About This Tour

Spend a day in one of Romania’s most spectacular places and discover the beauty of the Danube Delta, a natural paradise listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The tour takes you to Tulcea, the city considered the gateway to the Danube Delta, where you can customize your experience by choosing one of the most popular activities in the area.

You can opt for a cruise along the Danube Delta’s waterways, where you’ll sail through reed beds, lakes, and natural channels, admiring the unique landscapes and impressive biodiversity of Europe’s best-preserved delta.

The experience can be rounded out with a traditional lunch, choosing between the famous Dobrujan seafood menu or an alternative chicken-based menu.
