Amazing Bird Watching - Amazing experience!! Highly recommend! William is very knowledgeable of the birds and has a remarkable skill for spotting them. He also has an app to show you what bird you are seeing and information about it. He can recognize the sound they make and guide you towards whatever bird you’re looking to find.
I started out the morning feeding hummingbirds and went on a short walk to see other birds. We saw lots of little birds, a hawk, parrots, and two toucans!! He would play bird sounds to try and attract them. He also knows where the nests are as well as where different birds like to eat. We heard a quetzal but we’re not able to locate it. I appreciated the time he spent searching for the birds I was most interested in. He also has a great telescope for viewing and taking photos up close. He took incredible pictures and videos as well and sent them to me through WhatsApp.
The property is beautifully landscaped and around 7 minutes from the center park in Mindo. If you ask, he can arrange for a taxi to pick you up and drop you off. It’s $2.50 each way. I’m very satisfied with the experience and will be booking a night walk as well!

Get to know the birds of Mindo - We started at 06.00 at the MINDO sign where we spotted our first birds before walking through Mindo and into the park. It was a beautiful morning, we saw two types of toucans and more hummingbirds than I could count. They were absolutely beautiful. The decked area was lovely, with coffee and juice, and clean toilets just behind.
William was great to talk to and his knowledge wonderful. We had a great trip and would thoroughly recommend William.

🐦 Must visit bird watching! - What an amazing experience! The guides are extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. We saw several species of Toucans, Parrots, Tanagers and what seemed like infinite humming birds.
There's a small hike with big views and they provide snacks and coffee.
I highly recommend this experience even if you are bird novices like us 🐦

Hold my Hummingbird! - Totally worth it!
I didnt know that i like birdwatching that much. William, our guide, not only explained us every bird, he also explain us ecuadorian lifestyle and culture.
But the most important an best thing was bird watching. I saw tucans and other fancy birds. Ask william for the names of those. Feeding hummingbirds was besutiful. Thanks!!!

Must do! - It was amazing! The guide Wiliam was absolutly passionate about the birds and could show us many different species and tell us something about the nature and even some politics. Although the handfeeding of the hummingbirds was just absolutly amazing. It was an absolute highlight and I feel more then blessed I was able to experience this. I can totally recommend the tour and thank Wiliam for his time!

Amazing experience! Don’t think twice - William was amazing! We had the pleasure of doing the birdwatching tour in the morning to see toucans. We saw 4 different species, with several members from each!
William was very knowledgeable and interesting and he got us excited about every bird we saw. We also fed hummingbirds which was an indescribable experience in it of itself. It was beautiful and something I've never experienced before.
Can't recommend William enough, especially for the price.
