WAIGEO Waigeo Island is the biggest island of Raja Ampat, a region world famous for diving and marine biodiversity. The island was connected to the mainland of Western Papua until about 8000 years ago, so the biodiversity is a lot higher than what’s normal on more isolated islands. The friendly people live on the coast, while the inland is covered in pristine rain forest, full with exciting wildlife. The majority of tourists will be in the water, so you’ll have the forest mostly for yourself. You will be able to discover beautiful birds even in the backyard of your beachside resort and if you walk to the special hides that are prepared in the forest, some world class Birds of Paradise, Pitta’s and Pigeons are waiting for you. If you have time left, put on your snorkle to join the colorfull fishes and corals that are hidden under the surface. Waigeo is a true paradise for every nature lover. KEY BIRD SPECIES Red Bird-of-Paradise: Absolutely stunning bird that is limited to Raja Ampat. M...

  LORE LINDU Lore Lindu is propbably the best place to see the unique avifauna of Sulawesi with 80% of the islands endemic species present. This is mainly because the park has different levels of altitude that can be visited. The main rule is altough that the higher the altitude the harder you’ve got to work for it.

The dark purple on its head and breast fades beautifully into maroon until the green back and wings. Carefully designed bird! Hylocitrea:  Maybe not the most spectacular bird to see, but so unique tha...

MALAGUFUK Malagufuk is a small village inland in lowland forest and it has become famous with bird watchers. It’s both easy to reach (only 1.5 hour by car from Sorong) and very remote (3.5 hours of walking from the car to the village). The small community has put up a small ecotourism accommodation, what makes it easy to explore the surrounding forest in the early morning and late afternoon.  Because the bird watchers are important to the villagers’ income, the locale people protect the forests. Birding here equals walking, you won’t be in a car during your whole stay, so you will be able to fully get connected to the impressive nature surrounding you. Colourful Fruit-doves, Kingfishers, Parrots and of course Birds-of-Paradise are the big attractions, but there is a lot more than that. KEY BIRD SPECIES Northern Cassowary:  The smaller and more colourful counterparts of their big sisters of the south. Normally they are very shy and not to be seen near humans, but because of the...
