IMPORTANT NOTES
We usually limit our birdwatching tours to a maximum of four people, except when they are part of the same group. This is because birdwatching is typically a quiet and immersive experience, and a smaller group allows our guide to provide more personalized attention. Additionally, some guests may not bring their own birdwatching equipment, such as binoculars or a spotting scope. With fewer participants, our guide can more easily share our equipment, help locate birds, and assist with taking photos through the scope
