Guided by an expert English-speaking local, explore hidden corners, learn about conservation, and experience the Delta’s diverse ecosystems firsthand. In two days, immerse yourself in Europe’s largest wetland, embrace its wildlife, and fall in love with the Danube Delta.

Andrei P. is the provider of this trip

The provider speaks: English

I am local guide in the Danube Delta, Romania! I organize birdwatching and wildlife photography tours in this area, for small groups. Among other things, I love nature and photography. I discovered this passion a few years ago, after I settled in Mahmudia, Danube Delta, Romania. I have a few advantages to develop my wildlife photography passion: I know and love the Danube Delta, because I grew up here and I am on the water almost every day by boat.
