PHILIPPINES 2026 -
Off the beaten track birding tour!

 Welcome to our Philippine Endemics Birding Expedition where we explore the unparalleled avian diversity of the Philippines on our exclusive 20-day birding tour, designed for passionate birdwatchers seeking rare endemics and breathtaking natural encounters. As one of the world's top biodiversity hotspots, the Philippines hosts over 700 bird species, with more than 250 unique to its islands—many of which are vulnerable or critically endangered. Starting in Manila on 9th March, this adventure whisks you across Luzon, Bohol, Negros and Mindoro, targeting must-see species like stunning Indigo-backed Kingfishers, elusive Whiskered Pitta, Critically Endangered Isabela Oriole, and vibrant Scarlet-collared Flowerpecker. From the urban-adjacent La Mesa Ecopark near Manila, where we'll pursue the Ashy Thrush and Spotted Wood Kingfisher, to the misty trails of Mt. Banahaw for Bicol Ground Warbler and Flame-breasted Fruit-Dove; the northern wonders of Kalbario-Patapat Natural Park for Cordillera Ground Warbler and Blue-breasted Blue Flycatcher; the lush forests of Bohol's Rajah Sikatuna National Park for Visayan Broadbill and Samar Hornbill; Negros' high-elevation specialists like Negros Striped Babbler at Mt. Talinis; and Mindoro's dense rainforests for Mindoro Bleeding-heart and Mindoro Hornbill—each day unfolds with expert-guided explorations of diverse habitats, including rainforests, wetlands, mountains, and coastal areas. Whether you're a seasoned birder or new to the thrill of spotting rarities, our tour offers comfortable accommodations, seamless domestic flights and transfers, and a focus on conservation-aware birding. Join us to immerse yourself in the Philippines' stunning landscapes and extraordinary wildlife, culminating on March 28th in Manila. So why not book your spot for an unforgettable journey into the heart of this endemic bird paradise!
