More Information & Itinerary
Whether you’re a seasoned birder chasing lifers or a curious newcomer looking to connect with nature, this Custom Full Day Birding Tour offers a personalized and unforgettable visit to the diverse ecosystems of the Vancouver region. From coastal estuaries teeming with shorebirds to lush forests full of passerines, this flexible tour is tailored to your interests, skill level, and target species.
Each tour is curated based on seasonal highlights, recent sightings, and your personal goals.

I provide high-quality optics, transportation to top birding hotspots, and insight into bird behavior, calls, and habitats. Whether you want to improve your ID skills, build your life list, or simply enjoy a few peaceful hours immersed in nature, this is your opportunity to experience Greater Vancouver’s wild side—on your terms.
