Although we are including three different alternatives for our birding trips at El Yunque, this could change from time to time due to COVID-19 restrictions. Please email us before booking to make sure that the birding trip will be available. When you book a birding trip to El Yunque, you will let us know if you want a private trips or if you want to share. Since our permits are for a minimum of four people, private trips require the payment for the four birding spots. Henceforth, either if you are a solo traveler or have a group of four participants, the price of the trip is the same. This principle applies to bird photography, all bird photography trips, either half or full day, are considered private birding birding trips. We use other routes for this type of activity. On-demand birding trips are those where you will like to share the trip with other birders. These are not bird photography trips. You choose the date of a half-day or a full day birding trip and we open the date for other birders that will like to join you. A non-refundable payment for one person will be required as the minimum for this type of trip is two people. If the minimum is not reached, you will be required to pay for the minimum of two people. If you are joining a preexisting on-demand birding trip, the departure time has been chosen by the original booking party. This type of trip will be announce as a SHARED/PUBLIC/OPEN birding trip. Public events are those scheduled on a specific date as an special offer or that the logistics allows us to offer it as such. These public events require a minimum of 4 participants and a maximum of 10. You meet your guide on site. If you need transfers, please as for quote. |

Due to the number of people visiting El Yunque National Forest during the Holy Week/Weekend (Wednesday through Sunday, including Good Friday and Easter) and the month of July, we DO NOT OFFER tours to El Yunque other than the Night Hike and/or Ancestral Areyto. Access to the Forest is limited and we cannot guarantee the quality during those days. |
El Yunque is closed on December 25th. |
"Hilda is great. She knows her birds and her calls. She moves at a different pace than the typical guide, working deliberate and meticulous to get your target birds. During our outing I was able to pick up a dozen lifers including the PR Lizard Cuckoo, Oriole, and Tanager. In addition, Hilda put me on a spot to get the PR Screech Owl the following day." Brandon Trentler |
With the new booking system used by Forest Service, it is easier to go to the lower level of the Forest as reservations are not needed. As a company with special permits to do business at the Forest, we also need to make reservations, that is why we ask for two weeks for the upper level bookings. We recommend to contact us on the phone first to discuss your best option. We are available from Monday through Friday, 2:00 PM to 9:00 PM. |
