Los Haitises National Park Birding Tour from Punta Cana
Make a private full-day journey from Punta Cana to the karst forest and wetlands of Los Haitises for regional specialities and Ridgway’s Hawk.
About this tour
Los Haitises brings broadleaf and karst forest together with mangrove and wetland habitat, making it one of the Dominican Republic’s major birding areas. This private day starts before dawn from Punta Cana so the guided route can cover both forest birds and species associated with water.
Ridgway’s Hawk is a central priority, supported by searches for Broad-billed Tody, Hispaniolan Amazon and Lizard-Cuckoo, Palmchat and Vervain Hummingbird. West Indian Whistling-Duck and Black-crowned Palm-Tanager add wetland and forest possibilities.
