About us

Travel agency watching.sk was established in year 2011 with the main aim to reveal the beauties of Slovak nature to the domestic and foreign clients.

We organize trips focused mainly on birdwatching in Slovakia and in our neighboring countries (Hungary, Austria). Since this year we offer also trips focused on plantwatching or wildlifewatching (bears, wolves, deer). Program of our trips include also visits of interesting cultural and historical places.

We cooperate with experts in individual fields (ornithologists, botanists, zoologists) and mainly local people. At the same time we try to keep our actions as environmental friendly as possible.

We occasionally organize also lectures and excursions for children and public or short courses on identifying birds and their voices, particularly around Bratislava.
