In this experience, we will plunge into the fantastic nature of the southern coast of Iran and enjoy observing the unique biodiversity of Khur-e Azini and Khur-e Tiab wetlands. The mangrove forests of these two wetlands are the shelter and home to various birds whose symphonic company will delight us as we explore the waters on a boat. This two-day experience is suitable for those who love wandering in the arms of Mother Nature as well as those who are expert birdwatchers. We will be able to monitor remarkable birds such as Oriental white-eye, greater sand plover, lesser sand plover, Caspian plover, sooty gulls, great knots, crab-plovers, and Sind woodpeckers. Note that you’d better be physically ready for hiking and trekking; and, do not forget to bring suitable clothes, shoes, and necessary equipment.

Khur-e Azini Wetland and Minab

For the first day of this experience in Hormozgan, we will visit Khur-e Azini Wetland, one of the internationally recognized spots for its unique ecosystem and diversity of birds. We will spend our day floating among the mangrove forests of Rhizophora and Avicennia and look through our binoculars to find the birds we have overheard. When our Adventure Khur-e Azini Wetland comes to an end, we will move towards Minab. The small winding alleys in the surrounding countryside present us with the beautiful scenes of gardens and the soft sound of birds that we’re looking for. Finally, we will spend the night in a local house in Minab city.

Hopefully, we will be lucky to see notable birds such as Oriental white-eye, greater sand plover, lesser sand plover, and Caspian plover on the first day of our adventure.
