Founded in 1998 by owner and lead guide, Peg Abbott, Naturalist Journeys is a top nature and birding tour company. Our guides are naturalists, ornithologists, biologists, entomologists, geologists, photographers, artists, and more. Collectively, we treasure birding, nature, travel, good food, and good company―our inspiration in designing unique travel opportunities. We are committed to conservation, follow Responsible Travel guidelines and give generously to the places we visit.
Each year we offer nearly 200 tours worldwide, yet we are a small team with a big heart. We excel in personal service; we craft tours with care and we've been woman-owned and operated since 1998. Where possible, we use the talents and insights of local guides, we select local eco-lodges and foods, we encourage community engagement, and we often venture off the beaten track, bringing valuable revenue to remote locations. We work tirelessly to ensure that our trips benefit the communities in which we travel, and we make donations for each tour to assist local conservation efforts.
We think of our clients as family and friends, and they return to travel with us again and again. You won’t find us flying through our bird lists, checking off target birds and moving on. We relish the art of nature travel, savoring our experience with each creature and landscape, while enjoying the camaraderie of like-minded travelers.
