New owner, Delphine, a lovely young French gal, provided a full day (6+ hours) of guided birdwatching, story-telling and generally terrific historical, natural & local Maui information. We were delighted to see special treats like the Silversword plant, found only at the summit of Mt. Haleakala, the I’iwi & Apapane, Honeycreepers of Hosmer Grove along with other amazing Hawaiian species I’d not seen before. Found a total of 22 species thru-out the whole day, that i’d Never have spotted myself! We had the tastiest & most generous meal & snacks throughout the day! In addition, Delphine was a pleasure to spend our day with! This is a Maui highlight not to be missed.... Especially if you’re a birder! She also provides tours on the ‘Road to Hana - that we look forward too! PS... Bird pics are stuck in camera - But few of Haleakala & group!

Thank you so much for the kind words! It sure was a pretty good birding day with 22 species spotted, and a pleasure sharing that with you :-) Hope you come back to Maui for the bird lover’s Road to Hana tour!! A Hui Hou!

My husband and I agreed that we really enjoyed this tour with Beth, who is very passionate about Maui and its natural beauty—especially birds. I wasn’t even feeling 100% due to allergy attack but I still had a lovely time thanks to our tour guide. This is a great way to see Haleakalā plus go into some groves and ponds to see Hawaiian birds in action.

Aloha Stephanie! I'm so glad you both enjoyed the experience, despite your allergies. I'm so sorry for that! I know the altitude definitely contributed and I thank you for being such a trooper! It's always such a great day when I get people like you excited to experience Maui! Thank you.

My husband and I spent a day with Beth on the birding tour. We were looking for birds on the days leading up to the tour with Beth, but ended up adding 7 new birds to our list. She was very knowledgable about the island, had excellent snacks and was a great driver. We had great conversations with other people on the tour and were able to focus on looking for birds instead of driving the crazy curvy roads ourselves. We both highly recommend this tour.

I'm excited you added seven new birds to your list! As mentioned, we're by no means Costa Rica when it comes to number of different species but the ones we do have here are amazing. Thanks so much for joining in on the adventure and a big mahalo for this kind review!

We joined a friend on a bird watching trip up Haleakala and Kaelia National Wildlife refuge with Beth at Maui Nature. Her Sprinter Van was so comfy and well appointed and Beth is such a good driver that we were able to even spot birds while driving. Getting to the summit so painlessly was a bonus but seeing all the birds in Hosmer Grove was lovely. Beth was able to educate us on the history and natural history of the island. Her lunch was great and was provided with silverware, plates and cloth napkins to conserve waste. An amazing day. This tour attracts kind and interesting people.

Aloha Judy and Peter! Thanks for taking the time to write this review. I'm so glad you were able to join us! Although we didn't find the owl, there were so many other great surprises it made the day perfect. Thank you.

Beth is a very knowledgeable, articulate, engaging tour guide. As a Biologist she knows her stuff but as a birder she elevates birdwatching to a fun, exciting level. You won’t be disappointed! Beth knew all the right spots to go birding. Fun, lively, caring and passionate about defending the ecosystem of the island. I’ll do it again when I make my next trip to Maui! Dave

Aloha Dave! Thank you for your kind words. What a FUN day we had! Finding that leucistic Sparrow was so entertaining and the Green Pheasant, the cherry on top. Thank you for exploring and for taking the time to write this nice review. It was a pleasure to meet you. Mahalo!
