Nestling Family Trips provide
services to support interesting birding and
fun family vacations. We aim to meet the
travel and vacation needs of birders with
children.

Many birders have young children and simply want to find a
way to “bring them along”. Nestling Family Trips provide
birding tours for the whole family. We want birders to bring
their children along and cultivate the study of birds and the
joy of birding in their children.

The Advantages of Nestling Family Trips to
Birders and Their Families:

Professional Bird Guides: Nestling Tours provide
access to professional bird guides while you are on
vacation. It is sometimes difficult to hire guides who
are willing to have children along. Nestling Tours has
found excellent and experienced bird guides who are
willing (and excited) about the opportunity to bird with
families with children.
Children Learn to Enjoy Birding: Our Outdoor
Instructors allow children to learn more about birds,
wildlife, the outdoors, natural history and science so
they can learn to enjoy birding.
Family Birding Excursions: Family birding
excursions allow families to go birding together with
their children and share bird study with their children.
These excursions will be supported by professional
bird guides and will often include the Outdoor
Instructors. Outdoor Instructors can help children find
and identify birds and learn more about the outdoors.
Our Instructors can work with children at their pace,
allowing more birding by parents.
Parent Birding Excursions: In some cases, while
the Outdoor Instructors have engaged the children in
educational and recreational activities, the parents
will have the chance to bird without their children with
the professional bird guide.
Flexibility to Meet Family Vacation Needs: Our trips
will allow flexibility to fit other family vacation needs.
During some periods of our trips, we have allowed
time for families to be together without the rest of the
group so that families can choose other activities
besides birding. Our trips are designed to take up
only part of the family vacation week. Optional days
allow families to choose other family vacation
activities.

If you have dreamed of vacations allowing great birding
experiences along with an enjoyable family vacation, please
contact us (1-888-203-7464 or by email at
travel@nestlingtours.com.) and let us figure out how we can
meet your family’s birding and vacation needs.

Covey of Adults trips provide services
to support interesting birding vacations for
small groups of adults.

The Advantages of Birding with a Covey of
Adults:

Group Size Balance: Birding in small groups allows
every birder to have the opportunity to see nearly every
bird on the trip --- keeping the trip productive for all
participants. Sharing the costs of guides and other
trip costs, keeps trips affordable. We balance these
needs with group sizes of six to ten.
Best Local Bird Guides: Based upon our birding
experiences and the reputation of local guides,
Nestling Tours assures we have the best local
guides. Paying for the best local guides often
assures seeing dozens more birds each day on our
international trips. By sharing these costs with a
small group, the additional costs per day rarely
exceeds the cost of a movie.
Flexibility to Meet Your Vacation Needs: Our trips
often allow some flexibility to fit your vacation
schedule and other trip needs. We often offer
extensions to our trips, allowing you to get the most
benefit from the trip. A selection of shorter base trips
allows you to find a trip which meets you bird-
watching desires and which best fit your vacation
schedule. We often can offer single accomodations
or more affordable shared rooms. We are always
willing to work with you to address your needs.
Trip Hosts: Our trip hosts have experience with
guiding bird trips and keeping trip participants
together to assure an excellent birding trip. Many
members of the Covey find it helpful to have someone
to ask questions and address problems which may
arise with international travel.

If you enjoy bird watching on your vacations and enjoy
exploring natural areas, please contact us to join any of our
scheduled trips. Please contact us (1-888-203-7464 or by
email at travel@nestlingtours.com.) and let us figure out how
we can meet your family’s birding and vacation needs.

Also, we are happy to provide any small group planning and
support services to enjoy bird watching in locations in which
we have experience and expertise.
