Overview

We guarantee that you will see at least one wild brown bear with us!

Several bears show up almost every time and occasionally even foxes and other wild animals.

The guide speaks fluent English is born and raised in the Brasov area and has lots of knowledge about the brown bears.

Rain doesn't affect this experience in a negative way. Bears aren't bothered by it and neither the tourists as we go directly from car to hideout. (Minimal rain exposure)

This is a small group tour, max 8 persons in the car, but other tour operators could also bring tourists at the hide, especially during peak season.

Thanks for your time and hope to meet you soon!
