Amazing experience - It was an amazing experience, the bears were very close to us and we could see them well. The Guide Traian Bichea explained and tell us all about the brown bear community in Romania. Although the cabin from where you see the bears has no ventilation or AC so if you go during summer it is very hot 🥵

10-15 Meter distance, many bears (saw nine) - It was really great. We saw nine bears in total, and eight at once together. The guide, Claudiu, provided plenty of information on Romanian bears. Recommend.

Watching Bears in the Wild - Timely pick up from our hotel with another couple and taken to the village next to Rasnov where we transferred to a Land Rover to negotiate the forest trail to the watching point. Great views of about 10 adult bears with a total of about 15 people present in the hide. We watched, took photos and videos for over an hour. Returned back to Brasov main square at our request so we could go to a restaurant for dinner. The couriers were friendly and informative. A great experience all round.

Unmissable experience seeing bears in the wild - We loved this experience! So thrilling seeing the bears. Our guide was brilliant - full of facts and recommendations and going out of his way to make sure our six year old was enjoying herself.

Must do when in Brasov - An absolute must do when you are in Brasov. We had gone bear watching in Slovenia so were not considering doing again while in Romania we are so glad that we did the trip here. Fantastic experience saw so many bears in the wild including a mother with cubs. Even the drive with the ranger through the forest was part of the fun.

A bit artificial! - It's extraordinary to be able to observe ten bears for more than an hour, well sheltered in an observatory. You should even know that they are baited by food distributed every day in the same place at the same time. 100% chance of seeing bears but it's a bit artificial you have to know.
