Birding Tarifa was the first bird watching tour company registered in Tarifa and specialises in raptor migration and other birding tours around the Strait of Gibraltar, Cadiz, Doñana and Morocco.
The Strait of Gibraltar is one of the best birdwatching areas in Europe. There are several reasons why we work in the Strait, but the migration of migratory birds every year is really the principal attraction.
“Bird migration across the Strait of Gibraltar is one of those experiences that any birder shouldn´t miss…”
Tarifa and the surrounding areas, such as La Janda Wetland, Alcornocales Natural Park (Cork Oak Forest), Bay of Cadiz, Doñana and Morocco just 14 km away, offer top birding and wildlife opportunities all year round apart from the spectacular raptor migration.
Having several years of experience guiding, Birding Tarifa offers a vast local knowledge of the region, we love our land and how wildlife, history and heritage come all together in this amazing area between two continents, the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.
Manuel Morales (professional ornithologist and expert bird ringer by Doñana Biological Station), our chief guide of the company, Birding Tarifa´s team is formed by highly qualified guides who love their job.
A group of our local experts will assist you in planning your trip or helping with your enquiries about birds, raptor migration, wildlife, culture, accommodation and other questions regarding this fantastic bird and wildlife paradise.
In addition to leading our own tours, we offer our local knowledge to other birding and wildlife companies to run tours in partnership. Nowadays we are working with English, Scottish, Norwegian, Finish and German companies among others.
