From Delta Labyrinths to Open Sea: A Full-Day Boat Passage from Murighiol to Sfântu Gheorghe.

This full-day boat tour follows the old Sfântu Gheorghe branch from Murighiol, threading canals and protected lakes while offering repeated chances to spot swans, pelicans and other Delta wildlife before landing at the village of Sfântu Gheorghe.
