Self- supporting Water Tour on the Tisza

We offer for those who prefer nomadic life style. In the first part of the Tour you are allowed to sleep in ’comfortable’ tents as well as carry your own luggage in your own canoe(3 people suggested in a 4- seater canoe). In the second part you can stay in illicit campsite.

Food support on your own.

Duration: 7 days, 6 nights.

Total length: 152 r.km

A planned schedule:

Day 1:  After arriving at Vidám Delfin Kemping (Happy Dolphin Campsite), guided preparation to the tour, paddling instructions, social evening, etc.

Day 2: Water trip from Tiszabecs to Szatmárcseke, on the upper flow of the Tisza. From Tiszabecs on, pebbled shores are existing so the water is absolutely clear there. The first Hungarian sand shore can be found in Szatmárcseke. Daily reach: 24 r.km.

Day 3:  Water trip from Szatmárcseke to Tivadar, the Tiszanian ’Las Vegas’ which is the most eye- catching spot of the Tisza. In every 2 kilometre, every bend, spectacular sandy shores display tourists and bathers; therefore live music awaits people on the beach at night. Day distance: 15 r.km
