Day 1: Constanta city tour
You will notice here the Turkish and Greek influences and learn where they come from. The fisherman villages keep their traditions, some old houses, and a specific atmosphere that you will meet nowhere else. Enjoy a walk on their lanes and slow down a little to feel their natural rhythm.
In the evening, you will be transferred to Tulcea where you will spend your night.
Day 2: Explore Dobrogea
The highlight of your 4-day tip in Dobrogea will be the Danube Delta boat tour. This day trip to Danube Delta will offer you an unforgettable experience. You will be amazed by the rich flora and fauna that you will see here.
The Danube, the second largest river in Europe, forms a delta when it drains into the Black Sea. Danube Delta is a very well preserved area because man has a small impact. Your Danube Delta boat trip will take you on the small and large channels that form the web of this area. On the way, you can admire different plants and animals and enjoy the beauty of this unexplored water land.
In the evening come back to your hotel in Tulcea.
Day 3: Danube Delta boat tour
It is time to say goodbye to this wonderful region and come back from the Danube Delta to Bucharest. Your guide will transfer you to your hotel or directly to the airport if you want to. Danube Delta is another world, a world where water is still the king!

Day 4: Danube Delta to Bucharest
Mentions: If you need, you can add a transfer from the airport on day 1 or an extra night before the tour starts.

If you still have some questions about this region and you are not sure whether is it worth going from Bucharest to Danube Delta, maybe the following answers will help you make the best decision:
Yes, the Danube Delta is worth a visit and you shouldn’t miss it, especially if you love nature and wildlife.
The Danube delta is the only delta in the world declared entirely a Biosphere Reserve, being included in the UNESCO Universal Cultural and Natural Heritage List.
Sulina, the only city inside the delta, is located at the lowest altitude in Romania and is also the sunniest territory of our country.
The Danube Delta is a museum of biodiversity, where you can see trees and plants, molluscs, reptiles, mammals and lots of birds, many of which have been declared unique species and monuments of nature.
No, there are no crocodiles here, but there are other reptiles. One of them is the bad snake, known to be the longest snake in Europe, reaching up to 2 meters and it is a protected species throughout our continent.
The most popular activity here is a Danube Delta boat tour that will show you the main attractions of the area: the canals, the secluded beaches, the water villages and the wildlife. If you want to spend more days here, we can include in your itinerary one or 2 nights in a Danube delta resort.
The Danube Delta tourism has not yet affected the area, because there are several places where tourists do not have access. More than 50% of the biosphere reserve is intact, but motor speed boats affect its fauna and flora. That is it is better to explore it by normal boat.
If you land in Bucharest, the best way to travel from Bucharest to Danube Delta is by car. You can stop in Tulcea and try one of the Danube delta tours from Tulcea to explore the canals and get closer to the sea. And this is the most popular option.
Or you can go by car to the villages located next to Sfantu Gheorghe, one of the three branches of the Danube, Mahmudia, Murighiol or Dunavat. From here you can take boat trips on the Danube.

Florin was a great guide. He planned an extra stop for us as the museum we wanted to go to was closed. He also organized vegetarian food for us and when our tour on the Danube didnt happen because there were not enough people, they upgraded us for another, longer tour – no extra charge! He also has a great taste in music and can tell you a lot of interesting information about the country. We definitely recommend this company!
