Discover the untamed beauty of the Danube Delta with an exclusive private boat trip to Caraorman Village and Caraorman Forest. This immersive full-day tour offers a perfect blend of nature, local culture and adventure, taking you deep into one of the most fascinating areas of the Delta.
This is a private tour, meaning you’ll have a boat and a guide dedicated only to your party.
Your journey begins in Tulcea, where you’ll board your private boat and head towards the heart of the Delta. Within just 15 minutes, you’ll leave behind the urban landscape, entering a world of hidden channels, peaceful lakes, and an abundance of birdlife.
The entire journey to Caraorman takes about 4 hours, with plenty of time for birds observation, some photography and enjoying the serene landscapes.
Once you arrive in Caraorman, a safari-style vehicle (car or tractor with trailer) will take you into Caraorman Forest, one of the Delta’s most intriguing landscapes. This subtropical forest has grown on salty sand, creating a rare and diverse ecosystem unlike any other in the world.
The forest visit lasts approximately one hour.
After exploring the forest, return to Caraorman Village for an optional homemade lunch at a local hahol (Ukrainian) household. The meal is based on the day’s fresh-caught fish, prepared in traditional Delta-style recipes.
After lunch, enjoy a relaxed 20-minute walk through the sandy village streets, taking in the unique architecture and peaceful atmosphere before returning to your boat.
Your return route follows a slightly different path, offering new views and surprises along the way. As the Danube Delta is always changing, the way back is just as exciting, with new opportunities for wildlife spotting and scenic photography. Expect to arrive back in Tulcea after about 2 hours.
This private boat trip to Caraorman Forest offers an incredible mix of wild nature, cultural heritage, and relaxation. Whether you are a nature enthusiast, a photographer, or simply looking for an authentic adventure, this trip is a must-do for those seeking to experience the true spirit of the Danube Delta.
