ブラソフでクマウォッチング: 隠れ家から野生のクマを観察する(100%)

This was top of our list when coming to Romania and we were not disappointed! The tour was excellent - great communication in advance and comfortable ride to the forest from Brasov. Vlad is an excellent tour guide and gave us loads of info on bears in Romania - he was funny, engaging and knowledgeable (the ultimate combo in a tour guide). When we arrived there were already two bears there - the kids were so excited! Over 1.5hours we saw ten bears and four cubs, which were the absolute highlight. We also saw a fox and cub. The hide is comfortable and they provide binoculars (which do help you get a close up view, but you can also see the bears perfectly well without them too). It was amazing to see so many bears in the wild, and the whole tour felt safe and very well organised. One of the best wildlife watching experiences we've had.

Pleasantly surprised at how much bear action we saw. A mom and 3 cubs. Bullying by dominant male. Fierce mama bear to perceived threats from other bears. Really worthwhile unique experience!

The observation of the wild brown bears exceeded my expectations; we saw about 6-7 adult bears and 6 small cubs - we were lucky. Our guide Vlad shared a lot of interesting information about Romanian bears with us; the drive through the landscape was wonderful - overall, it was the highlight of our trip to Romania!

Vlad was great and very knowledgeable. He told us exactly what to expect on the bus journey there and answered all our questions. We were so lucky to see many bears and Vlad told us facts about the ones he recognised and encouraged us to guess genders and ages. Great experience and one I will never forget. We were in the hide about 1.5 hours, the journey from Braşov was maybe 45 minutes each way. There were 8 people in our group which was great so we all had front row seats and easy access to binoculars. If you have your own it’s worth bringing. There’s no toilet there so worth going before the journey, and if you get travel sick, take tablets beforehand as the track near the hide is quite rough. We didn’t have to walk at all, the van was parked right next to the hide. Think we paid around £160 for 2 people.

Very beautiful experience, we were lucky to observe many bears from the smallest to the largest. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about bears!

This was such a cool tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and fun to talk with. The bears were very active, we saw at least 15 bears on the trip including cubs. It was an amazing experience and the highlight of our trip.

We booked via Hotels.com and to our dismay, we got a text from Vlad saying there was no spaces left. It fairness to him and Simone they moved heaven and earth and arranged transport just in the nick of time. Although the hide was larger than we expected, with around 30 visitors, we certainly weren’t disappointed as we saw 2 fully grown male bears, 4 females, 1 teenager, a pine martin and a fox. Apparently, Pine Martins are very rare, 1 in 20 visits and foxes 1 in 5 so to see them all we felt so lucky We both got some fantastic photos and videos and take away memories that will last forever. An absolute must for visitors who are in the area

What an amazing experience. We saw plenty of bears, a fox and a pine marten. Only booked on the day, but Vlad was able to squeeze us in. He was so knowledgeable and helpful. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

Overall an amazing experience. The trip to and from the hide was around 40 minutes and we were lucky enough to see 6 bears! Our guide Vlad immediately made everyone feel welcome. On the way to the hide he shared lots of information about bears, how they came to be, their behaviour and facts about their biology. He also answered all of our questions about bears, general wildlife, and Braşov in general. Overall a top guy who really made the experience special! Seeing bears in person was just magic, I’d recommend this trip if you have the time.

This trip was amazing from start to finish. Our knowledgeable guide, Vlad, picked us up promptly in the old town of Brașov before driving us to the national park. On the way he gave us lots of background information about the bears which was really useful context, as well as telling us all about the areas we were driving through. We were able to drive very close to the bear hide where we excitedly took our seats. Within about 10 minutes then bears started arriving. What a privilege to be able to see them in their natural environment, so close up. If you love nature, this trip is a must for you.
