Leave the bustle of Budapest behind and immerse yourself in the natural beauty and refreshing waters of Lake Balaton. Your adventure begins at Balatonföldvár railway station, where your guide will meet you. We start with a stunning panorama on the southern shore before crossing the lake by ferry to the iconic Tihany Peninsula.

Hike to the Best Viewpoint
Explore Tihany’s unique volcanic landscape on a 6 km guided hike. We’ll trek up to the Őrtorony lookout, widely considered the best viewpoint of Lake Balaton. From here, you’ll enjoy a breathtaking, 360-degree vista over the turquoise water, the peninsula's hidden inner lakes, and the rolling hills of the northern shore.

Nature & Lavender Experience
After the hike, we’ll visit the Lavender House Visitor Centre, operated by the Balaton-uplands National Park. This eco-friendly stop is the perfect place to immerse yourself in the peninsula's botanical heritage. You can explore their interactive exhibits, stroll through the peaceful lakeside park, or browse authentic local lavender products. Don't miss the chance to try the famous lavender ice cream, a local summer speciality!

Heritage & Leisure
Following the lavender experience, you’ll have the chance to stroll through the charming cobblestone streets of the old village leading to the historic Tihany Abbey. You will have one hour of free time here to soak in the atmosphere, take photos at the panoramic promenade, or enjoy a traditional Hungarian snack (not included).

Summer Beach Finale
After exploring Tihany, we return to the southern shore for the perfect summer finale. Your guide will lead you to a beautiful beach in Balatonföldvár, where the guided portion of the tour concludes. It’s the ideal spot to cool off, swim, and relax after the morning’s hike. Please note that the beach entrance fee is approximately 1,700 HUF per person.

Easy Return to Budapest
Balatonföldvár railway station is just a short 800-meter walk away from the beach, where you can catch your train back to Budapest.
