Epic Nature Tours is a family owned and operated birding and travel company based out of Banner Elk, North Carolina. We specialize in creating private and small group birding tours here in the mountains, around the country, and in Costa Rica. We offer high quality, hand-crafted, nature tours that are led by professional naturalist guides. Our tours are not just another big bus tour. We think it’s important for our guests to have the opportunity to truly connect with the people and places they visit.
