DETAILED ITINERARIES
Classic Birding Tours
DIFFICULTY LEVEL & PACE
Our birding trips are easy to moderately easy. Relaxed and slow-paced hikes of 1-to-2 miles per day. Each day is divided into two chapters, from 6-to-11:00AM, and then from 3-to-6:00PM. There'll be plenty of time to relax in between these two chapters, bird activity decreases drastically during this time.
BIRDING ACTIVITIES FOR EACH DAY
Weather conditions will determine the birding activities for each day and each day will include a combination of trail birding, birding from our bird hides/bird feeding stations, and from our strategically located observations decks. On days moving from one lodge to another, we'll use famous backcountry birding routes to lookout for new bird species. This type of tour is for you if you are a birdwatcher or a bird photographer who has an easy-to-carry camera to take bird shots on-the-go.
