Seize the opportunity to witness Carpathian brown bears in the wild on this 3-hour bear-watching experience from Brașov. Leaving at sunset, travel by minivan or car into the Carpathian Mountains, and, accompanied by a forest ranger, walk into the forests to a secure hide. Then, wait quietly to spot the beautiful brown bears that roam the woodlands. Look for youngsters, large males, and females with their cubs, and for other wildlife including deer and wild boar.

Note: The chances to spot them are about 70%. Do not forget that wildlife have their own way of living and we, humans, try to approach them as much as possible in their natural habitat.

Highly recommend. We saw 4 foxes and 5 bears (although the bears came during darker hours of the session since they prefer dusk to be more active but the guide told us that they can appear at any time since the bears have no schedule haha) it was a very professional and a wonderful experience, the guide came on time and picked us up from the meeting location in a spacious van and was very hospitable to us throughout the event.
Intimate group, great experience

Tour guide and booking team was friendly- contacted us prior with meeting details etc. Approx 45min drive each way, Unfortunately no bears to be seen despite waiting 2hrs. Very disappointing as this was my only reason I returned to Romania (as seen city, castles etc before). Unfortunately that's nature though so can't be controlled. Saw bears in liberty sanctuary next day which us good as guaranteed but not quite same as in wild - good option if you want go guarantee seeing though. Company refunded 50% of cost that same night due to no bear sightings which was really nice gesture (didnt even ask or say anything about no bears). Overall recommend company as cannot fault them but just dont rely on seeing bears when sign up
