The Black Sea has almost no tides, and on calm summer days small boats cross Burgas Bay to Saint Anastasia, the island with its tiny monastery. That crossing is the signature outing here, while wine tastings and airport transfers fill out the 6 priced listings.

Top-Rated Burgas Bulgaria Tours & Experiences
Visit to the Unique and Only Bulgarian Black Sea Island Saint Anastasia

Private Transfer from Burgas BOJ Airport to Nesebar
A private car between Burgas Airport and Nessebar, practical for families with luggage. Check the vehicle size, how the driver handles flight delays and where you meet in the arrivals hall.
From Burgas Nessebar Highlights and Wine Tasting with Transfer
Combines the highlights of Nessebar’s old town with a wine tasting, with transfer in the title. Check the order of stops and the number of wines, and plan a quiet afternoon afterward.
Bourgas Exquisite Wine Tasting

Sea Garden and the lakes
Burgas wraps around a wide bay, and the Sea Garden runs along the cliff-top shore with promenades, flower beds and views of the water. The wetlands known as the Burgas Lakes, just outside the city, are among Europe’s best places for watching migrating birds, especially in spring and autumn.
Why These Burgas Tours Stand Out
Visit the Unique & Only Bulgarian Black Sea Island Saint leads on both rating and volume with 4.7 from 25 reviews. No other listing has more than 11, so the rest are early signals. The 6 priced options cover a boat trip, two wine formats and two transfers.
Timing Your Burgas Trip
Summer, from June to early September, brings the warmest water, which usually reaches the mid-20s Celsius in July and August, and the calmest conditions for the island boat. The Sand Festival is a summer event. Spring and autumn are quieter and good for birdwatching, while winter is cold and windy.
Best Area to Base Yourself in Burgas
The center near the Sea Garden keeps restaurants, the port and the train station close. The airport lies just outside town, and many arrivals head directly to Sunny Beach, Nessebar or Sozopol, which is why transfers feature on this page.
What Burgas Tours Cost
The cheapest listing is Self-Guided Sand Festival in Burgas at $10, a self-guided festival visit. Wine tastings and the island trip cluster between $45 and $70, and transfers priced per vehicle should be compared with taxi quotes and group size.
Before You Book in Burgas
Check the sea forecast before heading for the island, since boats do not sail in rough conditions. Several listings can be cancelled without charge until a day before departure, but verify each one, especially for weather-dependent trips.
Which Burgas Tour Fits You
The island trip is the experience of the place, the wine formats suit a rainy afternoon, and the Nessebar combination is the easier choice if you want a stop in the old town as well.
