooth handling
Foot braces provide secure support and improve power transfer, making paddling both more efficient and more comfortable. The long hull promotes reliable straight-line tracking, allowing the Holiday 3 to remain stable and predictable across a wide range of water conditions.
Protection, features and smart upgrade options
A reinforced bow protection strip helps shield the kayak from damage caused by contact with rocks or shorelines, increasing overall durability. The integrated rear fitting also allows for the installation of a rudder system or a small electric motor – ideal for longer distances or changing touring conditions.
Tip: When equipped with a suitable rudder system, the Holiday 3 becomes noticeably more enjoyable to paddle. The rudder compensates effortlessly for current, wind and small waves, resulting in relaxed and accurate tracking.

The Grabner Holiday 3 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, ensuring you are well equipped for safe use and capable of handling basic maintenance on your own.
In addition to essential gear like a paddle, air pump, and personal flotation device, we recommend fitting the Grabner Holiday 3 with extra D-rings. These allow you to securely attach items such as a kayak trolley or additional equipment, which is especially useful when carrying gear over longer distances or transporting supplies on tours.
The Holiday 3 performs best when paired with a rudder system. It noticeably eases steering, improves straight-line tracking, and makes the longer kayak easier to handle, providing precise and comfortable control even in windy conditions or light currents.
Getting the Grabner Holiday 3 ready for the water is quick and easy with a suitable air pump. Begin by inflating the three separate air chambers – the floor chamber and the two side chambers – each to 0.3 bar, which gives the kayak its stable shape and comfortable buoyancy. The straightforward setup makes the Holiday 3 a hassle-free companion for all kinds of touring adventures.
The Grabner Holiday 3 can accommodate up to three paddlers and stands out for its generous, comfortable interior width. Even taller or heavier individuals will find plenty of space. When paddled by two people, there is still ample room for gear, making multi-day trips easily achievable.
The Grabner Holiday 3 is designed for whitewater up to Class II, making it well suited for gently flowing rivers and mild rapids. Its sturdy construction ensures the kayak remains safe and controllable, providing a reliable and confident ride even in easy whitewater sections.
The Grabner Holiday 3 is crafted from high-quality 1100 dtex EPDM rubber, an extremely durable material that is highly resistant to abrasion, UV exposure, and aging. Its vulcanized construction ensures the long hull remains shape-stable and reliably airtight, even under intensive use.
The kayak is designed to stay stable under heavy loads—whether carrying three paddlers or plenty of gear—while evenly distributing stress across the structure. Combined with its long-lasting materials and the availability of spare parts, the Holiday 3 is a touring kayak built to deliver consistent performance for many years.
Despite its impressive 500 cm length, the Grabner Holiday 3 folds down surprisingly compactly. The flexible EPDM material allows the kayak to be packed tightly, taking up less space in its transport bag than its length might suggest. Weighing 21.5 kg, it remains manageable and can be easily carried by two people.
Thanks to the quick-drying material, the Holiday 3 can be packed away immediately after a trip. Once folded, it fits into many larger cars or the storage area of a camper van—making it an ideal choice for extended journeys and tours with multiple launch locations.
