Birdwatching and wildlife

Where and how to watch birds and wildlife in the Caribbean - responsibly.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need binoculars for Caribbean birdwatching?

Yes, a pair of 8x or 10x binoculars helps a lot. A local guide usually carries a telescope for distant birds.

How do I watch wildlife responsibly?

Keep your distance from nests and roosts, stay on trails, never feed wildlife and keep recorded bird calls to a minimum.

Is birdwatching good for beginners?

Yes. Start with easy, colourful birds such as hummingbirds and ibis, and go out early in the morning with a guide.
