The only thing not to like about the Danube Delta is that you can't spend more time there. Also, make sure and wear some mosquito repellent. That is a small price to pay for the trip, though; it was the third similar marshy environment I have visited and by far the most impressive.We shopped around and got a small boat... More

What can one say? is this Europe's biggest and most beautiful conservation area? one can only hope that agricultural upscaling will not ruin this habitat. We saw 120 species of birds who depend on insects, plants and fish diversity. We stayed on a hotel boat in the Delta, which was owned by Ibis tours in Tulcea. Thousands of frogs sang... More

Just spent stunning two hours on small boat looking at nesting Cormorants, Egrets and what looked like spoonbills. Just hope we didn't disturb them! Didn't appreciate this special place was here but now I do think it needs looking after which probably means less human footprints and the rubbish we seem so fond of. Not sure I will be heading...

I spend here 5 great days, while at Anonimul Film Festival. I stayed in a tent, in the special place reserved. I also made a trip in the wild delta space (very good price) and and a meal at the local resort. All things were great and I will probably return here! I recommend this place with all my heart! More

Danube delta is definitely worth the visit. We were there for five nights and visited almost everywhere by boat - Sulina, Sfunthu Gheorghe, Gura Portita and a beautiful, out of the way beach, where there were almost no people, just miles and miles of shell sand. Everyday, there was a new adventure to look forward to, and one day, we... More

We spend 5 days in May in Danube Delta, which is about 6 hours by car from Bucharest. The roads are good, but we had to take a boat from the village of Murighiol, Tulcea to the location of our hotel near the little town of Sfantu Gheorghe (Saint George). The hotel was very quiet, clean, with good food and... More
