Trip duration:1 day

In this excursion in the Danube Delta, you will see:

The Sakhalin lagoon or Meleaua, as it is called by the locals of Sfantu Gheorghe. The central element, which is not missing from any organized tour, is the Tuzla tugboat. The story says that this tugboat, brand new, fresh off the docks of the Constanta shipyard, failed in the Lagoon, due to the fact that the crew (including the Commander) were drunk. Without seeing the "snout" of the Sakhalin, they entered the Lagoon thinking they were on the Sea.

Sfantu Gheorghe beach, one of the few wild beaches on the Black Sea, of brutal and unmistakable beauty.


We use open boats, equipped with benches and cushions for high comfort, which offer very good stability and safety, and experienced guides, willing to share all the secrets of the Delta.

Each person in the boat will receive a life jacket. Our travel speed is low / medium to allow you to discover the beauty of the Danube Delta. We stop at all points of interest to admire and photograph nature.


Our excursions have a fixed price, no hidden costs.

Prices include:

  • 1 place in the boat for 1-day or half-day excursions in the Danube Delta
  • Guide in ROMANIAN or ENGLISH

Va asteptam sa pornim impreuna in aceasta aventura, sa va aratam fata frumoasa, fascinanta si misterioasa a Deltei Dunarii!

Saint George

Sfantu Gheorghe beach is one of the few wild beaches by the sea, of a brutal and unmistakable beauty. It has remained so, due to the fact that it is part of the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve and implicitly any kind of construction is prohibited. But if you come with the trocar from the village (or simply walk the almost 2 km that separates the town from the seashore), you will find at the entrance to the beach (at least this year) some temporary constructions, where you can rent a folding deckchair, have something quick to eat (there are only fas-food products) or buy a cold drink. These are no longer available in the off-season.

In addition, if you go to the right from the entrance to the beach, along the seashore, you will reach the point where the Danube flows into the Black Sea, a place with a special charm. It is incredible how the calm waters of the Danube merge into the tumult of the sea, to give birth to some magnificent waves.

At Sfantu Gheorghe, you find Sacalin Island and lagoon - here the formation of the Delta continues through three other mini arms. You can see on the spot, the stages of the formation of a Delta.

Sacalin Island is a very important area for the migration, nesting and feeding of numerous species of deltaic birds, here you can see at any time (during the season) many species of birds (coots, fugitives, plovers, plovers, gulls, pelicans, cormorants, storks, shovelers, grebes, grebes, ducks, geese, swans, etc.). Practically, all species of birds from the Danube Delta can be found in this place, both freshwater and saltwater ones. This area can only be entered during periods of high water (spring). At Sfantu Gheorghe, you can see the wild beach and the way the Danube flows into the sea. It is wonderful to see how the waves of the sea meet with the fresh water of the Danube.

Sacalin Island is a strictly protected area and you cannot dock or disembark on it. Visiting can only be done by boat.
