Danube Delta Day Tour from Bucharest

You start the day with a trip from Bucharest towards the Danube Delta. The Danube Delta is a wildlife enthusiast’s (especially a bird watcher’s) paradise for wildlife enthusiasts. The Danube Delta is a vital center for biodiversity in Europe, and a natural genetic bank with great value for the global natural heritage due to the impressive range of habitats and species.

The Danube River flows 1,788 miles from its springs in Germany’s Black Forest to the Black Sea. Just before reaching the sea it forms the second largest and best preserved of Europe's deltas: 2,200 square miles of rivers, canals, marshes, tree-fringed lakes and reed islands.

Once you arrive, you will embark on a journey by boat along one of Danube’s canals. Some 300 species of birds make Danube’s Delta their home, including cormorants, white tailed eagles and glossy ibises. The bird watching season lasts from early spring to late summer. Birds are not the only inhabitants of the Delta. There is also a rich community of fish and animals, from wildcats, foxes and wolves, to even an occasional boar or deer. In the evening you will return to Bucharest.
