This was a great tour. Our tour guide was very informative and knowledgeable from the boat we can see nicely and witness the real actions of the bird on which you can get a good picture for sure, just be ready with your camera. I saw many beautiful birds but I just don't know the names even though the tour guide helps us by telling their name but still, it was hard to remember, the packed lunch was plenty and delicious. The transport was cool and comfortable with our driver. I would like to recommend this tour to you all.

The guide was very informative and friendly helps us alot. The best part was that whenever we saw any birds we asked questions the guide able to answer it all and even identify each bird. This tour has many surprises you never know when and where you would find birds. My advice is during this tour you must be fully concentrated so that you won't miss any. It was an uncommon experience for the group and me. Everything was great.
