(395 reviews)

3 to 4 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

Seize the opportunity to witness Carpathian brown bears in the wild on this 3-hour bear-watching experience from Brașov. Leaving at sunset, travel by minivan or car into the Carpathian Mountains, and, accompanied by a forest ranger, walk into the forests to a secure hide. Then, wait quietly to spot the beautiful brown bears that roam the woodlands. Look for youngsters, large males, and females with their cubs, and for other wildlife including deer and wild boar.

Note: The chances to spot them are about 70%. Do not forget that wildlife have their own way of living and we, humans, try to approach them as much as possible in their natural habitat.
