Sailing at Lake Balaton

In the middle part of the lake having a cruise with a Scandinavian fast sailboat as a private trip, you will feel the most unique peace on a little landlocked sea - Lake Balaton is the biggest lake in Europe, 75 km wide and 3-4 meter deep. If the weather allows, we can throw an anchor and you can swim at the best view of the Lake. Since I play this show in the last 3 years everyone rated it to the best experience they had at visiting Lake Balaton. I wish to make your trip remindable in your whole life.

Balaton Wine Bus Full Day Hop On Hop Off Winery Tour

Everyone knows the Balaton beach — few see what's in the hills above it. The 46° Balaton Borbusz, Hungary's first hop-on hop-off wine bus, takes you there. Many partner estates are intimate, family-run vineyards not typically open to the public — your pass to meet winemakers directly, from big names to hidden small-production cellars. We handle the routes and timing so you can enjoy every glass without worrying about driving home; purchased wine travels with the bus and comes back to you at day's end. Hop off into hilltop villages and past church ruins nearly 1,000 years old, predating Balaton tourism itself. Two routes: "Régi Barátok" (Wed & Thu), through Balatonfüred, Aszófő, Pécsely, Balatonszőlős, Csopak, Lovas and Paloznak; and "Rejtett Kincsek" (Fri & Sat), through Balatonfüred, Aszófő, Pécsely, Vászoly, Mencshely, Óbudavár, Balatoncsicsó, Szentantalfa and Tagyon-hegy. Partners keep their own hours, so you'll get the confirmed open-winery list 24 hours before departure.
