5.00I didn’t realize we’d be changing busses and divers. It was no problem, just unexpected. Our 12 yo grandson LOVED the iguana feeding and the bird sanctuary a LOT! He even found a kind of cheese that he liked at that stop.
Take a chance on some birds!

5.00We loved this experience. We were a group of 11. We met our driver right outside of the port and he brought us to a few places to stop and take pictures before bringing us to the birds. The Bird Sanctuary is well kept, the birds are healthy, and they are not shy about coming in to get a snack from you. Even my moody teenager who "didn't want to see stupid birds" was left smiling and laughing by the end of this excursion. The staff was incredibly friendly and we hit up the smoothies before we left back for the port. We did stop at a cheese store on our way back. Overall, we would definitely do this again.

5.00If you love birds - this is the place to go. Our guide Andre was very nice and gave us a tour before arriving to the bird spot. We visited the Iguana spot, fed them and also saw a few fun sights prior. At the bird spot, we were able to feed them, let them hang out with us - on us (literally) and enjoy all the colors and sounds. It was a beautiful experience <3
Fun but Not a Must

3.00This place is fun but small and when we went it was very crowded. You’re given a small container of seeds to feed the birds and they will occasionally come to you.
GREAT experience!

5.00So much fun! Beautiful birds! Highly recommend! P.s. if you are scared of birds, this might not be the experience for you as they LOVE to land on your head/shoulders/arms. :)

The Enjoyable Birds

5.00A unique tour experience that we normally don’t get to do. The birds make it fun by flying all around you and eating from your hand along with flying and landing on you and experiencing birds in a different way! This was fun!
