Small Group Tour | Maximum Participant Size: 6

  • You consider yourself bird-fervid—from extremely adventurous and dedicated to making every birding outing count, to almost crossing that line to all-out bird nerd (don’t worry, you’re in good company!).

  • You’re use to a moderate pace and long days with multiple outings searching for as much wildlife and as many birds species as possible.

  • Hope to learn something new, go somewhere new-to-you, and take in the whole high-paced experience with a tight knit group of explorers that share the same passion and spirit for the birds as you do!
