Birders & non-birders welcome!
In cooperation with the conservation-led luxury travel company andBeyond, we have created trips designed specifically to excite birding fanatics while also offering an outstanding travel experience for their non-birding companions.
5 spectacular destinations on 3 continents
When putting together these travel experiences, we had those couples in mind where one is an avid birdwatcher and the other is not. Explore some of the world’s best birding hotspots and scenic destinations. Specialized birding guides will provide keen birdwatchers with the opportunity to expand their knowledge, while non-birders are kept busy with a variety of experiences that immerse them in local culture, spectacular wildlife, and unforgettable natural wonders.
