Departure is at 6:00 a.m. from Constanța (CFR Train Station – Vaporaș) and at 7:00 a.m. from Medgidia, with an estimated return time around 9:30 p.m. (depending on traffic and route). The estimated duration is approximately 15 hours. Participation requires the original ID. Seats on the bus are assigned starting with the second row, strictly in the order in which the deposit was paid. Minors must carry a valid ID. Although it may be warm outside, the temperature inside the salt mine is constant (approximately 12°C), so appropriate clothing and comfortable, non-slip footwear are required for exploring the tunnels.
