THE DANUBE DELTA EXPERIENCE

The Overview
Discover Europe’s largest wetland and one of the most beautiful places on Earth on the wonderful
Danube Delta Experience. An area of sheer wild beauty surrounded by an abundance of nature, the
Danube Delta is a naturalists paradise with endless waterways inhabited by herons, pelicans and
cormorants, and narrow canals lined with floating reeds and sparkling water lilies.

After a night in Bucharest, the adventure begins with a transfer by boat from Tulcea into the depths of the
delta to the small fishing village of Crisan where you’ll feast on freshly caught fish surrounded by the
panoramic sounds of nature at a sunset barbeque. The next day is spent venturing to the Ukrainian
village of Letea by boat through the untouched landscape of the Old Danube Delta where guests are
welcomed for a traditional homemade lunch on the edge of the wild forest of Letea where herds of wild
horses rove the deserted plains pausing to drink from shallow pools of water.

Spend the next few days relaxing in the peace and quiet of sleepy Sfantu Gheroghe and enjoy a plethora
of nature and water-based activities including fishing, kayaking and birdwatching. Head down to the wild
sandy beach for some warm sunshine, explore the fishing village by foot or simply enjoy the grounds and
facilities of Green Village. The experience also includes a boat trip to the Sachalin Peninsula, one of the
most important spots for breeding and migration in the Delta where guests will witness flocks of white and
Dalmatian pelicans.

Wild, wonderful and utterly undiscovered.
