Tour information
Custom tours include all kinds of private photo tours of singles, couples or small groups of friends who plan to visit our hides but have their own idea of which species or hide they would like to use and for how many days. In contrast to scheduled photo tours with set dates and itineraries, our custom tours are tailor-made and designed to meet your needs. We can book you hides, guides, any of our partner lodges, transportation. Contact our office with your ideas and we help to create your own tour if we can! In most cases however custom tour prices are higher than fixed tour prices.

SAKERTOURS offers airport transfers both in Hungary (from Budapest) and in Romania (Bucharest) upon request for 150 euro one way including petrol and road tolls if required, which is economical if you are minimum two or three. Above three clients we would use a mini van in which case airport transfers are 280 euro one way.
We can also organize daily transport if we have any of our cars available. We have normal cars, 4×4 cars as well as mini vans. Normally cars and 4×4 cars we supply to your tour with our guide as drivers. In such case the price is 120 euro/day including petrol. Our mini van is also available with our guide as driver for 240 euro/day including petrol.
Day use of our hides
It is also possible to select any of our hides and just visit it for one day (or few days) so you can combine your birdwatching, family or business holiday with bird photography! This is also an option if you wish to do all your arrangements and just book our hides for photography! Most of our hides are comfortable for up to 3 photographers. The price for one day in most of our hides is 180 euro for one person, 250 euro for two persons and 300 euro for three persons. This price includes transportation to and from hides – usually with 4×4 car, national park or other entrance fees and one day use of our unique hide. Some of the hides have different quotation like the Roosting Crane Hide in Hungary.
Our Bear Hides also have a different pricing as the photography session is usually 4-6 hours in the afternoon. We have bear hides from 100-200 euro/person prices depending on the hide. We have standard hides, hides with more travel and overnight hides too.
Our photo-boat in the Danube Delta is 300 euro/day with driver but without petrol. It is like car hire, you will get the boat with a full tank at the starting point (usually Tulcea) and you need to fill it up as you go – depending on how many days you use – and return it with full tank at the end.
