Tremendous variety of birds in a semi-wild environment but it's not the same as seeing them in the true wild. A lot of the species are not native to South Africa and many can be found by the ubiquitous bird feeding stations, which spoils it a bit. Having said that, there's a lot of different birds to see and it's entertaining and well presented. If you have time to spare/kill, visit here along with Monkeyland next door. Finally, there was no working cafe so had to do without coffee !

I visited with my mother and we both enjoyed ourselves. The walkways are well maintained,and, even on a hot, sunny day, there were plenty of birds around. We also saw a little duiker in the undergrowth. We were followed by a small parrot, which took a shine to my mother, and later by a Birchall's coucal which hopped out from under a bush and sat on my foot. It the ran and flew along with us, stopping to sing every so often. A lovely way to spend some time when in Plettenberg Bay.

Birds of Eden was such a delight! You can take as long as you like to take in the beauty and all the amazing birds. You feel like you're in the middle of jurassic park without the fear of dinosaurs of course! There are SO many different birds to behold, bathrooms are readily available and sanitary. There were also 2 restaurants in case hunger strikes. Be prepared to be captivated for a minimum of 2 hours, especially if you love birds. Would recommend to anyone of any age and do bring binoculars!

Immediately upon entry we were amazed by the abundance of brilliant and colourful birds. The walk is pretty long for very small kids but there is a cafe about two thirds through. My kid counted nearly 40 different breeds, all living together in a massive covered forest/jungle. We bought the bundle with birds of Eden and monkey land. It seemed expensive but was worth every cent. We loved every minute.

This is a spectacular bird paradise near Plettenberg Bay. I was expecting a typical aviary, but this is huge in a natural wooded area with many trees; shrubs and streams providing for over 400 species of birds that provide a cacophony of song. How they managed to put a huge high wide net over it is a mystery. They have been collected from people all over the world and most are not indigenous to South Africa. They have built a wooden walkway right through the park and you get to see many species on your walk. For me, the Flamingo Dam was a highlight. One bird was even tame enough to sit on a visitors shoulder. We got to see many birds up close and personal most of which I had never seen before. This is a must see when you are in Plett.

I don't know how there aren't more people here. It seems like this is completely unknown to foreign tourists We went on a Saturday morning and had whole walkways to ourselves sometimes. If you love birds, or like birds, or are just a human being with even the tiniest sense of wonder.... I don't see how you could be anything but amazed. So many species (and so many colourful and interesting ones) all living in harmony, in an enormous space (it took us hours to walk through it). The bird spotting guide is excellent and how is it so cheap?! We had so much fun identifying species and learning about them. The gift shop had excellent souvenirs too and for a fraction of the price of anywhere else we'd seen. We are the kind of people that normally power-walk through the gift shop and I don't know if we have ever bought something from a gift shop before, but we got a beautiful painting of a lion here for just a few pounds. And Monkeyland (just as wonderful and ethical) is just a 1-minute walk away... what more could you ask for?

If you like birds this is one you should not miss. Birds from everywhere in the biggest free filet aviary you have ever seen. Lots of feeding stations where the birds congregate but not essential as they are everywhere in completely natural surroundings. Don’t miss it if you are in the area.

It was great to see that the birds had so much space to fly freely. We expected to spend about a hour at this attraction but we were there over 2 hours. Go at your own pace. It is not time limited and you can spend as much time as you have. Plenty of places to sit and watch and listen. Even if you can't spot the birds the noise is incredible and you feel at one with nature. There are many feeding stations where you can get close to the birds. When it is feeding time, birds come from everywhere and we saw many different species that we had not spotted before. We bought a very good value guide book which we used to identify the birds we had taken photos of when we got home
