What To Expect
Spend an unforgettable afternoon on the Danube river with sightseeing from a super stable raft boat. See the city from a special point of view, without the crowdedness of the most popular places.
We start our ride from the Northern section of Budapest and as we paddle down along the twist of the river, we pass by all the main attractions, which are perfectly visible from the river. You will see the magnificent Parliament, paddle under all the historical bridges, admire the ridges of the Buda hills as they rise above the city. At the end of our trip we arrive at an intimate bar on the river bank, surrounded by a natural reserve and calm waters. The bar works during the summer months.
This is a fully guided tour so I will tell stories about the sights and their role in the history of Budapest.
We provide safety vests and all equipment needed. The boat we use is made for white water adventures, so super stable and almost impossible to tip over.
Please note that starting point is different than the end point. .
