What sets Merlin Birding & Nature Tours Apart?
At Merlin Birding we know that quality birding and nature experiences only happen with small groups, so we limit every trip to no more than 12 participants. Our costs are lower because we have no middleman; our guides are our owners. In addition, we always select the most experienced and knowledgeable local guides.
We're aware of the global impacts of our travel, so we pay carbon offsets for every tour participant. And we support nonprofit conservation groups where we travel, and we are a proud partner of Montana Audubon, a statewide bird conservation organization. Give us a call to book your extraordinary birding adventure today! (406-461-5714).

Looking for an outstanding birding trip to an exotic location? Our birding tours are designed to maximize bird and habitat diversity, and often incorporate significant cultural/ historical features as well.
In the Yellowstone Park Tour you're in the world's first national park to view bears, wolves, bison, elk, bighorn sheep, mountain goats, pronghorn, eagles and so much more! We know the park well and would love to share our experience, knowledge and passion with you!
If both birding and wildlife watching appeal to you, we have a tour for you! Consider joining us on our tour to South Africa or Nova Scotia/Newfoundland (in addition to Yellowstone!).
