We are committed to offering personalized, high-quality tours that showcase the island’s unique bird species, all while contributing to the conservation of their habitats.
Who We Are
Island Birdwatchers is proudly locally owned and operated, distinguishing us from other tour operators by offering an authentic, insider’s perspective on Puerto Rico’s birding hotspots. Our company is led by a dedicated team of biologists, ecologists, and expert birders who share a deep passion for the natural beauty of our island. With years of experience in the field, our guides are intimately familiar with Puerto Rico’s birds, their behaviors, and the diverse habitats they call home.
What We Do
We specialize in small-group birding tours, designed to provide an intimate and immersive experience in some of Puerto Rico’s most spectacular natural areas. Our tours are tailored for both seasoned birders and newcomers alike, with itineraries that explore a wide range of habitats—from coastal wetlands and mangroves to forested cordilleras and montane forests. Along the way, our expert guides share their deep knowledge of the island’s endemic species, Caribbean specialties, and the important conservation work being done to protect these birds.
Our Commitment to Conservation
At the heart of Island Birdwatchers is a strong commitment to conservation. As a company owned by biologists and ecologists, we are acutely aware of the challenges facing many of Puerto Rico’s bird species. That’s why we proudly donate 5% of our profits to local bird conservation initiatives, helping to protect and preserve the habitats that these incredible creatures depend on. By choosing Island Birdwatchers, you’re not only embarking on an unforgettable birding adventure but also contributing to the ongoing efforts to safeguard Puerto Rico’s natural heritage for future generations.
