Bird watching holidays are a hip new way to vacation. Here’s what you need to know about bird watching holidays.
Why would I ever take a bird watching holiday?
Well, if you’re a person who enjoys having fun and likes to be outside, you might just want to look into booking yourself on one of many great bird watching holidays. The great thing about bird watching holidays is that you can literally pick any vacation destination. You can go north, south, east, west, hot or cold, it really doesn’t matter.
When you go on bird watching holidays you don’t have to sit around and watch birds the whole time either. You can choose a place that has other activities, such as snorkeling, hiking and backpacking. You can even go to a place that’s close to a city just in case you want to hang around city birds for a while.
Who goes on bird watching holidays?
Anybody really. People of all ages are capable of bird watching so slap a hat on grandpa and some sunscreen on the toddler and get on a plane! Kids, by nature, are less patient than adults, but they will get excited about bird watching holidays. They like to be outside and new things are fun and exciting. However, if you’re really seeking out rare birds, you might want to leave the kids at home. Though they’re curious, they’re also loud and the birds can hear them a mile away.
When should I go on a bird watching holiday?
Thanks to the advent of airplanes and credit cards, you can literally go on bird watching holidays whenever you feel like it. All it takes is some money, time and a sense of adventure.
Be forewarned that going on bird watching holidays is not cheap. Plane tickets can be expensive, especially if you plan on taking a holiday overseas. Also, if you’re new to bird watching or new to the area that you plan on visiting for you holiday, you might want to sign yourself up for a bird watching tour. These are not super cheap, but they’re really invaluable.
There are ways to make your bird watching holidays cheaper. Be open to flying on cheaper airlines and be wiling to fly out on less desirable days during off hours. You can also decide to stay in hotels (make sure the place you’re going has them) or you can decide to camp. Staying in the country for your holiday may be cheaper, but that’s not always the case as traveling expenses for your bird watching holidays may be reduced when you travel to countries that have a lower cost of living.
