WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER ON THE TRIP
Below, two maps show the areas covered by our routes, depending on their duration
VADUL-LUI-VODA
Glide along the peaceful Dniester, where low green riverbanks meet wide floodplain meadows.
Downstream, admire the dramatic cliffs near the village of Malaești, which give way to dense riverside forests. Upstream, discover where the Ikel River flows in and a chain of small, charming islands. Keep your eyes open — herons, storks, and cormorants are common here, and if luck is on your side, you might even spot birds of prey swooping over the water.
Close to the departure point, enjoy a well-equipped river beach, walking trails, children’s play areas,
and cozy cafes and restaurants — everything you need for a perfect riverside outing

DUBOSSARY RESERVOIR
Here, the Dniester reaches its widest point in Moldova. In both directions, the river opens into breathtaking scenery — sheer cliffs rise straight from the water, carving dramatic meanders into the landscape. As you glide along, rock monasteries emerge from the stone, wind-shaped grottoes hide in the cliffs, and deep gorges reveal themselves between the rugged banks. Longer routes extend to Goian Bay and the Dubossary Hydroelectric Power Plant (HPP).
We depart from two locations near Molovata and Molovata Nouă. Just above the river, panoramic viewpoints offer sweeping vistas, while the nearby villages invite you to enjoy traditional cuisine in cozy local restaurants.

ACTIVE GETAWAY FOR GROUPS
Explore the river on two or three catamarans
Planning a corporate event, birthday, or a big get-together with friends?
We create memorable river experiences for groups of up to 21 guests. For larger parties, we can arrange staggered departures on two or three vessels, allowing us to welcome up to 42 participants in total.
Depending on the group size and event location, vessels may need to be relocated from another section of the river, which can temporarily suspend regular trips in that area. This affects the overall cost of the event. When reserving multiple vessels, a minimum duration of two to three hours usually applies.
