Romania · DANUBE DELTA TOURS
The delta only works from a boat and the good channels are the narrow ones. These 6 cover the day runs from Tulcea, the private boats into the reed beds and the birdwatching trips, priced and clear about how long you are on the water.
Leave Bucharest at 6:30 AM for Tulcea County, then spend 4 to 5 hours by boat in the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve. An English-speaking guide, possibly Ali or Alin, leads a group of up to seven through reed islands, lakes, forests, and bird habitat.
“Incredible day trip and Ali was a great guide! Would recommend”
Leave Bucharest at 7:30 am in a private air-conditioned car with an English-speaking guide. Visit Tulcea and the Danube Delta, cruise by private boat, and eat a traditional fish lunch. Guides such as Radu, Bogdan, Vlad, Cristian, and Alin have received strong praise, but boat and lunch costs are extra.
“NOT memorable: the fact that the guide Alin just cancelled my tour on short notice without my confirmation - by contrary, I had told him I was really looking forward to it. It was quite some trouble for me to book a new, similar tour on 1,5 days notice, when I already was very busy (having plans for each moment of my vacation). So, Viator - such cancellations should NOT be possible to happen, it was NOT a positive experience! Memorable: the fact that Viator helped me book a similar tour quickly when I called them, and the tour was very successful! Our driver Vlad and our guide Cristian were…”
Set out from Tulcea on a private Danube Delta birdwatching trip for up to six people. Your local captain and guide take you through narrow channels where pygmy cormorants, egrets, pelicans, and other wetland birds gather. The boat, fuel, and guiding are included, while lunch and parking cost extra.
“This was an excellent day all-around! Left at 6:00, saw wonderful assortment of bird species and the boat comfort and viewing were perfect. Our guide and captain were knowledgeable, patient and flexible to our desires. A wonderful lunch iRead more”
Join Ondas D’Angelo for a 6 to 7 hour boat trip from Murighiol through quiet delta channels, lily-covered lakes, and pelican habitat. Add a Caraorman Forest safari and homemade fish lunch for extra cost. The route suits nature lovers who can manage boat travel and some walking.
“Visiting the Danube Delta is worthwhile. The food was traditional, fish, and it was tasty. The wine was very good.”
Join a small-group boat tour from Murighiol into the Danube Delta’s Water Lily Reserve. An English- or Romanian-speaking local guide leads you past white and yellow lilies, points out pelicans, herons, cormorants, and explains the Delta’s rare wildlife and fishing traditions.
“Sehr schöne Tour durch Flora und Fauna, absolut zu empfehlen. Tour findet auch statt wenn man als eimziger gebucht hat. Gerne wieder”
You’ll cruise from Tulcea through the Danube Delta to Letea, with a private guide such as Florin, Victor, Iulian, or Cristi. Expect birdlife, narrow channels, a vehicle visit to Letea Forest, wild horses, old oak trees, and an optional local fish lunch.
“Florin was very personable and accommodating. He is a biologist by training and knew the plant species we encountered, not to mention an expert ornithologist. Plus, he’s just a great guy!”
A castle, a mountain, something underground, or a long lunch.
