Tips
Boat tours from Tulcea cross Puiu, Lumina, Roșu and Roșuleț on a full-day route of about 10 hours, along the Tătaru and Cordon channels to the mouth of the Danube and back by the Sfântu Gheorghe arm. Carp is plentiful. A reserve entry permit is required, sold by the reserve administration, travel agencies and hotels in Tulcea, and fishing needs a separate permit.
