      About Us

      Ventures Birding Tours was born and raised in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina. With the Blue Ridge Mountains on our doorstep, it was a natural to head out and explore the abundant birdlife.

      We have continued to grow locally with bird and nature tours throughout the area, and expanded to multiple locations within North America and internationally.
