We will also use small boats, which are very good for accessing the more remote areas and narrow channels. A typical day on the boat looks like: waking up in the middle of nature on the floating hotel, breakfast on the boat's restaurant, before noon travel by small boats to an excellent birding place, lots of birdwatching (packed lunch in the field) and travel back to the floating hotel. Relaxing afternoon on the floating hotel's sun proof terrace, enjoying the sunset on the Danube and of course the birdlife of the Danube Delta.
On the floating hotel the accommodation is in 10 twin bed cabins sharing 5 bathrooms with full time hot and cold water. There is a restaurant and bar together with a sun proof terrace which offers spectacular views of the Danube Delta's unique wildlife and very comfortable birdwatching. Air condition and heating system is available in the restaurant and in the cabins as well. The boat's personnel will serve you along your trip and the qualified chef prepares the most delicious local specialties. Alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages are available from the bar.
Target species for the three day main Delta trip are: Pygmy Cormorant, White and Dalmatian Pelicans, Night Heron, Purple Heron, Squacco Heron, Little Bittern, Glossy Ibis, Spoonbill, Ferruginous Duck, Stone Curlew, Red-footed Falcon, Avocet, Black-winged Stilt, Collared Pratincole, Mediterranean Gull, Little Gull, Slender-billed Gull, Caspian, Little, Gull-billed, Wiskered and White-winged Black Terns, Roller, Bee-eater, Great Reed Warbler, Bearded Tits, Penduline Tit,  and even if it may sound strange Black and Grey headed Woodpeckers.
8-th day, travel from Tulcea to Zarnesti
A minibus will transfer us toward the Carpathian Mountains. We will stop at Balta Alba Lake for birdwatching and will have our packed lunch. Depending on the energy reserves of the team, close to our destination we will have the chance to visit the Rasnoavei Gorge looking for Wallcreepers, Alpine Swifts and Crag Martins.
