Sometimes challenging, but cannot express enough how beautiful it is. Radu was patient, an expert in his field, and a joy to hike with.” - Reviewed on 2024-06-07

Here, in the heart of the wilderness, you witness the raw beauty of the bears in their natural habitat. It’s a moment of connection, a reminder of the delicate balance between man and nature.
“Bears, Bears, Bears, and More - We really enjoyed our bear viewing experience! It was rainy going to the park, but it cleared up nicely once we got situated in our ‘hide’. The viewing area was protected from the elements (like a glass-fronted cabin really) and bears would come to feed in viewing distance. I particularly liked the interaction of bears and the cunning little foxes. It was definitely the highlight of my trip to Romania.” - Reviewed on 2024-10-11
