Bear watching in the Land of Volcanoes
Overview
The bear hides are specially built on the ground, at the same level with the animals and they are completely safe. Moreover, they are perfect for professional and also amateur photographers.
Inside, there is enough space to sit down and relax while enjoying this wonderful experience.
We are against wildlife hunting and because we promote sustainable tourism, we want our guests to see living bears in their natural habitat, not at the ZOO or in a reservation.
You will be picked up from your location in Brasov and taken to Tusnad area, where you will participate at the bear watching activity. In the end, you will be dropped off at your location in Brasov.

Amazing experience with Irina and her team! She explain everything about brown bears, their behaviour and give us tips in case of a situation "face to face" with them. The hide was perfect and bears come close enough to have a really amazing and emotional experience. The spot is even suitable to take some professional photos with long focal and tripod. I really recommend this activity with this team!!!I always wanted to see brown bears in the wild and found this tour after a quick google search. It was very easy to book and Andreea was always very helpful and answered my questions including the best place to park in the centre of Brasov.

I always wanted to see brown bears in the wild and found this tour after a quick google search. It was very easy to book and Andreea was always very helpful and answered my questions including the best place to park in the centre of Brasov. Sandu who drove me to and from the bear hide was just legendary. Really enjoyed chatting to him on the car journey and he also tod me about the history of some of the places we drove through on the way. Robert was also a credit to NeoTour and hopefully we'll properly meet when I try to visit Romania again sometime. As for the bear hide it was situated in the perfect position for photographs (on the same level as the bear). On arrival to the hide there was already a big male bear waiting for us! I would definitely recommend doing this and am saving to hopefully visit again!In Brasov different bear watching options were offered and it took me a lot of time to sort them out.

In Brasov different bear watching options were offered and it took me a lot of time to sort them out. And in the end we were very happy that we chose the "Bear watching in the Land of Volcanoes" experience. Communication with the guide already started before the tour which ensured a smooth pick up. We were positively surprised that we were the only three persons in the group. The car and driver were excellent. Our guide Irina entertained us on our 1 1/2 hour trip to the bear hide with nice facts about bears and life in Romania in general. She is not only very knowledgeable, but also a nice person. After arriving at a parking lot, we hiked for a few minutes with some other groups and an armed ranger to the bear hide. Irina made sure we got the best seats in the house. The bear hide was great: as the hide is on ground level, the bears can come close to the windows. We were lucky to see three of them during our excursion (although we know that this is not guaranteed because wildlife is always unpredictable). We fully recommend this tour for the great guide and excellent bear hide the tour visits!This bear watching tour was so unique and exclusive. The scenery during the short hike to the hide is serene and picturesque. Once inside the hide you’ll see the bears in their natural environment without disturbing them. The pictures you can get while in the hide of the bears turn out so perfect...
This bear watching tour was so unique and exclusive. The scenery during the short hike to the hide is serene and picturesque. Once inside the hide you’ll see the bears in their natural environment without disturbing them. The pictures you can get while in the hide of the bears turn out so perfect. Our guide Robert was passionate, proficient, knowledgeable, witty and warm. Overall I had a sublime experience. I definitely recommend taking this bear watching tour if you want to see bears and learn about them. By the way NeoTours is the best company to do tours with! They offer a variety of tours with the best guides. This was my second tour with them and once again great experience!I did a bear tour in July 2021 to the land of volcanoes.

I did a bear tour in July 2021 to the land of volcanoes. I experienced the company as very professional and a company that tried to help me to find the tour that was the best for me. They guide gave good information during the trip and I got the feeling that they wanted to do what they could to make me have the best experience. I am also into photography and the guide made sure I got a spot in the front closest to the windows in the bear hide so I could get as good photos as possible. The guide also gave me a lot of tips and help for hiking the next day. So very helpful and good guide. We saw two bears during the time one the hide. The negative aspect to the tour was that there were too many people in the bear hide, in my opinion. I counted at least 35 people in the bear hide at the same time. This is way too crowded, especially in a Corona pandemic, but I would say also in normal circumstances. We were sitting very close to each other and there were no possibility to have 1 meter distance. It also got very hot in the bear hide because of all peole. This was not the fault of the company, but the rangers that had admitted far too many people from different companies this day. But especially in these time, that is not good for the experience.The tour was really nice ! Easy Communication with the tour guides, Really friendly and motivated people.
