Explore the land of water – 4 days in the Danube Delta

Itinerary

Day 1: Meeting and boarding. Transfer and accommodation. Sunset trip

We will meet at the embarking point in Tulcea at around 15:30 and we’ll start our trip together. We’ll go to Mila 23 on one of the most beautiful routes in the Danube Delta – the transfer lasts about 2 hours. Our guide will lead you to the pontoon of the guesthouse and there you will be awaited by the house staff. After dinner we’ll go on a boat ride to enjoy the sunset.

Day 2: Trips on the lakes

We go on 2 trips of about 4 hours each, one in the morning and one in the evening. Depending on the Danube water level as well as the fresh information we have about where large groups of birds feed on the lakes near by Mila23 village, we will choose the best route every day.

If you would like to have the lunch, inform the guesthouse’s staff at breakfast in the morning. Also, for the lunch at Letea (for the next day), please inform the guide in the evening.

Day 3: The trip to Sunrise. Letea

The evening before the trip, the guide will inform you of the departure time for this trip. Depending on the month of your holiday, the sunrise time differs; the trip lasts about 2 hours.

We go on a trip to Letea Forest and Letea Village. The trip to Letea is a day full of contrasts, starting on the water, we pass through the desert area of the Letea Levee and reach the Letea Forest. With a route through the northern area of the Danube Delta, very close to the pelicans colony Rosca-Buhaiova, the largest colony of White Pelicans in the world, in the 2-2.5 hours until we reach to Letea village we will explore a wild, spectacular area. From Letea Village we take a safari car and go to Letea Forest. There are about 7 km from the village to the forest, we travel by car then on foot about 20-30 minutes, on the route approved by ARBDD. We see the points of great interest, we walk through the fine sand then we return to the village and we can have lunch at a local, authentic household, where the hosts cook simple and traditional food. After lunch we return to the boat and start to go back, over the lakes, towards Mila23. We arrive at the guesthouse around 19:00.

You should know that this is not a restaurant and no other dishes can be ordered. Lunch is always based on fish caught in the morning of that day and it is composed of first plate (a traditional fish soup), second plate (fish with potatoes in the oven) and the famous donuts of Letea, as a dessert. The hosts have a very simple service system and can only offer complete menus.

Day 4: Transfer to Tulcea

It is made, for the most part, on the same route as on arrival, with a higher speed than on trips. It is the last part of our program and we reserve, especially for this moment, some beautiful places that we want to show you on the way. We disembark at the same pontoon from which we left and we say goodbye.

If you are leaving Tulcea with public transport, we recommend you consider a booking after 1 o’clock P.M.
