Why are most birding tours so long and so hardcore?
Today, many people simply can’t disconnect from work and life for two or three weeks at a time. Our idea is different: focus on the most spectacular and colorful birds, while also enjoying wildlife, culture, and great food. All in a short, refreshing break.

With our tours, you only need five days off to visit your dream destinations around the world. Imagine birding near Machu Picchu, the Taj Mahal, Petra, Rome, Rio de Janeiro, Angkor Wat, Chichén Itzá, or the Pyramids. We highlight the world’s most iconic birds, and everything else you see is just icing on the cake.

We focus on the essential reasons you’ve always wanted to visit the destination. That’s why these tours work beautifully for both seasoned birders and those just starting out. Even a non-birding partner will enjoy them.
They’re short, comfortable, and packed with experiences that appeal to everyone.

Of course, some birders will argue that if you’re flying halfway around the world, you’ll want to stay longer — and we agree!

That’s why nearly all of our tours offer optional extensions for more traditional birding, where we can chase down endemics and special targets. It’s easy to make your trip longer if you want to.

But if your time is limited and your bucket list is long with world heritage sites to explore, iconic mammals and spectacular birds to see, then a 5-day core tour is exactly what you need. Let’s face it: time, more than anything else, is what keeps us from checking off those bucket-list dreams.
