Veleka Valley boat tour

4.2/5
15 reviews

The Veleka valley is one of Bulgaria's true hidden gems. On this motorboat cruise along the river Veleka, you'll discover landscapes barely changed by humans. From wooded banks to golden natural beaches and endemic fauna, this is the great outdoors as Mother Nature intended it.

The fun kicks off as you hop onboard a motorboat and set sail on the Veleka towards the Black Sea. With an array of scenery to soak in along the way, and maybe even an encounter with amphibious animals, this unspoiled river is the perfect place to relax surrounded by nature.

The dense woodlands give way to the stunning beach of Sinemorets – one of the most beautiful in Bulgaria. It is formed from an 800-metre-long sandbar at the river's mouth, with cliffs either side. This coastal wilderness is hard to come by in this day and age – so make sure you have your cameras at the ready.

    Disappointing - The price should change based on the time of year as when the river is high, there is less wildlife to see. We had minimal wildlife and sis not see what we expected to see - jumping fish, heren, turtles (Saw 3 clumped together on the edge of the water). We were advised the guide could speak English but he could not and so we were unable to follow what was being said. The tour rep said she would be on the boat but she had to go to have her vehicle repaired.

    Man erfährt sehr viel über die Entstehung der Landschaft und über das Tierleben in dieser Region! Ein kleiner und dicht bewachsener Fluss wo man auch ein paar Schildkröten entdecken kann! Kann man nur empfehlen!

    The staff/captain didn't care about safety at the start. They were more concerned about rushing everyone on to the boat. I ended up falling into the boat and cutting my elbow. One of the reps asked me if I was ok and made the captain slow down but I wasn't offered any first aid etc as I was bleeding.
