Ebro Delta Express Birding Tour, Catalonia, Spain

Ebro Delta Birdwatching Tour

The Ebro Delta Express Birding tour is our shortest multi-day guided option and is aimed at people who have limited time available but are seeking an action-packed two days guided birding experience.

You will be collected from Barcelona International Airport on arrival and taken to your accommodation, our private villa situated right on the doorstep of the Ebro Delta. After breakfast on day 1 of the tour, we will be heading out on a driven day tour of the Ebro Delta, taking in the best birding sites both north and south of the Ebro river. The second day of the tour will see us get an early start as we visit Mas de Bunyol, to see feeding Griffon Vultures in the morning. After returning to the delta, we will head out for an afternoon/evening boat tour of the Ebro river culminating in a fantastic bird roost accompanied by a spectacular sunset over the river. On departure day we will drop you back at the airport in good time for your return flight home.
