Tips
Murighiol, a fishing village with camping sites, is the jump-off point for boats to Uzlina, and a tourist complex at Uzlina rents boats and guides. Colonies can be visited by motorboat, but they are not marked on maps, and information is limited during nesting to protect the birds. White pelicans are best seen from March to October. A reserve entry permit is required, sold by the reserve administration, travel agencies and hotels in Tulcea, and fishing needs a separate permit.
