BIRDING TOURS WORLDWIDE

Welcome to Birding Ecotours! Here we present you with the best birding tours around the world. Please scroll down for the latest blogs, trip reports and client testimonials. But first, here is what is most important to us:

Conservation: we donate a bare minimum of 10 % of our annual profits to bird conservation. It is Birding Ecotours’ company policy to contribute this money directly to conservation and local communities. We are passionate about birding and also about leaving a legacy – by genuinely helping people and conserving birds – for generations to come.

The best birding guides: Birding Ecotours tour leaders are some of the best bird finders in the industry and are also great with people (which is even more important than birding prowess).

Small groups: we often guarantee our set departure birding tours with a minimum of 4 participants (sometimes even fewer), and ...

… we typically cap the maximum group size at 6 or 8 (with a few exceptions). We also offer private, bespoke birding trips for any size group you want (besides our set departures).

Excellent value: Birding Ecotours trips are usually competitively priced, even though we tend to use superior accommodation and vehicles where available. Orange boxes on our tour itinerary pages throughout our website clearly explain if there are things that sets a specific tour apart (sometimes meaning a higher price, as quality is paramount to us).

An impeccable reputation since we started in 2003: Birding Ecotours has a well-established reputation meaning we have stacks of awesome repeat clients. Our client testimonials speak for themselves; see the latest ones at the bottom of this page.

Enthusiastic service: we love getting back to you quickly with the information you need about your birdwatching vacation.

The best trip lists: we pride ourselves in getting the best tour bird lists (please do check our trip reports to see this) while also allowing enough time to enjoy each species, and allowing adequate time to stop for mammals and other wildlife too. We have a great many birding trips on offer, most of which are perfect for serious listers looking for the country’s endemics and specials (yet suitable also for beginner birders and everyone in between).

A few specialized tours: we offer some of the best rare mammal tours, owl tours, birding photography tours, Antarctic and Arctic cruises, pelagic birding trips, and more, in addition to our standard birding tours.

We have a vast repertoire of birdwatching tours across the planet. The above is a general indication of how we operate, but please ask us for details about specific tours, as they vary depending on the style of the guide who is leading, the destination, and other factors.

MONTHLY VIDEO

South Texas is full of special bird species that are can be seen nowhere else in the United States! Enjoy this small taste of what birding in the Lower Rio Grande Valley is like and but sure to check out our website for information on our tours to this amazing region!

All of this footage was shot by our guide Jacob in February of 2021. Despite the unusually cold, wet and windy conditions, the birds still proved to be active and present!

Eduardo – considered family or close friend to us than a guide. He is so easy to be around, and knows birds. He always makes sure everyone sees the species and has time for photography. He explains the area, bird life, and everything valuable to the experience. He makes sure things move seamless and we never see the behind the scenes. We love to travel to him. He is humorous, kind, generous and always OPEN!!

Birding Ecotours in Southeast Brazil was wonderful. The trip was very well organized and we saw lots of great birds. Eduardo is an excellent guide. His bird skills are terrific and he can find and spot birds very quickly. He is kind and patient. He makes sure everyone has a good chance to see the bird, and always asked each person by name if we saw the bird. He really made the trip easy, fun and rewarding.

Steven – On Southeast Peru and Eduardo – September 2025

I did two of the sections of Birding Ecotours’ program of Australian tours – NT/Alice Springs and Western Australia. Everything about my two sections was excellent; the guiding, the accommodation, the transport, and the food were all good. The birding was exceptional, – seeing birds that I had hoped to see one day – so many species, from Bustards to Fairywrens. The widespread knowledge of Andy (and the local guides), was remarkable and added greatly to my enjoyment of the trip.

Another well planned and executed private tour, Dominic is first class in every aspect, brilliant birder, great travelling companion and sensitive to individual needs. We have been fortunate to have experienced a wide variety of birding tours with exceptional guides. Dominic is up there with the very best.
