Duna-Dráva National Park: Private Naturalist Kayak & Wildlife Safari

Paddle silently into the primeval backwaters of Duna-Dráva National Park — one of the Danube's last wild floodplain forests — with a private naturalist guide tracking white-tailed eagles, otters, and black storks through the hidden oxbow lakes.

What to expect

The Duna-Dráva floodplain is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and one of Central Europe's richest riparian ecosystems. Your naturalist guide steers you through a mosaic of willows, black poplars, and still oxbow lakes — listening for kingfisher calls, watching herons stalk the shallows, and scanning the canopy for the wingspan of a white-tailed eagle. After paddling, a shoreside picnic with local cheeses and cold Villány rosé rounds out an utterly peaceful morning in an almost entirely undisturbed wilderness.
