You step off the speedboat into a cathedral of reeds; the water itself seems to rearrange to make a narrow channel for your craft.

Moderate — able to board small boats, walk 1–3 miles on uneven sandy or root-strewn trails, and tolerate periods of sitting on boat transfers.
Most tours include private ground transfer from Bucharest to Tulcea (about 3–4 hours) where you board boats for the Delta; this trip is door-to-boat with pickups arranged by the operator.
Yes with reservations — it's private and paceable, but guests should be comfortable with boat travel and modest walking; inform the operator of any mobility or health concerns.
The Delta hosts large populations of pelicans and cormorants and Letea Forest is known for semi-wild horses; sightings are common but not guaranteed, depending on season and exact routing.
This itinerary typically includes a traditional fish lunch and speed-boat transfers; confirm specifics at booking for overnight arrangements and any special dietary needs.
The delta has been recorded since antiquity (Herodotus) and later hosted international river commissions; Sulina was once a free port with a cosmopolitan mix of sailors and traders.
Large swaths of the Danube Delta are a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve; visitors should stick to marked approaches, avoid disturbing nesting birds, and minimize plastic and food waste.
