Class trip? Head to Lake Balaton!
Why Siófok?
Organising a class trip is no small task – accommodation, meals, recreational activities, security, you name it. It’s something you do year after year, because as a teacher it’s important to you that your students have memories to last a lifetime. What would you say if it were easier?
Aranypart Camping & Apartments in Siófok provides everything in one place: comfortable accommodation along the shores of Lake Balaton, catering, sports fields, swimming pool, fire pits, social moments – so organisation is easy and class trips are hassle-free.
As well as relaxing on the waterfront, Siófok offers a wide range of leisure activities and even curriculum-related activities. Boating on Lake Balaton, the aquatic wildlife, the city’s cultural heritage, local parks, museums, and the zoo all offer exciting discoveries. The town is rightfully called the capital of Balaton, as it is an easily accessible destination where adventure, culture, and relaxation come together.
Accommodation options:
Campsite or lodge?
A school trip with a lodge is a tried-and-tested solution. We love these nostalgic locations because of their proximity to nature, even though they often come with lower comfort levels. In a lodge, you can expect tighter spaces and more crowded dormitories. The equipment may be incomplete, so preparing and transporting the necessary items, as well as organising meals, requires more effort. You will also need to take care of leisure activities and, in cooler weather, heating.
Comfortable yet close-to-nature accommodation
If you’re looking for a school trip where comfort meets the freedom of nature, Aranypart Camping & Apartments is an excellent choice. A classic camping experience by Lake Balaton, where you can relax in modern, heated, air-conditioned apartments. Students will surely appreciate this idea!
The apartments accommodate 6-8 people, allowing students to stay in smaller groups while still being close to each other. This type of accommodation is also advantageous for teachers and chaperones, as it provides better oversight and easier supervision.
Location by Lake Balaton
You can always watch the sunset or have a picnic on the beach. In addition, one of the most beautiful and largest open beaches of Siófok is just a stone’s throw away.

Boat trips – Discover Lake Balaton from a different perspective
From the middle of Lake Balaton, the landscape, the water and the city show a completely different face. The boats departing from Siófok Harbour offer not only beautiful panoramic views, but also real community moments. Such a programme is sure to be one of the most memorable experiences of your class trip!
Take scheduled boats and combine adventure with a meaningful excursion. Such a trip not only takes you to the waves of Lake Balaton, but also to other towns and villages, where sightseeing, cultural programmes and walks await the group.
If you prefer the cruise experience itself as the main attraction, then choose the cruise or programme boats. These cruises focus on the beauty of Lake Balaton and the atmosphere on board. One of the most popular programmes is the sunset cruise, where the special lights offer a great photo opportunity.

Social moments:
Fire, cooking and intimate conversations
Settle in at one of the campsite’s cosy fire pits and enjoy the evening as it should be: with a barbecue, spits and lots of good conversation. Everything is at hand in the campsite and resort village! At the reception you can rent a cauldron and buy firewood. The campfire brings generations together, magically making phones disappear for a while, everyone slows down and listens to each other.
Why is lighting a bonfire a must-do?
The bonfire is one of the highlights of the class trip. While dinner is being prepared in the pot, funny stories are told, big confessions about past pranks are made and sing-alongs can take place.

You can experience moments of freedom and relaxation that will become memories to last a lifetime.
The harmony is unfolding
