Excellent time at a bird sanctuary. - This was a fun tour. About an hour drive from Cartagena, which gave time to look around the countryside away from the city. Bird sanctuary was excellent, with lots of variety, large enclosure spaces, and birds who are used to people being around, so they don't fly away when you come near. The pathways you follow are well marked, mostly shaded, and lots of benches. The guide/driver, Jesus, was really pleasant, seemed interested, flexible, and knowledgeable, contributing to the experience being so positive. Would really recommend as a great half day adventure.

Amazing diversity. - If you are into nature, this is the place to see the vast diversity of birds Colombia has to offer. Amazing macaws, silly toucans, magestic peacocks and monster iguanas, amongst others.

A unique experience - I had thought this was to be a small group, but it was the guide, driver and me
The driver was expert in navigating difficult roads, horse and donkey drawn carts and many motor cycles wearing in/out. PLUS a deluge.
The guide was friendly, had led several groups into the Aviary and was knowledgeable, fluent in English and often prepared me for upcoming sights.
The Abiary is not to be believed. I was there during a rainstorm, had the place to myself and birds were super friendly and comfortable going up to me, landing on my head and arm
This is not to be missed. Allow at least 2 hours. Worth every penny

Wonderful Informative Tour of the Aviary - The small group half day tour to the aviary was wonderful. Our tour consisted of four people and the tour guide, Andrea; as well as the driver and two apprentice guides. Andrea was amazing, as were the two apprentices!! Andrea knows so much about the birds in the aviary, as well as the local environs, and was able to answer all our questions. The aviary is a beautiful place to visit if you are interested in birds and the natural environment around Cartagena, but the signage is limited so a guide is a big help. The local lunch that followed was excellent. The morning departure was a few minutes delayed as the driver needed to pick up the group members at various locations around the old city, but the team updated us by text so we were aware. The tickets to the aviary and the lunch were included in the tour fee. I highly recommend this tour!

Superb Cartagena experience - The tour was so very much worth it! Guides were very knowledgeable and personable, very flexible and very attentive to the needs of our group . We opted to have lunch at the beach and a little beach time which was a great experience in itself— excellent lunch and fun in the water. Again we were very well taken care of. I can’t recommend this highly enough!

Fantastic Day at the Aviary - The visit to the Aviary was simply wonderful, made even more so by our guides Yerlis and Wilberto. They were very accommodating , allowed plenty of time in the aviary and also pointed out various other things on our way to and from the Aviary. Lunch was delicious and it was special to sample the local cuisine. Yerlis and Gilberto have my highest recommendations.

Amazing tour of the Aviario National - Our guide Yerlis along with our driver Wilberto picked us up at our hotel exactly at 8am as booked. A 45 minute drive to the Aviary, arriving just as it opened and no one else was there. The buses arrived just as we finished. We avoided the heat of the day. Yerlis was an excellent guide, identifying the birds and local flora and fauna. This place is amazing! Most of the trips are half day at the avairy lunch and the beach. We aren’t beach people and definitely wanted to spend lots of time learning about the birds and local life. We did! See some attached pics. After we were finished we went to a very local restaurant where Yerlis ordered a fabulous fish soup, a fried whole fish, coconut rice, avocado, fresh lemonade and a coconut lemonade which is a local drink. Couldn’t have been better! This your may be a bit more expensive then others but worth every bit. Yerlis also offered suggestions for other tours we were interested in and restaurant recommendations.

The Enterprise No-show to the combined venue.Therefore, there was no tour. - There was no activity due to lack of Enterprise. We went to the combined place and nobody showed up.
We've been waiting for over an hour. We tried to contact the Enterprise. Then we saw that the tour was cancelled.

No showed - Didn't receive any information from the company and they never showed up to pick us up. Called their number and it was a dead line. Now I'm wondering how to get my money back for a trip that never happened.
