Birdwatching Tour in Dobrogea and the Danube Delta 7d/6n - Private

Itinerary

Day 1: You’ll meet the guide in Tulcea, at the hotel, in the afternoon (we’ll send you all the details about the address by email) and have a short meeting to know each other and to inform you about the program for next day.

The most important for us, when we draw the route, is to know your birds target list. Please see Birds list of Dobrogea and the Danube Delta. 

Day 2: If you want, you can start very early (this is not a problem for the guide, we recommend early starts), you choose if you take the breakfast at the hotel (usually after 7:00) or have the breakfast to go and you’ll find a good place for picnic after you’ll see the first birds.

Head to Macin Mountains, today is FOREST BIRDS DAY. The target is on forest birds but, to the Mountains, you’ll search also for other kinds (meadow, rocks etc). You’ll have some sessions of walk into the forests or on the mountains (easy trails).

You’ll have the lunch packed and you’ll have a picnic into the shade of the forest. 

Day 3: The same as Day 2 about the breakfast. Today is the SHORE BIRDS DAY, you’ll head to South, to the sea shore.The lunch is also picnic.

Day 4: This is a different day, you’ll have half on dry land, half on water. The same about the breakfast (especially in mid summer). You’ll see a special area, with salty lakes and other nice places. At lunch time you’ll be back to the accommodation in Tulcea, take the lunch, take the luggage and the guide will take you to the boat for the transfer to Mila23, the next part of your program. From now, you’ll be only on the boat for trips.

The transfer takes about 3 – 4 hours, it’s a slow speed transfer and all the time you’ll be surrounded by birds. In the evening you’ll be in Mila23 Village, in the middle of the Danube Delta, here will be your accommodation for the next 3 nights. They’ll wait for you with a traditional fisherman meal.

Day 5: Breakfast rule is the same as before. Usually, the daily tour starts very early, untill 10:00 – 11:00 (depending by the season) and the breakfast is to go, you can take it on the boat. OR, the tour ca be up to breakfast time, come back to the accommodation for breakfast, then depart for a longer tour, to North Lakes. As you can imagine, today is the PELICANS AND WATER BIRDS DAY. You’ll have lunch in another village, at a nice facility.

Day 6: Today you’ll break the breakfast rule, eat at the pension at 7:00 then you’ll depart for a long tour, according to your target list.

This is a BIRDS DAY, all kind of birds will be in your way because you’ll cross marshlands, sandy canals, shallow lakes, waterlilies beds, small canals, large canals. You’ll be back at the guesthouse late in the evening.

Day 7: After a relaxed breakfast (8:30 am), this time without sunrise session, you’ll have the transfer back to Tulcea. Now, in the morning, you will have the best light for this route. Of course, if you have a flight to catch, you can have the transfer early in the morning.

* If you choose the transfer to the airport with us, we can make a route with several stops in interesting places where you’ll see several species of birds.
