Mandy’s Birding Tour does what it sets out to do and more with Mandy’s great preparation and organization. She is an excellent birder, personally active in the islands’ conservation and related all kinds of information about the birds and the vegetation connected with them as the day progressed. Actually Mandy gave us a terrific tour of every aspect of the island. She has a great personality and is easy to be with and easily takes care of every person. We loved the tour. We love Mandy. It was one of our best days in Oahu.

Birding with Mandy was a highlight of our Oahu holday. She is so much more than just a “list it and go” guide but rather is a passionate and vivacious ornithologist who cares greatly for those on her tour. During our day with her, Mandy made sure that each stop was comfortable for those participating and that we had the unhurried time to spot and enjoy the activities of the birds we saw. No one felt rushed but also we didn’t dawdle along. In this one day excursion we experienced forest, wetland, ocean, rural, and urban birding each with its own unique inhabitants.
Mandy is fantastic. My husband Mark and I spent a day with her in Oahu and could not have been happier. She knows so much about birds, conservation, Hawaii in general. And such a nice, fun person. We saw the endangered Oahu Elepaio, Oahu Amakihi, Bristle-thighed Curlew and many close-up Laysan Albatross. 24 life birds! I cannot recommend her enough and would love to come back to bird with her again on Kauai and the Big Island.
What a wonderful introduction to endemic and introduced bird species on Oahu! Mandy is an amazing source of island knowledge on birds, ecosystems, flora, and conservation. She is engaging and caring as she tries to create the best experience for each person on her tour by building the day around what birds each participant is hoping to see.
Throughout our wonderful day travelling in Mandy’s comfortable van, we made our way to eight different birding locations: urban, rural, mountainous, forest, wetland, and ocean. Each stop was unhurried but purposeful! So much more than just a “list and go” with a chance to observe behaviours and hear great info about each species from Mandy.
This day of birding was definitely a highlight of our holiday!
