“My wife and I hired Mandy to lead us for a day of birding on Kauai, and I am so happy we did! Mandy is passionate, funny, knowledgeable and overall just a wonderful person to be around. Her love of the islands and their inhabitants is genuine, and it comes through in her wonderful insights, tips and tricks! I cannot recommend Mandy enough. She will always be our guide when we visit the Hawaiian islands!”

Meet Your Guide, Mandy Talpas

My goal with every birding trip is to help you view, learn about, and enjoy more birds! Whether you envision casually cruising the coastline in search of seabirds, chasing after endemic forest birds, exploring local hot spots, or all of the above. I am dedicated to providing customized excursions to create your ultimate Hawaii birding experience.

My promise on every eco-tour is to ensure that each guest is having a great time while learning about Hawaii’s alluring flora and fauna. When I’m not guiding I am proud to be involved in local avian conservation initiatives. I look forward to sharing Hawaii’s beautiful birds, unique wildlife, and the projects in place to help save them, with you.
