Would you consider bird watching a good day trip out of the city?
It is my hobby. I could lead a group of beginner bird watchers. I own two small charter/tour buses. My “big bus” seats 25 and has a luggage compartment. It has tv/dvd and upgraded seating and sound proofing. My smaller bus would seat 21 if it were not for the wheelchair lift. It has no tv/dvd and base model vinyl seating for 14 plus 2 wheel chairs. One seat folds up to make it 12+3.
I am about 30 miles from NYC. On weekdays, the smaller one is in service for a good contract. The larger one is used for charters and tours 4-5 days a week.
To work them more, I want bring people from the city to enjoy fruit picking and wineries about 40 miles north of here. There are several good bird sanctuaries in the region. I know some very well and others fairly well.
Do you think urbanites would be interested in this sort of day trip? I’d also buy 3-4 pairs of $80-100 Nikon Binoculars for the passengers to borrow.
Does it sound interesting? Thanks for your input.
I would suggest that bird watching is more of a club activity, rather than a weekend trip. You are likely to be able to book bird watch groups, who already have a lot of equipment. But you would need to be knowledgable about your local area, but you can advertise specifically to that group.
I think the angle might be about photography. Many people have bought digital SLRs and want to take good photos. So by taking people out on trips, teaching about photographic techniques, then going out to do bird watching and take photos with their own equipment, would be interesting.
