Are you a fan of wildlife? Do you like to learn about the animals around you?
Biologist George leads wildlife spotting and photography walks with an ethical approach in mind. His goal is to show you birds, snakes, lizards and mammals with little disturbance.
Depending on your preferences, we will meet in various locations of Kos Island to observe animals. Nature is unpredictable and there is also beauty to that. Every day is different, but we know what to expect from different locations.

A fantastic introduction to wildlife walking

5.00My wife and I joined George for a wildlife walk in November, just at the end of the tourism season in Kos. We would thoroughly recommend the experience. George gave clear instructions for where to meet him, and it was very easy and affordable to hire a bike in the town and cycle to the location. On the walk, he kindly provided binoculars and guided us around the area, allowing us to see and learn about a range of animals up close while being considerate of their habitats. He also shared his photos with us afterwards, so we could focus on the experience. George's passion for conservation and birding was clear to see. It was a pleasure to spend a quiet Sunday morning with him.
Great morning walk at Tigaki

5.00George is very knowledgeable and passionate about nature and the communication prior to and during the trip was perfect and we learned a lot about the wildlife around the Tigaki salt lake area from him. He knows the area well and took us to some great areas to observe and photograph lots of bird species as well as some reptiles without disturbing the wildlife of this special area. Would highly recommend a trip with George!
A great experience in Kos

5.00It just couldn’t have been more enjoyable! George was so full of knowledge and enthusiasm - he shared so much information with us in a relaxed and easy-going way. Kos is not just about all-inclusive hotels and beaches and the birdwatching walk shows it so well!
Interesting!

His deep knowledge of birds and his friendly, warm personality made it an unforgettable experience for all of us. I would highly recommend this activity to anyone visiting or living in Kos. George’s passion for nature is truly inspiring, and his ability to make everyone feel welcome adds a special touch to the tour. It was not only educational but also relaxing and full of joy.

5.00George was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the ornithology of Kos. The walk was great fun - we saw 27 different species of birds and learnt lots about the ecology of the island. I would thoroughly recommend a walk with George to any bird watchers, however amateur, visiting the island.
Flamingos, Flycatchers and so much more

5.00We spent a morning exploring Kos with George, saw and heard over 35 species of birds and found a Starred Agama. George is very knowledgeable, we saw lots of wildlife and learned something about Kos , too. Pre-trip George asked about our interests and managed expectations ref which species we were more likely to see. It was my first sighting of a Spotted Flycatcher, George was patient while I attempted (repeatedly) to get images of the Flycatcher flying and catching flies. It was a true pleasure to spend time with and learn from George.
Wildlife, ecology, birding and photography with a great guide

5.00George is very accommodating and knowledgeable when it comes to the birds and reptiles found on Kos. It's a leisurely tour where one can take their time to take photos or just enjoy the wildlife. For anyone interested in local wildlife and things outside of the typical tourist things to do, this is an absolute must do!
Fantastic experience, absolutely recommended! One of the best trips we have ever been on.

5.00My husband and I booked to go with George and the trip was outstanding! George was friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about wildlife, conservation, and education. He knew all the best spots that we were likely to see certain species. We had a wonderful time and can recommend George without hesitation! George also provided a species list of what was seen during our trip alongside some beautiful photos he had taken of the wildlife seen on our trip. If you are interested in wildlife please do not hesitate to book!
