It's the perfect way to spend a day in nature. I enjoyed Lake Saint Anna, the peat-bog was very intetesting and the cave too. The highlight, of course, were the bears. I was hoping to see just one bear, but we ended up seeing about eight. We saw a red fox too. Also, Irina and Radu were both terrific guides. I would highly recommend this tour.
