from €700
This Danube Delta tour is the ultimate adventure for nature lovers who will spend seven days in one of the most biodiverse areas in the world. Bird watching, nature observation, long boat rides, and traditional village discovery are the day-to-day activities of this tour.
The focus? The rich biodiversity and the unique local culture of this amazing wetland, the best-preserved delta of the continent, and a Biosphere Nature Reserve.
A labyrinth of reed, marshes, lakes, canals covered with water lilies, sand dunes, and willow forests, the Danube Delta was soon after his visit declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Over 300 bird species live here, and the delta is one of the best places to observe colonies of cormorants and pelicans who nest here in large numbers. In autumn and spring, countless birds stop in the Danube Delta during their migratory routes.
The itinerary includes different boat routes every day for you to discover as possible this nature site.
Dinner and breakfast are included in the price for your entire stay in the Danube Delta.
This tour can be modified according to your time and points of interest.
Arrival at Otopeni International Airport. If the flight arrives until noon, direct transfer to Murighiol for the boat ride to the Danube Delta. The boat transfer from Murighiol to Uzlina is the start of your Danube Delta tour as your local guide will take you across reed canals and lakes, on less transited routes.
You’ll find out interesting facts about the biodiversity of the region, the third-highest in the world, you’ll learn how the delta appeared and how it keeps changes and you’ll observe first-hand local life, whether its fishermen or some of the many bird species that live here.
Dinner will be served at the guest house.
Accommodation: 4 stars guest house in Uzlina
In case of an afternoon or evening arrival, the duration of the tour increases by one day, because the first night will be spent in Bucharest*.
*Accommodation: 3-star hotel in central Bucharest
Driving time: around 4 hours
Boat ride across several lakes and canals to Caraorman, a small and traditional village located in an isolated world, surrounded by waters.
The main attraction is the subtropical forest Caraorman where you’ll see some of the highest sandbanks in Romania and trees and plant species that are more common in a Mediterranean climate than in a temperate one. The biggest oak tree from the Danube Delta – four meters round and 400 years old – grows here.
Ukrainian style lunch in the village.
Bird watching on the boat ride back to the guest house where dinner will be served.
Accommodation: 4-star guest house in Uzlina

Another traditional village, this time Mila 23, where some of the most important sports champions of Romania were born. In fact, Mila 23, Caraorman, and Crisan gave 24 world champions.
This fishermen village, inhabited mainly by lipoveni, an ethnic group based on the descendant of Russian refugees that fled the Russian Empire during the 18th-century religious persecutions, is only reachable by water. The old fishing culture of the Danube Delta is still tangible in this small strip of land.
Lunch in the village and afternoon boat ride to Crisan. More bird watching on the two lakes and four canals crossed.
Dinner will be served at the guest house.
Accommodation: 3-star guest house in Crisan
Boat ride to the small city of Sulina, the most eastern point of Romania. Half of the day is spent visiting Sulina, including the Cosmopolitan Cemetery where people of 21 distinct nationalities are buried in three distinct sections: Christian, Muslim, and Jewish. Afternoon at the beach and boat ride in the evening to Crisan, just in time for dinner.
Mentioned for the first time in a document more than 1,000 years ago, Sulina was in the 14th century a Genovese port and almost 500 years later became a free port on the Danube River. The headquarters of the European Danube Commission in the 19th century, Sulina was back then one of the most ethnically diverse cities of the Old Continent.
This role brought commercial prosperity and development as well as guaranteed neutrality. At the end of the 19th century, the Greeks were the largest ethnic group, followed by Romanians, Russians, Armenians, Turks, Jews, Germans, Italians, Bulgarians, and many more small groups of nationalities from all over Europe. In total, 10 countries had diplomatic representatives in Sulina where English, French, and Greek were the main used languages.
The religious life was as varied as its inhabitants, four Orthodox churches: two Romanian, one Russian and one Armenian, a Jewish temple, an Anglican church, a Catholic church, a Protestant church, and two mosques.
Accommodation: 3-star guest house in Crisan
