We will look for Razorbills, Great Shearwater, Red Phalarope, Boreal Chickadee, White-winged Crossbill, thousands of migrating Semipalmated Sandpipers, as well as Humpback and other whales.

“Beautiful locations. Very knowledgeable guides. Stunning views of shorebirds. A bit challenging for less experienced birders to see songbirds.”

“Jared Clarke was very disengaged throughout this trip. He and the life birds I might see were the main reason I took this trip so that was disappointing. Sarah was enthusiastic and fun, helping find some of those life birds. Lodging on Gran Manan at the Marathon Inn was TERRIBLE.”

Hi Monica. Thank-you for submitting your feedback for this tour. Please note that we no longer stay at the hotel in question after receiving feedback that it was inadequate. Unfortunately Jared had received some sad family news shortly before starting the tour and he was not his usual self. He is a very accomplished birder and a fantastic guide and we are sorry that in this instance you were not able to experience him at his best. As a small business with over 25 years of experience, we greatly value our customers' feedback in helping us enhance our tours. We hope to take you on another trip in the future!

“This tour combines birding with whale watching. The birding includes woodland and seashore species. Birding on Grant Manan Island is a highlight. The birding guides were excellent and ensured that everyone saw their target species, along with some we were surprised to see.”
