Private Birding Day Tours

Can’t join one of our set-departure day tours? Or maybe you feel like some one on one time with a professional bird guide? What if you’re trying to avoid groups of people? Well, our Private Birding Day Tours are for you! No groups of people, no sharing your guide’s attention and no sharing the spotting scope to see that far-off shorebird. Our private day tours are perfect if you’re looking for an experience where you decide the pace of birding, when to stop and when to go and just how much effort you want to put into the day. Want to skip lunch and keep birding? You got it! Want to spend an extra twenty minutes in a specific bird hide? Let’s do it! Surely you can see where this is going. We run private birding tours to all our regular birding spots, but if there is a specific species you’d like to target, or a specific site you’d like to visit, we’ll make that happen too!
