“We have taken 2 weeks bird photography tour with Ecuador Birds Tours in January 2026 to central Ecuador. It was a very good trip and we have taken many great pictures. The lodges were on a very good level and the food was excellent. Ecuador Birds Tours organised everything perfectly so that it will be unforgetable eperience for us. Ecuador has a lot to offer and for sure is worth to go” Ting

“With ECUADOR BIRDS TOURS, every day was special – the places visited, the species of birds, mammals, interesting insects, plants…like the attitude and professionalism of the guides and staff… Each place had unique architecture and wonderful facilities, especially HACIENDA JIMENITA! An amazing place. The selected locations and opportunities for bird watching and photography, as well as the local guides, exceeded my expectations. The food was superb, no exaggeration!!! All days I felt in heaven! Thanks to ECUADOR BIRDS TOURS! You guys are great and I would come back to you again and again!” Svetoslav and Danalain

“We booked with Ecuador Birds Tours for 8 days birding in the cloud forest and high elevations around Quito and 8 days cruising in the Galapagos. The Quito itinerary was very well conceived to give us maximum birding in a range of habitats and three beautiful lodges. Freddie and Daniel were outstanding guides with a vast knowledge of the areas we were in. We were entranced with the beauty of the landscape and and incredible birdlife, and logged approximately 50 species of hummingbirds, 30 species of tanagers, trogons, toucans, and so much more. All the logistics, such as airport transfers for the galapagos, etc. were seamless. The range of options for the galapagos gave us the opportunity for an affordable trip with an Ecuadorian company and exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend Ecuador Birds Tours for your next birding trip, and be sure to book a trip to the Galapagos as long as you are there!” Moira Smith

“Our 15 day tour was exceptional! Communication with the company was immediate and their attention to detail exceeded our expectations. The local guides used throughout the tour helped us find the birds quickly. Our main guides Daniel and Miguel were excellent drivers, phenomenal birders and very entertaining. All of the accommodations offered great amenities and good birding opportunities right outside your door. We found 440 species- most offering great photo opportunities as well! We highly recommend considering Ecuador Birds Tours for your vacation to Ecuador!!”. Colette and Kris

“It was an absolutely amazing experience! All the guides were excellent, constantly spotting new birds for us. Throughout the trip, we encountered about 350 species of wild birds, plus many other creatures. The accommodations were also excellent, ensuring a comfortable stay. The airport transfers were smooth, making for a completely hassle-free trip. We’ve only scratched the surface of Ecuador’s natural wonders. We would love to use your services again”. Ryosuke

“We have a 20 days North Ecuador birding tour with Ecuador Bird Tours. These 20 days are tightly packed and full of excitement, enjoyable experience. We have 3 different bird guides Fredy, Danilo and Marcelo in different regions. All of them are professional bird guides, able to look for many of our target birds, and identify birds able to see or just able to hear. Accommodation and meal arrangements are comfortable and located best for bird watching. Too many good points, highly recommended.” Jimmy Lee

“We had a wonderful experience with Ecuador Bird Tours. The guides, Daniel and Danilo, were terrific. They were both very knowledgeable and personable. They made it feel like you were birding with friends. All of the lodges we stayed at were excellent. The rooms were all comfortable and spacious. The food was awesome. We had a wide variety of food and all of it was tasty. The trip was very well organized by Diego. He was great about checking on how the trip was going. He listened to what we wanted to see and did a great job booking the appropriate reserves. We would highly recommend booking a trip with Ecuador Bird tours. We will definitely be booking additional trips.” Todd

“A two day experience with Ecuador Birds Tours in May (prior to a trip to the Galapagos) was enough inspiration to return for a 21 day birding trip in November! Thank you Diego for arranging a fantastic trip with 545 bird species observed. Special thanks to Freddy, Danilo and Carlos for guiding us throughout the trip and it was great to cross paths with Miguel again! Food, lodging and flexible logistics were fantastic. We were a mixture of hard core birders and photographers on this trip and the balance between birding and photography was a nice blend keeping everyone happy. I look forward to returning to Ecuador to explore the Southern region! I highly recommend Ecuador Birds Tours”. Nick Hamill
