Discover the Birdwatcher’s Paradise on Boa Vista Island!
If you’re a bird enthusiast, Boa Vista is the place to be! With over 20 native species breeding on the island and dozens of migratory species passing through from late September to late May, this is a haven for birdwatching.
On a 4-hour tour, you’ll explore diverse habitats—wetlands for waders, dune fields and inland plains for steppe birds like larks, and coastal cliffs for stunning red-billed tropic birds. Expect to observe an average of 20-25 bird species in just half a day!
Some of the most sought-after species include:
Cream-colored Courser (Cursorius cursor)
Greater Hoopoe Lark (Alaemon alaudipes)
Cape Verde Swift (Apus alexandri)
Helmeted Guineafowl (Numida meleagris)
We provide professional binoculars for up-close observations, and your expert nature guide will share fascinating insights into the island’s unique birdlife. Keep in mind, bird diversity and abundance can vary with weather conditions—adding an element of surprise to your adventure!
