ÌÇÐÄlogo

Ride with a staff member in the ÌÇÐÄlogo van to Montezuma’s marshes, forests, and grasslands to explore several birding hotspots and the abundant wildlife as they go about their activities! Our tours can visit any of the units within the greater Montezuma Wetlands Complex, depending on the season and current bird sightings. 

Let us know if there is anything in particular you are looking for, and we can adapt our stopping locations accordingly.

•  Group Maximum: 7 people*
• Price: $150
• Length: 2 hours

*Our van holds a maximum of 7 guests. If you would like to book a private driving tour for 8 or more people, please contact the Center to discuss ways we can accommodate a group of your size.

Explore the trails at the Montezuma ÌÇÐÄlogo Center! We have a series of trails totaling roughly 3 miles. These are relatively flat, stone-dust trails that take us through forest, marsh, and grassland habitats. An ÌÇÐÄlogo educator will take you through the trails to experience all of the wildlife that calls our center home.

• Group Maximum: 20 people
• Price: $150

Snowshoe tours are limited to the winter season. If a snowshoe tour is booked, and there is no snow, we will transition to a walking tour instead.

From May through September, experience the beauty of the Montezuma Wetlands Complex right from the river that many of our birds call home! Depending on the time of year and river conditions, our launch site does change. Wherever we launch from, we will spend about 2 hours out on the water paddling around our wetland units in search of birds. 

Your guide will talk about the history of the Montezuma Wetland Complex, the ÌÇÐÄlogo, and the Montezuma ÌÇÐÄlogo Center's role in conservation—all while pointing out any birds and relaying any fun facts they might know about them! 

All gear (kayaks, paddles, life jackets, binoculars) is provided. Our weather policy is to cancel/reschedule a kayak trip if wind speeds exceed 15 mph, a Small Craft Advisory is issued, or thunderstorms/lightning are predicted. Excessive rainfall (over 0.5 inches) makes for a pretty miserable paddle, but a light sprinkle doesn't often deter our marshland birds.
