The Great Danube Bend is by far the most interesting part of the Danube in Hungary. It is a stunning canyon-like part of the river, where it cuts through the mountains and is one of the most spectacular places in Hungary. It is still safe for beginners.

During the tour we teach you the HAKA, the tremendous war dance of the Maori warriors of New Zealand :)

Szentendrei-Danube is a side branch of the Danube, right after The Great Danube Bend. It is 200-250 meters wide, variable and winding. It the best location for canoeing tours nearby Budapest. The landscape is diverse; the green mountains and forests of Pilis stand right beside the river providing excellent view. It flows 3-6 km/h, has some nice islands and safe for everyone still quick enough to save energy from canoeing. THE TRIP ENDS AT BUDAPEST NORTH, THEREFORE WE DO NOT CROSS THE CITY, IT IS SAFER TIS WAY.

In 2006 we executed the First Hungarian Mekong Expedition
