Embark on a 2.5-hour bird-watching exploration of the refuge beginning either at 6 a.m. for morning expeditions or at 3:30 p.m. Upon meeting our driver guide at the hotel lobby, you will be escorted to a pre-arranged spot warmly welcomed by your naturalist guide. From there, you will venture into the magnificent bird sanctuary. During your journey, you’ll travel on a floating platform formed by merging two traditional dugout fishing canoes. Though currently made from fiber, just a decade earlier, most of these vessels were painstakingly crafted from large tree trunks. Your knowledgeable guide will skillfully command the vessel using a long pole, sans any motor assistance. This entire floating contraption will be solely at the disposal of you or your group.
