The Route & Stops
Our birding trip begins in Tulcea, from our pontoon at Port Aval, and heads toward the charming Mila 23 village. Along the way, we’ll stop at some of the most fertile birding spots, from tranquil lakes to the vast, dry expanses of the Delta, where we’ll scan for birds with a field scope, to show you the rich fauna of this place. At midday, you’ll’ll take a break in Mila 23 to enjoy a delicious, locally inspired lunch (optional), a perfect way to recharge before continuing our birdwatching adventure.
