Rainforest Adventures: Bird Watching Tour

Our ecotourism park in St. Lucia is home to several endemic species and some of the regions most intriguing birdlife, from the tropical hummingbird to migratory kestrel. The La Sorciere forest reserve is a favored environment for many of them and ideal for birding in St. Lucia. The bird watching tour is one of the St. Lucia attractions designed to engage everyone from the serious birder to the casual enthusiast. The tour sets off just after sunrise to ensure the best sightings. Experienced Nature Interpreters guide you through the forest pointing out signature calls and keeping eyes peeled for even the most elusive of birds. The Amazona Versicolor, St. Lucias national symbol, makes this forest its home, though it is notoriously bashful. In flight, there is nothing more magnificent than the St. Lucia Oriole, with its yellow/orange markings especially dramatic against its black plumage. In no short supply are three varieties of hummingbird, the Banana Quit, and the Pewee, all of which animate the forest canopy. The birding St. Lucia hike is moderate in difficulty, the ascent is gradual and there are rest points along the way.
