I had a great day birding with Wendy. I was able to get great looks at many of my target birds... read more
We had a great time bird-watching on Haleakala with this guided tour. This was our first ever birding experience and we were not disappointed. Our guide Delphine was very friendly and knowledgeable and, in addition to seeing some very exotic birds, we got to see some sites that we wouldn't otherwise have explored. Even the lunch provided was great... Highly recommended! Just note that there is a little bit of low-impact hiking to get to a few of the sites and definitely bring a jacket for the morning chilly temps at the peak of the volcano.
Mahalo for the kind words Misael!! We were all novice birdwatchers at some point, and I always try to make it comfortable and fun for newcomers and the non-birding families & partners of birders--glad this came through and you two had a good time :-) A hui hou!
Had a great time on this tour. Delphine the owner/ operator really knows Maui and all of the birds that are able to be seen. We saw almost 30 species including 4 species of rare Hawaiian Honeycreepers. Her knowledge of all the locations and various ecosystems on Maui and fun personality all contributed to an excellent trip. Nice comfortable roomy tour van. There were even a couple of people on this trip that weren't necessarily birders and they still had a great time. Highly recommend for anyone interested in Maui's natural wildlife.
Mahalo Bryan :-) That sure was a good birding day on the island! Thanks for coming with us and sharing your own knowledge! A hui hou
This was a great day trip. We not only saw a handful of new birds but we also saw a lot of beautiful Maui landscape and learned neat history and folklore. Delphine is certainly knowledgable and a very friendly tour guide. I would most certainly recommend this tour to any bird enthusiast.
Mahalo nui loa Heather :-) Always a pleasure to tour with fellow bird enthusiasts and talk story about birds and Hawaiian lore! A hui hou!
We really wanted to see Haleakala and only had one day to do so, so we decided to book a tour to get in as much as we could. We weren't disappointed! Delphine was a great guide that was very flexible and helped weave cultural and natural history into the tour. We were in a mixed group with a family with young children, but she was prepared for it all. The snacks and lunch were delicious and well timed. We got to see a number of birds, despite it being a general hiking tour. Delphine also taught me a few plants along the trail when she learned about my interest. The hikes were relatively easy which was nice for a couple of flat landers at that elevation. I wish we could have had more time to book a second tour. Thank you!
Mahalo for the kind words! This was such a great day hiking in the crater... Beautiful weather, nenes crossing our path, and I really loved sharing my local knowledge and love for native plants with a botanist who could appreciate it :-) Please come back for the longer trek anytime!! A hui hou
Our preferred date was sold out, but Delphine offered us a private tour that took us to the prime birding spots. We saw a lot of the native and non-native species living on the island and had overall a very good time - true even for the two non-birders in our family who came along for the views, the stories about Maui and the ice lunch at Hosmer Grove! Highly recommended for families and groups!
Mahalo nui loa for your kind words Andreas! It was such a pleasure spending time with your beautiful family and the enthusiastic new generation of birders :-) A hui hou!
Delphine provided all we could want: itinerary; flexibility; comfort; food; and responsiveness to our needs and wants. 100% recommend this tour. So very much better than the cruise line offerings!
Mahalo nui Patti! You all were such a fun and lively group, it was great showing you around our beautiful island :-) Come back soon!! A hui hou!
