Birding in the Dominican Republic – Explore the Caribbean’s Endemic Birds

The Dominican Republic is one of the top birdwatching destinations in the Caribbean, offering more than 300 bird species and over 30 endemics found only on Hispaniola. With its diverse habitats—mountain ranges, cloud forests, mangroves, wetlands, and dry coastal areas—the country provides incredible opportunities for birding tours and wildlife photography.

Highlights for birdwatchers include the Hispaniolan Trogon, the dazzling Broad-billed Tody, the rare Hispaniolan Crossbill, and the island’s national bird, the Palmchat. Migratory species from North America also flock here between November and March, making the Dominican Republic a year-round paradise for birdwatching.

Top birding hotspots in the Dominican Republic include Los Haitises National Park, with its mangrove forests and limestone cliffs; Sierra de Bahoruco National Park, a biodiversity hotspot where many endemic birds can be seen; and Lake Enriquillo, home to flamingos, herons, and other waterbirds. Guided birding excursions ensure the best sightings while supporting local conservation projects.

Whether you are an avid birder searching for lifers, a nature photographer, or a traveler who loves eco-adventures, the Dominican Republic combines world-class birdwatching tours with breathtaking landscapes and authentic cultural experiences.

Plan your birding adventure today and discover why the Dominican Republic is considered the ultimate destination for spotting Caribbean endemic birds.
