Marvelous Spatueltail Tours - Birding in Comfort.

Welcome to Kolibri Expeditions''s new concept for birders with higher demands on the services given - we proudly introduce Marvelous Spatuletail Tours

With Marvelous Spatuletail Tours you know that you will have the best there is and that the pace will be set to comply with your needs.

The hotels are generally of very high standards. The vehicles are comfortanble and in very good condition. The food is prepared by our cook or in good restaurants. We cater for vegetarians with varied courses.

Marvelous Spatuletail Tours involve longer stays at each site to limit driving at night and to extend access times to the birding locality in the morning. This will certainly mean that the pace will be slower, but also that the risk of missing key species will be less. There will be additional chances for most species, not just one shot. This also gives more time for people who are into bird photography and digi-scoping

On a Marvelous Spatuletail Tour trip it is ok to be a slow or poor walker. We don´t do strenuous hikes on most programs.
The guides for Marvelous Spatuletail Tours have years of experience in the Neotropics. They also have good communicational skills and broad knowledge of the country they work in and its people, customs, natural history and history.

Though you will hardly ever encounter problems during your trip, our guides are well prepared to handle the unexpected.

Most of our Kolibri Expeditions trips can be upgraded to include a higher level of comfort.
