Lake Balaton: Paddle Board Tour of Tihany National Park

3.Lake Balaton: Paddle Board Tour of Tihany National Park

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 14 reviews · 2 hours · from $94

Paddle across Lake Balaton’s Tihany National Park on a guided SUP tour with equipment, nature views, free parking, and swim breaks.

“Akos and Andreas were super friendly. Contact around the event was really easy. My boyfriend and I had a great time as first time suppers, as the explanation was clear and it was a very small group. We ended up doing the sunset tour instead. You can take your phone in a waterproof case to take extra photos (although some pictures will be taken). We really recommend taking a big water bottle on the paddle board! We took too little and were very thirsty on the water, as it was really hot.”

We had lunch in a hidden local restaurant where the food was great, and we had time to rest and enjoy the nice weather. I really recommend the activity and Robert who was really nice from beginning to end.”
