Client feedback:

We really enjoyed this tour, despite the many challenges caused by Covid and the weather. Yu Ota is an excellent guide who stepped up on the Cairns leg of the tour and worked hard to make sure we saw as many species as possible. We will always be grateful for his persistence with the Cassowary, it was our most wanted bird and we saw it so well on our absolute last chance!

Dear Yu, Thank you for your superb birding guiding and great driving. You made sure we saw the most difficult to see birds.

It was a lovely group and we thoroughly enjoyed Yu”. “I'm glad you are having Yu be the main guide. I really loved his enthusiasm for things. Giggling when he'd seen some behavior, etc. I think he's a fabulous choice! :)”.
