Been to a lot of cheaper tours but this is a truly environmental and responsible tour company and with really professional team members. As a responsible traveler and one of the earthlings, that's the reason I chose this company as they do not participate any activities to interfere the life patterns of the wild animals or environment here to entertain guests like eagle feeding etc.

Back to topic, I saw some customer's review give 1 star because of the weather and they didn't see many animals...these are totally unpredictable things, and the unknown is the excitement is about. we went for the afternoon bird watching, I was a raining day, they asked us if we want to cancel it, we said it is okay, it's better than staying in hotel. On the first two spots we saw a lot of birds, include some very beautiful kingfishers. Our guide Atik is like a college student but she is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the job she does. And our driver cannot speak English but he is a master at spotting birds.

On the way up hill to Gunung Raya, it started to rain, and we think we might not see many birds. But amongst the raindrops (no droptop :D) they spotted a great hornbill on the top of one very high tree. Oh damn, this is my target bird for this tour, i never thought we could see it because of the rain.

On the way downhill, the rain didn't stop and they offer a postpone to the day after or half price discount cos the weather condition we not gonna see more birds. BUT!! Fortunately they spotted a great hornbill couple on one tree and we stopped for it and then the rain stopped, we saw the most beautiful sunset with those two birds as the foreground, and then suddenly out of no where, flew in couple of other great hornbills.

They said we are the first guests to see so many great hornbills in one tour, it never happened. So after all my decision to go in the rain is not a wrong decision.

In the end I still offer the full price cos we had a very great time with them. For the birds, pls chk the photos (I cannot guarantee that you will also see hornbills when you go there, cos it is not predictable homie)

Good tour

We did see quite a lot of birds (and some monkeys), so it was definitely worth it. Also managed to see the great hornbills. Make sure you double check/contact the operator before the tour as we had some mix-up as they hadn’t received the confirmation, so we waited for nothing the 1st day. They made it up the next day though and quickly arranged a tour for us. In all it was a good tour, but the guide could talk a little more a about the birds in the area in general, not just about the ones we happen to see. They provide binoculars, so its easier to see the birds.

The tour guide Ikram and the driver were very knowledgeable and caring guides. You can learn about the local plants as well as the birds & the landscape was beautiful. We were very excited to spot the hornbills! Thank you:)
