Cypress
Valley Canopy Tours - Bird Watching Tours
THE CYPRESS VALLEY SUNRISE BIRDING TOUR lets you explore this beautiful creek ravine on Saturdays at sunrise when the birds are waking and singing to the world. Join local birders and Cypress Valley guides as we listen, look and explore the wonders of the rich and diverse community of birds in this unique cypress-lined creek. Unlike other bird watching tours, this one will take you in the trees with the birds. We will start at sunrise and enjoy the songs and appearances of our winged friends. And of course, the guest appearances of various birds changes with the season.
Bird watching tours are $125 per person. Call for reservations at (512) 264-8880.
