The tour
The kayak tour is not a race, we paddle slowly, is more a Discover Danube Delta trip. We stop from time to time for relaxation, we visit shallow water lakes, invaded of vegetation which is a shelter for many species of birds and animals. When we find places with many birds like pelicans, herons, white tailed eagles, ibises, coots, ducks, geese, swans and other we can make a stop to watch them and take some photos.
The average of the distance per day is about 25 km. It is not too much, every one can do it.

The guides
Are very nice guys from Danube Delta, they speak english (good level), they know Danube Delta very well, they know nature very well, they now were to go and how to survive in any conditions.
