Great tour! The guide picked us up in the town right on time and was very friendly and informative and gave us options for which route we would do. We chose one with more walking and were lucky enough to see toucans almost straight away. The guide provided binoculars and was very patient with spotting and ensuring we saw the birds. I would recommend.
Great experience The best of the best.
Thank you very much
William was great. Myself and a friend had a private bird watching tour. You can tell he is passionate about bird watching and wants to share it with you. Gives good information about the birds without overloading you. Spent around 30-60mins at a bird watching station baited with banana, then another 60mins at the feed the humming bird station which is also baited. We saw 29 species of birds. The experience was perfect for the non bird enthusiast.
Thank you very much
Had a nice experience today, the guide was very knowledgeable. Saw 2 species of toucans and a lot of tanagers
Thank you very much for a good experience shared together. Have a good trip!
Great, I was alone with the guide and he offered to go to another area to increase the chances of new species. This was a great idea. We saw a lot of new and fairly special species. The flexibility and knowledge of the guide were great!
We always try the best, I hope you enjoyed to see different birds outside Mindo. Thanks for your comment and be happy on your journey.
The 3 p.m. is especially perfect for beginner bird-watcher who is not sure they have the patience to wait at 0530 for the "right" bird to show up. I don't know birds enough too lost what we saw but I learned stuff and had fun. The couple are knowledgeable and nice to hear their experiences in the area for decades. Even better, it can be scheduled just before the 7 p.m. night jungle adventure in the same area
We appreciate your comment and thanks for being part of this humble agency, do not forget that you can book las time minute tours with us.
I had an amazing tour experience! I got to feed the hummingbirds which was indescribable and we saw so many different birds including toucans! Wiliam was an excellent tour guide who pointed out various birds and could describe all the different sounds, which was unbelievable. We also took a walk through the cloud forest where we saw some butterflies and other animals. I had such a great time and it was a beautiful experience! I can highly recommend this tour and the amazing guide! Thank you so much!:)
