Árpád fejedelem útja 125 - 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.

Fun & unique trip! - Really fun trip on the Danube. Our guide was great giving us information and asking questions and also took a bunch of photos as well which we really appreciated this.
We have gone Kayaking many times and white water rafting but the difference on this trip is that the river doesn't move too much so you have to do all the heavy lifting. And when we go kayaking, we kind of like to "float and chill" to give ourselves a break. But this tour, you're paddling the whole time and the river doesn't do you too many favors. So make sure you're prepared to paddle by eating before and being hydrated.
But overall it was a great and unique trip with really cool views of Budapest's biggest attractions. And though there's tons of dinner cruises and whatnot on the Danube, not many people can say they've gone rafting on the river! But glad to say that we can!

Skip the crowded Budapest river cruises for this unique, fun adventure down the Danube! - If you are looking for a fun adventure and a unique way to see Budapest, this tour is for you!
My wife and I had an amazing time paddling and floating down the Danube with Gyuri as our guide. Gyuri was fantastic with communication pre-arrival and shared a lot of great information during our paddle. He was easy to chat with and the paddle itself is not overly strenuous. It was fun to quietly glide and paddle along, with Gyuri explaining the history of Budapest and the various landmarks, from the unique vantage point of a raft on the Danube. We saw countless packed river cruises go by and it felt special to know we were doing something a bit more unique that we know we will remember!
5/5 recommend.

It was a very memorable experience. We will definitely do this again when we’re in Budapest. - We totally enjoyed every bit of it. Our guide, Gergo, was very experienced, friendly and he made it very exciting and relaxing for us. Also, the communication from the Gyuri prior to time, giving us direction and all that was reassuring.

Amazing Views of the City and Super Friendly Guide - Gyuri, our guide made the tour so enjoyable. The views were amazing. We were a group of 6 friends and had a lot of fun. You will get to see all the popular ancient spots from the river. Weather was also so pleasant. Gyuri took us to a really cool place for drinks as well! I think this was a very memorable moment for all of us during this trip! Absolutely recommend 🙂

Excellent exactly how I expected - It was beautiful and relaxing rafting at the Danube River and seeing all the beautiful views during the 2 hours trip. Gyuri was so helpful and helped us with all the changes making sure we do the rafting during sunny times avoiding the rainy time in the evenings

Rafting and Balaton - Five of us booked a rafting tour and a day later a tour to the Balaton ("Wine&Hike"). Rafting gives a new view of Budapest from the water and brings a lot of fun and, thanks to Gyuri, also interesting information about the city and its sights. The tour to Lake Balaton was fantastic. An easy hike in a beautiful landscape and then a jump into Lake Balaton. Then we went to the very beautiful winery Sabar. The owner Gabor took a lot of time for explanations and the wine was tasty, too ;-) A gorgeous sunset rounded off the day. Many thanks to Niki and Gyuri for the great organization and pleasant conversations. We can only warmly recommend the tours and you. Thanks and all the best!

Budapest views - We had a wonderful raft trip with Gyrorgy in Budapest. He adjusted the times to suit the weather and to give us a memorable day. He is very knowledgeable about this beautiful city and it was a great experience to see it from the water. As a couple of Canadian seniors we felt very safe in his capable hands. Highly recommend this adventure.

Danube river rafting adventure - My husband and my 18 year old son did the river rafting tour on the Danube. We had a fantastic time! Our tour guide, Gyuri, was extremely friendly and accommodating. He pointed out all the historic sights while we casually paddled down the River Danube. We lucked out with the beautiful weather. At the end of our trip our guide treated us with refreshments! Would highly recommend!!!!
Thanks for a fantastic evening!
