Top Tulcea Outdoor Activities

Had a great trip in the Denube Delta and managed to see the wind horses in Letea, quite unique experience!

I have enjoyed every moment in this trip. I recommend this experience to everyone.

Can't say enough good things about this trip. We'd been looking for a birding trip in the Delta and they were either fully booked or super expensive. And then we came upon Safca. Though not specifically birders per se, they worked with us to come up with a three day private slow-boat tour through various small canals and lakes where we could see lots of birds. As we arrived at Mila 23 we found some beautiful rollers (super exciting). The next AM we saw all kinds of birds on the way to Letea and back. Another night in Mila 23 and off again birding on the way back seeing more rollers, bee eaters, and kingfishers. The best surprise of all was the black woodpecker we found at the picnic lunch spot our captain new about. Safca was super accommodating, pleasant, fun, and took great care of us. Both father and son treated us well. Our captain was really alert to us seeing birds, stopping for birds, slowing down for us to take photos, etc. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip.

It was our first time in Romania, and we had two days to birdwatch in Dobruja and the Danube River Delta. We hoped to see some winter specialties, especially the Red-breasted Goose (we got great visuals both days), and (on the second day) to take a boat trip on the Delta. We unfortunately had extremely strong winds both days, which made the boat trip impossible. At first I was upset about this, but our guides were flexible, modified our itinerary to maximize our experience given the conditions, and we ended up with two very unique, fulfilling, and bird-filled days around Dobruja. It being our first time, we had a long list of target species. Our guides went above and beyond trying to find them for us, and we ended up seeing more than I expected! In addition, they took us for a few “surprise” birds (I won’t spoil it for you!), which was very exciting and unexpected. The guides are professionals in every regard. In addition to their unmatched knowledge of local birds, we learned so much about the history and culture of the region through our conversations over the two days. They were patient, kind, resourceful, and treated us and the natural world with the utmost respect. I highly recommend booking your trip through them, and I hope to come back someday to see the region and its birds in the spring or summer.

Florin was very personable and accommodating. He is a biologist by training and knew the plant species we encountered, not to mention an expert ornithologist. Plus, he’s just a great guy!

Today we had an absolutely wonderful walk in the Danube Delta — a corner of pure nature, vibrant and peaceful at the same time. The guides were very well trained, friendly and attentive, and the chosen route took us through spectacular places, where we admired rare birds, water lilies and willows reflecting in the calm waters.The boat was comfortable, everything was done safely and with respect for nature. We felt relaxed and connected to the environment at the same time. A real outdoor therapy! I recommend it from the bottom of my heart to everyone who wants to enjoy the authentic beauty of the Danube Delta.Thank you for a perfect day!

We spent 2 days in Tulcea and both days were tours with the Safcas. Our first tour was a 4 hour slow boat tour and our second tour was a 5 hour fast boat to Mila 23 which included lunch at a family run pensione. You will see so much including the beautiful surroundings and so many species of birds. The home cooked lunch was delicious. We highly recommend both tours!

We were a few days in Mila 23 for the fishing and also trips in the delta. Everything was perfectly organized, the guides were professional and friendly. The guesthouse - Alexandra and Alexandru- was comfortable and nice with local and very tasty food.

Excellent boat trip of the Delta. Our guide Florin was excellent and very knowledgeable. The Letea Forest was a bit of a disappointment, but otherwise excellent day trip.

My wife and I joined several friends for a trip to the Danube delta prior to a conference in Bucharest. It was coordinated by Ilie (Sorry if misspelled !) and one of his driver guides. It was an amazing photo tour of the incredible biodiversity of the delta - truly one of the most unique areas of the world. Our guides were not only familiar with the natural history of the flora and fauna of the delta but were also expert at photographing the migratory and resident birdlife. The lodging was arranged at a wonderful boutique hotel in Mila 23 that served delicious family style meals for our group. My only regret was that I did not bring my best camera for the trip and that we couldn't make our trip longer.

Mr Saftca went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. We had a great experience and felt very well taken care of.

I absolutely enjoyed my 3 private tours I booked this week! Zagreb is beautiful but I needed to see the main attractions! I was here 7 nights so plenty of time to explore. Monday I booked Plitvička jezera it was truly spectacular! If your in Croatia its a must see! Amazing waterfalls and a UNESCO site! Second tour we went to Samobor It’s a cute village with beautiful churches and this amazing cake everyone must try! But you only need a few hours here so half day is perfect!Third tour we had a full day in the istrian Peninsula. We went to pula and than to Rovinj! In between we stopped at a lavender farm and went for an olive oil tasting with included some local cheeses! It’s a very long day so get your rest before hand. I wish I had a few days here But now I know for next time!Dejan is the best guide ever!!! 3 AMAZING TOURS !! Thank so much!!! Guys you MUST BOOK A TOUR WITH THIS COMPANY! They make you feel like family!

One of the best ways to experience the Danube Delta! We spent an amazing day exploring Mila 23, the spectacular Letea Forest and the charming town of Sulina. The boat ride itself was a beautiful experience, with peaceful canals, wild nature and plenty of opportunities to see birds and other wildlife. One of the highlights was seeing the famous wild horses of Letea, followed by an unforgettable encounter with dolphins near Sulina. By the end of the day we felt like we had truly discovered the Delta. An experience we will remember for a long time!

Very good organised. Boat very confortable. Ecperienced guide. Perfect English. If you do a trip with this company you will not regret it.

Excellent agency, which organized us 3 days and 2 nights in the Danube Delta. Pick-up by a Guide at Check-out from Tulcea after a short trip from the agency manager in FRENCH. Excellent Guide (Marius) very friendly, listening to people and very competent. Great day trip to the delta. Thank you very much 😉
