Thrilling
Marc
, Aug 2021
Nice experience.
The guide was very late to pick us up at the hotel and the traffic (rush hour) was not factored in…
When we arrived, there was already one bear at the feeding place. But i think because of the rain the bear didn‘t recognize us when we get into the hide. Later there came another one.
When we went back there was a thrilling moment, because a bear stood directly in the middle of our way. The guide made some noises and it walked into the forest. The guide had some pepper spray with him but didn‘t had to use it. in the car he told a friend on phone that this was the first time something like that happens to him (friend of me understood some romanian ;) ). But for that he reacted very calm and competend.
I would book it again!!!
P.S.: the windows of the hide should be cleaned a bit… for better photos ;)
Amazing experience to see the bears in their natural habitat

Really amazing experience to be able to see the bears in the wild, in their natural habitat. When we arrived we immediately saw 3 male bears, it was interesting to see how they behaved in relation to the alpha. Later we saw 2 more bears, a younger one and an 8 y old adult alpha. The ranger was very nice, explaining a lot of interesting facts about the bears’ behaviour. I would really recommend this tour.

Great experience. Friendly guide. Great service: collected at and brought back to the hotel.
The bears were superb. We had a great view. Saw several bears among others we saw a mother and a young bear. I would definitely advise this trip.

You need a lot of patience, but it pays off to see bears completely wild in their natural environment, we saw three on our tour.
On a things to improve side, the chairs in the viewing hut were not comfortable to sit on for 2-3 hours. Our guide, while friendly and willing to answer all questions, could have prepared a bit more facts or interesting things to discuss on the journey there and back, it's quite a trip and I think we all expected a bit more info/interaction on the journey, which got tedious..
Response from Host , Aug 2021
Thank you for your review and your observation about our Small-Group Brown Bear-Watching Experience from Brasov, Cristina! We are so happy you have spotted 3 brown bears; so the experience was fulfilled! We have to keep in our mind we are going at a hide located in the nature to spot wildlife.
Great Bears and great Guide

Simply awesome! We saw 4 gorgeous bears. And lots of interesting scenes with the bears. Because of the tactic for attracting the bears, it is nearly guaranteed, that you gonna spot Bears. The guide was great and gave us lots of interesting informations and good entertainment :-) The group was only 6 people. All in all awesome experience! :-) Recommended 100%!

Should have been picked up at 4pm. Were not picked up till after 7pm.. 1 bear seen from the hide,, not the experience we hoped for..
Response from Host , Nov 2019
Would you be so kind to send me more details about your reservation! Why? Because only once for this season we experienced an issue: instead of 6 pm (not 4pm, as you wrote, by mistake I hope) my guide arrived at 7pm (the minibus had a technical problem and we had to replace it). We apologized at that moment and the clients understood the situation (thank you a lot for this)!
Fabulous Experience

An amazing opportunity to watch bears close up. Exceptionally well organised. Superb guide, Tiberius. The highlight of my trip to Romania. Worth every penny.
Fantastic

Our guide, Tiberias was brilliant. Knowledgeable, friendly, easy going. Time went quickly, saw a bear within 5 mins, foxes, then 3 more bears. Loved it. The rangers are doing a great job protecting the bear population.
