Magical hummingbirds

Alex_B, Nov 2023

This tour was great - you'll see so many hummingbirds and rare birds which Isra helps spot. Isra clearly wanted us to have a fantastic experience and went out of his way to talk about Ecuador's culture, politics etc as a nice value add during the drive. Isra did well to give us time to enjoy the birds and landscapes as a couple, though never far away to help us and point things out. From your pick up location you'll drive about 2hrs to the Mindo area where you'll visit bird spitting locations. It's a nice way to see a different part if Ecuador as well as magnificent birds.

Mindo Cloud forest bird watching

susan_s, Nov 2023

We had a fabulous day with Israel, he picked us up early to get to the Cloud Forest and we stopped for coffee and snacks at great little gas station. We arrived at our first stop and I really just could have stayed there the whole time watch all the humming birds! We had 2 more stops then had lunch at a little restaurant which was lovely. We were unable to see a toucan as there were eagle flying around so we drove further up the road no luck. Oh well, I was really super excited to see my photos after and I’m so happy I did this tour. He also played 2 videos when we were driving up there that were really great and full of info! Well done Israel!

Would recommend this guide anytime.

Israel, the guide, was extremely helpful and went out of his way to find a bird I really wanted to see. He knew his way around well and drove responsibly.
