Migratory Birding with LL Bean | Sep 18-21, 2025

This 4-day/3-night trip is the perfect getaway for any birding enthusiast, whether you're just a beginner or an avian expert. Your home base for the duration of the trip will be Whitehead Light Station, on beautiful Whitehead Island, a major migratory path where a wide range of bird species make their stops every year. We've made sure to schedule this experience to align with the spring and fall migrations, providing some of the best birding possible.


Beyond the birding opportunities, is your lodging experience: your private bedroom with ensuite bath will be located in the renovated light keeper's house, adjacent to the island's active lighthouse. Meals are prepared by the on-site staff, using fresh local ingredients. One of the menu highlights is our famous lobster dinner, served right on the rocky shoreline with expansive ocean views.


When not relaxing in one of the Adirondack chairs overlooking the ocean, you'll enjoy guided birding hikes through the spruce forest and along the coast, led by an L.L.Bean birding expert with years of experience. You'll also have the opportunity to go on a boat tour to access other locations where you're almost certain to spot even more birds and other wildlife.


 Trip Highlights

  • Birdwatching hikes led by one of L.L.Bean’s birding experts
  • Lodging in a renovated light keeper’s house on a small Maine island
  • Freshly prepared meals by the on-site staff
  • Transportation to/from island
  • Additional boat ride during stay for wildlife viewing  
  • Small group size of 10 people maximum, plus L.L.Bean birding expert
