Fabulous bears! - We had a fabulous time. I was a bit worried as i only book eco tours and was concerned about the fact the bears were being fed but our guide Alina was able to explain about the feeding programme for bears to keep them in the wild, rather than foraging in the bins which was reassuring. Our guide was helpful and knowledgeable, this is a great trip and we saw 4 x bears !

Nearly ending season of bearwatching we saw 2 big male bears - We were lucky on a rainy day just when we reached the visitor centre to meet the ranger it stop raining. Could see the view on thr mountains before we drove ro the observatory, a small wooden cabin. As soon we were in the cabin we saw 2 foxes. The ranger brought the food outside and we wait. Suddenly one big male bear came out of the bush. Wow and after a few minutes male bear no. 2 appears. Great experience to see these animals in there natural habitat. Thank you Alin to brings us up into the mountain and save back in Brasov.

Bear watching - What a wonderful experience! I chose this since I was curious about watching bears in the wild, and it was fascinating to get to learn about the two bears who came by. We also saw foxes, and one came very close to the hideout! Alin is incredibly knowledgeable about bears and the area, and you’re sure to leave this experience satisfied.

Incredible experience - An incredible experience - must do whilst staying in Brasov! The drive up was beautifully scenic and then we headed into the mountains to the hide out to see the bears. We got really lucky and saw 7 bears in total and also witnessed a bear fight which we were told was very rare to see! There’s something magical about seeing bears in their natural habitat, this was a bucket list thing to do for me and I loved the whole experience bought to live by our amazing guide Alin, thank you for a special evening

Bears only about 100 meters away, and we could observe them for an hour in their natural habitat. Alin was a great tour guide with an enormous knowledge of Romania, where to go and what to see, but he also told interesting facts about Romanian history and current affairs.

Amazing experience wth a whole group of bears! - The most amazing view I ever could experience in the wild! Shortly (about 1,2 minutes) after we arrived in a cabin in the wood with a big window for watching, about 8 (!) bears arrived just about 100 meters away, and we could watch them for one hour in their natural habitat. Alin was a great guide with a huge knowledge about Romania, where to go and what to see, but also told interesting facts about Romanian history and current affairs.

Very good tour ! - The tour was perfect, the van picked us up in the city center and we drove for about an hour. We saw 6–7 bears, they showed up just a few minutes after we arrived. Alin is a great guide, we had really good conversations on lots of topics. I highly recommend it :)
