About this experience
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.
