We are proud to share this Lanzarote birdwatching eco insider tour with Lanzarote visitors. We specialise in Lanzarote birdwatching and environmental education, with a great passion for the conservation of Lanzarote’s impressive biodiversity. Our enthusiasm for birdlife and protected landscapes extends to our marine reserve boat excursion, where we explore the lesser known ‘Los Chinijos’ islands too.
During this tour we appreciate the Soo habitat and explore the heart of a Lanzarote birding paradise. Equipped with a reliable Landrover, several pairs of binoculars and a telescope we respectfully enter the desert. This unique habitat is home to the Houbara Bustard, Cream Coloured Courser and Stone Curlew to name but a few. We are likely to encounter many surprises along the way, often including Lesser Short-Toed Larks, Trumpeter Finches, Hoopoes. We occasionally see a Kestrel, Barbary Falcon or the spectacular Egyptian Vulture. It’s not uncommon to meet goat herds in Soo, often they are accompanied by numerous Cattle Egrets.
