Palm Springs Excursion for Solo Travelers

Thursday February 8th | 11am - Sunday February 11th | 2pm (PST)

2024

Small Group Tour | Maximum Participant Size: 3

  • You consider yourself bird-curious, adventurous, and want to explore nature’s wonders in an arid climate, but haven’t wanted to, alone. This excursion it suited for a complete beginner to an intermediate explorer.

  • You want to focus on a mildly paced outing that helps connect you to dynamic landscapes; find wildlife and birds and revel in their presence, admiring behaviors and listening to calls; tune into all of your senses as you explore (*this excursion is not for those looking to check off as many bird species as possible).

  • Hope to learn something new, go somewhere new-to-you, and take in the whole experience with a tight knit group of solo explorers that are not so solo when adventuring together!
