Reviews
We really enjoyed our bear watching experience with Simona, who is incredibly knowledgeable about the bears and was able to answer every question we asked. We saw at least 4 different bears. Transportation was straightforward, and they accommodated dropping us off in Zărnești rather than back in Braşov as we were staying there that night.
I found Romanian Friend online when I searched for being able to watch bears in the wild. The trip was very easy to book and fitted in with my travel plans. Our guide Simona was very friendly, informative and showed a real love and passion for bears. We saw 5 bears on our trip and it was incredible. We used Simona's binoculas to be able to view the bears very closely. A fantastic, unforgettable experience. Thank you.
Romanian Friend led us to this amazing team who run excellent conservation projects. The hide we stayed in was really special, great views, comfortable, remote. Our guide was very friendly and answered our constant questions about the Carpathian Mountains, the forest, Romanian history and culture. He was also a great cook.
Very nice tour and our guide Alex was super friendly and gave us very useful information about wildlife, nature, and Romanian mountains in general. We highly recommend this trip! Thank you Alex :)
