All participants are guaranteed their own bed on our trips.

A Single Supplement (SS) means you will have your own room with your own bed, and no other participants will share that room with you. Single supplements are limited, offered at an additional cost, and will appear as a booking option at the time of registration if still available.

A Double Accommodation means you will share a room with another participant. You will still have your own bed. Shared beds can be requested but cannot always be accommodated depending upon the property.

Bathrooms: Bathroom arrangements vary depending on the trip and lodging. A single supplement guarantees your own sleeping space but may still include a shared bathroom. Double accommodations typically share a bathroom with a roommate and sometimes additional participants, depending on the property. Private or ensuite bathrooms will be noted in the trip details when available.

Breakfasts are mostly eaten at our lodgings, lunches are provided by your guides, and dinners are out at local restaurants.

There will be plenty of birdwatching and easier hiking opportunities along with some cultural activities like a day spent in Bisbee and our visit to Tumacacori National Historic Park.

We’ll start out in Tucson before moving to the beautiful remote Chiricahua Mountains. From there we will move to the Bisbee and Ramsey Canyon area then to Tubac.

The birds we may see in Southern Arizona include but aren’t limited to the following: Red-Naped Sapsuckers, Chipping Sparrows, Dark-eyed Junco, Gray Hawks, Violet-crowned Hummingbird, Rose-throated Becard, Elegant Trogons, Black-capped Gnatcatchers, Magnificent Hummingbirds, Montezuma Quail, Mexican Spotted Owl, Lucifer Hummingbird, Five-striped Sparrow, Red-faced Warbler, Buff-collared Nightjar, Yellow-eyed Junco, Plain-capped Starthroat, and more.

If we know well in advance, we can accommodate vegetarian, lactose-free, and gluten-sensitive diets. We cannot guarantee a completely gluten-free diet and we cannot provide a kitchen guaranteed to be free of cross-contamination. If you are vegan, we ask that you bring some additional protein bars; and if you are gluten-sensitive, please bring some gluten-free snacks. If you have severe allergies, Celiac disease and/or other significant dietary restrictions, please call the office before you register.

You only need to pay a single supplement if you want to guarantee you have your own room. Otherwise we’ll pair you up with someone and then switch roommates every time we switch lodging.
