Fantastic Winter Wildlife experience with Ryan and Ladybird Tours… Highly recommend if you’re visiting Gdansk.

5.00We had an amazing time on the Winter Wildlife experience with Ryan from Ladybird Tours in Gdańsk, Poland. The tour took us through the beautiful Ptasi Raj nature preserve, where we walked quiet forest trails and visited two different blinds overlooking the lakes. We spotted an impressive variety of birds—several species of ducks, a huge flock of Tufted Ducks, a striking White-Tailed Eagle, and even the rarer Long-Tailed Duck. Ryan was incredibly knowledgeable about the area, the trails, and the local wildlife. He kept us updated on recent moose activity, and thanks to his guidance we were lucky enough to glimpse two bull moose moving through the forest. His friendly demeanor and native English fluency made the experience relaxed and enjoyable. The thoughtful extras really stood out, too—Ryan brought loaner binoculars (a lifesaver since I don’t travel with mine) and a flask of hot chocolate that was perfect for warming up along the way. Reaching the nature preserve was easy using the city bus line, and Ladybird Tours was very helpful in directing us to the correct stop. I wouldn’t hesitate to book this tour if you’re in the area. It’s a fantastic way to see local wildlife, enjoy some peaceful nature, and take a refreshing break from the city. Highly recommended!

5.00Ryan the tour guide was very professional, knowledgeable and friendly too. All the way he was very attentive to the chirping and other noises around us! My husband and I will treasure our first bird watching experience for a lifetime. It was our first but surely not the last! Thanks Ryan for your service which I recommend 👏👍
Birds all over the place

5.00We had a wonderfully good time in Ryan's company. The man is very passionate and knowledgeable when it comes to the fauna and flora. As a fellow birder myself it was awesome to exchange stories, trivia and recommendations with him. The nature is beautiful and he made sure we didn't lack any essentials like mosquito repellent. We saw over thirty species of birds, including an exciting lesser spotted woodpecker. He taught us about the local fungi too. The weather wasn't perfect but it would have taken more than that to dampen our enthusiasm. Clearly would recommend with my eyes closed.
A Very Enjoyable Morning

5.00We (a group of 4) took a morning tour of the Ptasi Raj reserve with Ryan on a Friday morning. Weather was perfect, and the pace of the walk and the stops we made were all good. Ryan's knowledge of, and enthusiasm for, the flora & fauna of the reserve were obvious, and we were rewarded with good views of Black Woodpecker, Common Redstart, Goldcrest, a spectacular Hobby (hawking dragonflies), Bearded Reedling, Common Buzzard, Marsh Harrier, Raven, a possible Ferruginous Duck and a number of more common woodland, wetland and coastal species, including Nuthatch, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Goldeneye and Cormorant. We also had an excellent lunch in the nearby cafe. This was part of a 4-day trip to Gdansk, and a great way to get out of the city and see the Polish countryside. One word of advice, don't debate whether you'll need insect repellent : you will.
Ryan is an outstanding guide

5.00Ryan is an outstanding guide, and he’s a pleasure to talk to . He knows bird song and he’s intimately familiar with the Mewia Łacha reserve. We saw unusual birds - kingfisher and lesser spotted woodpecker - as well as chaffinchs feeding their young. And a Caspian tern up close! We saw around 40 types of birds. I highly recommend hiring him, whether you’re a new or experienced birder.
Wonderful tour!

5.0010 out of 10 would recommend. Lovely walk through a beautiful forest with a very knowledgeable and also funny guide. I was amazed by Ryan’s ability to recognize birds by their songs and by his enthusiasm. For families with small kids: it’s totally possible to take that tour with a pram :)

5.00One of my all-time favorite tours--incredible scenery, gorgeous landscapes, and abundant and diverse flora and fauna. The ladybird tour guide was excellent, sharing interesting details, and having a calm presence which seemed to contribute to why we saw SO much!! A moose, a rare lizard, countless stunning birds, etc. He took his time and made it a special day; would definitely recommend this and would do it again.
