CUSTOM PRIVATE BIRDING TOURS
We organize custom private birding tours to countries in Central America and South America. All our birding tours can be conducted as bird photo tours with a suitable pace for taking photos during the tour. You choose the dates when you wish to travel, we make the arrangements, you enjoy the tour. We call these ANYTIME BIRDING TOURS AND BIRD PHOTO TOURS. The prices of our custom tours are typically similar to the group tours offered by other companies. We can offer these prices because we have much lower overhead than other tour operators.
We offer a variety of suggested itineraries on our website, which are highlighted below. We can modify these itineraries or create fully custom itineraries to any of these countries to suit your particular birding or bird photography goals. While we suggest excellent itineraries, we can do virtually any itinerary offered by other companies to our destination countries, typically at similar prices as their group tours. Each of our tours is led by an expert birding guide who lives in the Neotropics year-round. Hence, our guides always have the latest information on where best to find all the specialty birds possible on the tour.
In addition to information about our tours, our extensive website includes selected trip reports from past tours, numerous photographs, and birding information including checklists and target bird lists for various countries throughout the world. We have conducted tours to Africa and Asia in the past but specialize on the neotropics. Nevertheless, we intend to offer tours to select countries elsewhere in the world as well. We are currently planning scouting trips to Bhutan, India, and Mongolia and can arrange tours to these countries in addition to the Neotropics.
