About this activity

Paddle across Bulgaria's largest reservoir on this guided 3-hour kayaking adventure just outside Sofia, combining instruction, scenic exploration, and direct access to pristine mountain-fed waters. Hotel pickup and drop-off make this an hassle-free escape into nature for all skill levels.

Kayak on the Iskar Reservoir, Bulgaria’s largest reservoir, during this adventurous 3-hour experience from Sofia. Accompanied by a guide, receive instruction on the provided kayaking equipment and row as long as you feel comfortable. Explore the splendid natural scenery and local beaches. Hotel pickup and drop-off is included.

An experience not to forget out in the nature with a professional kayak instructor. The full equipment is provided and instructions are made on spot. If due to the weather Iskar reservoir is not possible to be used we switch the tour to Pancharevo lake which is equally good.
