Adventure

Freediving & snorkeling

Gegharkunik

In summer, Sevan's clear water is calm and visible enough for freediving and snorkeling, a 90-minute session run through the same dive center that operates the lake's scuba trips. Available June through September from 15,000 AMD, it's a lower-commitment alternative for visitors who want to see beneath the surface without full scuba gear.

Adventure

Scuba diving in Lake Sevan

Gegharkunik

Sevan's altitude of nearly 1,900 meters makes this one of the more unusual scuba diving locations available, run through Armenia's first PADI-certified dive center. A 2-hour session costs from 25,000 AMD and runs June through September, when the water is warm enough for comfortable diving.

Adventure

Sailing / yacht trip

Gegharkunik

A 90-minute sailing or yacht trip crosses the high-altitude waters of Sevan under sail rather than motor power, a quieter and more scenic way to take in the lake's scale. Running June through September from 15,000 AMD, it's a good choice for visitors wanting a relaxed, sit-back experience rather than an active water sport.

Adventure

Kayaking on Lake Sevan

Gegharkunik

A 2-hour kayaking session with Armenia's first dedicated kayaking outfit covers a good stretch of Sevan's open water, run by operators experienced with the lake's currents and weather. Available June through September from 8,000 AMD, it suits paddlers wanting more distance and time on the water than a short SUP session.

Adventure

Stand-up paddleboarding (SUP)

Gegharkunik

Sevan's calm surface water makes for easy stand-up paddleboarding, a 90-minute session that suits complete beginners as well as those wanting a longer paddle along the shoreline. Running June through September from 7,000 AMD, it's one of the gentler ways to get out on Armenia's largest lake.

Adventure

Waterskiing at Shorzha

Gegharkunik

At Shorzha beach, a 30-minute waterskiing session tows you across Sevan's open water behind a motorboat, a short but high-energy way to experience the lake. Available July through September from 12,000 AMD, it pairs naturally with the windsurfing on offer at the same stretch of shore.

Adventure

Windsurfing at Shorzha beach

Gegharkunik

Shorzha beach, on Sevan's northeast shore, catches a steadier wind than much of the rest of the lake, making it the local spot for windsurfing. A 90-minute session costs from 10,000 AMD and runs June through September, suiting both first-timers working with an instructor and more experienced riders looking for open water.

Adventure

Banana boat ride

Gegharkunik

A group of riders straddles an inflatable banana boat towed at speed behind a motorboat, bouncing across Sevan's waves for a lighthearted 20 minutes. Running July through September from 5,000 AMD, it's a fun, low-skill group activity well suited to families and friends traveling together.
