One-Day Kayaking on the Arda, Danube and Rhodope Reservoirs

One-day kayaking on the Arda, Danube and Rhodope reservoirs lets you trade an ordinary day for a paddle, open water and time outdoors. The programme also covers other reservoirs according to the provider's schedule. On calm water, you can enjoy both the freedom of movement and the stillness of the landscape around you.

Choose an Adventico voucher for your own adventure on the water or as a gift for someone close to you. With a paddle in hand and a smile on your face, the day becomes a journey that lets you see the shore from a different perspective and discover the excitement of kayaking.

Who can take part

This is a one-day group kayaking experience for one participant, labelled by the provider as “Group II”. You join other people whom you may not know beforehand. A minimum of 6 participants is required for the trip to go ahead.

No specialist physical training or swimming skills are needed. You receive detailed guidance before heading onto the water, and a guide accompanies the group along the route. Children aged 7 and over can take part. Parental consent is required for participants under 18.

How your kayaking day unfolds

After reserving a scheduled date, you agree on the exact meeting time and place. Once the group has gathered, you receive your equipment and attend a detailed briefing designed to give you the knowledge and confidence you need to paddle.

Getting into the kayak involves wading into water approximately knee-deep. Choose your clothing and footwear with this in mind: they need to be suitable for getting wet.

After around an hour or two of paddling, the group chooses a small island or bay for a stop. You go ashore to eat, rest and enjoy the surroundings without rushing straight on. There is more paddling after the break. Once everyone has enjoyed enough time on the water, the group returns to the starting point.

The day naturally alternates between activity and rest. Give it as a chance to experience the freedom of being outdoors, or choose it for yourself to discover the distinctive feeling of exploring by kayak.

Call the team a day or two before your reserved date, using the telephone number supplied with the reservation, to confirm the meeting point, time and other practical details. The source specifies a 48-hour advance booking requirement. The experience is weather-dependent.

The provider requires a printed fiscal receipt supplied with the purchase documents to be presented on arrival as a condition of participation. When using an Adventico voucher, confirm which document you need to bring. No fiscal receipt is attached to this description.

A gift voucher and the source provider's terms

Give someone a day of kayaking with an Adventico voucher. You are purchasing an experience, not automatic confirmation of a particular location, date or time; the reservation is arranged separately.

The source states that cancellation is free up to 48 hours before the reserved start time and lists the provider's own voucher as valid until 18 October 2027. These conditions do not automatically become Adventico's terms. Check the validity and rules that apply to your voucher when purchasing and booking.
