Recommended Tour Operators

We are proud partners of the following tour operators. Each company offers high quality birding and nature tours in the Caribbean, plus they donate part of the proceeds of each tour they give to BirdsCaribbean in support of bird conservation in the region.

Wildside Nature Tours has been offering quality birding and wildlife adventures worldwide since 1993. Their group sizes are small (6-8) and they carefully select their accommodations in-country, opting to be as close to wildlife as possible! They look for ways to support local businesses and organizations, many of which are associated with local nature preserves. Their Caribbean specialist is Gabriel Lugo, a native of Puerto Rico, and an expert in the birds of several Caribbean islands, including Cuba, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Trinidad, and of course, Puerto Rico!

Ryan Chenery was born and raised on Barbados and formed Birding the Islands in order to share with the world the phenomenally bio-diverse and breathtakingly beautiful islands where he has birded his whole life - the magical Lesser Antilles. He will get you to the very best sites to see the more than 40 endemic and near-endemic in this part of the Caribbean. You will get close to stunning and often critically endangered endemics like the Whistling Warbler in St. Vincent, the majestic Imperial Parrot in Dominica, the dazzling Purple-throated Carib and bemusing Gray Trembler on St.Lucia, the flame-breasted Montserrat Oriole on the “emerald isle” of Montserrat and rarest of them all, the gentle, unassuming Grenada Dove, still found serenely walking the pathways in the only area of suitable habitat remaining on the spice isle of Grenada.

Carefree Birding’s philosophy is to have fun. Their excursions are slow-paced, physically easy, and fun-filled. On select cruises, they invite expert birding guides to join you. They also arrange birding field trips with local environmental non-profits at each port of call and 100% of the money collected for the tours will go to those local groups. Traveling with someone who is not a birder? No problem! There will be plenty of activities onboard the cruise ship and other shore excursions available to keep everyone happy.

What We Do

Through birds we connect you to the extraordinary places, diverse cultures and people of the Caribbean.

There are countless fascinating stories to be told through birds. Discover an island's bird life, and you will discover Caribbean heritage.

Presenting the 2nd smallest bird in the world, the Vervain Hummingbird. Weighing in at 2g & 6cm long (including that dinky, 1cm bill), this is one of the cutest birds I have ever seen. Found only in Jamaica, Haiti & the Dominican Republic. So smol! 😍 pic.twitter.com/9TsT…

A shockingly beautiful Jamaican endemic hummingbird, the Jamaican Mango transforms from looking all-black when backlit to glowing hot pink and purple with a turn of its head. The magic of hummingbird feather iridescence! pic.twitter.com/BDzl…

The enormous endemic Chestnut-bellied Cuckoo is almost twice as long as its Yellow-billed cousin, and uses its robust bill to hunt lizards in forest. In the arid shrublands of Hellshire we encountered groups of insectivorous Smooth-billed Anis with even more gigantic bills (2/2) pic.twitter.com/icHb…

I went cuckoo for cuckoos in Jamaica. One of two endemic species, this Jamaican Lizard Cuckoo gave us a show fanning its tail and giving territorial calls. (1/2) pic.twitter.com/tBbT…
