Customer Experiences

“This was my second trip with Ecuador Birds Tours and it was another great experience. The goal was to explore deeper into the Amazon to get some new bird photos. We started at Hacienda, Antisana Condors, then worked our way east. Limoncocha and the surrounding area was filled with a great array of species, including the white-lored antpitta. From Coca, a boat ride up the Napo took me to Sacha Nampi, deep into the Amazon. Diego was responsive throughout the whole experience, as usual. I’m looking forward to a third trip with Diego and Ecuador Birds Tours! “ – Chuck Carney.

“I just returned from a birding trip to Ecuador that surpassed every expectation! Ecuador is a nature-lover’s paradise with its majestic Andean mountains and beautiful Amazon rainforest. In total, we saw over 300 species of birds. Ecuador Birds Tours did an excellent job of planning and carrying out our trip and were highly professional in every way. In addition to the amazing birds, our organizers gave us a culinary experience by serving us traditional Ecuadorian dishes each day. Thank you, Ecuador Birds Tours, for an absolutely fantastic trip. I hope to return someday! – Annie.

“We really cannot say enough about our experience with Ecuadorbirdtours. This was a wonderful experience. Diego had everything planned for our guide down to the smallest detail. On the birding side, each of our group members added over 300 life birds on the trip and over 400 birds overall in the 11 days we actually birded in equator. Enjoying the local people and their dedication to conservation. We truly hope we can visit more of the country with this amazing company in the future” Steve and Rebecca.

“I just returned from Ecuador and spent an amazing day birding with Miguel outside Quito. Ecuador Birds Tours was amazing from start to finish. Diego responded quickly to my initial inquiry and made the booking process easy. I ended up choosing the Andean Cock of the Rock, Toucans and Alambi Hummingbird Paradise day trip and could not be happier with the experience. Thank you for a great day!” – Richard.

“My 7-day custom bird photography tour with Ecuador Birds Tours last month was really exceptional! I traveled solo, and Diego was so responsive to my enquiries, wishes, and preferences regarding where I wanted to go and what I wanted to do and see. The accommodations were so picturesque and full of local color, the food was delicious, and the quantity and variety of birds was beyond my expectations. So many beautiful hummingbirds and other avian species! I took nearly 20,000 photographs in seven days! Overall, this was the best bird photography experience I’ve had in numerous international trips over the past several years. I heartily recommend Ecuador Birds Tours! – Kristin.

“Diego and the team at Ecuador Birds Tours planned and executed a terrific birding experience for us. We’ve been birding in other countries, but this was our first trip to mainland Ecuador. Diego and his guides Ivan and Daniel made sure that we saw the iconic birds of Ecuador…over 300 species! The lodges that we used were all top notch with excellent food and birding experiences supported by local guides. We couldn’t have asked for more on our first trip to Ecuador. We will be back!” – Kelly.

“This was our second trip with this company, and they still make their tours unforgettable. The planning is flawless, the birds are amazing, and every detail is taken care of. The guides, food, accommodations are all excellent. The people there truly care about you and that you are happy with everything. Ecuador and Ecuador Birds Tours are fantastic, and we recommend them to everyone. You will not be disappointed “ – Cher Campbell.

“Diego from Ecuador Birds Tour planned a 31 day privately guided tour for the two of us. All accommodations, transportation, birding guides, and private reserves were excellent and organized efficiently. We travelled through numerous environments including the Amazon rain forest, east and west slopes around Quito, pristine undisturbed forests, and the high elevation paramo. Fredy was our birding guide for most of the trip and his birding expertise was fantastic. He could hear and locate birds in the canopy as well as the understory, and we were constantly amazed at his abilities. We highly recommend using their expertise in arranging a birding tour to Ecuador.” -John and Donna.
