Fantastic Trip - Weather was appalling 🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️ but the guides showed up at the collection point on time which was a nice surprise I thought it may have to be cancelled. The vehicles were very clean tidy and safe as were the guides who drove them !!! The guides were absolutely lovely spoke perfect English they were friendly and extremely knowledgeable We stopped for toilet break on the way 👍 After parking it is only a short walk to the hide through the forest ( which even I managed in the mud ) You are not guaranteed to see any bears or wildlife but the guides know when is the best time and place to go and patience is needed!!!!!! We were very privileged to see some bears 🐻❤️❤️❤️❤️ I would highly recommend this trip and will definitely return and do it again

Spectacular experience - What an amazing experience to see bears in the wild! We saw not 1, not 2 but at least 3 bears. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and made us feel safe. It's quite an exercise in patience to sit quietly and the only downside is that some people find it harder to sit quietly than others. But that can't be helped I guess.... all in all a spectacular experience and something I travelled around the world trying to see. Now finally in Romania I have see wild bears.

Excellent! - Relaxed small group tour with a very knowledgeable, friendly guide. We had a short walk into the hide, where we got to spend about two hours. We saw four different bears!

Just do it - My brother and I had a fantastic experience here. We saw a lot of wildlife from the hut in addition to the majestic bears. We saw two very young bears and one ginormous lad who was estimated to be at least 10 years old. The guide was a good dude, very knowledgeable and kind and clearly had tons of respect for the bears. You need patience but we were very much rewarded and will never forget seeing wild bears so close.

Brown Bears - We met very centrally and we’re in a group of 8 people. It was a 40 minute drive though traffic to get to the site. It was then a short walk to the well insulated hide. We saw 6 bears including two cubs which was fantastic. Take binoculars if you can

Magic - the experience was super exciting and super educational. i was very happy with the experience. it is very admirable how the guide managed to convey the respect and love for bears and in general for wild animals and their natural environment. He managed to convey a lot of passion for what he does. ( We saw 4 Bears and 2 foxs )
