About
Birding Haapsalu is an Estonian operator built around lead guide Tarvo Valker, running scheduled small-group and custom tours across Estonia from bases in Haapsalu and Tallinn. The company's calendar centers on the spring waterbird and owl seasons, the late-winter Steller's Eider gatherings off Saaremaa, and autumn migration at Cape Põõsaspea.
Ite programs cover Matsalu and Soomaa national parks, the western islands of Saaremaa, Hiiumaa, and Kihnu, and old-growth forests for woodpeckers and grouse. Scheduled departures run February through September with capacity-limited group sizes and multiple sold-out dates indicating consistent demand.
