Andaman and Nicobar: Chidiya Tapu Birdwatching Tour with Private Transfers

Description

Discover the birdlife of Chidiya Tapu, popularly known as Bird Island, on a private guided birdwatching excursion from Sri Vijaya Puram (Port Blair).

Located approximately 25–28 km south of the city, Chidiya Tapu combines tropical forest, mangrove vegetation, coastal habitats and scenic viewpoints. These environments provide opportunities to observe resident birds and seasonal visitors in their natural surroundings.

An experienced birdwatching guide helps guests identify birds by their appearance, calls, behaviour and habitat. The walk follows permitted trails and suitable observation areas, with time for photography and quiet wildlife observation.

The excursion includes private SUV transfers from a choice of two pickup points in Sri Vijaya Puram and a guided birdwatching session at Chidiya Tapu. Bird sightings depend on season, weather and natural activity.

Meeting instruction:

Guests should report 30 minutes before the scheduled activity at the designated meeting point.
