Birdwatching: the fascination of wild birds
The Danube Delta is internationally renowned for its biodiversity, and birdwatching is one of the most popular activities for visitors. Especially in spring and summer, when thousands of migratory birds come to nest in the Danube Delta, you will have the chance to spot rare species such as pelicans, herons, egrets and even the white-tailed eagle. With binoculars to hand and a local guide from the Green Village, you’ll be able to explore the protected areas and capture spectacular moments in the life of these birds.
Recommendation:
You can participate in organized birdwatching tours with experienced guides, who will give you fascinating details about the habitat and behavior of birds in the delta. The best time for birdwatching is early morning, when the birds are most active.
Boat trips: Explore the hidden canals of the Delta
A boat trip along the narrow, winding canals of the Delta is one of the most relaxing and exciting experiences. These trips allow you to discover the unspoiled beauty of the Delta, with lush vegetation that seems to enclose the canals in a green embrace. You can explore secluded spots where nature is at home, and have the chance to spot local wildlife such as otters and turtles.

Opt for a sunset walk to enjoy the incredible colors reflecting in the calm waters of the Delta. It’s a romantic and calming experience, ideal to end a day full of exploring.
