Nature Explorers Anguilla is the first ecotourism company on Anguilla providing wildlife tours to the island's wetlands. Formed in 2010, Nature Explorers Anguilla provides an excellent opportunity for visitors and residents to experience the natural world of this island nation.
Whether a bird watcher, photographer, or a little bit of both, Nature Explorers Anguilla helps clients investigate beyond the island’s glorious beaches, and observe the less travelled areas rich with incredible flora and fauna.
Anguilla boasts more than 20 wetlands and over 130 species of birds that live here for all or part of the year. During the peak migratory periods, it is not uncommon to see a wide variety of species as they make their way to and from their breeding grounds along the Atlantic Flyway.
Its spectacular offshore cays play host to a number of locally and regionally important seabird breeding colonies
Anguilla has five designated marine parks including: Dog Island, Prickly Pear Cays, Sandy Island, Little Bay and Shoal Bay extending to Island Harbour. Established in 1993 by the Government of Anguilla, these parks are home to a number of species of endangered turtles, colorful reef fish and corals, sharks, migrating whales and dolphins.
