Rates & Number of Travelers - All of the trips listed in this website are designed to run with a minimum of 3 birders and a maximum of 6 birders. If less than three birders a small supplement will be charged. These limitations have been established to ensure the quality of your birding experience.

Another option is to reserve a private trip for your local bird group or birding pals. Private trips are designed to run with a minimum of 6 birders and a maximum of 8 birders. A trip leader is required & responsible to collect and make one combined payment for all participants. A 5% discount per person will be offered for private trips.

The rates listed in the trip details are priced based on double occupancy, each room will have a private bath. However, a single occupancy rate may be requested.
