Wetland Discovery Tour at Ecopark Vaya with Foros Bay Cruise

Nature comes into focus when you immerse yourself in one of Bulgaria's most important wetland ecosystems. Bring wildlife closer with a great mix of activities including bird watching, a horse ride, lake fishing, and ‘meet the beekeeper'. After lunch, the fun continues when you learn the secrets of traditional Bulgarian folk dancing and take a boat trip in Foros Bay. Elena, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘The lake and marshes are of huge importance in terms of European avian biodiversity. It's been a RAMSAR site since 1984.' On the shores of the largest natural lake in Bulgaria, just west of Bourgas, the Ecopark Vaya is a perfect place to unwind. It's renowned for its birdlife, with 270 species recorded here. Imagine being here at the peak of migration season when there are around 100,000 individual birds present. Birdwatching is one of the main activities on the itinerary, plus you'll enjoy fishing and a short horse ride before discovering the beekeeper's role, then sampling some local honey.Cast your inhibitions aside for a fun dance workshop where you'll learn some moves from the traditional horo folk dancing. You'll definitely be ready for some lunch after all that action, so tuck into the buffet of hot and cold dishes, all freshly made with local produce. This tour has been specially created to highlight the natural beauty around the Bourgas lakes. Finish your day with a boat trip in Foros Bay, and experience the tranquil scenery and wildlife from the water.
