Thanks to the relatively low level of human intervention, Romania has become home to the largest brown bear population in Europe. Here, in the heart of the Carpathian mountains, you have the chance to observe these majestic animals in their natural habitat, find out interesting facts about the bear life in the wilderness and capture unique moments with your camera. Join us for a short bear-watching adventure trip in the forests near Brașov, together with a specialized forest ranger that will answer all your questions. What makes the tour with us different is that we will teach you about bears life, winter habits, diet and mating. We strongly believe this is a great opportunity to learn, apart from taking amazing pictures.

Departure Point

Traveler pickup is offered

We offer pick up and drop off at your accommodation in Brasov. Please contact before the tour to arrange pick up details.

  • Piatra Craiului National Park Visitor Center, Zarnesti, Romania
    In the afternoon, we will pick you up from your accommodation in Brasov. We pass through Zarnesti and after another 25 minutes drive, we will arrive at a junction where we turn right. Then the fun part starts! We will drive for about 30 minutes deep in the forest, offroad and unpaved road, to where the bears roam free. Quietly, we will get out of the car and walk into a safe bear hide. The hide is built on wooden pillars and is situated at approximately 3 meters above the ground, to allow a better perspective of the area. Once the bears arrive, we need to keep silent not to scare them off. We can take photos or videos but turn our flashes off. After about 2 hours, we will get back to the car, quietly, and drive back to Brasov, where we will drop you off at your accommodation. *This tour requires a minimum of 2 attendees. If you are travelling alone, contact us before to see if you can join an already formed group.

We had a very nice and well-organized tour with a very friendly guide who was happy to answer all of our questions. You could tell that the animals were close to his heart. In the almost two hours we spent in the hut, we saw bears and foxes almost the whole time. There were even 8 bears there at one time. We were very lucky and would definitely recommend the tour. Booking was also very straightforward and possible spontaneously.

Good communication, organised tour at very short notice. Our lovely guide, Andra arrived on time and was really informative and friendly. We learned lots about bears from her. And we saw the bears in their natural environment. A great experience. Thank you
