Welcome to Birding Life Tours

LIVE YOUR PASSION with BirdingLife Tours. We are based in Canada and have unique concepts that will significantly enhance your birding tour experience.

• A photographic trip journal

of your trip is included with each tour. Your incredible memories of the birds, travel companions and overall trip experience are captured forever in a beautiful 11” x 14” book of at least 50 pages. It will contain not just the photographs, but also an introduction about the country and birding habitat, as well as the checklist of the birds you have seen. This is a personalized book with only pictures from your actual trip! Your host and nature photographer will be capturing the trip and ensuring that your tour is successful every step of the way, while your guide will be dedicated to finding the birds! Hit play on the video below to see an example of the book you would receive.

• Rainforest and habitat conservation

is a key principle behind BirdingLife Tours. We will purchase at least one acre of rainforest for each tour we run. Click here for more details.

• Expert Guides

reside in the country in which they are guiding. This local expert knowledge of the active hotspots directly results in viewing more birds.

• A personalized friendly atmosphere

prevails throughout your tour. A formal interview will be conducted with each participant to determine specific desires and expectations for the tour. Final tour design and details will be based on these specifications. Each tour will be somewhat unique based on this process.

• Small tour sizes

result in more time with the guide and more customization for you. Our tours have a maximum of 6 participants. Each tour is accompanied by Michael Nelson, host and your nature photographer, as well as an expert Guide. This provides you with unmatched personalized service.

• A casual education program

is integrated into each tour. Any audio/visual materials will be provided to all participants.

• A reward program

comes in two flavours. First, on any repeat tours with us you will receive $200 off tours 10 days or less and $300 off tours of more then 10 days. Secondly, refer your friends to us and once they book with full payment you will receive a framed 11” x 14” photograph of your choice from our Gallery.
