    12 day birding and photography tour

    2026
    USA

    We enjoyed 12 days with Ecuador Bird Tours and found the trip we did excellent. Our guides were very knowledgeable and capable with great eyes and ears ! They quickly identified what we were seeing and pointed out the unusual birds from the regular species. They went out of their way to find some species and helped us get great photos. Our driver was very respectful and careful on the roads, we felt very safe. The lodges we stayed in were lovely with good rooms and we ate very well. There is a very new and special condor observation site in Antisana that we enjoyed”. Richard and Pat Morris, Canada

    Rewarding and high quality birding tailored to your particular wants and needs

    2026
    USA

    We were relieved to discover that Ecuador Birds Tours was able to accommodate our desire for a private 10-day trip to the Andes. After we submitted our list of target species, Diego Cruz made adjustments to their normal tour. We were very impressed to learn about the significant role that Ecuador Birds Tours played in the creation of the Condor Observatory. We highly recommend Ecuador Birds Tours if you are looking for a quality and rewarding birding experience tailored to your particular wants and needs.” Vicki, USA

    Amazing amount of birds in 3 different habitats

    2026
    USA

    Diego delivered on giving us a great experience in 3 different habitats and the target birds we came to see. The accommodations were really nice, the food was great including some authentic dishes in certain locations and the guides were experts. From the Andes, to the Cloud Forest with Miguel and finish in Napo Wildlife Center our experience in the Amazon. The birds were incredible. Toucans to nun birds to cuckoos and a great view of the Harpy Eagle. We will use Diego again when we return to see other parts of this really beautiful country”. Corinna, USA

    Two week birding tour February 2026

    2026
    United Kingdom

    ” I organised a return birding trip to Ecuador for friends – 8 of us in total. I’ve been leading and organizing my own tours for just short of 50 years, traveled to well over 100 countries and have a life list of 7,250+. Ecuador Bird tours did a great job in meeting my requests. I got 80+ lifers, we saw c.500 species including 70+ Hummingbird species and iconic birds such as Condors, Hoatzin and Cock-of-the-Rock – everyone was happy! Every place we visited had a subtly different avifauna and a lodge or two that had the most magnificent array of feeders for Hummers, Tanagers, Antpittas and more. I’d recommend Ecuador Bird Tours to anyone wanting a good birding trip in Ecuador – whether for keen listers or total beginners – I’m sure they’ll organize something that fits and works well”.

    Superb Custom Birding Tour East from Quito

    2026
    USA

    Ecuador Birds Tours provided an outstanding custom tour east from Quito over the high Andes and down to mid-elevation montane forest. Guide Marcelo Andy used his experienced ears and eyes to locate over 225 species in just 5 days. He was always friendly and accommodating while driving safely through the mountains. Communication during the entire process was always prompt, clear, and efficient. Diego Cruz and his company receive the highest recommendation from this very satisfied bird and photographer.” Andrew Fix
