3 Days Private Tour - The Danube Delta for Bird Watching Lovers from Bucharest
Bucharest, Romania
UNESCO included the Danube Delta in its World Heritage list as the only natural spot in Romania.
The Danube River flows east starting from Germany’s Black Forest. Right before reaching the Black Sea, it turns into Europe’s best preserved Delta. All the natural canals, lakes, rivers, reed beds, floating islands of vegetation, and forests make the Danube Delta the most fascinating wetland in Europe.
It’s the month of April when the Delta welcomes the over 300 species of migratory birds coming back to this unique piece of earth, lasting until early October.
For bird watching lovers all the grebes, divers, cormorants, pelicans, bitterns, herons, egrets, storks, glossy ibises, common spoonbills, American flamingos, swans, geese, wigeon, ducks, pochards, mergansers and many more make the Danube Delta an unforgettable experience.

1st and 2nd Day (B, L, D)
After a very early pick up from your hotel in Bucharest we'll drive to Tulcea, a 3 ½ hours trip.
In Tulcea we start your adventure in the Danube Delta by taking a boat trip to either Crisan or Mila 23, two traditional villages, where we'll set our base for 2 nights (all inclusive or half board menus based on fresh fish prepared by locals).
Even 2 days might seem not enough, we shall explore the surrounding lakes and canals where an abundance of the grebes, cormorants, pelicans, bitterns, egrets, storks, glossy ibises, common spoonbills, American flamingos, swans, wigeons, and pochards will offer you many splendid views.
Make sure to bring your best camera!
Another must do is either a sunrise or sunset or both! We can go deeper into the Delta reaching Caraorman Forest (Black Forest), a protected reservation with 500 years old white and black poplars, falcons, oak trees, all surrounded by sandbanks. Other rare species of plants, together with eagles, falcons, owls, wildcats or even wolves are part of this wildlife land of Romania.
3rd Day (B)
After breakfast, the boat will take us to Tulcea and then the drive back to Bucharest.
