Great bear spotting opportunity - Outstanding chance to see bears in the wild, we saw 8 in an hour. Our guide Vlad gave us lots of info beforehand so we understood why the bears were being fed etc

Also close to such a majestic animal 😍 - A very good experience with Vlad as a guide to see the bears. I discovered a lot and the information is relevant and clear. He takes the time to explain everything and rehearse if necessary, open to questions. Very good road to the cabin that puts in the Mood the more you enter the forest. The experience with bears is indescribable, you have to live it! We saw a dozen of them with fox crows... If I had to do it again, I wouldn't hesitate to rebook for the same thing. Thanks again!

Good excursion in the evening - We think it was quite great, was just a bit too long (for the seven-year-old). I particularly liked the explanation on the way there.

Highly recommended! - The tour was perfectly organized and Vlad, one of the guides, was extremely friendly, informative and professional. On the approximately 45-minute outward journey we were informed in detail about bears in general and special and with the rules to be followed during the observation. After arriving at the observation station, ES was only a few meters away. There we were about 70min and could see up to 7 bears at the same time. The bears are fed with some "snacks", a 100% guarantee to see bears would otherwise hardly be possible... All in all highly recommended!!!

An outstanding experience - We could not recommend Vlad highly enough. Everything went smoothly, he communicated well with us in advance. He was spot on time for pick up and was very professional throughout our tour. His knowledge of the region, of his country, its history and of course the bears is excellent. Our outing exceeded our expectations.

Adventurous - The bear trip was well organized. Friendly staff had told a lot about bears during the trip to the hideout. When we arrived it did not take long for 9 bears to show up.

An Unforgettable Wildlife Experience – Absolutely Unmissable! - I’ve had my fair share of nature experiences, but nothing comes close to this. It was truly once in a lifetime. Our guide, Vlad, was incredibly knowledgeable about both the bears and the Brasov region, which made the entire trip even more enriching. We were lucky enough to see 11 wild bears, including one that came just a few meters from the hide—an absolutely breathtaking moment. As a bonus, we even spotted a fox! There were plenty of chances to capture stunning photos, and the entire experience felt safe, well-organized, and respectful to the wildlife. Vlad was also punctual and professional with pickup and drop-off anywhere in Brasov, making the logistics completely hassle-free. DO NOT MISS THIS EXPERIENCE if you’re in the area. If I could give it six stars, I would. Thank you, Vlad!
