Our Cuba – Caribbean Endemics Birding tours target almost all 28 Cuban endemic birds and further 23 Caribbean specials, as well as great wintering North American migrants. Using the services of local bird specialists at each site, we guarantee an impressive success rate in observing the island’s amazing avian diversity. From the world’s tiniest bird (the Bee Hummingbird) to such sought-after species as Giant Kingbird, the cute Cuban Tody, the beautiful Cuban Trogon, Gundlach’s Hawk, Oriente and Yellow-headed Warbler, Zapata Wren and no less than four species of stunning quail-doves, Cuba is an absolute pleasure to bird. On this tour we will cover a wide variety of habitats, ranging from interior tropical forests and mangroves, to extensive wetlands and white sand beaches along the northern coral cays. The awesome birdlife is further augmented by ease of travel, comfortable lodges, fascinating culture, a turbulent history, vintage cars that take one back to the 50’s and friendly people.

What our clients say about us

Forrest Rowland
RF, Cuba

I highly recommend Forrest Rowland as a remarkably talented birding guide with exceptional birding skills, knowledge and helpfulness to get everyone on the bird.

Robert Wilcox
LB, Cuba 2023

Overall, the birding aspect of the tour was fabulous. Excellent guides all around. Local field guides (Elier, Nils, Mario, Oday) were all friendly, knowledgeable and well-connected with their local areas. Our coach driver, Enrique, was amazing - he was always professional and we were all so impressed with his ability to navigate the bus in the tightest little spaces. Our tour guide Mario was over the top helpful and knowledgeable about all things Cuba -- definitely a must for future Rockjumper tours. Marios consistently upbeat demeanor and ease of communication made him critical to the success of this trip. Bobby is a highly skilled birder and hard working. He did a great job of managing a sometimes difficult group that complained a lot about insignificant things. His post-trip eBird trip report and photos were phenomenal. The wide range of variation in regions, ecosystems, unique little places, locally-owned accommodations, friendly people, and ease of access to special birding areas made this trip memorable. We especially enjoyed the visit to a local familys backyard garden to see the Bee Hummingbird, as well as the birding and honey-tasting experience at the local farm near las Terrazas Biosphere Reserve.

Lev Frid
JH, Cuba 2020

Lev worked hard and did a really fine job of finding the endemics and lots of other interesting birds. He maintained good humor and was very pleasant throughout the trip.

Forrest Rowland
CR & SR, Cuba

Forrest Rowland was the consummate birding tour guide. He was very personable and friendly and a top-notch birder with excellent skills for getting us on the birds. He kept us informed about all logistical details. We will seek him out for another Rockjumper tour.

Forrest Rowland
MA, Cuba

Forrest was an absolute joy to bird with. I’ve been to 25 countries birding and this was one of, if not the best, birding tour I have ever had the pleasure of being on.
