2024 – Birding Review Ecuador: Birding Tour

★★★★★

Organization of our trip by Ecuador Bird Tours was excellent. Miguel, our bird guide, was a very perceptive and competent bird expert, and due to him we saw a lot of species which we couldn’t discern visually nor hear. And we experience great hospitality in Hacienda Jimenita, being the main base of our trip and belonging to the owners of Ecuador Birds Tours agency. - Tomasz, Poland

2025 – Birding Report Ecuador: Fantastic 15-Day Birding Adventure in Ecuador

★★★★★

"My wife and I had a wonderful time on this 15-day bird private tour with Ecuador Birds Tours (EBT). Diego was wonderful tailoring our trip to our desires, and answering all of our pre-trip questions. All the logistics during our trip were smooth as can be. The lodges were great and much nicer than what I had expected. The food provided by the lodges was wonderful and we felt very spoiled! The staffs at the lodges were very friendly and eager to please and help. We highly recommend Ecuador Birds Tours for folks who want to be immersed in discovering the wonderful bird life of Ecuador. Not having to worry about driving, safety, safe food/water, or the best spots to find birds made this a stressless adventure. This is a professional, well-run operation and we are super happy we went with Ecuador Birds Tours!" - Mike and Amedee Long from USA

2025 – Birding Report Ecuador: Excellent guide, amazing birds

★★★★★

"I saw over 100 birds with Ecuador Birds Tours! They know all there is to know about birds and can identify them from a fleeting glance or a very far off call. Everywhere we went was full of birds and Ivan knows just where to look and how to call them out so you can see them. His knowledge of birds, and enthusiasm for finding them is unparalleled. Highly recommended! - Suzanne from Australia

2025 – Birding Report Ecuador: Worth more than five stars really

★★★★★

"Did a 14 day trip with my own guide. Everything ran smoothly from being collected at the airport to being returned there. My guide had excellent skills and knowledge and worked really hard to maximise the number of birds we could find. 500 birds and eleven mammals including spectacled bear says it all. The company clearly has very good relationships with the lodges and local guide so we were treated well. If I can return in the future to go further down into the Amazon Basin I will use them again". - David Jones, United Kingdom

2025 – Birding Report Ecuador: Super Birding Company

★★★★★

"Diego and Ecuador Birds Tour did an awesome job planning my 4 night birding and photography trip to Ecuador. I would highly recommend them for both photographers and those just looking to see a lot of birds. Diego helped me when one of my luggage was delayed over 24 hours requiring him to pick it up at the airport at almost midnight the night before I was scheduled to head to the Western cloud forests. I saw all the birds on my list and was able to get great photos with the help of my guide Roberto. It was a great start to my trip to Ecuador" Sabrina, USA

2025 – Birding Report Ecuador: Terrific Birding and Superb Trip Organization

★★★★★

"Seeing birds, lots of them, and adding lifers is exactly what you want a birding trip to be. You get this and much more with Ecuador Bird Tours most capably managed by Diego Cruz. The exceptional guides provided by Ecuador Birds Tours: Miguel for six days and Oscar for three were often accompanied by a second, and sometimes even a third local guide. I saw more than 300 species in 8 days of birding. This included a Harpy, 26 other birds of prey, 28 Hummingbirds, and well over 100 lifers. Also, within an hour of arrival we saw a spectacled bear and a giant anteater and anaconda at Sacha (and we saw 3 species of monkeys, 2 species of squirrels, agouti, and other animals).This was my second trip with Ecuador Birds Tours, and I really hope to go again." David Northrup, Canada

2025 – Birding Report Ecuador: 10 day tailored tour with Ecuador Bird Tours

★★★★★

"My wife and I cannot recommend this company enough. The lodges we stayed at on our tour included Hacienda Jimenita, Sachatamia Lodge, and San Isidro Lodge. They were all fantastic and the grounds of Jimenita were both gorgeous and fun to explore and there were some neat bird art pieces around the lodge. Food throughout the tour was exceptional.We will absolutely be doing business with this company again and highly recommend them for your future travel needs." Robert Qually, USA

2025 – Birding Report Ecuador: Fantastic tour with great guides and lodging

★★★★★

"My wife and I had the pleasure of going on Ecuador Bird Tours excursion for our 40th anniversary. The trip vastly exceeded our expectations! From the welcome we received at La Jimeneta to our final day, Diego and his staff treated us like family. Our guides were amazing making sure that we got on the bird as well as finding the best angle for a photo. We managed to see all our target birds and many more. The guides on our first two days were Daniel and Roberto, great guides and extremely knowledgeable. The remaining days we had Marcelo. At the end of our 10 days we counted 330 birds, 238 lifers and took about 1300 photos. I highly recommend Ecuador Bird Tours, Diego and his staff will tailor a tour for your goals and interests. We are planning another tour to the Amazon region with them hopefully in the near future" Walt and Sharon, USA

2025 – Birding Report Ecuador: Ecuador Birds Tours deserves all the stars!

★★★★★

"You will be one of the family as soon as you start your conversations with Ecuador Birds Tours. We went for 10 days of birdwatching and 5 days in Galapagos. Ecuador Birds Tours was outstanding every minute of every day. The staff was attentive without being intimidating, the service was top-notch, the birder guides were well-informed and expert, always willing to go the extra mile to make sure you had a wonderful experience. We visited several of the family's reserves and birding lodges and they were all outstanding and dedicated to warm hospitality, great birding experiences and the preservation and conservation of the ecosystem of the Eastern and Western slopes of the Andes. Our only regret was that our time was so short. Would recommend Ecuador Birds Tours to anyone thinking about a birding trip to South America" Pari and Charles, USA

2025 – Birding Report Ecuador: 400 Lifes in Southern Ecuador!

★★★★★

"Jorge really knows his birds! He has a fantastic ear as well! The birds don’t seem to care if it is raining. We probably missed a few forest ground birds, but we did see almost 400 different species and a whole lot of them for the first time. The lodges were all wonderful, well equipped, friendly staff and great local food. We were over fed everywhere.We did miss one lodge due to road closure, but we felt lucky that we got to all the others! The last lodge ,at 11,500 feet, was spectacular!! With piles of wonderful food and postres and a room with an incredible view! We will highly recommend Ecuador Birds Tours if anyone asks!! - Sally Fellows, USA
