Neah Bay Trip Birding at the Beginning of the World
Sunday, April 13 through Tuesday, April 15, 2025
Location: Clallam Bay County Park, Neah Bay and surrounding areas
Price: $500
Limit: 18
Join our tour leaders for a unique, two and a half day birding experience to one of the most remote and wild birding areas of Washington State. We will explore the Makah Indian Nation’s best and most beautiful birding hot spots searching for migrating raptors, seabirds, and songbirds.
Our adventure begins on April 13 at 10:00 AM Sunday morning at Clallam Bay County Park in the town of Clallam Bay where you will meet your guides. After birding the park and beach with the guides, the group will drive on to Neah Bay making additional birding stops along the way.
The next two days will be spent birding at places such as Cape Flattery, Wa’atch Valley, Hobuck Beach, Bahokus Peak and Neah Bay itself, always looking for migrants and wintering birds. This trip involves walking up to 2 miles a day on uneven terrain.
Cost of the trip: The trip includes Makah Tribal passes, entrance fee to the Makah Museum, box lunches and guides. Breakfast and Dinner are on your own, either purchased in local restaurants or else cooked by yourself in your cabins, which have kitchenettes. There is a local grocery store.
Lodging Options: Participants must reserve and pay for their own lodging.
Because Neah Bay is extremely busy during fishing season, we have arranged with the Makah Tribe to set aside a block of cabins at the beautiful Hobuck Beach Resort for Sunday and Monday nights. These rooms are guaranteed to BirdFest participants at a discounted rate until March 1, 2025 when they will be released for public use as well. After that date, the discount still applies but your first choice for a cabin style may not be available. To receive the discount, CALL 360-645-2339 to select lodging of your choice as soon as possible. You must mention Olympic Birdfest to receive the discount. Check out their website at www.hobuckbeachresort.com to see what type of lodging works best for you! Camping sites are also available on a first come/first serve basis if you prefer.
