Things to do in Vylkovo

  1. Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve

    The lion's share of the marshy, bird-laden Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve, Europe's largest wetlands, lies in Romania. Few tourists enter from the Ukrainian side, but those that do are rewarded with extremely affordable half- to full-day boat tours through the delta's unique waterways. You can visit the Danube's terminus - dubbed the '0km mark' - or take a bird-watching tour.

    In the centre of Vylkovo you'll find the Biosphere Reserve office. The staff speaks some English and can set you up with a local tour operator to take you into the reserve by boat.

  2. Pelikan Canal Tour

    The largest and most organised tour operator is Pelikan Canal Tour. Boat hire is available for a half/full day for up to six people. English-speaking guides charge per hour (more for a professional ornithologist who speaks English). A half day should be enough time to visit both the reserve and the canals. A one-hour canal tour is also available.
