As part of the Caribbean
Biodiversity Hotspot, and a
BirdLife´s Endemic Bird Area
(EBA 029 - Puerto Rico and the
Virgin Islands), Puerto Rico is a
small paradise for birders.  
Whether you are exploring our
national territory on your own or
with one of our Guides, these
half day birding trips are the
perfect option if you are short of
time or if  you want to combine
different scenarios.
We are a full-licensed birding operator
with all permits from the Government
(Certified Tour Guide/Driver, vehicles) to
offer our services islandwide.

PRIVATE ISLANDWIDE BIRDING TRIPS SINCE 1992

Disabled birders are
welcome!
Half-day birding trips are the perfect alternative for those with
limited time.  We have included several islandwide options
depending on the species of bird you want to see.  

  • El Yunque National Forest - Only a 45 minute drive
    from San Juan, El Yunque is a most see nature wonder.  
    We have special permits to go to the Forest before and
    after the gates are open/close to the general public.  On
    previous birding trips we have spotted 16 of our 17
    endemic species.

  • Eastern Region - Low elevations and strong winds off
    the ocean are responsible for Puerto Rico´s second
    subtropical dry forest area.  Six endemics species, plus
    eastern tip specialties:  Antillean Crested Hummingbird
    and Green-throated Carib.  

  • Caguas - Consider part of the Eastern-Central Region,
    the town of Caguas is located 30 minutes from San Juan
    which makes it an excellent option for late departure
    cruise ships or flights.  

  • North Belt Region - Puerto Rico has two major karst
    regions, northern and southern.  The northern karst
    covers an imaginary line from San Juan International
    Airport to Aguadilla/Punta Borinquen International
    Airport.  Three half-day birding trips within this region:  
    Old San Juan, San Juan/Piñones, and Arecibo.  Looking
    for our Parrot?  This is the best option.

  • West / Southwest - This is home of three of our rarest
    birds:  Elfin Woods Warbler, Yellow-shouldered Blackbird,
    and Nightjar.  Except for the Parrot, 16 out of 17 endemic
    species are found in this region.  The diversity of habitat
    allows us to suggest six alternatives:   Cartagena Lagoon,
    Salt Flats, Maricao, Guánica, Mayagüez, and Guajataca.

If you want to see all the
endemic species, we
suggest a
full-day
birding trip or the
Western Endemic Bird
Trail.  You can also
combine two options
.  
A night option is
available for the
Nightjar.
