PERSONAL
BIRDING TOUR FEES
FOR 2012
(including GST)
2012
spring bookings: due to the high demand of our services from September to December there will be no exclusive
bookings — we will take up to four birders. It may be that no one else
is looking for your dates, in which case you will have the booking on
your own. Outside of that timeframe, AOS is willing to have birders
join forces to save costs. Please indicate that you are happy to have
others join you when booking. If you would prefer to have an exclusive
booking (outside of the spring timeframe) please indicate that you would
prefer others not to join you. However, it is at AOS discretion as to whether one or two other birders join
an already booked date.
See
fees below for shared costs
2012 fees have risen by a mere $5.00 to allow a simpler division when dividing by three. This is the first price rise in five years.
