Itinerary – Sample of 4d/3n Tour

Day 1: Arrival & Journey into the Heart of the Delta

Your adventure begins at Port Tulcea Aval, where you’ll meet your guide and step aboard the boat that will take you deep into the Danube Delta. As you glide through winding channels and past vast reed beds, keep your eyes open for pelicans, herons, and eagles soaring overhead. The two-hour journey is a breathtaking introduction to this wild paradise.

Upon arrival in Mila 23, you’ll check into your cozy guesthouse, a traditional retreat nestled in the heart of the Danube Delta. As evening falls, your hosts will welcome you with a delicious dinner, offering a taste of the authentic flavors of this unique region.

Day 2: Exploring the Lakes

Wake up to the serene sounds of nature and start your day with a hearty breakfast. When you’re ready, set out with your guide to explore the hidden lakes surrounding Mila 23. The exact route is flexible, chosen based on water levels and the best birdwatching spots of the day. Drift through quiet waterways where flocks of pelicans gather and kingfishers dart among the reeds.

Return to the guesthouse for a relaxing lunch before heading out again in the afternoon for another immersive boat trip. The light at this time of day is magical, casting golden reflections on the water and creating perfect conditions for photography and wildlife observation. As the day winds down, a delicious dinner awaits you back at your guesthouse.

Day 3: Letea Forest – A Journey Through Time

Before the sun rises, embark on an unforgettable early morning boat trip. This is when the Delta is at its most peaceful, with mist rising from the water and wildlife stirring in the cool dawn air.

After breakfast, set off on a boat journey to Letea Village, passing through some of the most spectacular landscapes in the Danube Delta. Upon arrival, a safari vehicle will take you into Letea Forest, Romania’s only subtropical forest, where you’ll walk among ancient oaks and perhaps spot the famous wild horses that roam the sandy dunes.

For lunch, enjoy an authentic meal at a local household, experiencing the unique flavors of traditional “hohol” cuisine. In the evening, return to Mila 23 via a scenic waterway, reflecting on the day’s adventures over a final dinner at your guesthouse.

Day 4: Farewell to the Delta

Savor one last breakfast in this peaceful setting before boarding the boat for your return journey to Tulcea. Your guide will take a different scenic route, ensuring you see new and beautiful areas of the Delta before disembarking where it all began.
