About this tour

Use a private four-hour session to concentrate on Dominica’s endemic parrots and other rainforest birds. The outing is centred on suitable habitat in the Syndicate and Morne Diablotin area, with the precise trail chosen for current access, weather and the traveller’s priorities.

Stephen Durand brings long field experience to this focused format. The Caribbean Birding Trail records birding from 1983 and guiding from 1985, a Forestry and Wildlife Division career beginning in 1981, parrot research supported by WWF and coauthorship of Dominica’s Birds.

Imperial Birding offers half-day, full-day and multi-day guiding shaped to the client. For this shorter option, the confirmed pickup point, start time, party size, price and exact forest route are supplied in the response to an inquiry. Wild bird activity varies and no named species is guaranteed.
