Inclusions: 

 

  • The Tour package includes all lodging, meals*, and access fees to reserves, parks, and other birding sites. 

  • Premier Bird Guide: All of our tours use the services of an excellent bird guide, often a well-recognized expert on birding in this area. 

  • Top-Rated Preparation Services: We support your preparation for the trip. We provide information on the birds you will see and all the travel details, including all logistical details (arrival plans, trip itinerary, lodging details, and more), information on entry into Ecuador, and information on travel health issues, packing information, and more. Most of our clients comment that our Trip Participation Guide is the best they have ever seen. 

  • Transport and Airport Transfers

    • Local ground transport is included. 

    • We also have a driver or guide pick you up at the airport upon arrival, and we arrange for a transfer back to the airport at the end of the trip. This tour includes four airport transfers, and all are included. 

  • Acre for Bird Conservation: As part of our efforts to support bird conservation, we purchase in the name of customers (for each booking) at least one acre (but averaging between three and four acres) of wilderness to support bird conservation. As our trip prices are often 20% (and often even a better deal) less than our competition, this does not cost you more, and it is a great way to support bird conservation around the world.

  • Small Group Pricing: We can run this Amazon extension with any group size. We do keep group sizes to under eight participants.

  • Private and Custom Group Pricing: We are glad to provide pricing for smaller groups (including couples) or custom groups.

 

*Pricing Notes and More Details:

 

  • US Dollar Pricing: Ecuador does use US Dollars as its currency, and trip prices are fixed in US Dollars.

  • Pricing in British Pounds: (1) Our 2027 (and late 2026) price estimates are mostly based on US Dollars, so our GBP/British Pound pricing is based upon an exchange rate of .75 GBP (British Pound) per US Dollar (the exchange rate average over the last year). (2) We will charge you the actual transaction rate here, but please note that we work to minimize transaction costs. Using Transferwise, we usually pay under one-half a percent (and sometimes less) on the actual exchange. (3) Due to costs related to UK travel regulations, our tours booked and paid through BlueTailBirding.com (for the UK and European clients) include a surcharge of £100* more. Please contact us anytime with questions here.   

  • Bank Fees: We do not charge bank fees for wire transfers for clients paying into our accounts in the United States, the United Kingdom, and/or Canada.

  • Note on Meal Inclusion: Meals include three meals per day during any full day of the trip. The arrival in Coca (day 1) includes lunch and supper. Then all meals through to lunch on Day 5.  

  • Note on Beverage Inclusion: Most of our meals are provided by the lodges, and we follow their practices in providing beverages at mealtime. Breakfast usually includes coffee or tea and/or juice (as provided by the lodge), and box lunches include either bottled water or juice. Other beverages served at supper are your choice and are an additional expense that you pay to the restaurant directly. We provide water at the table for supper. We also provide bottled water during the birding day.

  • Group Size: We can run this Amazon extension with any group size. We do keep group sizes to under eight participants.

    

Optional Costs for Booking the Trip:

 

Single Room Supplement: The single supplement is the price we charge for the additional cost of anyone not sharing a room with another birder (and/or a spouse). The 2026 single supplement costs $630 USD $630 USD (£470*), and 2027 lodging inflation raised this price to $790 USD (£590*). If you want a single room, please let us know. We can find roommates for those wishing to share a room in many situations.
