Begin your adventure in Tulcea and set out on a guided boat journey deep into the heart of the Danube Delta, one of Europe’s most biodiverse regions. Led by knowledgeable local guides, you’ll glide through peaceful waterways, surrounded by lush vegetation and vibrant birdlife. This day trip is designed for explorers who want to experience the Delta’s wild beauty and learn about its unique ecosystem and traditions.
Your itinerary starts at the Tulcea port, where you’ll board a modern, comfortable boat. The route takes you along the scenic Gârla Sontea, through Canal 36 and Gârla Sireasa, with a pause at the entrance to Nebunu and Băclăneștii Mari lakes. Continue on Canal Olguța and Dunărea Veche, reaching the traditional village of Mila 23. Here, you’ll have time to explore the village, discover its rich fishing heritage, and observe daily life in this remote community. The journey also includes a visit to the only monastery in the Delta, accessible via Canal Stipoc, and passes through a chain of picturesque lakes—Trei Iezere, Lacul cu Ciulini, and Babina—each offering unique opportunities for birdwatching and photography.
Optionally, enjoy a fisherman’s lunch at a local guesthouse, sampling dishes such as fresh fish soup and fried carp (not included in the price). The return trip follows a different route, allowing you to see even more of the Delta’s hidden corners before arriving back in Tulcea. The tour concludes at the original meeting point, leaving you perfectly placed to continue exploring the city or relax after your day on the water.
