About this experience

! This adventure-packed tour is perfect for nature lovers exploring the serene lakes and picturesque trails of the Carpathian Mountains.

​

We'll start the day with an early morning pick-up from your hotel and head straight to the first destination - a pristine lake nestled among the mountains. Here, you'll gear up and hop onto your kayak for a scenic paddle around the tranquil waters. To ensure your safety and comfort during the kayak portion of the tour, we will have a professional kayak instructor and swimmer accompanying the group.

Our instructor is highly experienced and will provide a brief orientation on kayaking techniques, safety precautions, and equipment use before we set out on the water.

The view from the kayak is breathtaking, with the surrounding mountains reflected on the calm surface of the lake. You'll also have the opportunity to spot some of the local wildlife, including birds, fish, and maybe even deer or foxes along the shoreline.

​

Rest assured that your well-being is our top priority, and we take every precaution to ensure that you have a safe and enjoyable experience on the water. With the expertise of our kayak instructor and swimmer, you can feel confident and secure as you explore the stunning lakes of the Carpathians.
