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.

Three kinds of toucans spotted! - We had a nice tour in which we spotted three species of toucans in a beautiful secluded place. William knew a lot about the birds and nature. We were also allowed to borrow his equipment, which was very nice for us as inexperienced birdwatchers. Recommended!
