Explora Ecotour

Explora Ecotour is a Santo Domingo-based operator running private birding tours throughout the Dominican Republic, a country with the Caribbean's highest endemic bird count. Departures are available from Santo Domingo, Punta Cana, Bayahibe, La Romana, Puerto Plata, Sosua, and Cabarete, with itineraries from single-day excursions to seven-day overnight packages. The team targets Hispaniolan endemics in pristine forest habitats, aiming for rare and range-restricted species rather than ticking common Caribbean birds. Tours are private and pitched to serious birders willing to travel well off the beaten path.
