Papua birding walks
Our birding walks are half a day’s to day-long focused
bird watching excursions, currently offered only in the vicinity of our
home base Sorong. Our most accessible ‘local patch’ holds Northern Cassowary,
Western Crowned-Pigeon, Crinkle-collared Manucode, and King and Lesser
Bird of Paradise among a well diversified and colorful lowland forest
avifauna. Great as a little extension to our ‘Waitanta endemics’ birding
break, and otherwise well worth a look if you happen to pass through Sorong
and have a spare morning or so.

Taste of Sorong lowlands forest birds
This Papuan birding walk takes us to a large tract
of primary forest near Sorong that supports a well diversified and
colorful lowland forest avifauna including Northern Cassowary, Western
Crowned-Pigeon, and three species of bird of paradise: Crinkle-collared
Manucode, and King and Lesser Bird of Paradise.

Rumba Boo Islets
waders and more
The Rumba Boo Islets lie off the northeast coast
of Salawati Island in the Raja Ampat archipelago, just half an hour's
boat ride away from Sorong. These sandy atolls are an excellent
place to get to grips with a variety of waders and wetland birds,
besides sporting a number of so-called 'supertramps': wide-ranging
colonists that thrive on species-poor small islands. Great as a
relaxed half a day's out birding.
