The Danube Delta seen from canoes and kayaks

What do you say about the Danube Delta seen from canoes and kayaks? Sounds good, doesn't it?

Rowing boats remain the most ecological means of transport, in contrast to the high-powered sloops used more and more by tourists who come to visit the Delta. Thus, those who practice canoeing can cross all the waters of the Delta, not being restricted by the authorities or by the flow and depth of the canals. During the canoe trip, most of the landscapes of the Delta will be encountered: canals, fields, reed fields, lakes, swampy forests, bird colonies, sandbars.

In addition to the landscapes encountered, the canoe or kayak tour remains an exciting sport, an exercise in endurance and navigation, being highly recommended for those who want to improve their muscle tone and physical condition.

The Danube Delta seen from canoes and kayaks with camping and dining

The campsites will be determined by the guides, depending on the conditions encountered in the Delta during the respective period. On the first day, the camp will be set up on the bank of a canal, and the next day the group will camp on a wild beach of the Black Sea. Each participant must own the camping equipment. For those who will request, we will provide a light tent with instant assembly, a sleeping bag and a raincoat.

The team of guides will provide you with dishes prepared in the cauldron (fried fish or fish soup) for dinner, depending on the time available. The participants will have the task of helping to capture a sufficient amount of fish.

For the other meals, the Supplier recommends the participants to bring protein-rich products with a high energy intake, to be able to sustain the effort made during the route: canned food with beans, peas or lentils, whey cheese, dry salami, dates, halva, bananas, but also some fresh vegetables. (Without excess food, the total weight of the load must be as low as possible.)

Instead, it is mandatory for each participant to have 5-6 liters of water. The participants will be on the water for about 4 hours effectively every day, the shifts being interrupted by the rest break.

Included services:

• Equipment: double and single kayaks, Canadian canoes, life jacket.

• guides

• Voporas: transfer upstream to the starting point, at the end of the stay.

• Motorized support boat, throughout the route.

• Camping equipment (on request)

• Workshop of traditional fishermen's dishes

• Cauldron fish dishes (fried fish/soup for both dinners)

• Cooking utensils and crockery.

• Fishing tackle

• Campfire

Route and schedule:

The canoe trip will cross an area with a diverse landscape, located in the south of the Danube Delta. The route will start from Dunavat de Jos and will cross the canals and lakes to the sea, the final point will be on the beach at Perisor, where the canoe convoy would arrive in the afternoon of the second day. The route is designed in such a way that it can be covered by all the participants, having a duration of about 4 hours each day (day I and II), the laps being interrupted by rest breaks and photo sessions. The return journey will have to be done by steamboat, to avoid canoeing or kayaking against the current.
