A small-group speedboat day trip from Bucharest to Tulcea and the Danube Delta, with wildlife viewing, guided canal rides, and plenty of photos.
“Nu mia placut nimic transportul groaznic ghidul nu a vorbit nimic noroc cu soferul de pe barca a explicat nu se merita 8 ore drumul si trei ore cu barca nu recomand”
Private Danube Delta day trip from Bucharest with hotel pickup, a wildlife-focused boat cruise, and traditional lunch along the way.
“Our guide and driver, Bogdan, was very friendly and helpful - and keen to ensure we had a good day...which we did! It was a brilliant trip and we were very excited to explore the Danube Delta. The drive there was long (as we expected) but Bogdan was an excellent driver and we had a few stops. Once we arrived, the boat was extremely plush and it was a real treat to be the only people on it. We were a little disappointed not to see more birdlife - perhaps it was the time of year? Some guidance on what you're likely to see in the trip listing might be…”
2 days in Romania’s Danube Delta from Bucharest with UNESCO wetlands, birdwatching boat time, Tulcea, and Constanta in a small group.
“We are two friends who love birdwatching in nature. We traveled to Romania especially to see the birds in the Danube Delta and took a two-day tour. On the first day, we managed to do a two-hour sunset tour, and the next day we joined a five-hour tour. It was wonderful. Our guide was excellent, as were the guides on the Delta tours. Highly recommended.”
Private 2-day tour from Bucharest combining Constanta’s sights with a 6-hour Danube Delta boat trip and Tulcea hotel stay.
“This tour was a wonderful experience! The guide Dan Nica kindly gave me many interesting information about the places we visited and was very patient with my taking photographs. Since I already visited Constanța last year, he showed me the attractions that I did not see in my first visit: the beach with its interesting pier, etnographic museum and the remains of the Greek polis Histria. The next day we visited the Danube Delta, which is full of various birds (ibises, egrets, gulls, herons, pelicans...) and has interesting vegetation (willows, trees, yellow and white water lilies). All the people we met in the Delta (in Mila 23 Village) are very…”
Danube Delta day trip from Bucharest with a 4–5 hour boat ride, UNESCO wildlife spotting, and round-trip transport in one long day.
“it's worth it because seeing pelicans is amazing but you have to know that there is 3h30 car go and such return. our guide was on his phone or sleeping on the boat so I might as well say that I saw a blongios and a kingfisher by my observation and not thanks to him.Auto-translated”

Two days in Romania’s Danube Delta and Dobrogea: Murighiol boat ride, Tulcea museum, then Constanta by the Black Sea.

Private A/C transfer between Bucharest and Giurgiu or Oltenița docks, with hotel pickup, fuel and road taxes included, and driver know-how.
“Toni emailed me to let me know when & where we would be picked up. He was prompt & called before coming to let me know he was on his way. He knew exactly where to drop us off at the ship!”
