During this four days holiday we explore the Danube Delta – a wetland area larger than Coto Donana and the Camargue combined. From the comfort of our floating hotel, we’ll explore a maze of channels and lakes, marveling at the sheer numbers of pelicans, herons, and other waterbirds all around us. Our exploring boat will take us through small channels and shallow lakes where the best wildlife resides. On board our floating hotel we will enjoy traditional meals and have drinks on the upper terrace.
