Alvaro’s Adventures is an international birding tour company based in Half Moon Bay, California, and is world-renowned for its boat trips that go out to observe pelagic birds – birds that live in oceanic areas. The tours, which take in islands belonging to Argentina and Chile as well as the Galapagos Islands, combine exploration, observation, and bird photography with other aspects of local culture such as food, wine, and folklore.

One of the most popular local trips is Inn to Inn Birding in Half Moon Bay, which is a walking trip from one inn to another, with a field lunch and a dinner and lodging in one of the participating inns. The trips take place in September, during peak bird migration season, and offer great opportunities to observe bird species such as the rare wandering tattler, marbled murrelet, black oystercatcher, elegant tern, western gull, and Heermann's gull.
